Artwebb, The response from ekimbo is correct. Please see the InstanceBuddy thread [link -- click here] for information on setup and usage including what profiles to run.

ShamWOW 4.2.04-B has been released [link -- click here]. This is a quick bug fix for low level characters that have not trained Healing Wave and possibly Healing Surge. Another release with additional updates and fixes mentioned in posts will be forth coming this weekend, but wanted to post the healing quick fix asap. Note: the prior 4.2.04 release will remain available for download in case users encounter an error with the quick fix that I did not encounter in the quick turnaround testing I completed. Thanks and my apologies for the error, Bobby53

Hey, im new to honorbuddy (not to botting itself). I have been using your custom class and I think im in love with it. No complaints, but I would like to make two suggestions.
1. Could you provide us with a choice of shock used in combat? For instance, Im an enhancement shaman and I want to grind fire elementals. Now it will use flameshock which the mobs are immune for, it would be nice to have a little dropdown menu to change to another shock, just to get that extra DPS.
2. Could you add a function that casts ghostwolf after every kill or loot, when there are no mobs within pulling range? Since when specced ghostwolf is an instant cast and really cheap on mana, it would be nice to really speed up the travel time in between mobs by 30%. Also when pulling a mob or mounting afterwards it will break the spell automatically, so it would not cause extra downtime.

I hope you can work with those suggestions. Again no compaints, just think these would be nice features to implement. Really digging the custom class and it is already brilliant as is.

Glad to have you as a member! See my responses to your two issues below.

ShamWOW already recognizes mobs that are immune to one or more of the 3 schools (fire/frost/nature) used by Shaman attacks that are not physical and makes spell selections accordingly. If you find that it isn't for you, please attach a full debug log as mentioned in Post #2 of this thread [link -- click here] (its the FAQ and starts with an entry on how to post issues.)

ShamWOW already casts Ghost Wolf if configured to do so (which it is by default) including a check for the Ancestral Swiftness talent being maxed so it can do so on the run if appropriate. If it is not casting Ghost Wolf form for your Enhancement Shaman, please attach a full debug log as mentioned in response above.

HonorBuddy Mode: Grind
Shamans Location: Borean Tundra (Bor'Gorok Outpost)
What should have happened (be specific): It should autodetect that the fire elementals are immuno to fire damage and adjust choice of shock
What did happen (be specific): It keeps casting flameshock against the immune fire elementals
System time of issue (log time stamp): 10-31-2010 2:13AMView attachment 10-31-2010_2_13 AM Log.txt

I tried fiddling with the ''use mount'' option again for the ghostwolf problem and behold it works. I could have sworn I tried turning that off, but I guess I didnt.
Anyways, thanks for the quick reply to my problems/suggestions!

 

[Liquidh2o]

*quick correction after monitoring again for a while, it looks like when I start the bot the first few pulls it correctly using earthshock, but then somehow switches and starts using flameshock.
** I can add another logfile to illustrate the problem better hopefully, if the current logfile doesnt show the problem

My pleasure. Glad Ghost Wolf worked well for you.

Thanks for the log file. It allowed me to identify that you were targeting Raging Boiler mobs which are fire immune but were not listed in the Fire Immune database. It will be added for the next release. Please advise if you encounter any other resistant mobs which are not accounted for.

Not necessary. The mob was not present in the fire immunity database which was the issue.

glad you were able to sort it out from the log file, if I find anything else out of the ordinary Ill let you know. It has been going strong all morning now! Thanks again for this awesome CC.

Evelyn, An HB API named Styx.StyxWoW.SleepForLagDuration() which waits for an amount of time equal to your network latency is experiencing a failure. This is a HB system function and not specific to the profile, plugins, or CC you are using. I'll pass it along to the HB Devs. In the meantime clear out your WOW Cache folder and shutdown / restart the system. Please advise if you get this behavior again on the first use after the restart. Thanks for the log file, Bobby53

Edit: Appears this issue was previously reported and the fix is included in the next release of HB

unkowen133, My apologies for any issue you may be having. Please see the ShamWOW FAQ [link -- click here] which is post #2 in this thread for information on the details needed when posting about issues with ShamWOW. I am not able to duplicate the behavior you reported. Thanks for your help, Bobby53

 

[unkowen133]

im on my new guy i made so he just learned in it and as 4 ur link it wont work.

Unkowen133, Thanks for the post, but the link in my response was provided as a convenience to the #2 post in this thread as mentioned. Not so convenient if it didn't work, but since the CC is downloaded from post #1, locating post #2 should be straight forward without a link. With the type of detail described there I could have answered your question with my first response.

New with WOW 4.0+, a Level 1 Shaman no longer starts already knowing Healing Wave. New Shaman won't gain Healing Wave until reaching Level 7 and visiting the Shaman trainer. This shouldn't be an issue due to the much higher health and mana regeneration rates put in place for low-level characters beginning in WOW 3.3.0. If the profile you run is very aggressive and you feel the need to have some form of healing available before Level 7, the options available to you are:

In-Combat Heals
o Start a Draenei Shaman for Gift of the Naaru racial,
o Train Herbalism to get the Lifeblood spell
o Purchase Lesser Healing Potions (beginning at Level 3)

Out-of-Combat Heals
o Purchase food
o Train First-Aid and make some bandages
​

ShamWOW is setup to take advantage of all of these by default, except the food which you have to type the name of into HonorBuddy options.

So check out the FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions in Post #2 as mentioned and I'll do my best to answer your question in one response. Thanks for your follow up, Bobby53

The cc rocks really! Very good job!
But could it be that the melee spec doesn't use lava lash? I've watched my toon for a while and he never used it.

 

[Melvjehhh]

Yes, fix coming shortly. The current version has an error where it is only used with a 5 stack of Searing Flames.

I just gotta say bobby you're the man, I could NEVER belive a cc could work this good. I just came home and saw the following

3759 Kills
18 Deaths

Thats 208 mobs dead before I die , and most likly thats not even the cc's fault its the world PvP!

Thank you for this awesome CC.
