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

[bobby53]

I was using the profile as a healbot / RaF with another account and he doesn't seem to behave correctly now. Was working flawlessly with 1.9.4.5 but now he seems to pause after/before combat. ... What happens is I start the bot, he picks up the leader, buffs up, and goes into ghost wolf form. He may or may not follow the leader. If he follows I enter combat and he may start healing / attacking, or he may just stay in wolf form. After combat he never seems to follow but he'll rest up then enter ghost wolf, then just stay still. If I manually do something, like click on the ground to move, it's as though he wakes up and behaves normally again until the fight is finished or I enter combat (depending on the prior situation). I am constantly clicking on the ground to 'wake up' the bot before and after each fight. I have tried both using ghost wolf and not, and both healing only and healing over combat with the same results.

I would recommend using a mount rather than Ghost Wolf for RaF travel so as to not fall too far behind the leader during party movement. As for troubleshooting RaF, I would need a log. In creating the log, please don't click the ground or intervene manually while the bot is running so a clean log of the issue is created. I am traveling and won't be able to test RaF myself for another week, but hopefully can gain some insight reviewing the log for you.

Thanks for the reply. I must have been premature (that's what my wife says!) but tonight it is working perfectly.

Awesome CC, thanks a lot.

EDIT: Not sure if this is HB related, or CC, but when I take a flight path the bot stops working. If I close HB and reopen everything is perfect again. If you need a log let me know and I will attach one. Have tried this on 3 flights and same every time. Saying that, tomorrow it may be perfect and I look a total noob again. C'est la vie.

Since WOW 3.3.0 came out with the drastic increase to health and mana regen for character levels 1-15, the Elemental combat rotation is the most effective starting out for a standard Shaman. At level 10 when you get your first talent point in the Enhancement tree, it will immediately switch to using an Enhancement rotation. Good point about those with BoA gear though. I'll add an option in an upcoming release to override this allowing the user to choose the pre-3.3.0 melee style.

Absolutely correct, thanks Likwid! The only thing I would add is that it will use Thunderstorm for regen if Mana % is less than Emergency Mana %.

well, i never had a problem with it going oom or anything, just noticed this and though i would mention it

Yes, but that setting should be at the HonorBuddy level rather than the CC level. The RAF Leader is a HonorBuddy property so I would anticipate this being in the Combat Assist settings that appear when choosing Bot Settings for RaF - Combat Assist.

Before this new version it did it on the "Highest HP member" so that makes me think some of those options I named are possible right ?

Forgive me if I'm wrong, I'm not a programmer

They are possible. I was saying they are options that should be added to the RaF / Combat Assist options in HonorBuddy and not to each CC. Options you should expect to see in the CC Configuration are those which are specific to the class/build you are using. Only Shaman can use Ghost Wolf, so would expect that to be a CC specific setting. Every character cares who is filling the role of leader, so that should be managed by HonorBuddy. It is already an HonorBuddy property, it just seems they haven't added a user interface for it yet. Those were good suggestions. You should post in the HonorBuddy 1.9.5.1 thread requesting those be added.

 

[WaCk0]

Oh yeah totally agree,
Any plans on implementing it in the CC though ?

(Btw not sure if you addressed the totem problem but it's still not casting em in instances on RAF)

 

[chooch]

Just tried a BG. It didn't look too pretty. The healing was done well but the attack was not instant. Should I review my settings or does this area need some work?

 

[wtg001]

Ok.

General Problem: Shaman not attacking with weapon. Shocking only and dropping the occasional totem.
Time stamp: ALWAYS in PvP. Doesn't matter about the time. Whenever he attacks an opposing player. Every single time. NPC's are fine, for some reason he attacks them ok, but not in pvp.
Fight Sequence: Shaman targets, shocks, then stands there. Does not even attempt to approach the player (I swear I am repeating myself...).


Many thanks.

So I'm guessing this wont be looked at.

Bobby, I'm having kind of a weird issue. Its like after a while, the bot slows its logic down, and takes longer to kill the same mobs than it normally would if it had just been started up. When it does this, it also stops reporting to the HB log window. I will include the log file in the attachment, but you can get a more clear understanding of the issue I think by looking at the HB log window output, also attached.

 

[bobby53]

Btw not sure if you addressed the totem problem but it's still not casting em in instances on RAF

The Change History is always updated so you can see what has changed in the current release. I thought the totems for RaF Healing was going to be a quick item, but the logic affected other aspects of the CC so will take some more in depth time on my part. I'll have a resolution for you by Aug 4 when I return to my office and can adequately test RaF.

Chooch, my apologies it didn't meet your expectations. ShamWOW is designed to be a zero config CC. It will automatically detect your build and using default behavior should perform well in all scenarios. The options are there so you can make it behave differently, but in short it should perform well without every clicking the CC Configuration button after install.

If you experience a problem or it does not meet your expectations, please post saying specifically what is wrong, the fight sequence or situation you observed, and the time within the log file you attached that corresponds to this activity. When I mentioned describing the fight scenario, I mean describing the approach, the interaction, etc. in a way that a very experienced WOW player could visualize what is occurring. The log file provides details about decisions made, but it doesn't provide the data needed for a good mental picture of everything occurring when the issue you witness occurs.

Thanks for the log Likwid, and my apologies regarding this issue. I have seen this occur too and am not sure at this moment what causes it. The slowdown seems to occur sometime after it stops logging and not at exactly the same time, at least from the two occurrences I have witnessed the transition. Other than that at this point I don't have a good pattern established to determine what is wrong. Please advise if you get different results when you restart HB after this symptom occurs vs. a reboot.

Bobby, it honestly happens to me *every* time I use HB. Sometimes it happens after 50 kills (which is kind of a big deal) and then sometimes it happens after 1500 kills (which.. i should probably stop botting by then anyways.. ) So like you said, it seems to be totally random when it happens. But yeah, just restarting HB corrects the issue right away, so I have never tried to reboot and restart HB.

It's not a huge issue, just something I wanted to bring to your attention.

So I'm guessing this wont be looked at. (referencing Level 21 Enhancement Shaman not auto-attacking in PVP

I looked at the log file and it appears a couple things were occurring. The opposing faction was keeping you stunned the one fight sequence I saw. The other it appeared that trying to set a Paladin as your current target failed after two seconds. In other words, an operation that should have been relatively instant (typically 200ms or less) had not completed in 2 seconds (2000 ms.) The lack of a target prevented it from auto attacking (swinging.) I'll look into this further, but for now please clear out your WOW cache, restart your computer, reattempt PVP, and let me know if you have the issue again. If you do experience the issue, please attach the log and provide the timestamp of when the issue occurred so I can go directly to the corresponding log entries.

Hey Bobby.. Not to be nosey, and if you don't want to answer me that's fine. I'm just curious where you've been, on the road? Travelling abroad, or what?
Sorry for hijacking the thread too.. ;x

 

[LiquidAtoR]

Holidays.
I'm quite sure he mentioned this somewhere back in the posts

(unlike me, who is at work travelling with a truck and tanker).

Oh my god I wish I didn't try now I can't log back on to HonorBuddy...

Yes I know the Change History is always kept up-to-date, but you said it was a small problem at first so I wondered where the fix/update was.
But as always you calmly explain what's going on, best support on anything on these forums I've experienced so far.
Props to you sir and keep up the good work, will patiently wait out the update ^^

 

[wtg001]

Ok still doing it.

Can't give you a time stamp, because it is always doing it. Whenever it enters combat with an opposing player.

It will not attack with his weapons. It will shock and then just sit there like an idiot looking like a sign that says 'Hey, I'm a bot! Free lunch here!!'

I am using the latest HB, and new ShamWoW (latest one) but this is still shitting me.

I have been using the PvP only setting on HB.

Log attached.
