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

[projektt]

On the raget dummy i'm always SOLO, never in a group. All I do (every time) is cast flame shock and the bot does the rest. The previous version, after casting FLAME SHOCK, will cast all instant spells such as elemental mastery, drop totems, then execute rotations.

The new version in a solo group, after I casted FLAME SHOCK, just did the full casting rotations but no totems

Last night I healed heroic shannox with this cc and lazyraider. It was incredible, I was top heals for the fight. Thanks for the awesome cc.

One suggestion that would have improved my healing on the fight. Is there any way you can add use unleash elements only on moving. I have it set to 0 so it is disabled, but I would sill like the cc to use it when I am moving. It would greatly increase my healing while on the move.

Thanks, Jon

well it works perfect in dungeons so far. oh well about that dummy

Hi Jon! Hadn't heard from you in awhile. Glad to hear its working well for you and thanks for sharing your success! +rep ShamWOW is currently setup to use both Unleash Elements and Riptide when it initiates movement, but because movement is disabled with LazyRaider that code does not get invoked. I'll see what I can do to make that available for LazyRaider users in the same way Riptide is (it should have been cast while moving if needed or if you had the T12 2pc bonus.) If you heal a raid again today or tomorrow, glance at your system time when you are moving during a healing phase and then post your complete log along with the time reference. That would be very helpful in getting this implemented correctly. Thanks for your help, Bobby53

projektt, Sorry mate, but after testing it appears that my earlier reply on this issue was correct. I just ran three tests on the same dummy you used with 4.5.05, 4.5.06, and 4.5.07 using the default settings. All behave exactly the same using all abilities and dropping totems at the start of combat. Your config file has the Save Totems for Stressful Situations set to YES on the Grinding tab which will prevent setting totems when fighting a dummy. I repeated the three tests again after setting the same option to YES that you have, and none of the three versions drop totems. So it is behaving as designed. If you achieved different results, it was because you were a member of a group so RAF behaviors were used instead of Grinding behaviors. The group members don't have to be anywhere near you and can even be offline so long as you remain in the group. Otherwise, the config setting was changed since the dummy session you recall. Please feel free to repeat the tests yourself if needed but be sure to provide log files if you encounter an issue. Thanks for the follow up and good luck with your Shaman, Bobby53

I cant stop casting water walking and water breathing... it looks really odd when it gets cast and there is no water in the bg...

1990camaro, A few quick items:
1. It's not about water in PVP. They are cast to combat against the enemy purging other more needed buffs.
2. Those that don't care and want it to stop:
-- a. Uncheck the options in Class Config
-- b. Remove the associated Minor Glyphs
-- c. Run BGs having more than 15 players in your raid
If you have any further issues, be sure to see the ShamWOW Frequently Asked Questions [CLICK HERE] for a template to use and steps on posting an issue with the detail needed for me to research on your behalf.
Thanks and good luck with your Shaman, Bobby53

For some reason I can't find that option anywhere :/ Where exactly is it? I must be blind!

Mark, Sorry to hear about your issue, but as mentioned before I'll need you to post your complete debug log file for the occurrence as described in the ShamWOW Frequently Asked Questions. Thanks and good luck with your Shaman, Bobby53

projektt, The configuration UI is split up into activity categories. You would want the Grinding tab which is the term currently used to refer to activities that are not PVP, RAF, or Group Healing. Given the current evolution of HonorBuddy, this tab may be more appropriately named Soloing. Let me know your thoughts on that. Here is a snapshot of what you are looking for. The Red outlined area controls behavior related to Stressful Fights, while the Blue outlined checkbox is the one checked on in your setup that indicates you want to wait to cast totems until you encounter a stressful fight. It might warrant refining the wording here as well.

Best of luck with it Wuzzery! I've done it a few different ways:
1. Leader run Quest Bot or Grind Bot, Party Plug-in, and set WOW looting to Free For All; two DPS run Party Bot, Pass on Loot setting in WOW, and disable Looting in HonorBuddy. Basically they get the grind XP only. You will have to babysit when mounts/vehicles/phased zones/instanced zones enter the picture.
2. Once you hit Level 15 you can InstanceBuddy level. Make one a Healer for faster queue times (can be either Resto or stay Elemental through 30.) IB will usually reform the group after the dungeon run completes. Sometimes have problems regrouping depending upon how the group breaks up.

You can also work LazyRaider in for the leaders Bot to allow doing instances that IB currently has problems with, as well as group PVP.

Let me know how it goes and what you find works best for you. Good luck with your Shams, Bobby53

I'll probably go with controlling the leader with lazyraider, since I don't trust Honorbuddy enough to let it play them without me being there. I have one of each spec but am thinking about having 2 ele and one resto, due to the range.

Hey bobby, just got done with my firelands clear, here's the log. I forgot to turn on debug in the options, if needed I'll post another one next tuesday.

Around the 6:18 mark is when I has doing a bit of moving for rhyolith. Beginning of the fight I had forgot to turn off unleashed elements, but changed it pretty quick.

Log attached.

Sorry Jon, I do really need the Debug enabled log. Thank you for capturing this info and posting, I greatly appreciate it. Unfortunately without the debug info it only represents a list of the spells that were cast and is missing the trace output statements indicating how decisions were made (including the decision to not cast something for example). I won't have a chance to do anything on it this weekend as I have company coming in town, but after that I'll use LazyRaider in a BG to gen the info. Again, thanks for taking this on and posting the log, Bobby53

"Can I force it to always use Water Shield?
Yes. Set Damage Shield Mana % to 101 and set the Water Shield Mana % to 100. Your characters mana can never get above 100 so Water Shield will always be up."

Sry, but where do i do that? as im right now farming ravenholdt rep, and my shaman always get lightning shield on, witch kills 40% of all mobs so i dont get much of the rep.

Rawen, Click the Class Config button in HB. This displays the CustomClass specific config window (in this case ShamWOW's.) Go to the General tab and look for the options named in the description you quoted.
