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

Wazzup!
Nice, going to run +40 instances tonite to gear up some new alts, guess I am running shaman and not druid for healing then and check out the new stuff.
Will be reporting back.

 

Something I have been thinking of earlier.

Is it possible to make it use Totemic Recall @ distance only?
As it is now the CC removes the totems as soon as he leaves combat.
That is pretty contraproductive in instances etc where u wanna use manaspring for example as long as possible.
And very often you will be within reach for the rest of the totems in the next pull anyway.

 

Update.

He is performing very well.
I got the feeling that his movement is better in combat as well. I have done some REALLY crazy pulling but the CC handles the healing oki even in really chaotic enviroment.

Edit: Haven't seen any cleansing totem yet tho.
Edit 2: Is that because I keep watertotem = healing stream? The CC don't use cleansing then? I'll try with auto and hope we get into old kingdom or similar.

 

No. The issue is due to a missing pc of code. Currently it should exhibit the same behavior as the prior release with regards to cleansing, which is the Shaman will only cleanse himself and only out of combat. That activity however excercises the same cleansing code used. Have to step out briefly, but let me know if with a poison or curse on you and out of combat whether a cleanse is performed so I know which part to focus on as soon as I get back and I'll get a release posted tonight with a resolution for it.

 

There is already a totemic recall distance setting in CC Configuration on the General tab. It is supposed to calculate the distance from the totems that it believes the Shaman will be for the next fight, and if greater than the configured value do a recall. However, presently it is being interpreted as a straight distance from the totems to the mobs. That means even in tightly packed instances it will likely recall the totems. I'll fix the check algorithm, but for now you can work around by increasing this to a larger value (55 would be a good starting point.)

 

hello bobby ... i have the feeling .. that the cc doesn't heal all groups in raid?!

can you please look over this issue?! will add an log later

thanks spud

 

Hello spudstar, I haven't tested in a raid in a long time (the emphasis has been on dungeons due to release of InstanceBuddy), but that functionality has been present since January 2010. Some things have changed in HonorBuddy since then however, but the only issue I am aware of is that ShamWOW now uses the RAFLeader value set by HonorBuddy to identify the Tank. That is the character ShamWOW will cast Earth Shield on and follow (if not moving manually via Mr. AutoFight). I am not sure how HonorBuddy selects the RAFLeader in a raid. In a party it is the Group Leader, which may or may not be the tank, but it is automatically set to the actual tank by InstanceBuddy if in use. Ideally the Bot Options button for RAF should allow selecting the RAF Leader from the existing characters. Another option would be to select the first raid member marked by the raid leader as a main tank.

In the interim, if you may want to hold off on pugging raids if you cannot control who HonorBuddy assigns as the RAFLeader. If you encounter any issues, please enter CC Configuration and click the Report Issue... button, or post a new *detailed* issue as outlined in the ShamWOW FAQ [ link -- click here ]

Thanks, Bobby53

 

Hey Bobby53,

Download link seems to be dead to me

Am I doing something wrong or would you mind reupload?

 

No, there appears to be an issue with the forum. I've reported it.

 

Okay, thanks.

 

Attachments on initial post replaced. Seems to have been some restriction or anomaly with the .zip including everything. Temporarily split help file into a separate file and both now download correctly.

 

Great, it's working now.

 

I am watching my shaman now for 1 hour and all i can say is pure awesomness!!!! This is the best i have ever seen! No shit....really awesome!

 

Thanks DaSoul! Glad its of use to you.

 

Is there a logic for using Wing Shear in elemental/enhancement?
If yes, is it possible to enable it in Resto since its off GCD and the bot mostly just hangs around with the current mob targeted anyway.

 

Yes, it uses Wind Shear in Elemental and Enhancement. No, currently it doesn't Wind Shear as Resto if you are setup as Healing Only combat style. I'll look at that for an upcoming release.

 

Its not a gamebreaker. Just don't have anything else to complain about atm, its working very good.
He doesnt seem to cleanse himself either btw .. altho it was very hectic when I noticed the poison and I don't know the prio on cleanse so can't tell if he didnt cleanse it or if it just ticked out.


Another idea wud be to implent Tremor totem.
I don't know how tho .. maybe to keep a list of mobs that fear or similar.

 

Ooh.

And go steal the rez code from Khryptor.

 

See my earlier response to you [link -- click here] regarding cleansing priority in the version your using. Tremor totem implementation planned is going to be mob based using the same mechanics already present for detecting Nature, Frost, and Fire immune mobs. Would help greatly as you go through instances to note the Instance Name and the Mob Name of those that cast an breakable fear.

 

Well strangest thing seemed to have happened. Ive been running 1.9.6.1 over past couple days due to the issue of "cant cast XXX yet"... Well today I loaded up HB with newest shamwow just to give it a try. Figured since it started acting up randomly, maybe would fix itself too. Sure enough, its working like a charm now. I havnt changed anything, havnt restarted my computer since, havnt installed anything or made any kind of changes. Who cares tho, at least its working now! =D

Only thing Ive seen so far is that its not wanting to cast chain lightning. BG I am watching now is AV. There are atleast 10-15 guys all grouped on top of each other and its casting plain ol Lightning Bolt. Everything seems to be casting fine now which is awesome. Thanks!
