Hi Bobby, I'd like to thank you for this awesome CC. I always wondered if you could turn off lightning bolt when healing only (in instances?)

HB9806B90, If you are having an issue or a question about behavior, please see the ShamWOW Frequently Asked Questions [CLICK HERE] for a template to use and steps on posting an issue with the detail needed for me to research on your behalf.

My assumption is that you are using a Resto spec with points in Telluric Currents, which means you want your Resto to cast Lightning Bolt to regen Mana. If you don't want that behavior, respec as a Resto build without that and ShamWOW won't cast Lightning Bolt. If that is not whats going on, see the FAQ so I have the information needed to assist. Thanks and good luck with your Shaman, Bobby53

Hello there! Simply amazing CC! I have a question tho: I am using LazyRider for BGs, is it possible to auto-dismount when the CC try to heal someone? In other words, i wish i don't need to manually dismount when i get into a crowd that needs healings. Thanks a lot if you will reply.

Tama, Thank you for your post! That's a LazyRaider issue however, so am replying to your post in that thread [CLICK HERE]. Good luck with your Shaman, Bobby53

ADSkiller, Thank you for the post and for visiting the ShamWOW FAQ! However I need the complete debug log file that goes along with this issue. The FAQ has steps on how to attach a log file. Also note, unless you specifically delete them, log files continue to accumulate so you can reference logs from any HB usage you have ever had until you delete them. Thanks for the post and good luck with your Shaman, Bobby53

xsilverdicex, I looked at the log file and ideally a specific time the problem was noticed would be provied in the post. Just glancing at the system time on your computer when a problem is observed is sufficient and would allow me to focus solely on the point in time you observed a problem. If I understand the description correctly, the key issue is that the character determined it needed to switch to Elemental spec in an instance when it should have remained Resto spec. That is a function of InstanceBuddy as there is no code in ShamWOW to change the currently active spec. Here is the line that corresponds to that:

[8:25:42 PM:631] [Instancebuddy v3.0.1.315]:Your role doesn't fit with your spec. Activating secondory talents

I'm assuming that you observed that your actual role in the group was Healer, so you'll want to post this in the InstanceBuddy thread.

If there is anything else I can help with let me know, but from what I see ShamWOW simply reacted to the spec change initiated by InstanceBuddy ( Resto to Elemental) and correctly altered its behavior. Thanks for the post and good luck with your Shaman, Bobby53

Awesome CC, it plays better then I do, and I consider myself a good healer.

Bobby,

Another quick question for you. Does the Bot ever cast Gift of the Naaru as when I am in groups or raids I never see this get cast. I have changed the settings and still never see the ShamWoW cast it. Is it more for solo play than group/raids.

Thanks

I have one more question Bobby, sorry for bothering you. The class settings says that the CC will auto-select the best totems for my spec if i leave the option "Auto". I noticed, tho, that it casts the totem i select in the Totem Bar. Is it possible to let the CC auto choose the best totems irrespective of the Totem Bar? Thanks again for your time and kindness.

Tama, There are actually 3 totem bars. Not sure exactly what you mean, so will explain how ShamWOW casts totems and uses the Call of the Elements totem bar and you can follow up if you still have questions.

Before Level 30, you don't have any totem bars so ShamWOW will cast individual totems one at a time. If you leave Auto selected, it will select the best based upon your spec and environment, otherwise it uses the one you configured.

Once you learn Call of the Elements at Level 30, ShamWOW will set each slot of the CotE totem bar to the associated totem you have specified in ShamWOW configuration every time it initializes. The initializing of Call of the Elements happens every time you press the Start button, as well as when your operational mode changes (enter or leave an Instance or Battleground for example.) This allows ShamWOW to cast all totems incurring only a single GCD rather than having to wait through 4 of them casting individual totems. It will only cast Call of the Elements if no totems exist. If any totems do exist, it replenishes individual totems one at a time rather than recasting the entire bar.

While ShamWOW is running, if you change a totem selected in Call of the Elements bar, you are temporarily overriding the ShamWOW setup (until the next press of Start or operational mode change.) My recommendation is to leave the Call of the Elements bar alone and use the Call of the Ancestors (Level 40) or Call of the Spirits (Level 50) totems bars for any personalized or manual play totem setups you want to use. Note that the Call of the Elements bar does not have to be visible for ShamWOW to configure it correctly or cast.

Thanks and good luck with your Shaman, Bobby53

I have no words to say how I am grateful. You gave me the clearest explanation ever possible. Thanks a lot, again. Please keep up with your awsome rigorous work.

Hey Bobby,

This is the log for my Raggy 10 man tonight. I have noticed two things 1. It takes a long while before the totems are put down and 2. I have never seen it cast Gift of the Naaru on myself or anyone.

I had to put down totems myself in the end but if you look at 22:27 i left it alone and they didnt get put down automatically. Hope you can let me know what I am doing wrong.

Thanks

Tama, Looks like the issue occurred at 6:00pm. The Rogue in your party died and you moved within 28.3 yards of the corpse, but the ShamWOW code tries to move within 28.0 yards of the corpse before casting. The result was that even though you were within range, ShamWOW thought it needed to move closer but couldn't (since movement was disabled.) I have changed to 30.0 yards to match the spell range and added a message when movement is disabled about moving closer. Will be in the next release. Thanks for the complete debug log, Bobby53

fish, Thanks for the log file and description. I don't see anything obvious so will look at this in detail later. Since the range on some totems is only 25.0 yards, it does only cast when within that range of the tank. When movement is enabled, this isn't an issue because ShamWOW moves it within that range. However for LazyRaider use, it simply waits until you get within range. I saw that as a possible cause in most of the log, but he was within 25 yds at the [22:27:34:830] mark and after. So at this point where you are both in combat, neither are moving, the tank is within 25.0 yards, and no group healing is required, I would have expected it to be cast. I'll look at this further, but at this point just wanted you to know I am not ignoring you and that the issue will take more time for me to resolve than most others. I'll follow up when I have a resolution, but this may be a few days so just bear with me. Thanks and good luck with your Shaman, Bobby53

EDIT: There are several criteria that are used to avoid setting totems too early. Among them is a test to make sure that the tank is within 8 yds of its target, the idea being that it waits to set totems after the pull has completed so the tank doesn't move away from the place you set the totems. The problem in this case is that the tank maintains a distance of 60 yds or more from Rag the entire time. Now that HB includes support for measuring hitbox size of enemies which has only become available recently, I will need to change this check. Until the next release, just be prepared to cast totems manually for fights against bosses with very large hitboxes. Thanks, Bobby53
