Request - CoH request...

[surfdog21]

I run a mage in all of my groups. A lot of times I will run all of my mages to a boss or point of gathering of thy groups. At times, I only have a minute for them to CoH everyone in before pathing mobs get back into aggro range. The problem I am having is I cast CoH on one mage, and while its timing out I window out to my next mage, and so on to amass a tour de force only to find that most of them had their long cast time CoH interrupted because they have decided its time to mem a spell in the middle of casting CoH, or cast a buff or some other mage thing.

My request is this; is there a way to create a condition or whatever is clever to make it so if one of the mages is manually made to cast CoH while KA is running to do nothing else while CoH is casting? Manually pausing and unpausing on multiple mages once after another is not working well, and with 4-6 mages doing this one after another well, they turn into delicacies for the roamers that have pathed back....

You could make a hotkey on one toon that does /bct mage //mqp for each one and hit it to pause them then again once everyone is at camp.

Instead of a BCT for each mage, you could issue the same command via a /BCA. Something along the lines of:

/bca //mqp
/bca //Casting “Call of the Heroes”
[wait 10 seconds]
/bca //mqp

Will a command from EQBC make a toon stop doing anything else until that command is completed or will KISS interrupt it to do whatever KISS decides the toon should be doing?

I used dev's macros before KISS, one of the things I liked about dev's macro is it had a Command section within the ini and you could

X=/target puller; /cast coth

----wasn't this way, but I forget.

and your mage upon being told X would stop doing anything else and coth your puller back to camp.

I had commands set up for a few different toons so that I can micro manage them when needed. From my warrior/puller that I control, I could tell my mage to coth, have my enchanter rune, have my shaman cast a heal over time and the macro would not do anything till the command is accomplished.

Just make a macro that coth everyone in group from party member 1 to 5 and run it on all the mages at once.

This is way to complex to achieve in kiss

You could try just using a custom event in kiss that will wait while CotH is casting, every chance it may not fire on every cast in time before interrupting itself... But it may help overall
