LOL don't get too excited. It seems to work well for GRs but when trying to rift for pools in between... Things don't go very well lol. Trying to figure out a way to speed it up. Stay tuned.
Yeah hang tight guys. I'm talking to the devs about a couple adjustments to the way skeletal mages are handled and working on a more stable build along with some more script changes. Will get this ironed out and running a lot smoother ASAP. I hope lol. Either that or pull the plug on it and just go back to Wiz :p Necro has proven to be rather frustrating to say the least.
You hear that ROS-BOT team?? Where's my cut?? LOL.
As always man, it's never just me. Full team effort on this one. Still one of the best parts about ROS-BOT to me is the community. Everyone working together for the greater good of maximizing that XP/HR heh. Glad you're enjoying it.
blows the other rathma profiles away... I'm getting good results with my first tests... Im using endless walk and it is still quite tanky with 1.5 mill life and eso...I will test star of azkaranth with unity/ string of ears instead of witching hour later. Search for xp pools is probably the best option for this build! Thank you.
Finally was able to get in a good long GR 79 test run with my p2100 NS Necro. Had prestacked keys and was rifting for pools. The deaths came around the 8 hour mark when I paused it to see if it could handle using BotP instead of ESO. Problem is I forgot to give it more health to help make up for it lol. Ended up swapping back to ESO a couple hours later and no more deaths for the rest of the run.
P11XX, GR 76, no keys, no pools, search for pools none. I'd say that i'm half way to a decent gear. All paragon points are in Vitality so far.
Rek, what do you think of theses results? I think i might not have enough DPS for GR76 (games / hour is a bit low).
I'll do a bit run @GR73 to try.
Yeah it looks like GR76 may be a little high for max EPH for you atm. Still pretty good looking numbers though but if you can get your GPH up closer to 10.5 you'll probably be better off. One thing we're finding as more and more results come in, is that the area damage actually has a fairly significant impact on games per hour as well. Probably the result of mages melting extra trash mobs from the AoE. So try to add a couple area damage rolls too if you haven't already. GL!
I haven't seen it either but I don't think it's anywhere near perfect... Thing is though, once your paragon level reaches infinity and beyond, you really don't need perfect gear any more lol.
Great script, but somehow the bot doesnt cast devour often enough, at one point the devour buff falls off (i use devour sated instead to buff my hp). Any idea why?
Based on how devour was implemented in the ROS-BOT engine, it can only be used if there is 1 or more corpses within 60 yards and I have it set to check every 100ms. So the only reason you'd lose the buff is if there were no corpses for it to devour or some kind of bug in the engine.
Pretty good script, getting about ~150b xp/hr at < 900 paragon. Soloing GR 80's in about 7-8 mins and getting about 10-12 rifts/hr. Still not sure how someone can get 2.5x my xp rates haha.
I am getting 400-420 billion per hour with para 3500+ filling up on pools first then doing search xp pools over 8 hours with no deaths..... using star of azkaranth and area damage on 3 pieces life per hit on bracers only... around 2.2 mil life...I have max pickup on all pieces but 1 which helps a ton... highly recomend star of azkaranth because even with molten avoidence at 100% life the bot will still stand in it sometimes ... for some reason the necro does this more than wiz or wd...thanks again
so here´s a D3Planner Link with my settings (main stats are random). My Paragon is 4.3k(ish).
Some things I find important or worth noticing:
I prefer a greater Health Pool. I recommend 1.7 - 2.2 Million. That way your Avoidances kick in later. I will try a 95% Molten and Arcane Setting in the future to see how I´m doing. When you survive 1-2 consecutive molten would be awesome.
This brings me to my next recommendation. Find a decent Star Of Azkaranth. What kills you 9/10 is Molten and Blazing Guardians. Another huge benefit of it is, that you can get rid of all fire affixes in your Avoidance Settings and speed up rift clearances due to not waiting till molten has had it´s explosion. I had rifts where I lost at least 20-30b/h due to this affix. If you don´t have one (like me) go for either Eye of Etlich or Wisdom of Kalan.
Try to reach 100 Area Damage. If you are below 2K Paragon try to max out other stats or try to hit 18 Frames Breakpoint. It´s a huge damage boost if your stats are not that awesome anyway.
Elite Damage Reduction on shield and chest is something I don´t want to miss.
Gambling: Try to gamble on Rings or Amulets with a high shard limit. Long Town Routines kill your XP/h.
Gems: If you consider between Zeis and Powerful go for Zeis. If you have trouble with staying alive, either run lower or use Esoteric. If you run without Keys I would never run Esoteric!
My rule of thumb concerning games an hour is 11. If you´re above it, try a higher GR. (Vice Versa)
All my Screens right now are done with Prestacked Pools and Keys! I want to show what´s possible with the script and all my record Screens are done this way for true comparison. If you run without Keys you will never reach that numbers. After we figure out what is best in terms of performance of the script, we might figure out how to do TXIII in a more efficient way.
I use 100% copies of Reks Fastmode and Avoidance Settings.
I´m using Masterprofiles.
This is a very young script and even though it didn´t perform that well at the beginning, I saw the potencial. Since then I´m in contact with Rek every day running betas of the script, testing it, giving feedback and let my "crew" do the same just to be able to give him a chance to tweak it as good as possible.
For now I can say that if you have Keys at hand, 80% of you will run XP/h values that you never had before. Give it time, watch your Bot and adjust accordingly. The right GR Level is Key. Once you find it, I promise you´ll see very good results.
Thanks Radio. I like how since you already had attack speed on gloves and a ring you rolled the attack speed off of you Witching Hour in favor of the 15% life roll. Good thinking.
I'm dying to try the Star of Azkaranth thing but no RNG love for the rek on that one yet lol. Thanks for hookin us up with info on what's been working best for you.
In D3, attack speed isn't linear. It looks more like stairs. Because each attack has an animation to it which requires X frames to play though. Basically, if you use Taskers in the cube, 10% attack speed from paragon, 7 on weapon and 7 on 1 other item... Your mages attack animation requires 24 frames which equates to 2.5 attacks per second (D3 runs at 60 fps).
The next step up (commonly referred to as "breakpoint") requires an additional 35% attack speed which means you need it on your weapon, both rings, belt, gloves, bracers and amulet. Then your mages attack animation drops down to 18 frames which equates to 3.33 attacks per second. There is no in between for the mages... They either attack at 2.5/sec or 3.33/sec. So once you have attack speed on your weapon and 1 other item... There's no reason to have any more unless you're crazy enough to go for the next breakpoint.
I hope that makes sense, I'm pretty tired today lol.
Two questions since I'm new to this script:
1. Do people run fast mode on all the time for both GR and Normal? Or just normal? I'm unsure when to enable fast mode for the best xp/hr.
2. I'm at 1.5 mil sheet, 951p, 1.2 mil hp and have tried both 75's and 80's with keys stacked and only seeing around 140 bil/hr, 7-8 games per hour I think. Seems quite a bit lower than others - is it purely paragon?
1. Best is to have different Fast Modes and Avoidance Settings for the respective Rift. GR would be something more careful, while TXIII is more glass canon.
2. Aim for 11 games per hour (G/h) - GR80 is waaaaay too high for you. Try GR72 or GR73 and see how fast you are. You should definitely get over 10 G/h.
Thanks for the advice. If I may, a clarification on #1: this script includes fast mode settings, which I've imported into my master profile matching the one linked in the OP. The part I'm confused about is when I should enable fast rifting and most scripts don't touch on that. Should I basically have FastGR and FastRift on all the time or only when farming T13 for keys?
For example, I'm going to switch to GR avoidances, fast mode, and build to try and run 72/73 as you suggested. Should I also have FastGreaterRift on for that or leave it off?
Nice, thanks for the heads up. I know better than to trust D3planner on things like this, and yet I still trust it on things like this... It always used to be so accurate and up to date. Not so much these days. Next script update I'm just gonna pull all the 18 FPS stuff out of the OP I think.
I tried dropping unity for brigg's wrath and bone armor for decrepify and witching hour for dayntees binding... it has the potential to help the pets kill faster but the main issue is having enough resource to keep a lot of mages out even with the eternal torment passive. I wonder if there is a way to be able to use that ring effectively.... Food for thought!
MOAR MAGES update is live! Here's my GR79 run with my p2200 necro and the latest changes:
Compared to 276b/hr I was at 2 days ago... This is a new personal best for me and first time over 300/hr with my new bot account... Even better than I've ever had with my Tal's Archon wizzy.
Looking forward to hearing some feedback from you guys. Enjoy!
I would never say it's "OK" for public use lol. I tend to change it often and without warning... But you're welcome to use at your own risk. It is ID'ing items again though so I can keep an eye on dat mad necro loots.

I'm very curious to see if the search for pools thing works out better.
