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

Ok quick question since i don't really hop on the forums a lot. I'm trying to BG Buddy my Ele shaman, I'll obviously be sitting by the lap top at all times. Where do i download the Pvp profile for an ele shaman?

 

smashbunnyguild, You don't have to download separate profiles for the BGBuddy Bot. All you need is HonorBuddy (which comes with the BGBuddy BotBase) and then download ShamWOW from Post #1 in this thread. Don't use the version of ShamWOW that is bundled with HB as its extremely old. Good luck with your Shaman, Bobby53

 

I actually do have a question now, though. I know that it force-changes spec to resto if Instancebuddy pops with you as a healer. Is there anyway to make it force resto spec in BG's as well? I am running it in mixed-mode and I want to be able to have it auto-resto if a BG pops but stay in Ele for questing/grinding. I know that there used to be a feature that could force specs, but was greyed out in previous releases and removed in this release. No worries if it is something impossible.

 

Error: global config file not found: 'C:\Users\MySpecialPC\Downloads\Honorbuddy_2.0.0.5800\CustomClasses\Config\ShamWOW.config'
... see ShamWOW FAQ for installation steps :/

 

So does this concise post represent a question regarding this error? If so you also quoted the portion of the message that contains your answer, so I highlighted it for easy identificaiton. If that doesn't answer your question, please see the ShamWOW Frequently Asked Questions [CLICK HERE] for steps on posting an issue or question you would like me to research.

 

hi bobby have tried arena lately and having trouble using shamwow with lazyraider it wasnt using damage skills in arena like stromstrike or lava lash or shocks but it does use skills like gift of the naruu or heals though
using it in bgs works perfectly though
my spec is enhancement btw

 

Help button does not work in the gui, does anyone have e link to the help file ?

ty

 

Upload a logfile of it and let Bobby look through it, other than that its hard to help you

 

Logfile of what ? I am just pushing the help button and nothing is happening . I don`t think the log picks that up?!

 

trichomer, The post by amputations (+rep) is correct. Whenever you have an issue that is worth the trouble of making a post about, its worth attaching the log file as well otherwise 99% of the response will only be a polite request by me to provide one. The net result is that an issue where the user includes the information needed with the first post ends up being resolved more quickly because there is less back and forth. Since it only takes a few extra seconds to provide a log file, my suggestion is to always attach rather than spending that time evaluating if one is needed.

I was maintaining a Windows help file for ShamWOW until a major rewrite well over a year ago. The help file was going to need a good bit of work to accurately update, so I decided I would leave it out and see how long it took a user to request it (thereby letting me know if I would be spending the time on something users actively use or squandering it on something rarely accessed.) You are the first to report it, so it doesn't seem to be an often used item. I'll look at doing something for the next release, but it will likely be a redirection to the FAQ page.

Let me know if you have any questions and if it is about a problem or behavior you saw, please attach the log file so I have a baseline for the environment it occurred in. Thanks for the post and good luck with your Shaman, Bobby53

 

Hei Bobby!

Was just wondering what the "Disable Movement" and "Don't target if Movement Disabled" options was under General tab. because my shammy sometimes stutter when trying to cast a healing spell when someone is out of sight.

So was thinking maybe enabling or disabling would help on those options.

Will provide a log file next time if i see this happens again.

TY!

 

sscgod, Thanks for the log file and my apology for the issue. In situations where ShamWOW did not do something you expected it to do, it is critical that when you notice it you look at the clock on your computer and notate what the local system time is (down to the second.) For details see the FAQ which has a template you can copy and paste.

Almost always the reason why an Enhancement doesn't cast melee spells is because he's not in melee range of his current target. This can occur either because of being more than 5 yds away from a player. There could also be a problem with the mesh files on your computer. I am unable to verify what occurred in this case however because both log files appear to have been produced with Debug Output disabled. Please enable Debug Output (its on the Advanced tab) before your next arena and send me the log file if you encounter the same issue.
It appears both files were produced with Debug set to False. I will need a debug log to be able to assist on this one.

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

 

hi there Bobby

Made a shaman just to try this out and its at lvl35 now and doing dungeons as a restro shaman and man is it good(i think no real idea..lol) but it just feels so complete in so many ways great job with it

My question is often due to the ease of the dungeons i stand and do very little for 7 sec of the fight when i could dps

Would this be achieved by selecting healing over damage in place of auto or is it not that simple

What does the "Disable Movement" and "Don't target if Movement Disabled" options under General tab do ?


Her is the log file for when he walks and interrupt his casting 4 times in a row after 20:07:50, seems like he got no target in sight.

 

trichomer, Thanks for the post and the log files. The options mean literally what they say. If you have those enabled, then the CC will not invoke any movement commands and the CC won't do any targeting if movement is also disabled. The options do not disable movement incurred by the BotBase or other components (like Plug-ins) however. It appears you are trying to use BGBuddy along with disabling ShamWOW movement, but BGBuddy movement cannot be disabled. Since it wasn't designed with that in mind, BGBuddy is causing the movement which results in the interrupted casts. If you want to do PVP and control the movement but leave the casting to ShamWOW, I recommend using LazyRaider BotBase instead. Check out the ShamWOW Frequently Asked Questions [CLICK HERE] for using ShamWOW with end game environments (heroics, raiding, ratied battlegroudns, and arena.) Thanks for the post and good luck with your Shaman, Bobby53

 

TheGuv, Thanks for the post and glad to hear it is working so well for you +rep. A few things you should know about mixing damage with healing:
1. The higher level you get, the less your damage will matter to the group.
2. If you select Healing Over Combat, you will cast all DPS spells available to you
3. If you select Auto or Healing Only and spent talent points in either Focused Insight and/or Telluric Currents, you will cast shocks and Lightning Bolt respectively.
4. While Resto spec, regardless of the Combat Style you select a damage spell cast in progress (LvB, LB, etc.) will always be interrupted if it is detected that a group member needs healing and the appropriate heal spell is cast immediately
Thanks for the post and good luck with your Shaman, Bobby53

 

Ahh I see bobby will just leave it as it works so well ATM just dinged 40 so can't wait to try chain heal


Thanks and have a good day man

Mordy87, Thanks for the PM, but I only provide support via the ShamWOW thread. You'll need to visit the ShamWOW Frequently Asked Questions [CLICK HERE] for steps on posting an issue. There is a template you can copy & paste and a description regarding what information is needed. In this case, be sure to include the local system time hh:mm:ss (yes, to the second) of a specific incident where the character was attacked and did not fight back. The FAQ #2 on that page linked above provides several sources for easily obtaining the local system time down to the second. Thanks for the message and will look forward to the follow up, Bobby53

 

HonorBuddy Mode: AutoAngler2
Location: Twilight highlands, or Uldum or anywhere.
What should have happened (be specific): He should follow the route and fish in pools ( worsk perfecly) but when a monster attack my shaman he stands 100% still untill he dies. Done everytime, or any zone whit any Profile i tried, and im using ShamWow the original and the newest one tried both.
What did happen (be specific): I keep dying from monster

I simply what to know what im doing wrong, how do i get my shaman to attack back ? It works perfecly whit BGbuddy hes attacking like hell in BGs.

 

Mordy87, Nice job on using the template from the FAQ to post your issue. However, I need all the information described in the FAQ to be able to research for you. In addition to the description which you have already provided, I will need the complete debug log file attached to your post and the time on your computer that you saw the problem happen ( in hours:minutes:seconds.)

You may be asking why do I need that information? Because I don't have a problem with AutoAngler2 with the profile you mentioned on my Shaman, so it is something specific to your setup. The log file will contain a lot of detail about your setttings and how ShamWOW is making decsions. Without that information I simply cannot help. Be sure to provide the entire log file and not just a portion since some information only is written once at the beginning when you start HonorBuddy. Good luck with your Shaman, Bobby53
