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

[bobby53]

I so agree with your post mate, this is such an advanced cc. Iv never seen any of my bots handle itself this good in PvP. I got a lvl 80 Enhanchment shammy and its doing really well on the dps part but heals even better when its setup for combat and healing. Thanks alot bobby for this cc, im just loving it when it pwns real players

Mupp, Glad to hear its working well for you. Thank you very much for the feedback.

I've been healing in instances with this CC plus IB, its working fine but sometimes it starts casting, moves 2 yards so it interrupts cast, starts casting, moves 2 yards, and so on.

Also I think it should use healing surge a lot more, sometimes I see the tank with 50% hp and it casts a healing wave instead of a healing surge which would be more effective, sometimes it only casts healing surge <30% which is a lot risky.

When using with instancebuddy as a healbot, I find that disabling CC movement helps a ton. whats happening is IB and ShamWow are fighting for movement control and not checking if the other is casting something. I had to do this with Kaboomkin last patch and it worked like a charm.

I beleive this is by far one of the best EVER CC's written by anyone. IMO this CC plays the class better than any other. The DK CC Cimmeran (sp?) is about equal but ShamWOW stands alone as one of the very best.

Download the english language pack. You can switch languages very easily with the launcher, i am doing the same, only botting with en client.

since the update this runs brilliantly, always in the top 10 KB's and damage charts in AV, working like a charm just like it used to!good effort

 

[DaSoul]

yeah if now hb would run without crashing every fu***** few hours we could use it for a longer period of time then just only 3-4 hours. You're experiencing the same?

ShamWOW 4.2.04 is now available. Thorough Change History will be posted later, but here's the quick overview:

- Fix for Shield buff spamming for non-English clients.
- Use of Healing Surge now the goto spell while in Combat in all modes ( Grinding/PvP/RaF)
- Improved movement in RaF. Should no longer need to disable CC Movement for use with InstanceBuddy while healbotting. Should also not interrupt spells with movement during Combat. Issue may still occur out of combat at times.
- Improvements to Enhancement PVP (will cast Feral Spirit on the run towards enemy)

It includes a few more, but those are the key changes.

Thanks a lot bobby for your great work. Would it be possible to implement something like "random strafe a few steps left/right/jump" or something when it got a silence?

Cause a lot of times i am getting a silence and the bot just stands arround doing absolutely nothing, that doesn't look good. It would be awesome if he could, after getting a silence or something equal, just strafe a bit arround or jump..just react in any kind of way. I have seen that he detects "i got a silence" or something like that so perhaps it isn't that complicated to implement "i got a silence -> Jump!"

If you would realize something like that i would test it detailed and write you a report to help you the best i can =)

bobby53 thx alot for this release!

Testing this on hellfire ramparts as a healer and it only uses healing surge now :s

Would be great if we could have something like a config to decide at which % you use Healing Surge and at what % you use Healing Wave.

Edit : It used chain heal but still havent used healing wave so far. 30 mins of testing.

Edit 2: Downgraded to 4 0 3 and its working fine

Using this now on a new shaman from 1 up.

If you leave it at auto for totems it doesn't seem to ever cast them.

Other than that it seems to be running nicely. Trying for an enhancement shaman to level (also to all shammies out there- dual wield, is it the same as dual wield for war or rogue, do you do damage with both weapons? tooltip doesn't say so).

 

[exfelon]

Yes it does damage with both weapons, especially with more wind fury procs.

Thank you very much! you are awesome Bobby! ^^

Would be great if you could also disable Wind Shear, since when the tank is getting raped it still uses windshear and wasting 1/6 of the time when tanking is taking a lot of damage can lead to a wipe.

Current: The only Silence handling code in ShamWOW at the moment is the message you referenced, the purpose being to make sure users are aware why their Shammy isn't casting at the moment. When other players are silenced, I don't typically see the strafe jump behavior so am not sure implementing it provides much in return. Unless there is another combat or environmental reason for the character to move, waiting it out (which it currently does) seems reasonable.

Future: Include evaluation of the current fight scenario and responding in a spec appropriate fashion with one or more of the following abilities: trinket, earthbind totem, stoneclaw totem (if glyphed), grounding totem, searing totem, run to safe point away from caster, close distance to melee range on caster and primal strike, and when Cata comes out will add support for Unleash Elements.
