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

I can't reproduce the log so its probably not the CC. I would like to know how to use healing wave as the primary goto spell instead of healing surge. At low level, it kills too much mana.

 

alexthepope, I encountered what I believe is a similar symptom to your yours while testing and it was due to the HonorBuddy Navmesh server not being accessible. If you encounter it again, check the log file for navigational mesh errors and check the website to see if others are reporting it is down.

As for your other request, the design goal of ShamWOW is to assess the combat scenario and make the best selections given the Shamans role, spec, and trained abilities automatically. Simply put, it should know what to do without you having to tell it, so it does not support user defined spell rotations. I would be happy to make any needed adjustments to the fight analysis and healing spell selection logic, but would need a complete debug log file so that I can analyze the mana consumption and adjust the logic appropriately. If you do provide a log, please be sure to identify the general time frame of the fight so I can focus on that specific area.

Let me know if I can be of further assistance,
Bobby53

 

ShamWOW 4.2.06 now available for download

ShamWOW 4.2.06 [link -- click here] addresses a couple issues experienced by users and smooths some targeting and movement with InstanceBuddy, and attempts to fix the issue where initially accessing the CC Configuration window would cause HonorBuddy to exit. For more details on the changes, see the Change History copied below:

Code:

11/12/10 Revision  4.2.06

- Resto:  support for Focused Insight and Telluric Currents when combat style is Healing Only.  If these talents are specced, a Resto Shaman will cast Earth Shock and Lightning Bolt respectively for healing bonus and mana regen.  No other damage spells are cast, unless the combat styles is set to Healing Over Combat.  Healing and Cleanse takes priority over damage spells.

- Resto: if no heals/dispels needed, will move forward sooner with aggressive tanks

- Change: automatically disabled CC movement when Mr. AutoFight is enabled.

- Change: talent manager revised to use roughly half as many LUA calls.

- Fix: if InstanceBuddy is detected running, will allow IB to handle all targeting. This fixes the instances where DPS specs were pulling mobs before the tank.

- Fix: events such as talent spec changes, entering a battleground or instance, etc. will now only cause the CC to reinitialize if the spec/build has changed.

- Fix: no longer exits with error when accessing CC Configuration in some instances

- Fix: switched methods of enemy cast detection so now correctly casts Wind Shear again.

- Fix: added King Dred in DTK to fear mob list

- Fix: corrected situation where totems were cast just prior to moving towards tank

- Fix: infrequent double totem casts corrected.

 

Thank you, for me this is the best CC i?ve been used...

 

First CC I've been testing, hell HB is my first bot, nevertheless this is one hell of a excellent CC and bot.

 

ShamWOW 4.2.07 [link -- click here] is a quick fix to address last release not casting totems for low-level characters.

Code:

[B]11/12/10 Revision  4.2.07[/B]

- Fix:  fixed problem for low-level characters with totems

[B]11/12/10 Revision  4.2.06[/B]

Two issues:

He won't finish drinking after a combat but moves on after it had restored about only 50% of his mana.

Even worse: The char is casting (e.g. healing surge) but before the cast is finished it moves a few step forwards, interrupting the cast. This happened quiet a few times in hellfire ramparts. Don't know if it's a cc issue or IB

 

Bobby, it's still doing the

Code:

^EVENT:  Player Level/Talent Update : initializing...

Your Level 33 Tauren Restoration Shaman Build is:  
Eleme/Enhan/Resto   0/0/13
... running the Instancebuddy bot in a Party as Healer Only in Scarlet Monastery

InstanceBuddy detected... ShamWOW fast attack targeting disabled
Max Pull Ranged:   25
HB Pull Distance:  10

Cleanse Spirit: can only remove Curses
Focused Insight: will cast Earth Shock to boost healing

Totem Bar[Earth]: NONE
Totem Bar[Fire ]: SEARING_TOTEM
Totem Bar[Water]: HEALING_STREAM_TOTEM
Totem Bar[Air  ]: NONE

and it caused the tank to die because the bot just stood there and not healing.

 

Highend, Please visit CC Configuration and enable the Debug Output setting on the General tab. There isn't enough information in the log file attached for me to assist. I'll see if I can duplicate your results, but for bugs I cannot duplicate I need as much detail as possible of the operation on your system. Thanks for your assistance, Bobby53

 

<3 <3 <3 <3

ShamWOW > all !

RESPECT for that CC !!! This is PERFECT with IB as healer <3

 

just watching my bot @ halls of lightning....

1st boss + 2 groups were pulled... noone dies,
mage: "at least the healer does his job damn good!"

I love ShamWOW so much !

 

Too funny! Glad to hear its working well for you xfox, thanks for the post!

 

Your a fcking legend tbh, love you =P this profil is almost to awesome.

HB should give you a developer contract to pay you for a universal CC, that would make this bot undefeated.

 

Small Suggestion: The Earthquake spell is a very big mana sink, and in the Nexus it uses it fairly often and then its mana is gone very quickly. Could we have an option to not use this spell? Or change the number of mobs that would require the bot to use it.

 

Hi Liferose, No suggestion is too small, so not a problem to look at that for you. The design goal for ShamWOW is for it to analyze the combat dynamics and make the right choice automatically. Ideally a static configuration choice dictating behavior in fights that vary won't be required. Shoot me the debug logfile from your Nexus run so I can analyze the mana consumption and other factors and let's see what we can come up with that doesn't require an option and manages its resources more carefully in that specific situation. Thanks for your help, Bobby53

 

I kinda had the debug output turned off so the entire log just shows the spells its been casting. When I use it again I will for sure get one for you.

 

Thank you. I'll keep an eye out for your post. Currently, the behavior is to cast Earthquake if 3 or more enemies are within the 8 yds AoE Radius of your current target. It will stop casting when there are less than 3 enemies or Mana goes below the Emergency Mana % configured (default of 15%.)

 

Thanks for the post nhemlis, Glad to know its working so well for you!

 

Hey I just want to say thanks for making this custom cc it's fantastic. I just have one question: After observing my shaman grinding it seems he enjoys taking ~15 second breaks after ever kill before heading to the next one. I was just wondering whether or not this is normal for honorbuddy users, perhaps I've just configured it wrong. As you can probably tell I'm new to honorbuddy so go easy
