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

lsuvictory, Sorry mate but there is always a log file. The text you copied was written to it along with some other information. The error 'Tilemap is null!' means you have a problem with the HonorBuddy Navigation system and is not related to ShamWOW or any other CC. Try closing everything and reloading. If you still get the error you'll want to post in the HonorBuddy Support Issues subforum. Thanks and good luck with your Shaman, Bobby53

 

I just did a LFR run and here is my opinion:



HonorBuddy Mode: Raidbot

Shamans Location: Ultraxion

What should have happened (be specific): Started smooth with exceptional casting speed and nice fps, should have continued that way.

What did happen (be specific): After about 20 seconds, fps dropped to 1 - 5 and it became unbearable and dps dropped like a stone.

System time of issue (log time stamp): 15.03.2012_19_58 4884 Log



HonorBuddy Mode: Lazyraider

Shamans Location: Rest of the bosses

What should have happened (be specific): Example - Cast LB while running, didnt happen. And to slow casting speed led to horrible dps.

What did happen (be specific): Cast BL while running and simply cast faster. Elemental shaman is a casting machinegun and depends on spamcasting.

This CC is magnificent, with only a few minor flaws! I love this CC so much, but would love it more if these few flaws getting fixed!

My logs is to big to be attached

 

anyone able to get a pretty high arena ranking using this cc?

 

Try turning your log into a .zip file and check again if it's too big.
Those logs have to be so incredibly large in size if a .zip doesn't make it.
That would have to be botting worth a few hours at least on max debug output.

An example, a text logfile of 12 MB turns into less than 1 MB after zipping it up on best settings in winrar (which takes like 10 seconds on a dualcore).
Just make sure it's a zip file, because rar files are not accepted (or that has changed since the last time I tried).

I have 1.8K rating in 2s and 2K in 3s with this CC. so I suppose it's doing fine.

 

Bobby, just an idea and its probably not worth the amount of work. But would seperate CCs for specs make everything run quicker? Like a pure healbot, Pure Ele Bot, and pure Enh Bot?

 

hy i make a new shaman and had a little prob

he dont attack in melee range...he stops fighting

i use shamwow all the time and had this problem never before^^

Greetz =)

 

Shuklu,
Thanks for the extremely well written post. Please compress the .log file to a .zip and attach. The compression rate should be about 93% which will accommodate a debug log even for a 24 hour session. I'll keep an eye out for it. Thanks again for taking the time to post so accurately and with that amount of detail, Bobby53

 

sabastich, My most humble apologies.... I had tested low-level Shaman support in this release, but clearly made some changes which broke it after I completed the testing. Please drop back to using 4.5.15 for starting a new Shaman until getting your first talent point. You should be fine using 4.5.16 from there forward. I'll have a fix posted for this issue late tonight. Thank you for providing the complete debug log file. I wouldn't have found the issue this quickly without it. Thanks again and good luck with your Shaman, Bobby53

 

creating a log for you now, going to isolate this heal interupt movement issue

 

creating a log for you now, going to isolate this heal interupt movement issue . The issue doesn't happen all the time, but it does happen quite frequently (a few times each BG). I'm not sure if it happens in PvE as well because i only even use LazyRaider.
Is there any chance of adding support for RaidBot? Its proven to speed up custom class routines quite a lot...

HonorBuddy Mode: BGBuddy
Shamans Location: IoC
What should have happened (be specific): Shaman should have healed his target that was in range
What did happen (be specific): Shaman kept moving forward before a heal had finished casting, even though the target was never out of range and thus letting the target die.
Computer time of problem (local time, not realm time): 11:30ish (i stopped the bot when it happened so it should be towards the end of the log)

Here is the log files, all zipped. I'm guessing you will see which one is the raidbot one and lazyraider one. Let me know if you wan't me to test or do something which can help you out. Got a lot of sparetime this week

 

Can anyone comment on how this healing goes in 25man raids?? Thinking of trying to raid on my shaman

 

doing fine in LFR's

 

LULK, Thank you for the excellent log reference on the movement issue. First, this appears to be an issue only when running with BGBuddy and possibly due to the small time delay between the time you cast a spell in WOW and the cast bar appears. So ShamWOW is casting a spell and returns to BGBuddy and before WOW begins indicates is busy casting a spell BGBuddy begins to move. I shouldn't need any more info on this issue as now I know specifically what to look for on whether I am duplicating the issue you are seeing or not, but it likely will not be a quick fix.

All support for Raiding with ShamWOW is via LazyRaider. See the FAQ for assistance with setting up for raiding and end game play in general.

Sorry, missed this earlier post from you. I am working on an adjustment to the architecture that will seperate the work somewhat along those lines while still providing a single CC to keep things simple for users. It will be introduced incrementally as I don't have any large blocks of time coming up to focus solely on that, but it is coming.

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

 

If it helps, i do recall this issue happing with the old PvPbot as well i just never got around to posting it.

I hit 85 1 day and 3 hours ago, played time. Since then I've gotten my full Ruthless Resto set running TP. I ran it a few hours at a time and haven't gotten a single whisper and I'm usually in the top 3 heals for the BG. So great work there. I figured I'd try and LFR since my ilvl is is like 384. I was dead last in heals. I did 6.31mil for madness. The other healers, who were also Shamans, did 15.04mil and 14.22 mil. Are there some settings I should change? Thanks

 

ShamWOW not doing nothing...

HonorBuddy Mode: CombatMode

Shamans Location: Deepholm

What should have happened (be specific): he should defend himself and kill the mob

What did happen (be specific): nothing, i had to kill the mob by hand

ripglider, Congratulations on your toon! Glad it was working well for you in BGs. A couple quick notes:

1. Don't expect great overall numbers if you are running raids in Ruthless. ShamWOW can't fix that you are raiding in PVP gear. Because of the LFR system works, the item level will gain you entry to an LFR raid. If you are with other healers that that need Maw or the trink, it will also get you kicked. In a Raid PUG on your realm you wouldn't get an invite.

2. For Raids where your role is a raid healer, go to: Class Config -> Group Healing and do the following:
- click RAF Healing Rain Spec preset
- set Raid Healing -> Strategy to Raid Only

3. If you run any 5-mans or Heroics after this, remember to go back and click the Default Values preset on that page. You can't heal 5 man heroics with a raid setup any more than you can heal raids with a heroics setup.

If you have any other issues, don't forget to visit the ShamWOW Frequently Asked Questions page and follow the steps in FAQ #1 on how to post the detail needed for me to research your issue.

Thanks and good luck with your Shaman, Bobby53
