      Sorry for the unexpected behavior, but there is no known bug like that and there isn't enough info provided to research further. Simplest thing to do is attach a log and then give me a time stamp associated with the behavior you saw so I can look into it. See the FAQ for steps if needed.

      New version ShamWOW 4.1.5 posted

      A new version of ShamWOW 4.1.5 has been uploaded! This has been altered to work with the API change made in HonorBuddy 1.9.5.1 regarding level bot settings which was causing complie errors. Other minor fixes also included. Please see Change notes for more.

      I have left a link to ShamWOW 4.1.4 (prior version) also for those that are still using a prior version of HonorBuddy.

      Not really sure what other info I can provide so I will be as specific as possible.

      I am pvp botting in WSG and AB.
      I am a shaman with talent points in enhance.
      I am using a 2h weapon.
      The bot is attacking with shock spells, but nothing else, no mele, or lightening bolt. <- This is the problem area. Only in pvp, it uses weapons during pve grinding.
      The shaman is healing himself.
      I am using HB 1.951
      I am using the latest ShamWoW
      The only plugin I am using is Auto Equip
      I am an Orc.

      I will attach a recent log.

      I'm a big fan of the CC, but I have a couple (possible) suggestions.

      Early levels (20-40): Having trouble with caster mobs more than anything else. Shaman will at times lightning pull one, but when it goes out of range, fire shock another. Once it's got 2 casters on it, it'll fight them until it tries to heal, which is when it will die.

      My shaman isn't well geared (no heirlooms, etc) but he does have lifeblood, and uses that first. The biggest problem I'm seeing is the logic that comes after a pull, as well as the way it heals itself. If it spammed a couple LHWs instead of trying for the big healing wave, I think it might do better. I looked at the config file and didn't see an easy way to change this... nor am I sure I'd want to. This is just from a limited testing perspective (Bramblescar quilboars, etc).

      Also, would be nice to be able to set totems for regular PvE grinding (I.E. Elemental shaman wants to certain totem layout for regular 1v1-2 pulls) and then have a different set of totems for stressful situations.

      Again, great CC. Hope my input helps.

      It says loud and clear on the first page how you do when you have problems with your CC. So i direct you to the first page, and first lesson is to post a logg and from there we can work ourself up to a conclusion.

      Couldn't this be changed to say an option ?
      I.e. :
      Use Earthshield on :
      • RAF Leader.
      • Highest HP member.
      • Possibly a Name input ?
      • Or maybe if possible an option to use it on the Random dungeon assigned tank (the member with a little shield) if that's even possible with HB, if not ignore.
      • Possibly a way to turn it off if it's not working properly.

      My GF loves to do random dungeons with my shaman on RAF because her queue speeds up so much.
      And seeing tanks not always having the highest HP, one of us not always getting leader or something else in combination with not being able to put Earthshield off or on the right target makes the botting more obvious.
      (Yes I never leave the bot unattended during the instance don't worry ;) )

      Also I do have a log of the dismounting thing but I'm just gonna test ride the new version before I post a log about it, maybe its fixed.

      Absolutely no reason for me to post a log, as it isn't a bug or malfunction.

      Thanks for the post WaCk0!

      Yes, but that setting should be at the HonorBuddy level rather than the CC level. The RAF Leader is a HonorBuddy property so I would anticipate this being in the Combat Assist settings that appear when choosing Bot Settings for RaF - Combat Assist.

      Thanks. I'll keep an eye out for your post.

      Thanks for the post jrath! It sounds like you are leveling Elemental, which you can certainly do. However, you will get the best results leveling Enhancement. Here are my responses below...

      I would need a log showing where this occurred to look into it.

      Enhancement shaman are gear dependent. Heirlooms will increase the XP per Hour and save you money while leveling, but certainly aren't required. For leveling Enhancement, make sure you buy the best 2H weapon you can afford. If its a green, you will be looking at an upgrade much sooner. Leveling Elemental is a more spell dependent experience. Try to get some +int/+sp gear, but most of all make sure to train immediately each level you gain a new rank of Lightning Bolt.

      Spamming LHW hurts overall performance, because it is less mana efficient than HW. If you can't get a HW off in time, you can either increase the Heal at Health % to a value higher than 50, or adjust your profile to grind on mobs that your character can more easily handle.

      Thanks for the suggestion. Please give a specific example of this in action so I can better better assess the need to add this behavior to the CC.

      Thanks wtg001. Most of that info is in the log file so just attaching it helps a bunch. The descriptive part you can help me with is a description of the general problem, the timestamp in the log where you saw the error occur (or system time on your computer at that moment), and any additional detail about the fight sequence, etc. that was occurring. I'll take a look at the log file you attached and see if I can discern anything.

      Ok.

      General Problem: Shaman not attacking with weapon. Shocking only and dropping the occasional totem.
      Time stamp: ALWAYS in PvP. Doesn't matter about the time. Whenever he attacks an opposing player. Every single time. NPC's are fine, for some reason he attacks them ok, but not in pvp.
      Fight Sequence: Shaman targets, shocks, then stands there. Does not even attempt to approach the player (I swear I am repeating myself...).


      Many thanks.

      Thanks for updating the profile for latest version, loads and opens the config dialogue fine now. I'm still having some problems with the profile though.

      I was using the profile as a healbot / RaF with another account and he doesn't seem to behave correctly now. Was working flawlessly with 1.9.4.5 but now he seems to pause after/before combat. I'll try and explain the symptoms although you may need a log - if the problem persists I'l post one tonight when I get home from work. I'm hoping this has happened to someone before and I can get a pointer on how to fix it.

      What happens is I start the bot, he picks up the leader, buffs up, and goes into ghost wolf form. He may or may not follow the leader. If he follows I enter combat and he may start healing / attacking, or he may just stay in wolf form. After combat he never seems to follow but he'll rest up then enter ghost wolf, then just stay still. If I manually do something, like click on the ground to move, it's as though he wakes up and behaves normally again until the fight is finished or I enter combat (depending on the prior situation).

      I am constantly clicking on the ground to 'wake up' the bot before and after each fight.

      I have tried both using ghost wolf and not, and both healing only and healing over combat with the same results.

      :)

      Nice CC :)
      tho i was watching it for a bit now, and i noticed that when it has less than "w/e hp i have heal on" it heal to 100%but instatly cast another heal, so it will throw dubbel heals even if the first get it to 100%hp.
      another thing, it never use thunderstorm and that kinda sux, cause 8%mana regain is nice to prevent downtime.

      for some reason i cant attach the log file tho, so i uploaded it to my webhost and pm'd u the link :)

      it uses thunderstorm, but only if you have adds - it doesn't use it as a mana regen mechanic. The reason it throws out double heals is because of the way HB updates the health percentages - it heals, and it is actually at 100%, but it asks HB what the health % is again immediately after it heals, and HB hasnt updated it yet, so it still thinks it needs another heal. If it were to wait for the health % to be updated, you would likely die a lot more. It's a very small inconvenience IMO.

      Since WOW 3.3.0 came out with the drastic increase to health and mana regen for character levels 1-15, the Elemental combat rotation is the most effective starting out for a standard Shaman. At level 10 when you get your first talent point in the Enhancement tree, it will immediately switch to using an Enhancement rotation. Good point about those with BoA gear though. I'll add an option in an upcoming release to override this allowing the user to choose the pre-3.3.0 melee style.

      Absolutely correct, thanks Likwid! The only thing I would add is that it will use Thunderstorm for regen if Mana % is less than Emergency Mana %.
