Auto-Cultivation Problems :(

We'll need some more information:
- What class are you using?
- What level are you?
- What are you fighting?
- What skills/combo are you fighting with?
- What skills/combo do you have in support at what interval?

You're gonna have to answer all of those questions if you want some valid responses. What level are you? What's your gear like? What mobs are you attempting to grind? Are you using a charm/autopot?

Having a setup with just bp and auto attacks will work only if you overpower the mobs to begin with. It's not just always gonna work for everyone in every circumstance. Are you dying while afk.. have you sat their and watched for a min or so to see how your toon does? If everything is working properly and you still die then your sin is just too weak. It could be you're being pked. You could be running into a world boss.

You need to provide real information instead of just QQing for help. My apologies but the OP just comes across as extremely lazy.

good morning everyone

Alright, lets go over the 2 main things.

First is your attack macro. You need to add the "walk around" command which is beside the auto attack command in the combo's window. Put that as the first skill then auto attack as the second. This is basically a loop command that will go through each skill listed then start from the beginning again. If you do not do this and your auto attack is interrupted (mobs do this randomly and quite a lot but sin's high evasion evades this mostly) your toon may not start attacking again. This is used a lot with spark macro's on sin's on various bosses.

Next, I should ask this before commenting but how long does your bp last. One problem with the assist slot is if you get interrupted the bot will not try the skill again until the timer ticks again.


The other thing is level/gear and mobs you are grinding on. Use pwcalc.com to show your gear unless this is a under lvl 80 toon.

Also what Mantille posted above will help with sparking, this is also dependent on your level. Triple spark (89+) is overkill, single sparking would be the best bet, for time lost sparking and for hp regen. When I tested this method on my catabarb(restated dex/str) with partial aps gear standing, single sparking worked the best.

False. Ending a combo with "Standard attack" means it will continue beating on the enemy with the standard attack until it's dead. Ending a combo with a skill causes it to loop through the combo until the enemy is dead. Walk around simply positions you near the enemy without attacking it - useful only if you want to stealth snipe it, or need to be in front of something before using a skill.
Think of "Standard Attack" like Vortex or Dragons Breath: It's a skill that doesn't end until the enemy is down.

I've had occasional freezes on my BM as well. Resolved them by setting a combo of triplespark and Li's Technique (for chi replenish) at a 15 second interval. Triggering the support skill forces the main attack combo to be redone from scratch.
Another thing I've found is that sometimes the game seems to "skip" a slot in the main combo if a skill with a shorter channel then cast is used, and the game is a little laggy. It may seem odd, but try to make your main attack combo 8x "Standard attack" (IE drag the attack icon to all 8 slots). This helped a lot in preventing freezes on my BM. Still happens on occasion though, but that's probably because I also need to use instant-type skills...

Also, I see you're not using any Chi-draining skills. Why not add "Spark Eruption" in your combo somewhere? It'll restore some life and help you kill critters faster every now and then. Recommend: "Attack, Attack, Spark+, Attack, Attack, Attack, Attack, Attack"

... need to find myself a Gorenox b:laugh

I've observed differently but will retest that on my BM when I get home today... Should be easy enough to do with a "attack - skill - attack - loop" combi. Meanwhile I am 100% sure that a combo without an auto attack skill at the end will auto-loop through autocultivation - my cleric is using that setup right now.

It used to wouldn't loop unless you put the "walk behind" command at the beginning, this was fixed with the expansion. Macros skipping skills that were on cooldowns also came with this expansion, previously it would break the macro. Now it will loop regardless, I have a BM macro that is just attack, spark, attack with her claws for my auto-culti and she cycles through to the spark just fine. Particular mobs I grind on that one allows her to grind til her weapon breaks and requires no pots or charms.
