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

Tugboat, I'm looking into it. I am unable to recreate it but have added to the known issues list on download page and will continue to look into a resolution for you. Thanks, Bobby53

 

Glad to hear it! Thanks for sharing your success.

The version of that symptom I have seen is an HonorBuddy issue, but I can't say what is occurring in your circumstances without a debug log file.

You can start healing instances at Level 15. The simplest is to queue as just DPS until picking up Dual Spec at Level 30, but I have leveled an Elemental build beginning at Level 15 as a form of poor mans Dual Spec. I buy several +Intellect pieces to bump my mana pool and spell power, keep some Minor Mana Potion on hand just in case, setup LFD to queue as a Healer + DPS, and then use InstanceBuddy or Mr.AutoFight. I do this until I can pickup Dual Spec at Level 30 and add a true Resto build as my Secondary spec.

I find that I run more instances on characters I start on a new realm since I don't have the gold initially to buy them upgrades.

 

Glad to hear its working well for you!

If you can explain the advantages of it and it has utility for other users I'll take a look at it. Healing Over Combat indicates that if anyone needs healing that takes priority, otherwise DPS. Combat Over Healing implies that as long as a mob is alive that you should DPS and ignore party members health %. That would result in only allowing heals when not in combat. You could approach that by lowering the Need Heal % for Party Members, but it doesn't seem like something that would be used by many.

Yes.

Thanks again for the post and sharing your initial thoughts and success, Bobby53

 

bobby53,

I don't have time to read through 133 pages of post, so apologies if this has already been mentioned and/or asked. I am having an issue where after a time (not sure on how long) my toon isn't able to buff my weapons. Even if I stop the bot and try to do it manually it still wont buff. I have to close the bot and restart wow in order to do my weapon buffs. When this happens while running the bot, it just stands there spamming "flametongue weapon "or something similar. Are you aware of this problem? Is it a CC/bot issue or a wow issue?

 

Botanist, An issue in this area has been reported. However, I don't know whether your issue is the same as the one reported or a different one yielding a similar symptom based upon the detail provided. As always, please attach a complete debug log file if you would like me to look into this as I have not been able to recreate it. Thanks, Bobby53

What suld i do?

 

I'll get you a log as soon as wow comes back up. FYI, this may also have to do with a similar situation I have had (not using Shamwow) where my toon can't loot after a while. It tries to loot, but the WoW loot icon is greyed out, even if you try to loot manually. Have to restart WoW and the bot to reset it.

 

Visit the ShamWOW Frequently Asked Questions [CLICK HERE] which will assist you in posting the details needed to look into any problems you may be having. Thanks, Bobby53

 

If you have an existing log file that would be great, otherwise hold off and try the new BETA release coming out in a few hours. I will have a resolution for the other report on this issue and you could help test whether it resolved yours or not and submit a log from it if there is still a problem. I believe the issue is due with varying degrees of lag and that the buff aura is not updating in WOW client as quickly on some systems as I am checking to see if it exists after the cast.

 

ShamWow Error

I have attached the error I am getting with using ShamWow with Kaz Quest 1-60. Could I get some help?

Keeps repeating and stuck resting.

HonorBuddy Mode: Quest
Shamans Location: WestFalls
What should have happened (be specific): Should have started moving, when I used a default profile other than ShamWow it worked fine but did not have the correct spells.
What did happen (be specific): Just kept resting and did not move at all.

Repaired

I resolved the problem, I found out that it was erroring out because I had not trained those skills and it was detecting them due to my current level. Don't know if you want to force training but I have included that for now on.

Thanks

edit: System time of issue

 

Damarius, My apologies for your issue, however I need a complete debug log file attached to be able to assist you with any issues. A partial cut & paste contains only the lines output at the time the symptom occurred. A complete log file would also contain current configuration and state information that helps me troubleshoot a problem that I cannot recreate. If you continue to have the behavior described, be sure to attach it and I'll look into it for you. Thanks, Bobby53

 

I have not tested with Arena or the Multibox companion, but will work with you to get that going. The symptom described can occur when there is an RAF Party and confusion about what Roles people have when the Bot doesn't select a Tank. Install the SetTheLeader plugin (link in my sig) and select who the tank is before clicking the Start button. You have to do this for pre-made dungeon groups with InstanceBuddy, so you may get better results with Multibox doing this as well. This is also a hybrid environment where it believes it is in a RAF Group and in a Battleground, which previously were mutually exclusive. Let me know your results. Thanks, Bobby53

EDIT: Nevermind... Current version of ShamWOW will have a buff issue because it casts Earth Shield on itself in Battlegrounds (arena appears to be treated as a BG by HB) but then notices there is a RAF Leader so it casts Earth Shield on them. I am including a change in the next release for you to address the issue.

NOTE: When 4.3.02 becomes available, set options for arena in the PVP tab. Previously due to the hybrid environment (basically RAF in a Battleground) the some settings were taken from the RAF tab, some from the PVP. Going forward use only the PVP tab and the PVP column of the Group Healing tab for Arena.

 

Yes i get the same issue in BG.

Can the earth shield be disabled or is there another workaround for this for a fast fix ?

edit: ahh ty Bobby cant wait for the change in the next update.

 

Just to clarify for others reading, its not a general Battleground issue. It's an issue affecting those trying to run as an RAF Group in a Battleground/Arena.

 

Looking for Shaman BETA Testers: A NEW BETA Release of ShamWOW 4.3.02 is available for download to anyone willing to fill the role of TESTER instead of USER. If you are looking for a version to AFK or run with InstanceBuddy with predictable results stick with the current Stable release of 4.2.09b. If you would like to try out the newest version, all I ask in exchange for your early access to it is that you agree to write detailed posts and always attach a complete debug log file when you encounter an issue.

To access the BETA, visit the ShamWOW download page [CLICK HERE] and follow the instructions.

Thanks,
Bobby53

 

Beta 2.

Totems are placed way too late. First mob right after starting the bot. Totems were placed at aprox. 20% target health (about 14k out of 70+).

Same setup as always, Unbound Emberfiends in TH.

Wanted to report this quickly, the logfile is not that big *g*

Edit: A few mobs later, it went to the next one (over ~40 yards), left totems behind, didn't recall them nor placed new ones for that mob. Recalled the old ones after it died.
Next mob: Spinning around it, I had to move the char by myself to prevent it from dying (already listed as a bug, but it's included in the logfile (last mob)).

I'll stop the testing process for now. Will report back when the next beta is out if heroism is still casted while having the debuff.

Did you take a look at the default druid's (beta) backup movement after charging an enemy (fpsware)? Maybe you can implement this or something else to prevent the "deadly" spinning.
