Are DH bots a thing?

I remember seeing ele bots a while ago but nothing noteworthy in a long time.

The other day i had a dh who kept glimpsing my cc. Like with insane game sense/timing kind of thing. It was much more than a luck thing, which does happen sometimes if they’re using retreat for momentum or something.

I set him to focus to coil/fear some peels but couldnt land anything. Tried to shadowfury him = glimpse. Tried to coil when he was right on top of me = insta glimpse.

Is it possible he was just high off gfuel or would this be a bot. I recorded the round but havent watched it, im wondering if it was blaringdebt.

It’s a popular spec to bot because of its high damage output, easy rotation, control, and defensives. Any spec could be running a bot tho, but some work better with those programs.

Check out Supatease’s video of an obvious DH bot:

RAMPANT CHEATING INSANE BOTS (youtube.com)

Very interesting. I’ve seen a few, including a shadow priest bot today in 3s around 2500mmr.

Yeah. And if it was him i could understand some of the insane game sense. Some rando 1900 dh i have a hard time believing theyre shadowmelding / glimpsing cc with .1 seconds to react.

Ya no one is reacting to a coil from melee range, it’s either a lucky/skillful read/guess or something shady.

It was Pika. The DH mentioned in the OP was Pika.

I keep forgetting to dig through my clips. Howd you figure that out.

You mentioned it was Blaringdebt.

Pretty sure that it shows you the name of toons in shuffle. How are you wondering if it was him? Why mention it?

Because literally the only 3 options are

  1. luckiest dh alive
  2. bottingest dh alive
  3. tournament level player on a low mmr alt

And i didnt think of it at the time because i didnt know pika had been playing dh.

I’d recommend watching your recorded video to see if the person you felt was playing out of their mind is one of the best WoW players in the world or not. Might even make sense to do that before creating a thread next time.

16

Logic doesn’t make sense to me, there are also good dhs besides Pika. Anyways, very confusing post.

I was more curious about the botting question. Little helpful hint for your future career in the forums: people are allowed to post whatever they want.

Were you telegraphing with havoc or was the enemy forcing a peel with big momentum attacking you? Decent melee will predict coil in those scenarios, rather than react to it

Don’t let swole get under your skin, he’s still trying to figure out what personality he needs to fake to get the attention he wants

Google check PvP. It’s a website that shows people alts, so that way you can know for sure if it was one of the greatest players of all time.

Playing aff so not much telegraphing to be done, besides maybe having the cd available and being under pressure.

I could definitely see someone tracking coil on omnibar and knowing i need to peel, but what i cant see is pressing something in the same frame i hit coil.
