Addon Beta test - LootAssist - speeds up looting

[Jabberie]

Anyone want to help me test this/give feedback/kill it with fire?

https://mods.curse.com/addons/wow/255491-lootassist (https://mods.curse.com/addons/wow/255491-lootassist)

My addon-fu is weak, still learning. I've been using it myself for about a month now. Don't think it's broken anything.

Any and all feedback welcomed.

TIA

Is this any different than Jamba Advanced Loot?

"Herbing the same node on 5 characters and all 5 getting their materials immediately"

I thought the delay was a Blizz thing? I always get all of my herbs so long as I don't try to walk away from the herb too soon. I don't have any issues using Jamba Advanced Loot it's awesome.

Edit, similar yes. Slghtly quicker, maybe.

Jamba loots everything for me np..

[MiRai]

There are people out there who don't use JAMBA, and could easily find this add-on to be useful. 1838

[CMKCot]

yeah, i don't use Jamba looting.

problem is, im already too used to mashing my loot-a-rang macro :p even when herbing. my herbing/mining alts cant use the rang, so they just error msg spam, they still loot everything.

i will give it a try to see if i get used to the IWT part.

I've found IWM (interact with mouseover) is much better than IWT for herbing/mining, if you have CTM always on. I find I don't have to line myself up so perfectly and just can save the mouse around while hitting it. :)

Here is the original post (http://www.dual-boxing.com/threads/48194-Jamba-Extension-for-choosing-which-character-loots-Motes-of-Harmony-(or-any-item)) when Schilm created the Jamba Extension for advanced looting. It was later integrated into Jamba, so you may be able to leverage it a bit for your stand-alone add-on.

I'm sure lots of people would benefit from having a stand alone version. As for myself, I use Jamba for a variety of reasons and Advanced loot is a must for current herbing/mining looting. I'll give your add-on a try and see how it compares.

Hopefully this isn't already obvious, but you can configure your multiboxing software to only enable CTM while you're pressing the IWT button. This would let you broadcast mouse right-clicks without worrying about run-offs.

Example:

* IWT button -> on PRESS:
** Enable CTM on slaves
** Send IWT key to everyone
* IWT button -> on RELEASE:
** Disable CTM on everyone

I'm pretty sure all of the competent software can do this, including HKN, ISBoxer, etc.

I know but I use that same IWT for everything. CBA'd making something special out of it.

Guys, left-click the nodes. Even with CTM active, the characters will not run off if you miss a click.

I always broadcast left-click with Shift key to prevent auto-loot and when each character have their loot windows up, I just broadcast spam more left-clicks on the window first item. 10 characters loots a node within 3 seconds, including casting time on mining/herbing.

I'm trying out twitch (http://twitch.tv/teambeeq) tonight (starting around 9pm EET), 10 DHs or mages doing WQs and showing my way on multiharvesting, stay tuned.

[Bzyta]

Here is some stream of mine when i was gathering: https://www.twitch.tv/bzyta/v/106386272

Using Jamba Advanced Loot and just broadcasting mouse left/right click or Interact With Mouseover keybind (while having broadcasting enabled and simply moseover the herb to gather it)

[Jabberie]

Left click is an option you can have on. It's a relatively new feature. it's a PITA if you've played for a long time.

[Ellay]

Tried to watch the video Bzyta, didn't work. I use left click though as well, was more interested with your route. Do you have rank 3 aethril? can't get it to pop

[Bzyta]

Yes I have it on all 8 characters, took more than 40 hours to get it on all. Felwort rank 3 aswell =)) not sure about the video seems to be working for me.

[Ellay]

last derailment - whats your preferred herb to farm? I got rank 3 aethril now on 2 of 5, the proc rate is super bad. Did a test and took almost 80 nodes to see 1 proc.

[Dezeral]

There is an addon already out there that I think has the functionality you're looking for, Hot Loot. I've been using it while boosting in dungeons to collect cloth and items to DE. https://wow.curseforge.com/projects/hotloot

Description

HotLoot is an autoloot filter designed to streamline the looting process. This AddOn will allow you to automatically loot various items related to professions and quests.

This addon works fantastic, thanks for sharing. I no longer need to spam an IWT/CloseLoot hotkey.

I've found with my 5 herb/miners I much prefer the ores since you can loot the basilisks with all chars. I seem to get quite lucky on getting 2 basilisks at once on felslate which means over 100 felslate from one node :cool:. I don't seem to get as many doubles on leystone ore. Has anyone ever had 3 basilisks? Or 5 lol wonder what the odds of that are. I've had 3 foxes several times which is crazy running around trying to hoover them all up.

I've had that a few times too. I didn't get scared tho I just killed and looted it :D.

[mlesnews]

Just to confirm since I'm new to using the addon, both master and slave have to actually click on the dead mob individually to collect loot yes?

[Jabberie]

Yes, you need to interact with the mob on all characters to get loot. This addon helps resolve the issue of 2+ character interacting with the same item at the same time which would cause one of the slots to not get loot right away.

[Moorea]

did you try it on classic ? on bfa it's not needed anymore afaik
