Problem - Enchanter casts Mind Coil dot even though it's still active

[B_I_G__D_A_D_D_Y]

My max'd out 115 Enchanter keeps casting Mind Coil (Spell ID 60530) every pass through the DPS section even though it still has 3 or 4 ticks left before it fades. I've watched this behavior repeatedly over several days, several different computers, several different zones, and numerous different mobs. I've rebooted the PC numerous times since I first noticed this.

None of the other dots will refresh until they've completely faded from the mob. Mind Coil is a big mana cost so ideally you wouldn't want to recast it unless it's truly necessary. I thought perhaps this is something that EQ screwed up but if you right-click on the spell gem it's categorized as a "Damage Over Time" spell just like the rest.

This isn't a big deal in the grand scheme of things but I thought I'd post about it to see if anyone else is having the same thing happen. I'm using a slightly modified version of KissAssist that self-reports as 12.001.012. My modifications are simply to the pet toys routines and I've changed nothing in the DPS sections. My last modifications were done way back in June in fact.

Here's the relevant portions of my character INI file...

Did a bit of investigations

Each spell is assigned a timer based on when to refresh it. which kiss uses ${Spell[mind coil].Duration.TotalSeconds}, but this is the base duration of the spell as seen its inspection window

the yellow number should be YOUR duration cause you fancy and have gear and augs and aa's and what not, this number is found using ${Spell[mind coil].MyDuration .TotalSeconds}, Which would set the timer appropiately.

If you opne up the kissassist.mac

and look for theselines here

| Regular spells
} else /if (${Spell[${DPSPart1}].Duration.TotalSeconds}>0) {
       /varcalc DPSTimer${i} ${Spell[${DPSPart1}].Duration.TotalSeconds}*10

and change the .Duration to .MyDuration, i believe that should be a fix for your issue.

or you could add a check for thespell not being on your target in a condition.

Thank you! But it turns out I'm a freaking idiot!!!

OLD GOM:

[GoM]
GoMSHelp=Format - Spell|Target, MA Me or Mob, i.e. Rampaging Servant Rk. II|Mob
GoMSize=1
GoMSpell1=Mind Coil

NEW GOM:

[GoM]
GoMSHelp=Format - Spell|Target, MA Me or Mob, i.e. Rampaging Servant Rk. II|Mob
GoMSize=3
GoMSpell1=Mindrift
GoMSpell2=Pulmonary Grip
GOMSpell3=Mindslash

Edited to add: OMG this change massively improved my chanter's DPS!!!

Because casting Mind Coil on every GOM actually resulted in blocking a good nuke cast which then meant I wasn't getting the Chromatic Haze pulses!
