[Warlock CC] skiWarlock 3.0 for HB2 - ALL TREES -

I've been able to tear through things as a dotlock, which has been pretty nice. So you don't *have* to be Demonology.

 

That's interesting, what does your spec look like so far? Can you also LFD with the same spec? Is it viable? I find that with demonology I regularly pull over 1k+ DPS at level 63. There doesn't seem to be enough time for all the dots to tick for their maximum effect. I also find that reserving metamorphosis for multiple adds has improved my survivability. How well does a dot lock handle 3-4 at level adds?

Thanks

 

Well if I'm in a dungeon I'm just spamming Rain of Fire normally when we've got the standard trash mob pulls. When we're up against a single target, or two, it has no problems tearing through things. Mana isn't an issue even if I'm just using Rain of Fire as I'll Lifetap (to get the buff mostly) and the healer will generally drop an HoT on me from time to time.

I'll let you know how my DPS is once I hit 63, but I'm sure it won't be 1k+.

But survivability with 3-4 same level adds generally hasn't been a problem. I'm getting heals from my Corruption ticks as well as the bot cycling in Life Drain as needed. Getting 100-130 health per tick per monster adds up quickly. The bot does a really good job of dropping the three main dots on most of the adds that are on me while it then focuses on taking them down/refreshing the dots as needed.

I've generally been able to take same level Elites without much difficulty for a while now... Even with an add, or two.

And you're right, against most single target critter the dots don't get to go through their full cycle, but they are such low mana impact on my pool at this point I don't mind. I'm not going for 100% efficiency, just wanting to do something that I think is good.

I'd show my spec but wowhead seems to be broke currently...

 

Didn't see it in the following section. Kinda of a moot point now as I just deleted or commented the section with the raidtarget code. Decided to play my lock again so wanted to give this a go and i am to busy to write a simple cc for my lock. Overall I like the CC only issue i see right now is the raid target and the meta/immo aura but a patch fix for that has been posted above this.

I see what the problem is. The .cc was updated, but wasn't updated on the front page.

http://www.buddyforum.de/showthread.php?5381-Warlock-CC-skiWarlock-3.0-for-HB2-ALL-TREES/page39

Use the one thedrunk posted. It has the variable at the end of the Editable block, plus a couple of the other changes that have been floating around.

 

Added these to the current build.

 

Updated the first post.

 

Thanks ski!

 

what does "[skiWarlock] Styx.Logic.Pathing.Navigator.PathPrecision: 2,5" mean? I get that message trying to use this in BGs, the bot does nothing but stand still. I am pretty desperate at the moment to get this working since not even the standard lock cc that comes with HB is working (all it does is "resting" even though its at 100% mana/hp) Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

 

It changes the spacing between HB clicks to 2.5y, supposedly makes it a little smoother for people with slower machines. Shouldn't have anything to do with your issue though. Does it work in bg's for other classes? What level is your lock? Does the log say anything?

 

lvl 69
log doesn't say anything,
[skiWarlock] fightAdds: True
[skiWarlock] Styx.Logic.Pathing.Navigator.PathPrecision: 2.5
[skiWarlock] Initializing: Destruction
[skiWarlock] fightAdds: True
[skiWarlock] Styx.Logic.Pathing.Navigator.PathPrecision: 2.5
[skiWarlock] Initializing: Destruction
[skiWarlock] fightAdds: True
[skiWarlock] Styx.Logic.Pathing.Navigator.PathPrecision: 2.5

I'm guessing it's stuck in a loop somehow

It even ignores combat if attacked. It will run to the gate before bg start, then it will stand there until dead then rez and stand there until dead.

works fine with other classes

 

yeah it works fine with the 5-6 other or so classes i ried on lvl 80, my lock is level 80, I got it to somewhat work with the cc that came with HB yesterday after reinstalling HB but skiWarlock still does nothing, tested it on a fresh HB isntall aswell.

I got the same loop as the poster above me

 

I'll get that loop sometimes, too. Generally it'll only happen if HB is active when I zone into an instance/dungeon (especially if I die in a dungeon and have to run back). After that point HB won't work at all and will just do that loop if I try to start it (even after closing down HB completely and re-loading it).

At that point I have to wait until after I've left the battleground/dungeon, close down HB and restart it... And it normally starts working again. Sometimes I have to completely re-log WoW to get it to start working again (but that's fairly rare).

 

so basically there is no way of botting honor with this cc?

 

Well I don't recommend botting with any .cc going into the BG's as it is VERY obvious.

But this error doesn't happen every time you hard zone... Only when you're in the middle of doing something when it forces it on you... So the 8 seconds of waiting after combat that HB has should be okay most of the time.

 

I dont really care about that i think its overrated how easy it is to spot a bot in bg. The only really risky thing is when it cant pass an object but i have a plugin for that. The problem is i get the loop every time i try this cc in BG. is there any way to circumvent this? Is there a way to get hold of an old version of honorbuddy that works with the other warlock CC? The cc that coems with hb does nothing in bgs but stand still and "rest"

 

No idea, honestly. One of the devs would have to answer that.

 

It's getting stuck in an initialization loop by the looks of it. Initializing over and over again. Not sure why.

I've got lots of changes coming up that will do away with the current Initialization method.

 

Fixes are coming, but i dont test PVP as bots are VERY obvious in PVP. If you want to test and report (useful) information back to me, i can make fixes from there.

 

Trying this CC out on a 74 warlock in full BoA and decent other gear. My thoughts after watching the bot as Affliction for like 5 minutes can be summed up in 1 word. OVERKILLLLLL. This thing pumps 30k dmg into mobs with 10k hp and chuckles! I've yet to see the bot die or even come close to dying. So it's working pretty damn good.

What affliction build is the bot on afflic trying to mimic?
