ShamWOW for HB2 - An Enhance/Elemental/Resto + PVP/RaF Healbot by Bobby53

Status
Not open for further replies.
Bobby, I've been using your CC for years now, and it's more awesome now than ever. Easily the best CC for any class, hands down.. I'm happy with every facet of the CC itself, but I've noticed something the last few weeks using the CC in LFR and a heroics.. My toon is relatively well geared (385 ilvl) so mana regen is not an issue at all. Having said that, I end fights with 95-100% mana most of the time, and low #s on the healing meter. Now, I while I realize that the bot is healing "smartly" and not wanting to overheal, I get called out in raids for having "low numbers" - even if the overhealing is next to none.. I've tried basically all the settings I can come up with to basically just make the bot use Earth Shield, Riptide, Healing Rain, and Chain Heal.. Maybe I'm just not understanding how the settings work? Any advice?

Thanks again Bobby.
likwid818, There isn't going to be one set of #'s that are the best for every healing role a Shaman can serve, but since typically you're brought for raid healing let's maximize those #'s trading off mana conservation. For your next raid, lets keep it simple for configuration and do the following on the Group Healing tab of Class Options:

a. Click the Raid Healing presets button.
b. Enable Heal Pets
c. Change Healing Wave to 0%
d. Change Chain Heal to 95%
e. General Tab -> Mana Tide Totem Mana to 70%

Do not change anything else. The only thing that is not obvious is that in end game you want Riptide to be 0%. It makes sense while finishing the journey to 85 to have it as a heal spell based upon the targets health, but in end game its more important to use as a buff for other spells or rolling for mana regen via the T12 buff.

Based upon the results you get, we'll go through a couple iterations and see if we can come up with a Heal Sniping preset and build.

Thanks for your help and good luck with your Shaman, Bobby53

I'm wondering why is says no totem found when I clearly have a totems as the bot starts.
Mavrick07, Welcome to HonorBuddy! Thanks for the post and my apologies for your issues. However your description does not match the results of my testing. Whenever you post in ShamWOW thread, please follow the steps provided in the ShamWOW Frequently Asked Questions [CLICK HERE] which provides a template to copy and paste as well as directions on how to attach a complete debug log file. Be certain to specify the time on you local computer that you observed the problem occurring (just look at the clock on your computer for a single occurrence.) Without that information I won't be able to assist you. Thanks again for your post and good luck with your Shaman, Bobby53

No problem. You will need to tell me what time your problem occurred on future posts so I know where to look in the log file. That is described in the FAQ, so please read it carefully.

You are using an old version that for some reason is being bundled with HonorBuddy. Download the latest version from the first post in this thread. Follow the install instructions carefully.

edited: 12:20am here is the log, done with up to date shamwow, this problem is getting to be a pita

Mavrick07, Not a ShamWOW issue. Problem is with Quest profile in use or your use of it. Issues/questions on this should be posted in the Quest Profile authors thread. Your quest profile name is not shown in the log file, so I posted a general help request in the Support forum for you this time. Tony or another HonorBuddy staffer should get back to you shortly. Please direct any future questions or issues there and they will help you determine where the issue is and contact the appropriate person.

Good luck with your Shaman, Bobby53
 
Thank you bobby for all the help, I also appreciate you going ahead and posting that thread.

I'm talking to the person who wrote the profile right now and hopefully they can fix it.

Cant you pls make CC for other classes aswel ;) ? , this CC is not even detectable the only thing that will look bottish is the HB path system in the BGs. Great work!

*NEW* ShamWOW 4.5.12 available for download!

New version containing a number of fixes available for download. See change history below to familiarize yourself with changes/fixes.

If you have a problem or question regarding ShamWOW, please carefully follow the steps in the ShamWOW Frequently Asked Questions [CLICK HERE]. I won't be able to assist you without that information. Pay special attention to the time you provide. I do not need a range or a description similar "When: Always". When you see something go wrong with ShamWOW, immediately look at the system time on your computer and provide the reference to that single moment in your post.

To download the new version, go to the first post in this thread as always.

Thanks and good luck with your Shaman, Bobby53

Change History
Code:
[B]01/07/2012  Revision 4.5.12[/B]

o Change: Added some debug log messages to assist for fixing EVADE detection.  Users experiencing problems with Evade bugged mobs should post as described in the ShamWOW FAQ.

o Fix:  Resto - Attempted fix for pending spell issue when target dies goes out of range at critical moment.  Often appears as a period of Riptide spam.  Added additional log message to help diagnose future occurrences.

o Fix:  Elemental/Enhancement - RAF Combat Style = 'Auto' offhealing bug fixed.  Was erroneously offhealing when it wasn't needed which forced many people to switch to 'Combat Only'.  Unfortunately that disables off-healing.

o Change:  Enhancement - Maelstrom Weapon support changed to favor Healing over Damage unless in Raid/Dungeon.  If Maelstrom Proc has less than 2.5 seconds left and current hostile target will cast Lightning rather than letting it fall off unused.  This is the same as the PVP support for Maelstrom already in place.

o Fix:  All Specs - corrected several failed spell cast situations due to a buff/debuff spellcast inadvertently creating a GCD not checked for

o Fix:  Enhancement - AoE: implemented better support for use of Improved Lava Lash. Added dedicated AoE behavior so should have slightly improved numbers on trash packs.

o Change:  Elemental - when not in RAF Group, will open with Fulmination if stacks have built up.  Priority fulmination remains the same except for the opening spell in non-group situations.

o Fix:  Resto - totems now set when Tank is aggroing a mob with extremely large hitbox. 

o Added:  /Use: Trinkets - all Season 11 and most end game trinkets now supported.  I need a log file if you encounter a situation where you have one equipped that isn't recognized
 
I start the bot with ShamWoW, no matter which race I load it never works.. the bot just sits there doing nothing; but if I play a paladin or other classes it works fine.

Log is here:
[3:48:25 PM:636] Logging in... [3:48:26 PM:278] [3:48:27 PM:755] Attached to - Pastebin.com
Here is a snippet from the post immediately prior to yours. Please read it over so if you encounter a more complex issue I will be able to assist.
...
In the future if you have a problem or question regarding ShamWOW, please carefully follow the steps in the ShamWOW Frequently Asked Questions [CLICK HERE]. I won't be able to assist you without that information. Pay special attention to the time you provide. I do not need a range or a description similar "When: Always". When you see something go wrong with ShamWOW, immediately look at the system time on your computer and provide the reference to that single moment in your post.
...
In this case however since the problem is recognized at startup the log provided will suffice. The red message that appeared in the log window when HonorBuddy was started:
Error: global config file not found: 'H:\HonorBuddy\CustomClasses\Config\ShamWOW.config'
... see ShamWOW FAQ for installation steps
indicates that ShamWOW was not installed correctly. HonorBuddy is automatically stopped when this occurs, so nothing will happen.

This is easily resolved by unzipping all contents instead of just the ShamWOW folder from the downloaded .ZIP. If needed please see the the Installation Steps provided in the INSTALL.TXT in the .ZIP you downloaded as well as the FAQ mentioned above.

Thanks for the post and good luck with your Shaman, Bobby53

If you are specced into Telluric Currents the bot will use Lightning Bolt to regen mana.
 
*NEW* ShamWOW 4.5.13 available for download!

Issuing a new version quickly because of a key fix found which should improve Resto's Heal #'s. See change history below to familiarize yourself with changes/fixes.

Have a question or problem while using ShamWOW? Carefully read and follow the steps in ShamWOW Frequently Asked Questions [CLICK HERE]. In addition to common questions answered, there is a template and steps on how to post your issue/question. I won't be able to assist you without the information described there. Pay special attention to the time you witnessed the problem occur. I do not need a time range or description similar to "System time of problem: Everytime I run it." When you see something go wrong with ShamWOW, get in the habit of immediately looking at the system time on your computer. Whatever time it says at that point, that is the time I need you to include in your post.

Code:
[B]01/07/2012  Revision 4.5.13[/B]

o Fix:  Resto - Heal Spell selection was affected by fast casting logic, causing correct spells (based on Health %) to appear to be on Cooldown.  This is now correctly adjusted for lag time so appropriate spell is used.

o Change:  Enhancement - combat trinket not used until within melee range of target

o Change:  Enhancement - some changes to AoE support; will hold off on Lava Lash until target has Flame Shock
