Question - Bard mana song help

[Redfrog]

I would like help with two things.
1. How can I set things for the bard to always sing whatever his top mana regen song is for the group.

2. How can I add a song to update a lower level one that plays currently (only sings in combat). Currently set on 'Live' for use with a vanilla EMU and I have tried Rescan and Reload Spells and restart RGMercs.
I would like to add this one(my current highest level one):

Thank you !

1. What are your current regen song use settings?

2. I think there is a spell missing from the list I've been meaning to add. I will look at it when I get home.

Because the songs alternate back and forth it's a tiny bit screwy at lower levels but I'll double check to make sure just health songs are removed in favor of just mana songs.

The song there is 'Chant' a lower level regen. I tried taking it out of the spell bar and placing the newer one 'Chorus', but it replaced it with Chant again.

Right, the config is going to use the spell from the lists, which I will take a look at when I get home. If you want to change it, you edit the config; but it sounds like the default may be missing the proper spell in this case, so that may be wasted effort unless you need it now.

I'm not sure why you are showing me the mana tab. If you want the regen song use setting, I think it is one tab over (going off of memory).

Its ok, I don;t know also...

Nah, I get it, I think it can use those settings, but I think there is a specific setting on the regen tab for those songs that is something like:
All the time (edit: actually think that is off)
Out of combat
Whenever we are under the numbers on the mana tab (edit: which you can use to always sign it by setting those correctly)

On my phone and not free to pull the code up unfortunately

It ain't gonna help you if the config is pulling the wrong song however

You can create a custom and edit it in or like I said I'll take a look when I get home

No prob, I'll wait for you. I'll likely mess it up if I try. I will add also, look at Ranger if possible, I have Runspeed buff option off, but Goofball keeps casting Spirit of the Wolf nonstop, due to bard or Druid has group covered with better.

Done as soon as it hits the launcher
Please note that this song is replaced by Cantata of Soothing at 34, which is 2 less mana per tick in exchange for adding health regen as well. I suggest those who would prefer not to make the switch to not scribe the spell, or customize their config.

Hi just following up. The Ranger DID stop casting, fantastic! The Bard did not use the Chorus spell, still using the low level Chant. The next Chorus is at around level 50 something, so if possible, this would be a big help for mana regen.
I do not have the Cantata, will have to see where it drops or bought, I'm on EMU so I'm not always sure where stuff is sold. Regardless, I may want to keep the Chorus one for more mana, due to group makeup.
I do see the setting you mentioned above for HP Regen Songs to Always sing, but the mana tab does not have an option like this for in and out of combat mana regen song, unless I am misunderstanding:
Ty kindly,

As far as Chorus, thanks for checking back in. I appeared to have typoed the name.
Edit: and it's fixed (as soon as you see an update).

As far as the other stuff, I think you are misunderstanding something.

The regen tab is for the regen song.
Your choices in mercs are the in-group song and the AE song, not health or mana, or any other choices. I understand Regen may be a misnomer primarily associated with health, and that likely leads to the confusion.

Whether the songs give H, M, E in whatever combination, is a function of inconsistencies or design direction at low levels. Mercs does not currently track those inconsistencies, or attempt to code around them. Whether the complexity is worth the gain is subjective and arguable, when we last adjusted bard, we determined it was not. The issue disappears shortly after the level range you are in and does not resurface.
