Bug - Bard dps "Once" flag doesn't work for Boastful Bellow

[winnower]

Ini:

[DPS]
DPSOn=1
DPSSkip=20
DPSInterval=2
DPS1=Boastful Bellow|100|Once
DPS2=Requiem of Time|100

The bard will cast Boastful the entire fight. On the bright side, he's landing slows almost every time now.

I debugged this and CastWhat is returning CAST_RECOVER instead CAST_SUCCESS, even though it casts sucessfully. This seems to be a race conditions where it's still reporting Me.AltAbilityReady as true, even though it casted (or is going to cast very soon).

Adding a /delay 1 after that /alt activate appeared to work

            /if (${IAmABard}) {
                /alt act ${Me.AltAbility[${castWhat}].ID}
                /delay 1   <<< added this line
                /if (${Me.AltAbilityReady[${castWhat}]}) {
                    /varset CastResult CAST_RECOVER
                } else {
                    /varset CastResult CAST_SUCCESS
                }
                /return ${CastResult}
            }

Note, this is more of an FYI than a high priority thing.

I'm trying to think of what other AA would make sense to put in the DPS section? pet's summons?

As a background, I'm trying to do hard content with bard handling both slows and mez, so trying to get every last bit of effectiveness from him. The bard is really kicking ass and I'm finding my the biggest frustration is with MQ2Twist while KissAssist is performing admirably.

Since AA don't have fizzle I think I did that to check if the AA had been cast. I guess on newer computers it whips through so fast it didn't register the aa had been cast.
Thanks for the fix

Bard AA timing issue resolved in new code revision for 8.2.5 KissAssist..

I'm closing this ticket since the fix is in.. just waiting to confer with Maskoi on 2 small issues i notice in 8.2.5 code before i release it to production.
