Tempest shield support

[g00fy_goober]

Just wanted to check and make sure I wasn't missing anything...

Tempest shield is currently not supported atm right?

And if not is this maybe on the to do list? Just curious. Keep up the great work!

It's not supported in the default routine and there aren't plans on adding it.

Ideally, you need a custom routine for that skill because it's no longer an "aura like" skill. You have to keep re-casting it. However, I don't know of a good default behavior for it because how often you want to re-cast it really depends on your build/gear.

When I did some recent updates to the routine, I tried having it cast when it wasn't active, but the results were terrible. You don't want the bot continuously re-casting it when it runs out, because then you're spending more time casting it than killing. Then, you might or might not want it re-casting in the middle of combat. However, if it's so important to cast for some builds, then you'd most likely have it with some increased duration or something to help keep it up, but that's an assumption the generic CR can't make.

In short, the specialized nature of needing to use that skill, along with the inflexibly of customization in the current routine design, makes it so it's not worth adding, because the end result will be the same; if the logic doesn't work for your build, then you need a custom routine.

That's fine, tnx for the reply pushed I assumed it was something similar. Tempest shield is just not that important though

Thanks for all of the hard work on exilebuddy though!!!

I was wondering if it was easy to add in the default routine ?

Is it a simple If statement like :

If ( buff === false) {
cast buff;
}
else {
return true
}

Its "almost" that simple. Take a look at this post showing how to add golems to oldroutine. Pushedx recently added the golem stuff, but this is a great example of how to add your own skills to the routine. https://www.thebuddyforum.com/exilebuddy-forum/combat-routines/221570-snippet-golem.html

Change all the _golemSlot variables to whatever you want to call your tempest skill. _tempestSlot or tempestShieldSlot ... whatever you want. And change the stopwatch time to however often you want to recast tempest shield

_golemStopwatch.ElapsedMilliseconds > [COLOR="#FF0000"]10000[/COLOR]

So long as you follow the directions exactly, you can use this method to add nearly any skill you want to cast. This method only requires you to have your skill placed on your bars to cast. Take the skill off your bar and it will no longer cast. EzPz.

[Xerago]

pls guys somone help me, I changed the code 5 times and dont get it to work.

 

[Sapin32]

Sorry I deleted the change I've made and didn't save a version of it. But realy, just follow the golem integration stuff step by step, its realy straigth foward !

 

[Xerago]

So tryed it again this time it seems to work.

The most time it works fine and the bot recast it all 10sec, but somtimes it dont cast TempestShield for Years and I dont know why.

I went the easy route and put it in a CWDT setup.
