Problem - Enchanter not recasting runes in combat

This is the issue I'm having, my enchanter while working fine for DPS, buffing (not sure if she buffs normal buffs in combat), sending pet in etc, problem is she will NOT rebuff runes in combat. I've attached her kissassist ini file in case it helps.

Ugh just noticed role means kissassist role : she uses Assist.

I don't think KA recasts the "buff" section during combat. If you want them to be cast during combat you will need to put them in the DPS section of the ini, or write a down/holyshits to run that functionality.
 
Runes are tricky. You want to keep them up, but you don't just want to spam them. With the next release of KA, there will be a better way of handling runes. You could use either the DPS or Heals section to manage runes. This will require you to learn conditions though.

Currently you could use the heals section and set to recast when get below a certain hp. leave them in your buffs section as well. the DPS section will just spam the runes.

I have this in my ini: DPS7=Polychaotic Rune|100|Me. Wouldn't that be treated like a combat buf ? I haven't seen him spam it yet.
 
I stand corrected. Yes eqholic is correct. It sets the timer not to recast until timer runs out. The other side of this coin is the DPS routine doesn't really care if it wears off. So if it drops I am not sure the DPS routine will re-cast it.
 
Tried it in the heal section with a condition to check if the rune is already there (don't cast) as well as just TRUE. Didn't seem to work at all. Tried it in the DPS section and that worked sporadically.

How would you do a downshit for this? Best I came up with was

downshit1=(${Spawn[${Me.XTarget[13].ID}].PctHPs} <= 50) /casting "Darkened Rune Rk. II" (something like this, not on my main computer where every thing is) and assigned xtarget 13 to be mainassist.

This works fine in combat, problem is when my mainassist is not in the same zone as the enchanter, enchanter will spam the run over and over.

First off that verision is so wrong , 9.2.4 is way out dated , where it says version clear out the version Version= Clear it out and save it and re run mac where alias will update and try again.....


Also , Most of the enchanter runes have different Spell names , try this


Rune|Dual|run spell name so for instance


Guard of druzzil|Dual|Guard of druzill XVI

sadly kiss wont read the buffs as the ini is listed , because it has the XVI on it , same for any other classes having issues

wizards for expamle Pryonmancy|dual|Pyromancy XVIII buffs correctly..... just using that as a example and from my experince's

Check out the original post's date... May 20th... at that point I believe 9.2.4 would have been pretty decent.
 
I always try my best to search for what I want to know. The title is about recasting of runes in combat and is pretty much my exact question.

That's for buffs, doesn't work in combat. Tried it in heals and dps every way I could think of, doesn't look like it's working there for how I want. I want the enchanter to treat it like a heal and have it take priority over him doing DPS so I can run with just one healer more reliably. Like if incoming DPS spikes real hard and my cleric falls behind and can't catch up with his healing, the enchanter will drop a rune or three till the situation stabilizes. Doesn't seem it'll do that with KISS. Maybe with the "Oh Shit" section eqmule is working on, it will. For now, just trying to do a downshit. and

assign xtarget 13 to MainAssist works for firing off the rune at the hitpoint on my tank/assist as stated, but if my enchanter goes out of group or my mainassist is not in the same zone as the chanter, chanter will spam the rune.

How do you check xtarget buffs? Or MainAssist buffs? Cannot get target.buffs to work because the enchanter probably won't have the Ma targeted. Or how do I work in /target Ma in the downshit?
 
netbots can get buffs on people in the same eqbc
using this as an example:
Rich (BB code):
/echo ${NetBots[Toon2].Buff}
	/echo Buff in First slot
	/echo ${NetBots[Toon2].Buff[1]}
	/echo Duration of all buffs
	/echo ${NetBots[Toon2].Duration}
	/echo Duration of the first buff slot
	/echo ${NetBots[Toon2].Duration[1]}
	/echo list of all short buffs
	/echo ${NetBots[Toon2].ShortBuff}
	/echo short buff in slot one
	/echo ${NetBots[Toon2].ShortBuff[1]}

could try
Rich (BB code):
/if (!${NetBots[TankName].Buff[RuneName]})

but like Mask pointed out that does not conform to KISS standards.
