* Shaman Overhaul
Hello everyone,
I bring to you the Shaman Overhaul. This was the most fun project I've had so far.
Here is a simplified list of the changes this brings:
1. Added Call of the Elements - making the shaman able to set 4 totems down simultaneously! This saves them multiple global cooldowns in combat.
2. Totems are now selected based on their combat strategies. These strategies set totems on the Call of the Elements bar, as well as change what totem is summoned if a single totem is missing. NOTE: Only one strategy of each elemental type (earth, fire, water, air) can be active at a time.
Earth - strength of earth, stoneskin, tremor, earthbind
Fire - searing, magma, flametongue, wrath, frost resistance
Water - healing stream, mana spring, cleansing, fire resistance
Air - wrath of air, windfury, nature resistance, grounding
There are a few exceptions to totems without strategies: Stoneclaw Totem, Fire Elemental Totem, and Mana Tide Totem. These each have triggers that fire under certain conditions:
Stoneclaw Totem: Resto/Ele shaman has low health and isn't in a group
Fire Elemental Totem: Boost trigger for Ele/Enhance
Mana Tide Totem: Resto Shaman medium mana
3. Added Totemic Recall - a spell that picks up the totems outside of combat to regain 25% of the mana spent. Useful to avoid patrols.
4. Changed the config slightly - Enhance uses Fire Nova Glyph for crazy AoE damage, and enhance pve spec uses both clearcasting and improved shock talent now.
5. Enhancement Shamans will use their Spirit Wolves' Spirit Walk ability - this helps them close the gap and improves their DPS on fights that require movement.
6. Boost Strategy - Moved Bloodlust/Heroism/Fire Elemental Totem from the generic strategy triggers to a new Boost strategy. Now you can control their uses with Boost! (co +boost or co -boost. Enabled by default.)
7. AoE Strategy - Unified both of the AoE strategies for Ele/Enhance to "aoe", rather than "caster aoe" and "melee aoe". NOTE: Healers will still aoe under "healer dps". (co +aoe or co -aoe. Enabled by default.)
8. Moved the weapon imbue strategies from combat to non-combat. I noticed that they were only casting their weapon imbues during combat - this fixes that.
9. Added logic for only using Lava Burst on targets with Flame Shock active, ensuring that it's as close to 100% crit chance as possible. I did notice on a sample size of 112 lava bursts in testing that it still fails to crit around 3 percent of the time - that is because the lava burst starts to cast while flame shock is on the target, but by the time the projectile lands, flame shock has worn off.
10. Added Earth Shock as an execute ability for elemental shamans only. This helps their DPS tremendously at low levels, as well as in PVP. There is logic in place to prevent the use of Earth Shock as elemental entirely on bosses (it's garbage on bosses), as it will only be used as an execute if the target has less than 1500 hp and it's at 25% hp or less.
10. Added chain lightning as an AoE option for enhancement shamans while maelstrom weapon is at 4 or 5 stacks. This continues to push the AoE dps on enhance higher!
Here is a file-by-file list of the changes:
conf\playerbots.conf.dist - Enhancement shamans use Fire Nova Glyph as early as level 15, they also use the clearcasting talent in elemental and improved shocks in enhance. It really helps their mana usage. Also swapped the position of two glyphs in resto.
src\AiFactory.cpp - Set the default spec that new altbot shamans start as to Elemental. Put Arcane, Fire, and Frost comments on the mage specs. Set the strategies of the shaman specs to "ele, resto, and enh", as well as added the default totem strategies for each spec. Also added in the aoe strategy. Removed bmana/bdps, as those were set for lightning/mana sheld - those have been moved to both the non-combat strategy, as well as to each spec combat strategy. Enhancement will use Lightning Shield, and Elemental and Resto will use Water Shield both in and out of combat.
src\strategy\shaman\CasterShamanStrategy.cpp/CasterShamanStrategy.h - Renamed to Elemental.
src\strategy\shaman\ElementalShamanStrategy.cpp/ElementalShamanStrategy.h - Renamed from CasterShamanStrategy, most logic is the same. Moved the totem of wrath passthrough to the GenericShamanStrategy. Moved the Weapon Imbue to the NonCombatShamanStrategy. Moved the AoE spells to GenericShamanStrategy, under the AoE strategy there. Added the use of Stoneclaw totem, as well as Earth Shock Execute. Changed the use of Thunderstorm from medium mana to high mana, so it can be used more often in longer fights. Moved the individual casting of totems to the totem strategies. Added the use of Call of the Elements.
src\strategy\shaman\EnhancementShamanStrategy.cpp/EnhancementShamanStrategy.h - Renamed from MeleeShamanStrategy. Moved the totem passthroughs to GenericShamanStrategy. Refined the priorities in the default actions and triggers to closer match guides online. Moved the weapon imbues to the non-combat strategy. Moved the individual casting of totems to the totem strategies. Moved the AoE spells to the AoE strategy in GenericShamanStrategy. Added the use of Call of the Elements (while in melee range) and Spirit Walk.
src\strategy\shaman\GenericShamanStrategy.cpp/GenericShamanStrategy.h - Moved weapon imbue passthroughs to non-combat. Set up all totem passthroughs here so lower level shamans could function well. Set up a boost strategy for heroism/bloodlust/fire elemental totem. Set up an AoE strategy for Elemental/Enhancement. Cleaned up tablature of the code. Moved the Healer DPS strategy to the RestoShamanStrategy. Added a medium mana trigger so they can use more mana potions in longer fights.
src\strategy\shaman\HealShamanStrategy.cpp/HealShamanStrategy.h - Renamed to RestoShamanStrategy.
src\strategy\shaman\MeleeShamanStrategy.cpp/MeleeShamanStrategy.h - Renamed to EnhancementShamanStrategy.
src\strategy\shaman\RestoShamanStrategy.cpp/RestoShamanStrategy.h - Renamed from HealShamanStrategy. Moved weapon imbue to non-combat strategy. Moved the individual casting of totems to the totem strategies (except mana tide totem). Added in Healer DPS from genericshamanstrategy. Added in use of Stoneclaw totem and Call of the Elements.
src\strategy\shaman\ShamanActions.cpp/ShamanActions.h - Organized the actions by type. Removed the TTL check in the totem action and Flame Shock. Added logic in the Stoneclaw totem to only be used when not in a group. Added logic on LavaBurst Action to only be used when the target has flame shock debuff from the caster. Added custom logic for casting Spirit Walk (no code exists in AC/Playerbots to make a guardian cast a spell). Added in the "SetXTotemAction"s, which set a totem to the highest rank of the spell in the totem bar.
src\strategy\shaman\ShamanAiObjectContext.cpp/ShamanAiObjectContext.h - Cleaned up strategies, triggers, and actions as a whole. Renamed melee, heal, and caster to ele, enh, and resto. Changed the "totems" strategy to individualized elemental totem strategies.
src\strategy\shaman\ShamanNonCombatStrategy.cpp/ShamanNonCombatStrategy.cpp - Moved weapon imbues here. Cleaned up tablature. Added the Totemic Recall spell.
src\strategy\shaman\ShamanTriggers.cpp/ShamanTriggers.h - Removed the commented out section. Added triggers + logic for:
EarthShockExecute
Call of the Elements
Totemic Recall
"SetXTotemTrigger"
Spirit Walk
Elemental Mastery
No Earth/Fire/Water/Air Totem
src\strategy\shaman\TotemsShamanStrategy.h - Master hub for all defined constants and arrays used in other files, as well as names all of the totem strategy types.
src\strategy\shaman\TotemsShamanStrategy.cpp - Each strategy has a "set x totem" to change the bar totem, as well as a "no x totem" trigger with a corresponding "cast x totem". NOTE: some totems aren't learned by level 30 when a shaman learns call of the elements, so I had to set an alternative for those (Totem of Wrath, Wrath of Air, Cleansing Totem, and Windfury). Testing showed me that this is necessary - without this, the trigger would just fire over and over, and the shaman would recast the same totem over and over.
Scope of Testing:
8/5/25 (2 hours): Began work on the Shaman class. Cleaned up actions and triggers.
8/6/25 (3.5 hours): Tried what felt like everything to get the totem bar changed. Seems impossible to change a client-side thing with cpp.
8/9/25(3 hours): Initial totem strategies created. Through the help of Revision, I was able make a functioning action that would change the totem bar's spell. The spells are stored in the database! I was able to get a strategy of each type working, and Call of the Elements was casting the correct totems.
8/10/25 (3.5 hours): Testing on Noth the Plaguebringer. The elemental shaman's dps was low - I noticed that the shaman was casting lava burst regardless of if the target had flame shock. I fixed this. I also noticed that the enhancement shaman was casting call of the elements at max range, resulting in the magma totem never doing damage. Changed so enhance would only cast Call of the Elements in melee range. Also, had to add "cast x totem" spells to each strategy, so magma totem would recast once expired (as well as other totems).
8/11/25 - (2.5 hours)Did a full run of Naxxramas. Enhancement did crazy dps for the gear it had. Elemental was consistently placing between 14-18th place of 18 dps. I noticed that totemic recall was messing up with the KT encounter, and had to look in the AC repo for logic to check if a boss encounter is active. Fixed it, and shamans weren't spamming totemic recall between packs. I wonder what I can do to fix elemental?
8/12/25 (1.5 hours) - Added a check in lava burst's isuseful to ensure flame shock was on the target. DPS went up a little bit. Also, made chain lightning the highest spell priority - DPS went up quite a bit after that. It is quite costly, but it is worth it - even on one target, but especially 3. Added spirit walk for enhancement.
8/13/25 - (5 hours) Tested on level 1-10 level, 15, 25, 35, 45, and 55 instances: I had a ton of bugs at level 35. Essentially, the shaman was standing there casting the totems it didn't know (wrath, cleansing, wrath of air). I had to add some checks and passthroughs for it to run smoothly again. Elemental was still doing just okay dps at lower levels, while enhancement was CRUSHING it. The fact that enhancement has the fire glyph from 15 on now is crazy.
8/14/2025 (2 hours) - Tested in 65/75 instances, as well as little bit of ulduar. I am pretty happy with the state of shamans now, they are consistently performing highly (enhance top 5, elemental top 8 in ulduar). Tweaked elemental mastery to cause lava burst to be instant cast, not chain lightning. This improved the DPS of elemental shamans right out of the gate.
Total testing - 23 hours

Hello everyone,
I am on a quest to make bot's pets completely functional, focuses on solving issues #1351 , #1230 , and #1137 . This PR achieves the following:
1. Changes the current "pet" chat command to "tame", which is more intuitive that only hunters can use it. The modes are "tame name (name)", "tame id (id)", "tame family (family)", "tame rename (new name)", and "tame abandon". Tame abandon is new - it simply abandons the current pet. Also, now, if you type in "tame family" by itself, it will list the available families. See pictures below for examples.
2. Added new "pet" chat command, with the following modes: "pet passive", "pet aggressive", "pet defensive", "pet stance" (shows current pet stance), "pet attack", "pet follow", and "pet stay". Previously, the pet's stance was not changeable, and there were some less than desired effects from summonable pets - see the issues above.
3. New config option: AiPlayerbot.DefaultPetStance, which changes the stance that all bot's pets are summoned as. This makes sure when feral spirits or treants are summoned by shamans and druids, they are immediately set to this configured stance. Set as 1 as default, which is defensive. (0 = Passive, 1 = Defensive, 2 = Aggressive)
4. New config option: AiPlayerbot.PetChatCommandDebug, which enables debug messages for the "pet" chat command. By default it is set to 0, which is disabled, but if you would like to see when pet's stances are changed, or when you tell the pet to attack/follow/stay, and when pet spells are auto-toggled, this is an option. I made this for myself mainly to test the command - if anyone notices any wierd pet behavior, this will be an option to help them report it as well.
5. Modified FollowActions to not constantly execute the petfollow action, overriding any stay or attack commands issued.
6. Modified GenericActions to have TogglePetSpellAutoCastAction optionally log when spells are toggled based on AiPlayerbot.PetChatCommandDebug.
7. Modified PetAttackAction to not attack if the pet is set to passive, and not override the pet's stance to passive every time it was executed.
8. Modified CombatStrategy.cpp to not constantly issue the petattack command, respecting the "pet stay" and "pet follow" commands. Pets will still automatically attack the enemy if set to aggressive or defensive.
9. Warlocks, Priests, Hunters, Shamans, Mages, Druids, and DKs (all classes that have summons): Added a "new pet" trigger that executes the "set pet stance" action. The "new pet" trigger happens only once, upon summoning a pet. It sets the pet's stance from AiPlayerbot.DefaultPetStance's value.
Hello everyone,
Back again with another class overhaul. Here is a list of what changes have been made:
1. Consolidated the AoE strategies into "aoe". For light aoe (2+ enemies) the mage will use Cone of Cold (frost)/Arcane Explosion (Arcane)/Multi-Dot with Living Bomb (Fire/Frostfire). For medium aoe (3+ enemies) they will use Flamestrike -> Blizzard. Also, the mage will automatically cancel channeling their blizzard if there is less than 2 enemies around. This is huge, since the mage would often stand there and finish their entire channel during a boss fight after the adds died.
2. Organized actions, triggers, and the aiobjectcontext
3. Enabled Deep Freeze to be casted on bosses regardless of their immune status. Big benefit for frost dps on boss fights.
4. Slight tweaks in the conf so Arcane gets Arcane Barrage and Frostfire gets 2/2 Firestarter
5. Streamlined Arcane DPS to use Missile Barrage proc when at 4 stacks of Arcane Blast
5. Streamlined Fire/Frostfire DPS to keep Improved Scorch active (5% spell crit) unless there is a debuff of equal type
6. Added "firestarter" strategy, that utilizes the Fire talent Firestarter better. The mage will multi-dot Living Bomb while running towards melee, and cast Dragon's Breath -> instant cast Flamestrike -> Blast Wave -> instant cast Flamestrike -> Blizzard for bonkers damage. Disabled by default - not everyone wants their mages running into melee. Enable by typing "co +firestarter" on fire and frostfire mages.
7. Streamlined Frost DPS by finally adding support for Cold Snap for mages. It will proc when both Icy Veins and Deep Freeze are on cooldown. There is an exception to this - if the mage is level 30-59, it will not check for Deep Freeze - only Icy Veins.
8. Added Conjure Mana Gem support in the generic non-combat strategy and Use Mana Gem support in the generic combat strategy. This might be the biggest benefit of the overhaul - the gem has a 90 second cooldown, not shared with mana potions. It really prevents the mage from gassing out in longer fights. And the mana gem has 3 charges!
9. Added Mana Shield ability, which triggers on low health.
10. Changed Mirror Image from a boost ability to an anti-threat tool. Not many people know this, but it's best use in PvE is it's anti-threat modifier: "Mod Total Threat - Temporary Value: -90000000". It also doesn't do good damage, and is essentially used best as a pre-pull spell. But until the mages know how to react to a pull-timer, it's going to be used to reduce threat.
Let me know what y'all think!
Hello everybody,
I saw that the hunter class had one strategy for all 3 specs, and decided to create specialized strategies for each one. Here is a list of the changes:
conf\playerbots.conf.dist: Redid the talent trees and glyphs slightly, for more consistent dps
src\AiFactory.cpp: Changed the default strategies assigned for each spec.
src\strategy\hunter\BeastMasteryHunterStrategy.cpp and src\strategy\hunter\BeastMasteryHunterStrategy.h: Strategy for BM hunters. Includes all of the original logic from DpsHunterStrategy, with the addition of kill command, bestial wrath, and intimidation.
src\strategy\hunter\DpsHunterStrategy.cpp and src\strategy\hunter\DpsHunterStrategy.h: Old Dps strategy used for all 3 specs - removed.
src\strategy\hunter\GenericHunterStrategy.cpp and src\strategy\hunter\GenericHunterStrategy.h: Tidied up code, added Dragonhawk passthrough to hawk, moved rapid fire to inittriggers for generichunterstrategy and increased its priority (it is still a boost trigger, so it will function the same).
src\strategy\hunter\HunterActions.cpp:
Added isuseful check for aspect of the hawk, to ensure it is never cast if the bot knows aspect of the dragonhawk.
Added isuseful check for arcane shot to never use it after explosive shot is learned (so the hunter can use it as it levels survival, but drops it after that). Also added a check for arcane shot, so it won't use it above 435 armor pen rating (steady shot is superior after this arp).
Added isuseful check for immolation trap so it won't use it after explosive shot is learned.
src\strategy\hunter\HunterActions.h:
General cleanup/alignment of actions based on type.
Added TTL checks to all DoTs and debuffs - hunters weren't using hunter's mark, serpent sting, black arrow, explosive shot on enemies that it thought would die too soon.
Black Arrow - added a strategy check here as well so the bot won't use it at all if trap weave is enabled. There was already a check in the trigger, but it was still getting cast, so I added this check.
Explosive Shot Rank 4, 3, 2, 1 actions- Added these so the hunter can downrank explosive shot dynamically based on the level when lock and load procs. So if the hunter is level 70, and a lock and load proc happens, it will fire rank 2 - rank 1 - rank 2, similar to how the level 80 version will fire 4-3-4.
src\strategy\hunter\HunterAiObjectContext.cpp:
Added strategy support for bm, mm, and surv (and their aoes)
Added trigger support for kill command, explosive shot, lock and load, silencing shot (as an spellcasting interrupt), and intimidation
Added action support for the 4 ranks of explosive shot and intimidation.
src\strategy\hunter\HunterTriggers.cpp: Kill command was completely non-functional because there was no buff trigger associated with it. Adding this will correct that, and the hunter will use kill command.
src\strategy\hunter\HunterTriggers.h: Added Kill command, silencing shot, intimidation, lock and load, and explosive shot triggers.
src\strategy\hunter\MarksmanshipHunterStrategy.cpp and src\strategy\hunter\MarksmanshipHunterStrategy.h: Strategy for MM hunters. Includes all of the original logic from DpsHunterStrategy, with the addition of kill command, silencing shot, chimera shot, and aimed shot.
src\strategy\hunter\SurvivalHunterStrategy.cpp and src\strategy\hunter\SurvivalHunterStrategy.h: Strategy for Survival hunters. Includes all of the original logic from DpsHunterStrategy, with the addition of kill command, explosive shot, black arrow, aimed shot, lock and load triggers + downranking explosive shot.
This PR aims to achieve 4 main things:
1. Manual Curse Strategies - Each curse has it's own toggleable combat strategy, with curse of agony being the default for affliction and demonology, and curse of the elements being default for destro. The other curses that are available are curse of exhaustion (if specced for it), curse of doom, curse of weakness, and curse of tongues (6 total). You can add these by typing "co +curse of weakness", or similar. Note: Curses are part of the WarlockCurseStrategyFactoryInternal(), so there can only be one active.
2. Firestone/Spellstone Non-Combat Strategies - Players requested to me that they can decide if they want to use a spellstone or firestone for their weapon enchant, so I added them as non-combat strategies. Spellstone is the default for affliction and demonology, firestone is the default for destro. To add these, type "nc +firestone" or similar.
3. Soul Shard Replenishment - I noticed after hours of running a server (15+ hours) that altbots and rndbots would only cast imp and not use their soul shards. This is because they were actually running out of soul shards, without the ability to maintain themselves accordingly. I added a trigger (no soul shard) and action (create soul shard) that triggers if they are out of soul shards, creating only 1 soul shard (to not clog up the inventory). This way, you should never have a warlock using the wrong pet, or failing to cast shadowburn, failing to create soulstone/spellstone/firestone/healthstone, or failing to cast soul shatter.
4. Tidying up the code -
I removed the built-in curse code from the DPS strategies, and migrated it to the manual curse strategies.
I clumped the curse triggers and actions together in the associated files.
I added logic for Curse of Weakness to check for conflicting debuffs.
I moved the summoning strategies and curse strategies to their own strategy factories - WarlockPetStrategyFactoryInternal, and WarlockCurseStrategyFactoryInternal. This way they can only have one curse and one pet strategy active at once. I also renamed the "NonCombatBuffStrategyFactoryInternal" to "WarlockSoulstoneStrategyFactoryInternal", which was more accurate.
I changed a single talent point in the Affliction Warlock PVE spec, taking one from destructive reach and adding it into nightfall for those sweet, sweet free shadowbolts.
I added "ss self" as the default non-combat soulstone strategy, as before, they didn't have one assigned. The player can still of course remove that NC strategy and apply another, such as "ss master", "ss tank", or "ss healer".
PVP Talents and InitGlyph changes
This PR adds 3 pvp specs for each class, as well as their glyphs. It also adds exceptions to the Initglyph function, based on pvp-based talents for each class.
conf\playerbots.conf.dist - Adds 3 pvp specs/glyphs for each class.
src\factory\PlayerbotFactory.cpp - InitGlyph in its current form is unable to correctly assign glyphs on specindexes (or tab) over 2 without an exception. That is why this exception already exists in the code:
if (bot->getClass() == CLASS_DRUID && tab == DRUID_TAB_FERAL && bot->GetLevel() >= 20 && !bot->HasAura(16931))
tab = 3;
This checks if the class is a Druid, if the tab is feral, if they are equal to or above level 20, and they don't have the Thick Hide talent. If all of these are true, then it manually sets the tab = 3. I first discovered this when I noticed that my frostfire mage would never be assigned the correct glyphs in the config - aka glyph of frosfire. It is because the frostfire spec is tab = 3, and no such logic exists. When I started adding the additional pvp specs, I noticed that they never would assign the correct glyphs. I had to add an exception to all pvp specs, and have them check for certain pvp related talents to correlate the tab manually. This is because tab is derived from the AiFactory::GetPlayerSpecTab(bot); function. The only possible tab values from this function are 0, 1, and 2.
**TLDR: Added code to support Frostfire Mage, dual-aura Blood DK, and all the PvP specs for correct glyph assignment.**
src\strategy\actions\ChangeTalentsAction.cpp: When you pick a spec with "talents spec" function, such as "talents spec arms pve", it will now correctly assign glyphs without the player having to execute the maintenance command. Setting the InitGlyphs to false removes prior glyphs.
src\strategy\actions\TrainerAction.cpp - Changed factory.InitGlyphs(true); to factory.InitGlyphs(false);. This makes it so all prior glyphs that were assigned are correctly deleted. I first noticed this when switching between specs and using the maintenance command - I had to login to the bot and manually delete the old glyphs, in order for the maintenance command to assign the new, correct glyphs.
* Corrections to Vanilla max iLevels
This reverts commit 681ec5c5b583dc935d60172f1790c6635eaef9ab, reversing
changes made to f4e6b1644ff2c3fa4b5f97a5b4d7cea14e352263.
* Corrections to Vanilla max iLevels
This is a complete overhaul of the warlock class, making 3 new strategies (affliction, demonology, and destruction), as well as finishing the warlock tank strategy (shadow ward and searing pain). It also includes a soulstone fix, where the bots can change who they soulstone based on the non-combat strategies you set for them. It also includes a self-resurrect action and trigger that allows the bots to resurrect using a soulstone or reincarnation. Many other skills were added to finish out the warlock skillset.
* ICC PP WIP
WIP
* added mutated plague for PP
* BPC added (kinetic and boss targeting need to be done by player)
OT collects dark nucles, bots spread on vortex and other stuff they do ok on their own.
Tested only on 10NM, should work on 25NM
* Tank pos. correction
* BQL, ranged spread, link, flame, bite, tanking tested 10NM
to do (better fire spread, hc tacti, melee spread when in air)
* LDW improved
improved shadow logic, ranged spread for easier shadow handling
* dbs update, fixed teleporting
Bots should only go and teleport to the mage that is actually below zero now
* DBS ranged fix
Ranged should spread more quickly and freak out less
* Festergut && DBS
fixed ranged spread (both)
fixed spore logic (fester)
* Rotface fix
Improved big ooze tanking (static pos, todo kiting)
ooze explosion spread mechanic fix
ooze pool fix
Player needs to mark rotface with skull icon, oterwise bots try to attack oozes
* BQL fixed for 25nm
todo: better melee logic in air phase, better melee flame spread
* VDW, Sister Svalna, Sindy update
Sister Svalna, bots can pickup spears and throw at svalna when she has shield up
VDW added healer strats to use portal and heal boss (atm druids are for raid healing only, so use druide + any other healer, ideally player should be healer)
todo (focus on supressers, add healer rotations, atm they use quickest spell they can)
Sindragosa
Added tank boss manipulation (boss orientation and position)
bots detect (buffet, unchained magic and chilled to the bone and act accordingly)
bots detect frost beacon move to safe spot and los frost bombs around them, while dpsing tombs (todo stop dps if only one tomb is left, if we have frost bombs around, not a big deal atm since in nm they dont one shot)
Last phase bots los behind tomb to loose buffet, tanks swap when they have hi buffet count.
Player should tell bots with skull rti if they should kill tomb or focus boss.
todo (dynamic tomb los in last phase so that healers can see tank but also hide behind tomb to break los from boss)
Removed some debug messages, improved LM spike action (nearest bots also try to help kill it)
Improved Lady Deathwshiper shade action (only targeted bots will run away instead of every bot that is near it)
dbs improved tank switch
I recommend to use 3 healers (just to be safe) and 2 paladin tanks (warr seems to struggle with agro) in 10 man
25 man 6-7 healers (just to be safe) Since most of the bosses are about survival and not dps
* LK Update (doable)
LK added
Improved tank switching for all bosses
Fixed PP gas cloud kiting
Malleable goo todo (dont know how to detect it since its not object or npc) just summon ranged bots to safe position to bypass
BPC fixed OT sometimes not tanking kele
kinectic bombs todo (for now player should take care of them)
Sindragosa fixed rare case when she is in air phase but tombs went to last phase position
LK
Bots can handle necrotic
Bots can handle adds
Bots should focus valkyre that actually grabbed someone (if unlucky and player just use attack command and summon bots to you if they are far away from you) if they grab bots you can either summon to make them useless or let bots cc them and do it legit way.
Defile should be watched by player and once it was cast just summon bots to you
Vile spirits for some reason go to the ground and get nuked by bots aoe spells so there is not much to be done
**Player needs to be alive the whole LK fight since you will have to watch out for frost spehers (sometimes bots ignore them), summon bots when defile is up and summon ranged bots if they get stuck near shambling or raging spirits since their aoe will wipe you)
all in all LK is doable both 10 and 25nm, player needs to have knowledge of lk fight and needs to know how to use multibot addon and make macros for eg summoning or commanding groups of bots or individual bots)
Dont forget frost/shadow/nature resist auras in whole ICC since it will help alot
I have done whole icc 10 and 25 with 2 pala tanks, 2/5 heals and rest dps, if you use +1 or +2 heals it should be easier (since I was testing I did close to 0 dmg in fights same with heals)
* fixed changes made by mistake
fix
* Malleable fix (simple spread mechanic)
Malleable mechanic added (simple spread for now)
Gas cloud fixed (Bots sometimes got stuck between puddle and kite location)
* Defile Update
Bots detect and avoid defile (they struggle to find a way back to the boss around it tho, use summon to help them)
Melee bots should be able to stand behind/to the flank of shambling/spirits
* GS fixed bots not returning to their ship for A and H
Bots will return back to ship after killing mage
* PP gas cloud kiting improved
PP gas cloud kiting improved
* BPC targeting fixed
Bots will mark valid prince with skull RTI now
* BQL added melee spread in air pahse
BQL added melee spread
* VDW healing rotation improved
Healers will now use strong heals and hots
* Fixed Necrotic Plague
Fixed issue with Necrotic where it would get dispelled too soon, or would not get dispelled at all
* LK Update
Refined defile logic
Added 3 points for ranged and melee in winter phase (east, west, south when facing throne)
fixed frost spheres targeting (hunter will focus them)
Atm bots will reset z axis if they fall underground or if they get teleported by lk
Better positioning in 1st phase
* 10HC update until PP
LK defile improved for 10nm (bots sometimes stood 2 close to defile until it grew few times)
Improved rotface for HC
PP remade for 10HC.
Gas cloud is now properly kited
Fixed a rare case of server crash when there were ooze and gas cloud alive at same time.
Bots will move around puddles according to its size now.
Bots that get unboud plague will simply move away from raid and die thus loosing it from raid.
Volatile ooze improved stacking.
Fixed ranged sometimes glitching thru walls when spreading out from other members.
10HC PP is now doable but its hard without summoning (summoning break gascloud and ooze targets so its easier to do). You need to watch boss so you dont phase 2 soon otherwise you will get 2x ooze and cloud which is almoust always a wipe. If abo is not played near perfection bots will struggle with oozes and gas clouds if they are not slowed on time. Always save energy to slow gas cloud since it will wipe the group if it reach its target.
Bots will sometimes stand in puddle, just command them to move and they will figure out what to do.
todo (proper malleable handling)
* Up until Sindy 10HC
BPC added shadow prison handling, bots stop moving if more than 12 stack, tanks more than 18
Improved spreading logic
VDW
fixed issue where bots in portal wold move at half speed compared to real player
* fixed accidental change
* LK 10HC update
Added Shadow trap logic
(if they stand in it, not a big deal since bots wont get yeeted only players will)
When harvest soul, only player will be in another dimension (you must survive)
**Sindy and LK can be done, but I must dissapoint purist, at my skill level I could not achieve to do HC without using summon or other "cheat" bot functions.
Other bosses are all doable now in 10hc
* ICC fixes GS, PP; BQL, SINDY
Minor fixes, bite action improved
* ICC improve Sindy
Bots will now choose non beacon position based on difficulty, 10/25
* ICC fixed missing A/H buff
Fixed missing ICC buff for A and H
Buff will only be present when logged on and in ICC, once any bot or player leave ICC the buff is gone to prevent abuse.
This will make ICC easier now and with recent DPS update and movement improvement bots will now actully do decent dps and even greater healing.
Ally buff

Horde buff
https://www.wowhead.com/wotlk/spell=73822/hellscreams-warsong
* revert last change
revert buff
* ICC improve Rotface
Bots will now mark Rotface with skull icon, which will make them focus boss instead of oozes automatically
* ICC Festergut 10 Man fix
There was a rare case in 10 Man when 2 tanks would get spores which made them both stack at melee spot. Now the code will check if any of the spored player is main tank, if it is, it will stay at melee and other spores will go at ranged spot since off tank doesn't really need to stand near main tank all the time.
* ICC BPC major update, fix and improve
Fixed main tank sometimes not tanking both bosses (vala and talda)
Improved marking of current prince
Empowered vortex: bots will now spread out when it is being cast, instead of always spreading(ranged). This will make melee also spread better now since bots will calculate and move to optimal positions.
Added Kinetic bomb handling.
Hunters will take care of bombs, if no hunter is present then any ranged dps will take care of kinetic bombs.
* ICC BQL/VDW major update + minor fixes/improvements
LDW improved spreading for ranged, tanks will move boss in the middle of the room now when shield is depleted which will make bots bug less around pillars
GS Assist tank will not teleport to enemy ship and will keep tanking adds on our ship now
DBS ranged spread improved (they will calcualte spot for each bot and stick with it reducing movment to minimum), fixed bug where in 25 man ranged bots would go behind walls, making them unable to dps boss, improved rune of blood tanking
Festergut ranged spread improved (they will calcualte spot for each bot and stick with it reducing movment to minimum)
BQL Melee spread improved, bite logic improved, added swarming shadows logic (not perfect but at least it wont be all over the room anymore), Tanks will properly handle blood mirror now
VDW boss and raid healers will be automatically assinged depening by number of healers(if more than 3 healers in group, 2 will focus on raid and others will heal boss, otherwise one healer will heal raid). Druid will be assigned to raid healing if no druid present then some other random heal class. Added rotations for druid healers if they end up healing the boss. Raid healers will not use portals anymore. Healers will come to the ground now after using portals (they were stuck in air)
* ICC LK minor update
PP
Removed pre stacking for ranged when volatile ooze spawn (they will kill it much faster now and only stack if someone actually gets targeted by ooze)
LK
Hunters will use trnaq shot to remove enrage from shamblings
Improved valkyr cc
Minimized ping-ponging during winter phase
* ICC minor Sindy improve
Reduced position tolerances and forced movement for beacon and non beacon positions which will make bots move to spot that they actually need to be at instead of randomly running to sindragosa or beaconed players.
* ICC minor update
GS
Bots will mark mage with skull rti
Rotface
Fixed bots glitching thru walls and floors (added check if position is valid before moving)
PP
Bots will mark volatile ooze with skull rti now which will help them focus it and kill asap (usefull for heroic when both volatile ooze and gas cloud are present at the same time)
VDW
Added default group position in the middle if the room so that bots don't spread out too much which will force them to focus supressers more
Fixed Boss healers not keeping themself alive when low on HP
* ICC LK minor update
Commented out z axis bypass since it was fixed with recent core updates.
Bots no longer fall thru buggy platforms so its no longer needed which in return makes valkyrs works as they should.
* ICC LM & LDW Improved
LM
Removed Attack Action since it was buggy and replaced it with RTI. (Improved DPS)
Simplified trigger for spike action, since attack logic is handled by skull RTI now.
Bots (tanks) will mark spikes with skull RTI, which will make bots instantly switch to Spike targets. If no spike is present, the boss will be marked.
Added logic that will make non-tank bots move away from LM to a fixed position behind LM if they happened to be in front of LM (No more insta kills with cleave).
If LM is casting Bone Storm, bots will ignore the above logic and do max dps.
LDW
Removed Attack Action since it was buggy and replaced it with RTI. (Improved DPS)
Bots (tanks) will mark adds with skull RTI, which will make bots instantly switch to adds targets. If no spike is present, the boss will be marked, which will help with keeping allies alive when they get mind controlled by LDW.
Moved 2nd phase position deeper into the room and reduced boss hp trigger to 95%, which will keep tanks where they should be during 1st phase (sometimes the boss dropped below 98% and tanks would ping pong around the room).
Ranged bots will now spread closer to each other now and will ignore spreading if they are 2 far or 2 close to the boss so they can properly reposition.
These changes should also fix recent bugs with bots not casting/standing still on LM and LDW.
* ICC DBS Improve
Replaced attack action with RTI. (Improved DPS)
Ranged bots will move away from blood beast if targeted by it now.
* ICC Sindragosa and LK Improve
Sindragosa
Improved tomb los for frost bombs. Bots will now mark tomb with moon rti to avoid killing it too soon. (If they still attack the tomb, simply reset and after bombs are over, simply attack the tomb to kill or mark with a skull.)
Main Tank will reset mystic buffet stacks now to avoid tank swapping since it's really unreliable which will make sindy less frustrating to kill (other bots will need to do mechanics properly by hiding behind ice tombs).
LK
Necrotic plague action
Bots will now check before moving to the Shambling if they are in front of the Shambling to avoid getting one shoted by shockwave.
Improved multiplier, which will now properly handle dispelling of necrotic plague.
Winter phase action
Bots will properly move behind adds to avoid getting one shoted by shamblings or raging spirits.
If there is a hunter in the grouphunter will focus on spheres; if not, any ranged DPS will focus spheres.
Adds action
Bots will now be in proper positions during the 1st phase, and when the off tank is done collecting shamblings, it will move away from the group.
Bots (non-tanks) will move behind the shambling if they are in front of it to avoid getting one shoted in the 1st phase.
Restored action for checking if bots are at ground level, since they were still sometimes glitching through the floor (valkrys will be able to carry bots and drop them off the edge if not killed in time).
Improved defile calculations for 10 man and 25 man raids since defile was growing differently for 10 and 25, which would make bots in 25 man move very far away from somewhat small defile puddle.
Bots will now properly CC any valkyr that wasn't CC'd, and they won't freak out anymore if multiple valkyrs are present. (They can't tell which valkyr is holding bots/ players, so we should command an attack on valkyrs that are holding someone.)
Bots will now run away from Vile Spirits if they are targeted by them during the last phase.
* ICC 25HC ldw shades fix
Fixed bots could not detect shade if there were multiple present
* ICC trigger optimization
Optimized trigger and action for:
KineticBomb
OozePuddle
* ICC LK Improve
Improved Shadow Trap, Winter phase and 1st phase.
Bots will now have fixed positions for 1st phase if no shadow trap is present.
Tanks will now take care of taunting adds during winter phase. (Assist tank will collect adds and bring them to main tank, main tank will take over the adds so we have minimal chance of adds rotating towards the raid)
Fixed shadow trap detection.
* ToC dungeon update
Added TOC dungeon strategies for 1st encounter.
Other encounters are pretty easy and straightforward so they do not require strategies. They can be all done with follow, reset, summon, attack, skull icon etc...
Bots (A/H) will automatically check if they have lance equiped or in inventory. If they don't have lance they will pick it up from nearest lance stand and equip it.
Bots will mount nearest mount if they have lance equipped.
Once mounted they will keep Defend aura at 3 stacks (top priority).
In fight they will cast charge if more than 5f away, they will cast shield break if target has Defended aura active and they will use Thrust if they cant use anything else.
In short they will melt any target and enemies wont stand a chance keeping their defend aura up.
Once champions are defeated bot will automatically equip best weapon they have in inventory (weapon that was swapped with lance)
* ICC minor update
LM
Bots will now move in smaller increments to get behind boss
They will still move towards fixed position, but as soon they are not in front of boss, they will stop moving and do other actions.
GS
Fixed cannon trigger, now will return true if cannon is 100f from bots.
It used to return true all the time.
* ToC added Eadric strat
bots will look away during radiance cast
* ICC LK minor fix
fixed crash in icclichkingsaddsaction
* ICC GS fix
While encountering edge case when playing horde, the logic was to detect mages, there are usually 2 around, but the longer the fight last the bigger the chance that cannons would kill all the mages thus once we kill the mage that was casting deep freeze bots could not execute action that would return them back to the ship, so the boss had the time to nuke them one by one.
Even tanks have hard time surviving the boss.
I have changed it now (both A/H) so that we keep track of the enemy boss (which is hard if not impossible to kill as main trigger) and we are keeping track of the mage that is actually casting deep freeze, we mark it with skull, and now as soon the mage is dead, bots will remove the mark so there is 0 confusion about what to do next on their side, and they will come back asap.
* FoS Improved and fixed, ICC LM, LDW and PP updates
FoS
Improved/fixed triggers, Improved/fixed actions.
Bronjahm
Tank will properly kite soul fragment around the room
Replaced attack action with skull rti to focus soul fragments
Non-tank bots will only try to stay within 10f of boss only once we enter last phase, tank will be in the middle of the room if it is not kiting soul fragment
Devourer of Souls
DPS bots will stop dps if boss is casting mirrored soul
Laser can be easily avoided with follow/summon
ICC
LM
Tank will only move to tank position if it actually have the agro, it used to move there without agro and few of the bots would get killed since tank was unable to reach bot
LDW
Fixed edge case where tank would be target of shade and it would be unable to move away it from it due to tank position restrictions, now if Tank is targeted by shade it will be able to move and run away from it (in hc this could cause wipes since explosion is aoe + tons of dmg)
PP
When oozes spawn, tank will move towards green ooze spawn to keep raid near green ooze (faster kill) and far away from gas cloud (better chance to kill if abo didn't manage to slow it)
* PoS Strategies
Ick and Krick
All boss mechanics implemented
Forgemaster Garfrost
Easily doable with follow/stay/summon
Scourgelord Tyrannus
Ranged bots will spread so that they all don't get frozen by dragon
They avoid everything else on their own
* ICC Refactor, All bosses improved NM and HC
Major Update
* Update playerbots.conf.dist
* Do not disband alt bots group when master goes away
* This update makes the original PR functionality optional, which prevents alternative bots (random bots) from automatically leaving the group when the master leaves.
* Fix
