Hello, I'm not sure if this is an easily fixable problem, I have tried different settings in trinity barbarian settings and nothing.

Does anyone use a hota/ww build? I'm trying to get the bot to intelligently use the two but I cant seem to figure out how. My character is very geared, 330k dps as well as very comfortable ehp. So getting back to the two abilities. Using them separately, no problem. Using ww I have found it is amazing but reallllllly falls off around mp8, champ packs become unprofitable. So the only way to bot the higher mp levels I have found is hota or skipping elites with ww. If anyone's wondering, the bot doesn't realize its muuuuch better to use hota than to run over a champ pack with sprint up ww'ing. Now the question is, can i expect a fix to using ww/hota at the same time?
 
I don't think it will work well. This is a bot after all.. think about that-> when you manually use this build, you would check your fury and that is how you will determine whether or not to use hammer.. whereas the bot could be set to use skills, but won't know when to ww/tornado the mobs and when to hit them with the hammer. I've experimented with many skills on barbs and the best build is simple ww/sprint with overpower/killing spree. Simple, but very effective.
 
Of course it is, but it also becomes useless for champs in the last few mp levels. and all i really need db to do is to know to use hota on champ packs, im even running a rage generator for it

ww has a higher priority than hota, if the ww conditions are met the method will return a value (telling the bot to use ww) and never reach the hota logic.
 
interesting. im running a dual wield spec and I noticed in another thread regarding mp10 farming you recommend ww/rend spec.. I have almost 1100 dps mainhands, should i consider selling them and investing in a skorn?
 
i never tested dual wielding, i just went straight for skorn because its a lot cheaper. ive actually been wanting to test out dual wielding and using hota but just havent got to it yet, i imagine 4 barbs with hota would tear through elite packs pretty fast

Oh yeah, that as well. Even if you have the fury to cast hota, it probably won't make it trough the logic. At least that happened when i tested it; now that Polyester mentioned it, i clearly remember that happening as well.
 
Hmm. So what would you guys recommend for a mid tier barb? trash farming or hota farming elites?
Currently as I said i'm dual wield and in a bind, trying to farm the most efficient way. I can hit 1100-1200 items/h skipping champ packs, just considering champ packs from a legendary/h pov. bugs me missing all those potential neph stacks

if youre okay with c# you can edit some of the trinity files to make it do what you want.. hota only on elites or ignore elites if theyre above some % hp
 
Alright thanks a lot for letting me know where to look! Not at home right now, so I can't check the notepad file. I have a smart notepad editor to edit the file just I'm not sure what I'm looking for. My barb will live just fine in mp10 even if he's standing in a ton of lasers, just need it to spam hota on champs to live. Also rend too for survivability sake. Anyone with experience in editing the file/tips to share?
 
rend has a higher priority than whirlwind so it should be using it already.

as for hota, you could give it a higher priority (cut/paste it above whirlwind in the code) and give it a condition if the target is elite, or you could give whirlwind a condition that the target is not an elite.

i havent tested either of these ways but in theory they should work.
 
alright will give it a shot, should have an update in an hour or so.thanks a ton
edit: how do i post conditions? I am waaay out of the loops on editing these files, trying to find it tho

what version of trinity are you using?

if its 1.7.2.13 or earlier, in the Barbarian.cs file scroll down to find the hota logic, cut and paste it so that its higher than the whirlwind logic in the file. inside the if statement add "CurrentTarget.IsBossOrEliteRareUnique" as a condition. this way it should always use hota on elites over using ww

hmmmmm this seems interesting. Ill try this out. Would love to smash faces wth that.
 
Tried making this code, doesn't really work for elites only.

Code: 
            // Hammer of the ancients spam-attacks - never use if waiting for special
            if (CurrentTarget.IsBossOrEliteRareUnique && !UseOOCBuff && !IsCurrentlyAvoiding && !PlayerStatus.IsIncapacitated && !IsWaitingForSpecial && Hotbar.Contains(SNOPower.Barbarian_HammerOfTheAncients) &&
                PlayerStatus.PrimaryResource >= 20)
            {
                //return new TrinityPower(SNOPower.Barbarian_HammerOfTheAncients, 12f, vNullLocation, -1, CurrentTarget.ACDGuid, 2, 2, USE_SLOWLY);
                return new TrinityPower(SNOPower.Barbarian_HammerOfTheAncients, 18f, CurrentTarget.Position, CurrentWorldDynamicId, -1, 2, 2, WAIT_FOR_ANIM);
            }

            }

youll need to run it for quite a while to get an accurate average, remember that the displayed items/hour in the demonbuddy window isnt accurate.

i swear i saw another post in this thread where you were getting compile errors but i guess from the edit youve fixed it. glad everythign is working okay :)
 
Here is the answer for your dreams, just coded this myself within a week.. Uses hota when elites on target + ww otherwise.. Downside is that if there is 3 elites + 30 ranged casters casting spells on you and you happen to target elites for some reason - you start to hota and hope that you dont die to rangeds.. Usually this works perfectly tho :)

Try it out
