Question - DPS then sit while in combat?

[Mythaniel]

I have tried searching and think the answer is no, but for massive efficiency, is it possible to say as a Necro throw on 3-4 dots, then med through the rest of the fight? Right now it seems the choices are either turn off med combat and throw on the dots and stand there until end of combat and then med.
Or if med in combat is turned on and your character is medding prior to the fight, it won't engage until sufficient mana is reached. Is there a happy medium?

Currently healers will med in combat and if a heal is needed stand up and then go back to medding. This possible for DPS?

The only solution I have found to make this work even a little bit is to use the DPS section of KA at DPS=1, and the Spells to cast set to cast Once, and use DOWNS to Sit

downshit14=/if (${Me.CombatState.Equal[COMBAT]} && ${Target.Type.Equal[NPC]} && ${Target.PctHPs}<70 && !{Me.Sitting}) /Sit

Haven't used this much as I am mostly outdoors, on mount, and have good mana regen. But My shaman Will Cast His spells, Heal, and when Mob gets below 70% life Sit. If heal needed again, Stand heal and sit. If it gets attacked, will try to move away, and sit.
Its not perfect, but works well enough for me.

What does the ! do in front of the |MA ?? This is how you have it |!MA.

 

[Dretski]

! means anything except MA

 

[Meistro]

This is part of my Shaman ini, I have it so t will cast single target heal on my Main Assist (Main Tank) and then cast grp heals if anyone BUT MA needs a heal so my MA gets the heal as well.

 

[Mythaniel]

Awesome, thank you again Meistro will try it out!

So, the necro attempts to sit, but then stands, then sits repeatedly. Wonder whats causing that.


further edit: I figure I have kissassist set medcombat=0 so it forces them to stand. Not sure how to get around this one, hrmm. So much lost efficency! I know the later expansions you can mount for most everything but isnt there still dungeons were mounting isnt allowed?

So it seems like the downshit just constantly triggers and repeats /sitting, is it possible to have a downshit only trigger once per fight or mob?

 

[Meistro]

Try:

downshit14=/if (${Me.CombatState.Equal[COMBAT]} && ${Target.Type.Equal[NPC]} && ${Target.PctHPs}<70 && !${Me.Sitting}) /Sit

added the :

&& !${Me.Sitting}

So if you are sitting it wont run the down.

 

[Mythaniel]

Works, your amazing. Efficiency through the roof.

I found this answer by Meistro to be very helpful and will work on implementing it soon on some boxed toons that have NOT been sitting to med while not in use. They seem to not want to sit and med until they get to xx% defined by Med % in their KA ini. Now that I'm learning more about Holys and Downs I believe this is a whole new world opened up to me

Thank you,
