Question - Bard END/MANA issue

[taz6two]

Wondering if there is a way to automatically have my Bard sit and med while my tank is resting?

My bard(s) all suffer the same issue (various levels), they are almost always at less then 20 to 10 percent END/MANA after a few fights. Am I playing to many songs while they are not fighting? Is there a way to have the bard(s) pause|sit|watch the tank or mimic him while he's resting? After ten or so fights my tank rests, the group rests, but the bard sorta rests (as I'm sure others do) but the bard will keep standing and playing toons, sit and repeat. In one way this seems correct in the thought that he is playing mana and regen songs during group rest, yet keeping other songs up incase there is quick fight, but when the tank starts pulling again, my bard is always below 40 percent END/MANA.

I've looked at others INI's and some are playing more songs then me in General, I would not want to whack General as it takes time to get all the songs going... While this is not a wipe type issue, I think it's still not optimal not having the bard above 75%. Maybe I need a different setting in "GroupWatchOn" or "GroupWatchCheck" then what my tank is currently using?

Tank:

[General]
GroupWatchOn=2|20

Is there a Target.PctMana or Target.PctEnd? I know there is a Target.PctHPs... how can I query Target.* to see what all is useable?
Trying to write a condition like Cond8=${Target.Class.Name[Bard]} && ${Target.PctHPs} > 50 but instean of HPs. make it Mana or Endurance (End)

Example:

[General]
GroupWatchCheck=Cond8
[KConditions]
Cond8=${Target.Class.Name[Bard]} && ${Target.PctEnd} > 50

Right now, this bard @ level 100, is playing:

[General]
TwistWhat=1 3 5 8 9

[Melee]
MeleeTwistWhat=1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8

[Spells]
Gem1=Aria of Va'Ker
Gem2=Arcane Hymn
Gem3=War Chorus of Protan
Gem4=Kaficus' Insult
Gem5=Jonthan's Mightful Caretaker
Gem6=Mirror Melody
Gem7=Motlak's Lively Crescendo
Gem8=Chorus of Salarra
Gem9=Selo's Accelerato
Gem10=Selo's Accelerating Canto
Gem11=Slumber of Motlak
Gem12=Wave of Quietude

Thanks,

As far as the Mana issue goes, I did make a change to my buffs and that seems to have resolved my low Mana. Endurance is hanging in there better now too...

[Buffs]
BuffsOn=1
BuffsSize=5
Buffs1=Aria of Va'Ker|Aura
Buffs2=Motlak's Lively Crescendo
Buffs3=Rallying Call|managroup|30 <--- was set to 60
Buffs4=Rallying Solo|end|29
Buffs5=Rallying Call|endgroup|30

Seems matching that to 'endgroup|30' helped out a lot. Picked this up from @Sic 110 Bard in the INI section.

Boastful bellow will eat your mana and end

Boastful bellow will eat your mana and end

Correction: Bellow/Shout use endurance. Insult uses mana.

I found that my bard needs just the med song in his med routine. If he has a second song it makes him stand up to do that song and ruins his medding.

TwistMed=2

I wanted to have TwistMed=2 5 which had a resist song too while medding (in case we get jumped) but it makes him keep getting up. The mana song he can sing while sitting.

Bards can only play 1 song and sit, if you try and play another song while the bard is sitting it will fail and stop the first song that was playing. Kiss check if there is more than 1 song in your TwistMed entry and stay standing if there is.

I found that my bard needs just the med song in his med routine. If he has a second song it makes him stand up to do that song and ruins his medding.

Just a quick note also, IF you play this song and it hits your puller while you're trying to get to "rest," then it will put him in combat again and he will never truly "med"... not sure if that's something you might notice as well...
