stevenr, Sorry for the difficulty and thanks for the post. Please visit the ShamWOW Frequently Asked Questions [CLICK HERE] for a template to copy/paste and steps on posting. You'll want to use those guidelines for any question, issue, or change request you would like me to research/respond to. What was provided is a partial log file and doesn't contain enough information for me to look into the scenario provided.
Thanks and good luck with your Shaman, Bobby53

 

HonorBuddy Mode: Grind/PVP/Mixed/Quest/RaF
Quest

Shamans Location:
Blasted Lands

What should have happened (be specific):
Should be pulling mobs

What did happen (be specific):
Runs by mobs, does not pull them only defends itself when attacked.

Computer time of problem (local time, not realm time):
Monday 5:34am CST

 

TigerX, Thank you for the detailed post and the complete debug log file. The CC (in this case ShamWOW) doesn't decide when to Pull, it gets told when to Pull by the Bot (in this case Quest Bot.) The behavior you described is due either to the Quest Bot or the Quest profile. A Quest profile allows the profile author to basically overrride or change virtually any behavior or setting they feel is necessary to complete an objective. It looks like you are using:

so you'll want to follow up with Kick and get his take on the behavior. He may request you temporarily disable the ShamWOW debug output, but a better solution that uses the logfile you attached here is to filter it using FIND or GREP or another utility to exclude debug output as follows:

which will remove all ShamWOW Debug output from an existing file. The installation you are using also currently has the following HonorBuddy setting:

This would cause the current bot to ignore mobs between hotspots unless attacked.

You'll want to follow up with Kick regarding the expected behavior for the profile in that area and possibly the Support forum if you have questions on the KillBetweenHotspots setting.

Thanks for the post and good luck with your Shaman, Bobby53

 

Hello again Bobby! I'm having a great time with my Resto Shaman thank to this great CC, keep up the good work!

A couple of quick questions:
- Any ETA of Spirit Link Totem feature?
-Is "Use Bloodlust on bosses" still broken in Healing Only behaviour? Because my party ran into a boss who had more then x8 the tank health (wich should tag it as Boss - Prince Taldaram) but Bloodlust wasn't casted.

Here's a log for further information. Thanks for your time.

 

Tama, Thanks for the post. Bloodlust/Heroism NOT being cast when encountering a Boss is a bug. I've made the correction in the upcoming .09 release. Thanks for your help in identifying that. I'll get simple Spirit Link into the .10 release at the latest. Thanks for the post and good luck with your Shaman, Bobby53

 

Looking forward to use this in the upcoming AV-weekend on my 60 shammy!

 

Thanks for the answer Bobby, just one more thing: looks like (as Restoration - Healing over combat) the CC doesn't cast Bloodlust in PvP as well (specifically in BGs). Is that part of the bug too? Thanks for your time and patience, we look forward to helping you to make this CC the best ever seen. Here's a log for further information.

 

Cant get it working Getting this error :

[22:38:29:406] This profile does not contain any profiles fitting the character!

EDIT*

I'm level 58, it its because of that? Can that be changed please?

 

trozen, Thanks for the detailed post and complete debug log file. The message you are asking about (highlighted in the quote above) is not a ShamWOW message. It's due to launching HonorBuddy with no profile loaded while using a Bot that (in this case PVP Bot) that requires one. The result is that HonorBuddy is telling you it doesn't know what to do because no profiles have been loaded.

You can load any profile that is suitable for a level 58 or higher and then launch the PVP Bot and should be fine. For more information on how to setup and run HonorBuddy see the Wiki or post in the Support forums.

Thanks and good luck with your Shaman,
Bobby53

 

Heya and thanks for a fast reply!

Edit:
Sorry, seems like i didnt read your whole post, will test this when i get back from school. If i want to do random bgs, what profile should i load then?

Thanks

 

See step highlighted above. In this one case, it doesn' matter what you load as long as it is level appropriate because the PVP Bot doesn't use it anyway. There is a bug in the PVP Bot/HonorBuddy validation logic that is checking that the profile is level appropriate at startup.

If after following the step above you continue to have a problem with PVP Bot, be sure to post in the Support forum as it is an HonorBuddy or PVP Bot issue.

Good luck with your Shaman, Bobby53

 

EDIT*

Tested the cc now for a while when I was sitting infront of the computer, and I have to say you have done an awsome work! =) top 1 in healing, very nice.

Got some suggestions:
-

• Use chainhealing more
• - Cast earth shield on teammates, and use watershield on yourself
• - When someone attack you, the character just stops running and starts to cast totems, and then he just keeps on healing and not moving, maybe its possible to make him move more and cast some flameshock or something on the enemy?
• - Sometimes the bot run alone into 1-5 allies, and starts healing. This is pretty wierd, but this is maybe something with the bot/profile and not the CC?
• - Interupt using wind shear

Sorry for my bad english and thanks for this CC!

 

You maybe want to try the plug-in "Squire".

 

this aint a PVP based CC

 

Well its for pvp too?

 

@Tama: Good suggestion for a new user! +rep and Good luck with your Shaman, Bobby53

@primo: That is incorrect. ShamWOW was designed to implement best practices for all aspects of Shaman play in each spec, including PVP (which is a generic term anyway since it doesn't distinguish between Battlegrounds, Arena, and World PVP.) This CC includes support for leveling 1 to 85, dungeons, heroics, 10m/25m/40m raids, battlegrounds, arena, world pvp, etc. If there is a specific behavior of the current implementation that does not match the behaviors identified in the Design Reference documents cited on the download post (first post in this thread) please use the steps in ShamWOW Frequently Asked Questions [CLICK HERE] to identify them so it can be updated/improved. Thanks and good luck with your Shaman, Bobby53

@trozen: Some quick responses regarding PVP suggestions.
Chain Heal: change Group Healing options if you something other than default behavior
Earth Shield/Water Shield: see Shield Twisting explanation in FAQ
Movement: please see the FAQ for posting a suggestion. The description is not enough because it sounds like it is a Bot issue more than CC per your descripiont.
Move in Allies and Heal: makes sense if your an Alliance, but based upon your mentioning its weird assuming your Horde. That points out the need for using the steps in FAQ for posting problems/suggestions so I have enough detail to act upon or explain accurately.
Interrupt w/ Wind Shear: already has extensive logic for interrupting with Wind Shear, War Stomp, and Bash. Please see the FAQ for posting if you are having an issue with interrupts not occurring.

Thanks for the post and good luck with your Shaman, Bobby53

 

Thank you! I just want to make myself useful as much as I can. Could you please see my question about Bloodlust in PvP please? It's my last one, some posts above this. Hope I don't bother you, I'm just willing to help you finding possilbe glitches

 

Tama, Responded to you on that yesterday. Bobby53

Ops, okay then, I thought that Bloodlust not casted in PVP was different than casted in boss encountering. Thank you and my apologies.

 

Tama, My apologies. I read your last question too quickly and was responding to your PVE version of the question. I had made some internal changes separating some behavior and it appears I broke Bloodlust in PVP as well for Resto and Elemental. I'll fix that in the next release as well. Thanks for letting me know, Bobby53
