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

*UPDATE* ShamWOW v4.2.09 available for download!

ShamWOW v4.2.09 [link -- click here] is a quick bug fix release, containing only a correction for those experiencing issues with Bloodlust/Heroism when Grinding/Questing and when running Dungeons and Raids.

Code:

Change History

[B]11/17/10 Revision  4.2.09[/B]
- Fix:  fixed problem for Grinding/Questing where Bloodlust/Heroism logic was incorrectly checking the Save Totems for Stress config setting rather than the Save Bloodlust/Heroism for Stress.  Now correctly reacts to this setting.

[B]11/17/10 Revision  4.2.08[/B]
- Fix:  fixed problem with Bloodlust/Heroism being cast for trash in  Dungeons/Raids when option saying to use on Bosses was set.  Now  correctly casts only for Bosses.

If you encounter an issue or have a criticism regarding the behavior of your Shaman, please post to this thread with a detailed account of the issue and a complete debug log file. Post #2 in this thread is the Frequently Asked Questions-FAQ page [link--click here] and has details on the information needed when posting an issue. There is a template there you can copy and paste if needed that will ensure the necessary information is in your post.

Thanks and good luck with your Shaman,
Bobby53

*more* Special thanks and +rep to Highend for posting a log file that quickly highlighted the issue. There are a tremendous number of variations of combat situations, Shaman specs, configuration options, gear, races, glyphs, etc. ShamWOW attempts to correctly react to them all, but even in perceivably simple situations there are so many decisions being made by the CC that a log file is critical to quickly resolving them. Thanks in advance to all that continue to post clear issue descriptions with a complete debug log file.

 

Thanks bobby,

it hasn't casted heroism while questing for the last 30 minutes, so it's fixed

Regards,
Highend

 

Is this still a hb or cc problem that he first targets pets instead of the player?

 

I searched the thread and don't see a post describing a pet targeting issue. There is code in ShamWOW that if a pet is targeted it switches to the pet owner, but other than that it doesn't really deal with them. Please send me a log and I'll take a quick look to see if I can determine where the issue comes from, but based on the information in the post I haven't seen that problem in my testing. If I overlooked the prior post for that issue, please link the post to me. Thanks, Bobby53

 

Hey Bobby, just now trying the CC out as Ele, can you please allow in the GUI what spell to pull with? Because atm it always pulls with lightning bolt, and i i'm playing myself, i pull with flame shock, lava burst, chain lightning, and if they're not dead by now, i'd frost shock and if it's still not dead i do a Primal Strike and its dead. Most things are dead by the chain lightning/frost shock. So if you could make these spell prioritized it would be more efficient!

Thanks again Bobby.

*EDIT* Could you also add support for Spec Changes, so i can use the http://www.thebuddyforum.com/honorbuddy-forum/plugins/free/pvp/12041-[specswitch]-dual-spec-manager-pvp-pve.html plugin?

 

I don't know if this problem also occurs in battlegrounds as when i am botting my shaman in bg i only do that with restoration specc...what i've been talking about is the combat bot/heal bot made a duel against a friend bots vs. bot, he with a warlock and i with my shaman and my bot always blows everything into his pet until it is dead..then he focuses the player.

I will upload a log when i'm back at home. (thought i just ask as perhaps it would have ben a already known problem, sry)

 

Bobby53's status... I have family in town so won't be on the forums much this weekend. If you have an issue, please be sure to post a complete debug log file and I'll follow up with you by Monday.

So what am I working on? I have made some updates to Squire [link--click here] recently, but mostly on a new release of ShamWOW. The next release of this CC will be coming out next week that will contain some changes to RaF healing specifically. I haven't received data to substantiate adding Healing Wave into the rotation more with current mana regen, but have gotten asked enough that even without supporting data people seem to want to see it cast. Some say that in Cataclysm we will be faced with lower mana regen, so allowing for those changes now makes sense.

Sooo... in the next version of ShamWOW you'll be able to set the Health % for each healing spell, establishing a casting priority based upon the health of your heal target. Initially it will be only for RaF, but based on the results may be incorporated into the PvP and Solo heal logic. A subsequent version will provide the ability to keep separate values for Parties and Raids (since throwing a lot of Healing Waves in a raid will guarantee your spot at the bottom of Group 5.) For now I'll provide a couple buttons that when clicked will populate them with preset values corresponding to the current Default, More HWs, and Raid.

That's about it for now. Have a great weekend, Bobby53

 

Also please add support to spec changes! = )

 

first time i tried shamwow in PVP and it rocks !!! just a dream to watch it heal my fellow hordies
thanks again bobby

 

Awsome CC indeed! The last group my bot healed, I got praised for using Wind shear on mobs and for dispelling stuff quickly. Thanks a lot for your hard work bobby53, Best CC EVER!

 

I think I read that the logic in this CC is such that it doesn't throw totems during PvP to maximize damage...would it be possible to add an option to always throw totems in PvP?

 

Shammy can't dispell himself =(

Yeah, I gotta say bobby that this CC is unbelievable. I've been leveling via IB only since it's really tedious to stop the bot, change specs and gear, and then start up grinding while the queue ticks away, then rinse and repeat to get back in to healing. I just stick with healing until I'm tired of grinding on dungeons. I've been in some really bad groups where the mdps pissed off the tank by pulling before he/she got there, so the tank would just sit and watch the dps tank. I'd heal like that from start to finish and the group would be highly impressed. Your CC has also kept wipes from happening so many times I can't count. All I ever hear from groups that I heal now are how beast the healer is, or how much they wish I was on their realm with an 80 to heal their raids, etc. I rarely ever OOM unless I'm throwing some serious spells to keep everyone alive. When I switch to elemental I just leave my healing gear on and I still never OOM. The logic this thing goes through is absolutely incredible. All I can say is keep up the good work and enjoy time spent with your family. If you celebrate it then Happy Thanksgiving bobby, and again thanks for the CC.

 

Bloodlust is still popping, is there a workaround that works? i have it deselected under raf/instances and grinding as well. makes everyone around look at you suspicously.
Keep having to say that wow is glitching on me. lol.

 

I cant stop it using totems completly in healbot in IB, its very mana consuming and not needed.. please help

 

gimik, It has supported spec changes literally for months. If you are encountering an issue regarding a spec change please attach a complete debug log file. Thanks for the post, Bobby53

 

Hmm well i was useing the spec switcher plugin, and it never switched specs when it entered the BG, so i guessed the CC can't support it. Guess not xD

 

I'm using this Plugin too, it works for me.

 

Gunmetal, Thanks for the feedback. That's not entirely correct that it never casts totems, it just doesn't cast them as Elemental prior to the initial burst rotation to save a GCD in the attack cycle. It will use totems in PVP based upon certain events occurring (such as Stoneclaw Totem when health is dropping and you have Glyph of Stoneclaw Totem slotted, Elemental Totems when being attaced, etc.) I can, but lets give that some thought as forcing it to always throw totems isn't a good idea, but improved intelligence could be added to throw totems when an opportunity exists could definitely be added. Please be specific about what circumstance you would like to see it throw totems (other than always.) Also, be sure to mention what spec you are referring to as the behavior for each spec will likely differ. Thanks for your post and your input, Bobby53

 

Kuku, Thanks for the post with the log file! That isn't exactly what was occurring based upon your log file. It was trying to cleanse a Shaman that was in your group that was out of range. There was a bug in the range check logic for cleansing so it simply kept casting Cleanse Spirit believing it worked, but would immediately detect it on the Shaman again. You may have also had the curse, but the CC didn't see it as it was so busy trying to cleanse the other Shaman. I'll include a fix for this in the next release. Thanks again for the log file! I wouldn't have been able to identify the issue at all much less quickly without it, Bobby53
