Maybe I described my wish in an uncomprehensively manner.
As the last version is written in Lua, it could do an infinitive loop, waiting for the mage to get l,ow on mana, and than start to recover the mana.
As far as I could unterstand, actually 1 call of MM will do 1 cycle of manarecovering and than end its service for this time.
To have it work all amgic, you need somethiong else to start it again, once you get low on mana.
As Lua it can run contemporary with all else running, so it could be extendet by a main-loop waiting for the mana to get low.

I set up a react for it a long time ago (I think it monitors mana level and combat state). But if you want to have it monitor mana and kick off the cycle at that point, feel free to have a go at the changes. I'm in the middle of another project and really don't have the time to tackle this. As hellfyre eludes to, some sort of config file will be necessary to keep track of the mana level. And probably also one for whether to do the mana recovery while in combat (maybe even taking into account if doing this in a raid/mission vs normal group grinding).

Ty, I am not shure if my knowledge is sufficient but I‘ll try to do the modification.

this still work?
So I ended up using the Lua from rouneq
and a simple LEM to trigger it. Caveat, though, it gets weird when you are recovering from a death since (in my case) CWTN kicks in and wants to do Mage stuff and the MM Lua also wants to do it's thing. Here I the LEM code

One of the first things the script does after verifying the operating environment is workable (i.e., initialization logic) is to use
/squelch /docommand /boxr pause. Later followed by a /boxr unpause before ending. This should stop any macro/plugin activity while MM is doing the work.I can't seem to get the Lua from rouneq to work. Did you need to do any changes to that?

I may have to just do I don't feel left out. My Druid doesn't even have mana problems. My FTP Druid. I'm serious.
I can't make the mobs come any faster in the missions. I'm killing as fast as I can. Maybe my ridiculous overcompensating for Mana Regen has something to do with it. I know you'll say it doesn't. But if you took my toons for a spin you would be surprised at how well they retain Mana.
@RobRenfro my mages ftp or normal are usually tapped for mana no matter what…you need to nuke, pet swarm, and of many spell line constantly. You also need to learn to pull swarms (3+) mobs per pull so theres always something waiting to be hit and to fully utilize your enc or bard fully and to reduce downtime.
Rgmerc chain pull with ranger ranged is amazing if your tank plugin isn’t handling swarm pulls well. Give it a go you’ll see…this routine/Lua is amazing at reducing downtime and increasing dps output
