[PAID] Nightmare - Richie's Shadow Priest PvP Combat Routine [Pro Edition]

Alright so a fresh install did remove the error message which is great, I do have a few things we could perhaps talk about.

I am talent specced into CoP but very often the routine does not use mindblast off cooldown, do I have to increase my TPS or what is the cause of this?
Also i'm curious if theres any way you can display the burst activation as active/inactive because right now I have no clue unless I check into the log or pay close attention myself - it's more of a handy tool than a necessity but it would be awesome to have. Leap of faith to help your healer? Leap of faith glyphed to avoid traps perhaps? Just putting it out there, right now the routine works well as a whole but the casting speed and delays are making my damage/pressure clunky.

No log to attach now, but here it is anyway incase you want to check for a reason why its delaying the MB and occasionally other spells. It's longer than GCD that I am sure of.

I generally play on 20 tps and framelock, ofcourse. (i've tried 15 default to see if that changed it but it didn't)

 

When trialing, you try the same version that you will have.

Changing TPS has no affect on the logic of the routine, use whatever TPS your PC can handle.

Since there are spells higher in priority than MB it can happen that it won't use it ASAP. Or is it just idling? What's your current haste?

If you press the burst hotkey it's on for 5 seconds.

LoF usage on trap is problematic, because it's not a cast spell like poly, so you can't really prepare/wait for the GCD to pass and then cast LoF like the CR does with SWD on poly.

Checked the logs and it seems that you're trying to cast spells, but you have pause on keypress set to false. This feature helps you to be able to cast spells manually by pausing the routine for 200ms when you're pressing a key to not use the GCD thus let the spell you want to be casted.

Also, it seems like it's casting other spells and that's why it can't cast MB. Your angelic feather priority is set to high, it means that whenever you're moving and doesn't have the speed buff it's using the feathers. It's pretty fast, so you might not even see the feathers appear, but it's using the GCD to do this.

I've seen that you're quite impatient and pressing MB like a madman, but have some trust in the routine it will use it whenever it can. Set the feather to low priority so it won't interfere with the MB and your issues will be gone.

The feature to let you cast spells is there, but most of the time it shouldn't be needed. The routine can handle the priorities. You just have to play with the settings and trust me that it works.

Have fun!

Hey Richie,

My haste sits on 11%, i'm not sure how that's relevant to the routine's speed in casting spells though.
As for burst hotkey, alright makes sense
Regarding LoF, what about a hotkey to use it on friendly target when beyond % health, or even in general?
It doesn't have to be automatic, but it makes for a useful defensive regardless with one button. (Also prevents pulling when your healer is actually kiting or not pressured by melee if you do it yourself)

Yes, I did disable the key-press pause to make sure I didn't interfere with the routines dps rotation by pressing some button and actually pausing/interfering with it myself.
I shall set the feather priority to low, and if that solves it I won't mention it again of course, just trying to understand your work and using it to its full potential here.

One thing though, it may not be entirely useful to start calling people impatient or refering to them as a madman when they are testing something to make a log about, even so; bought and appreciate your other routines (disc,holy) and never had any complaint or suggestion for improvement there. I did indeed press Mind Blast a lot myself DURING the routine, but here's why:

1. I was testing in arena, the best place for me to see if the routine is doing optimal dps - I also talent specced into CoP thus whenever the bot is doing it's thing and I notice it's not casting MB off CD at all I am manually bashing the key making sure it does before it starts a different spell.
2. I am in arena, I am trying to compare things and perhaps even win while doing so. I am not mindlessly bashing my MB key without purpose nor would I do so if the routine did it itself. But it didn't, often it would come off CD and the routine would not press it (perhaps for good reasons, big chance that the feather setting is the cause of this, but that's why i posted in the first place.. for clarification)
3. The log I posted to you was a log of the testing I did, not an actual game in which I attempt to have your bot run it's course and interfere with it by pressing Mindblast over and over like a "madman" or being impatient. If it doesn't cast it off CD it's doing something wrong, so I pressed it myself knowing that I didn't allow manual key press pause thus KNOWING the routine might cast a spell before I press MB. This doesn't make me impatient, it makes me curious if anything.

I am here simple to discuss and explore the options your routine has, I'm not pointing fingers or in any way intend to come off as negative towards you or your work. I admire your effort and I enjoy your other routines just like I hope to enjoy this one once everything is working as it should. If I did come off as impatient to you then I apologize, but I don't see why your comment on me bashing MB during one of the test arenas is necessary or helpful. It's incorrect if anything, I am not pressing it because i'm thinking the routine is too slow, it just doesn't CAST it off CD with the talent so I pressed it myself instead, hoping to add it to the queue of spells the routine was casting at the time.

I will try what you suggested right away, thanks for your support and I will let you know if this solved the issue!

Thank you


Edit:

alright so I tried, the routine works a lot better with feathers on low priority. I still prefer playing without auto pause enabled because it feels like when I press anything with pause enabled the routine takes rather long to start casting again (any idea why that might be? is the pause duration too long or perhaps my settings?) As for MB, it still doesn't take priority over other spells when MB is castable, for my hardest hitting instant with CoP and best orb generator i'd much prefer it to be cast whenever possible and put dots up after. MB is #1 prio unless the target has no dots up, then mind spike for the CoP dmg increase, Devouring Plague #2 whenever I have 3 orbs, insanity flay after DevPlag then the dots. Any thoughts on this perhaps?

Here is a log of just now, things i noticed;

the world pvp disabled option seems to bug out for me. When I start the bot it does nothing in world pvp settings, but once I join arena it doesn't do anything either.
Before that, when it worked in arena because I manually enabled it (by stopping and starting the bot inside arena) it would start doing world pvp even though world pvp was disabled during the arena beforehand in the settings.

In this log perhaps you can see for a rather long while the bot didn't use mindblast but it used other spells, (8-10 sec straight), I tried enabling burst several times to perhaps hard force it but it didn't help either, and then suddenly it did...
Maybe the log can give you some insight because im dumbfounded atm

I also wont even press anything. Its weird i never changed settings and it just started randomly doing this.

 

Damn, sorry, didn't see your edit. Will check the log and maybe I can see what might be the issue.

 

Hey,

sorry for the late answer, my second son just arrived and the last week was really chaotic.

Aren't you typing something while wow runs in the background?

 

**New Version**
-Enabled functions in RBGs that were only enabled in arenas

 

...also, decreased prices of all my routines as now Honorbuddy is not working in arenas anymore. Might increase it when/if I add PvE capabilities.

Cheers,
Richie

 

How is this script in RBG's? anyone got feedback? mainly interested in RBG's so ofc dot logic needs to be tight etc.

Thanks

 

Hey,

you can trial it and see for yourself. It should work just fine in RBGs.

If it does not fit your needs, send me a log file and an explanation and we can talk about it.

Cheers,
Richie

 

Is it constantly updated? I notice it says it will "SWD incoming CC to prevent you from being CCed" - This doesn't do this anymore so not sure if the author is still updating the BOT?

 

Updating the routine when needed, but lacking on updating the description. Thanks for pointing it out.

 

Anyone have some settings for this thing to work well in RBGs? I have tried it and it seems to do a lot of standing around between casts. I've switched back to Millz until I can get some assistance.

EC

 

Hey,

could you please send me some logs where this is happening and explain to me what is happening exactly?

Thanks,
Richie

 

log attached

Here you go. From what I can tell it just doesn't target switch fast enough. I had 4 guys right in front of me and it didn't dot them up or switch off of the one when it died. lots of pauses for key presses when moving. My dps for a warspear event was around 19k. I restarted HB, switched routines, did another event and my average dps was 39k.

Is it possible to chenge logic for the caskade to use it with high prio for a high AOE pressure? Could you make it pls.

 

Hey,

as it's not auto-targeting it won't switch. It's not a full autopilot routine and I doubt I will ever make one.

It's not pausing for movement keys, it's only paused when you're trying to cast something to let you cast it without competing with the routine for a free GCD.

 

Can do.

 

any chance you checking disc priest thread too? not dispelling HoPs man
