Buffs5=Command:/useitem Distillate of Clarity IV|Dual|Elixir of Clarity IV|Self

This line of code just constantly recasts itself every 10 seconds. Anyone know a way to only have this recast when it fades?
I'm sure im missing something simple.
or
Could i increase this to balance? CheckBuffsTimer=10
Thanks gang.

I think it's firing each time because of Command:/useitem, I don't think you can use it with a |dual| like that, try it without the Command:/useitem

Buffs5=Distillate of Clarity IV|Dual|Elixir of Clarity IV|Self

Don't think it needs the |Self either... for my rogue, the poison line looks like:

Buffs11=Consigned Bite of the Shissar XXII|DUAL|Bite of the Shissar Poison XXIII

I think another way to do it would be to just used a condtion, like this:

Buffs5=command:/useitem Distillate of Clarity IV|Cond1

then in the condition section do

Cond1=!${Me.Buff[Elixir of Clarity IV].ID}

Then it should only use the item if you are missing that buff.

That's how the buff section is supposed to work, they only cast if they are missing, the DUAL function is for when the casted buff (or item) has a different name than the resulting buff. Your way might work, but that then becomes two lines you have to keep up with the changes when upgrading the buff/spell/item etc.

I needed to learn conditions anyhow so this was a great lesson thank you for responding!

Haha, I wasn't even thinking, but yeah that's true. When I started using MQ I found conditions before I found dual, so I think it tends to stick as the first thing I think about.

Maybe this would reduce it to one line?

Cond1=!${Me.FindBuff[name "Elixir of Clarity"].ID}

I have not tried it so I may be hanging on a limb that just snapped.
