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

[lolfan]

Have noticed a big improvement in resto raiding in the last patch. Keep up the good work.

 

[Reaver8005]

Do you guys use a specific setup for Well of Eternity? Mine keeps letting the Tank die at the last boss. It's doing great in the other two HOT 5mans and LFR.

 

[Rainermist]

hello


I have soul still the problem with the dragon in the hps!
let it rain ** ** spamming only rain and chain healing, then it is always the tank dies
and heal the raid, so I'm hardly hps and the other healers complaining because this has to do all the work themselves.
I have a gs 395 and just go at 10k hps mollock hc.
I need your help or tips for a good attitude.
char should use the best chain-healing and healing rain, and when the tank is 60% live bott should be in a position to heal the tank up.
I ask for help

Reaver8005, Thank you for the post! The default values should work fine, so if you have made any changes just click the Default Values for Party Healing. Well of Eternity is not a trivial encounter and you will have trouble if you are undergeared, the tank is undergeared, the DPS is weak, or people don't understand the fight (moving slow taking a lot of Fel damage, etc.) If you don't feel that is the issue and would like , please visit the ShamWOW Frequently Asked Questions [CLICK HERE] for steps on posting the details needed for any issue you would wish me to research on your behalf. Thanks for the post and good luck with your Shaman, Bobby53

Rainermist, Sorry, but there isn't enough information for me to assist you as I don't know if you are healing 5mans, 10mans, or 25mans or what your role in the group is if there are multiple healers. You can view (and change) the Health %'s that cause a healing spell to be cast. You shouldn't be choosing Let It Rain presets if you ever want to heal the tanks. That is for when your Role in the group is Raid Healer. If you want to be a Tank Healer, pick the appropriate preset or change the individual values to suit your needs. Finally, item level alone won't guarrantee good numbers, especially if good portion of that gear is PVP gear. If you have a question about your setup, please visit the following page first: ShamWOW Frequently Asked Questions [CLICK HERE]. It has steps on posting the details needed for any issue or question you would wish me to research on your behalf. Thanks for the post and good luck with your Shaman, Bobby53

Hello bobby,

I just want to say thank you for the awesome shaman CC. Its just awesome, I have no issues since the beginning, cant understand how some guys can have issues with this cc. The GUI is just awesome and your CC works everyswhere, just good! I hope you will continue developing this CC (how it seems like) and I hope you're prepared for MoP!

Btw, I would like you to spent some money, but sadly donations are not permitted and your URl for repping you is not working (404).

All in one: GREAT CC; NO ISSUES; AWESOME SHIT!

CutePro, Thank you for sharing your ShamWOW success! Greatly appreciate a member taking the time to post to leave a message when nothing is wrong. I will continue enhancing ShamWOW as new abilities become available in HonorBuddy and WOW because of users like yourself as well as those that encounter a problem but take the time to post a detailed account of their issue. Thanks again for the post and best of luck with your Shaman, Bobby53

PS: Thanks for letting me know about the URI. Prior to that being fixed, you can click the Star at the bottom of my post to +Rep as well.

Is there an option to enable the use of Spiritwalker's Grace? With 4pc you get a 30% haste bonus while active.

Obliv, That was an option requested previously, so is already slotted for the next release. The set bonuses are easy enough to detect, so the question is what type of option is needed. Despite what you may surmise from looking at the interface, I *HATE* OPTIONS!!!! I would much prefer that Bot automatically detect the presence and need to cast and handle automatically. The problem here is that I don't want players to switch to a lower Item Level gear set just to remove the SWG ability on fights where the need manual control of that cooldown. So will likely add a generic "Disable Tier Set Bonus Behavior" which would apply to all tier set bonuses rather than just the SWG one. That would allow disabling any auto-response to a tier set bonus and not just the T13 4pc Resto bonus. The behavior to recognize and react to having the bonus is present and tested in the next release, but still weighing out the correct option on UI change. Bobby53

lolfan, Thanks for the confirmation and positive feedback! Yes, there have been quite a few changes recently that should improve Raiding results for all specs, but primarily Resto. +rep for the feedback, Bobby53

Bobby, This is such a fantastic CC the best on the site by far. Wish other CC's would be as good as this. Slight off topic I know but do you plan on making a Monk CC? Many Thanks

fish221171, Thank you for the post! I appreciate you taking the time to leave positive feedback, +rep back at you! Yes, I have been reading up on Monk's and finding them interesting ( wink... wink... ) Good luck with your Shaman, Bobby53

HonorBuddy Mode: Quest
Shamans Location: Various Outland questing with some dungeons (using lazy raider)
What should have happened (be specific): Enhance doesnt reaply flame shock on targets (doesnt use earth shock much either unless it pulls with it)
What did happen (be specific): ignore's flame/earth shock during boss encounters and on most quest mobs after initial pull (with said spells however flame should only be the one it starts out with)
Computer time of problem (local time, not realm time): 22:30~ though i lvl sporadically but thats the most recent

Not sure if it's my settings though i'm not complaining it's still doing a spot on job

Err have to give a few log seems to not want to ul

Edit: Hmm saying rar is invalid (derp needed winzip)

Kazumakun, Thanks for the post and my apologies for the issue. It would be unusual while grinding / questing to have to reapply Flame Shock since the DoT lasts a minimum of 18 seconds and no quest / grind mob should live that long unless its an elite. There is logic specific to grinding/questing to not cast Flame Shock if the current targets health is low, so the Shock CD is not wasted and on cooldown when you engage the next mob. The logic is completely different in dungeons.

I will need the log file and a specific time of an instance you want me to look at in the form 22:30:45 or similar. In other words, I need a specific point in time for each occurrence of it not casting a spell where you believe it should have. That is about the only way I can research something that didn't occur. The log can be directly uploaded as a .TXT file or if it is too large, compress it to a .ZIP and then upload. Steps appear in the FAQ you had copied the template from. Note that it uses a rotation unique to what it is doing so Grinding is different from Dungeons is different from PVP, etc. In other words, if you had a problem in a Dungeon and while Grinding, provide me a log file and time stamp for both problems since they will likely not be the same.

As a side note,

Let me know if there is anything else I can be of assistance with and good luck with your Shaman, Bobby53

Tbh i'll just wait till raid lvl as what you said about not needing to reapply sounds a lot better than wasting the spell on a mob that's dying soon. Could well be the same with dungeon bosses with the sheer opness of heirloom gear stuff dying too fast for the spells re-application to be worthwhile. Thanks for the speedy responce though was nicely cleared up

You are very welcome. The dungeon logic is basically the same as the raid logic. The biggest difference is you will likely disable some options for raiding (like offhealing, cleansing, etc.) that are useful to leave on for dungeons since you can have a bigger impact on the survivability of a 5 man than you can a 25 man. The point there is if you run a dungeon and see if not reapplying flame shock not the time (down to the seconds) and post so I can look into it for you. Thanks for the post and good luck with your Shaman, Bobby53

EDIT: Just noticed you added the log to your original post. I checked the timeframe around 22:30 you mentioned and you are correct about the symptom. There is a bug that is fixed in the next release which was blocking the normal rotation in dungeons. New version should be available for download within an hour.

 

[Kazumakun]

Thank you, I'll grab the update when posted. Looking forward to playing with this toon in LFR (I watch custom classes rotations and pick up on what there doing rotation wise then eventually play the class myself) Better than rolling into a raid and getting chewed out for being bad like on my resto druid since all you have to do is rejuv while lvling

*NEW* ShamWOW 4.5.18 available for download!

Release containing some fixes for bugs introduced in previous release, plus a couple enhancements.

If you have a question or problem with ShamWOW, please visit the ShamWOW Frequently Asked Questions page for steps on posting an issue. It will walk you through providing the details I'll need to research on your behalf.

To download, see post #1 in this thread.

Change History 4.5.18

- *new* - Resto:  now detects T13 4pc bonus and will cast Spiritwalker's Grace for haste buff in Raids (unless cooldowns disabled.)

- fixed - All Specs:  exception occurring sometimes when determining whether to use Ghost Wolf or mount.

- fixed - Enhancement:  was throwing exception if fighting multiple mobs and AoE rotation was invoked before Fire Nova trained

- fixed - Resto:  mana potion usage now correctly tied to mana % from General Page in config
