It's by design currently but, just wanted to give you guys a heads up on this. I have really not given my casters the love they need lately and I was trying to figure out their DPS and just saw all of the spam of this message in MQ logs.

<InsetSpellHere> interrupted due to The Main Assist Needs a Heal

So I dug into the KA11 macro and found this logic which works wonderfully for my clerics but everyone else, it's causing tons of delays for them. If I'm reading the macro right here, everytime we cast a spell it calls the cast sub, which calls the castinterrupt sub, which runs this if statement if you have CastingInterruptOn set to 1. This iff statement is basically just like if you have an MA set, alive, and below 70%, /stopcast, I might be wrong but, I think that's the issue.

/if (${HealsOn}) {
            /if (${Spawn[${MainAssist}].PctHPs}<70 && ${Spawn[${MainAssist} ${MainAssistType}].ID} && ${Spawn[${MainAssist} ${MainAssistType}].Type.NotEqual[corpse]}) {
                /stopcast
                /varset CastResult CAST_CANCELLED
                /echo ${CIDSpell} interrupted due to The Main Assist Needs a Heal.

I'm thinking I just add something to the /if (${HealsOn}) line to be something like this, but I'll go with whatever the devs here think is best! This just works for me since all my real dps run dps=2

/if (${HealsOn} && !${DPSOn}==2) {
            /if (${Spawn[${MainAssist}].PctHPs}<70 && ${Spawn[${MainAssist} ${MainAssistType}].ID} && ${Spawn[${MainAssist} ${MainAssistType}].Type.NotEqual[corpse]}) {
                /stopcast
                /varset CastResult CAST_CANCELLED
                /echo ${CIDSpell} interrupted due to The Main Assist Needs a Heal.

Why can't you just turn CastingInterruptOn off for the characters you don't want Interrupting their spells when the MA gets below 70% health?

I want them, to interrupt their nukes if their about to die to cast things like mind crash, concussion, dopleganger things like that. Also the shaman I do want to interrupt in some cases to heal the tank.

The easiest way to make this change is to find the CastInteruptDPS Routine(Sub CastInteruptDPS) and make the highlighted change:

    Sub CastInteruptDPS(string CIDSpell)
        /if (${DebugCast}) /echo \atDEBUGCAST CastInteruptDPS Enter \agLine#: ${Macro.CurLine}
        /if (!${Int[${Me.Casting.ID}]}) /return
        /if (${Target.Type.Equal[pc]}) /return
        /if (${Target.PctHPs}<1 || ${Target.Type.Equal[corpse]} || !${Int[${Target.ID}]}) {
            /stopcast
            /varset CastResult CAST_CANCELLED
            /echo ${CIDSpell} interrupted due to Killing corpses is not required.
            /if (${DebugCast}) /echo \atDEBUGCAST CastInteruptDPSCheckDPS1: ${Target.PctHPs} ${Target.Type} ${Int[${Target.ID}]} \agLine#: ${Macro.CurLine}
        }
        [BGCOLOR=rgb(209, 72, 65)]/if (${HealsOn} && ${CastingInterruptOn}==1) {[/BGCOLOR]
            /if (${Spawn[${MainAssist}].PctHPs}<70 && ${Spawn[${MainAssist} ${MainAssistType}].ID} && ${Spawn[${MainAssist} ${MainAssistType}].Type.NotEqual[corpse]}) {
                /stopcast
                /varset CastResult CAST_CANCELLED
                /echo ${CIDSpell} interrupted due to The Main Assist Needs a Heal.
                /if (${DebugCast}) /echo \atDEBUGCAST CastInteruptDPS CheckDPS2: ${HealsOn}  ${Spawn[${MainAssist}].PctHPs} ${Spawn[${MainAssist} ${MainAssistType}].ID}  ${Spawn[${MainAssist} ${MainAssistType}].Type} \agLine#: ${Macro.CurLine}
            } else /if (${Select[${Role},pettank,petpullertank,hunterpettank]}>0 && ${Me.Pet.ID} && ${Me.Pet.PctHPs}<80) {
                /stopcast
                /varset CastResult CAST_CANCELLED
                /echo ${CIDSpell} interrupted due to my Pet Tank needs a heal.
                /if (${DebugCast}) /echo \atDEBUGCAST CastInteruptDPS CheckDPS3: ${HealsOn}  ${Me.Pet.ID} ${Me.Pet.PctHPs} \agLine#: ${Macro.CurLine}
            }
        }
        /if (${DebugCast}) /echo \atDEBUGCAST CastInteruptDPS Leave \agLine#: ${Macro.CurLine}
    /return

Now for the Characters you want to STOP Interrupting DPS to heal, but you still want interrupts to work. Set CastingInterruptOn=2 in the characters ini file.
