Question - Have MA use spells at certain HP

[Mythaniel]

I think I read before if your tank is set to MA it doesn't follow the HP % logic for casting offensive spells. On Paladin I have Yaulp set to 95% and want Flash of Light set to 90%, the problem is that the paladin will cast both spells potentially before even engaging, and if you cast Flash of Light before doing any damage the mob sometimes just runs off.

How do I avoid this? I'd like to overall cast Flash of Light twice, once at 90% and once again at 55%.
Thanks in advance.

What about setting them up as holys?

You'd have to hunt down the syntax but this link might be at least somewhat close:

and there's a way to put in the mob's % hitpoints.

I'd like to go that route, but looking for the syntax to also cast just once. I don't want it spammed, even if it gets resists would like just 1 Flash of Light at certain HP intervals.

more info: http://www.redguides.com/community/...-Batman-MQ2Melee?highlight=bard holyshits#faq

in there it talks about setting a condition for mob hps between 2 values (i.e. 50 and 55) or something similar. You would have to test and tune the range to get consistent results.

Maybe something like this:

holyshit0=/if (!${Me.Buff[Yaulp].ID} && ${Cast.Ready[Yaulp]} && ${Spell[Yaulp].Stacks} && !${Me.Invis} && !${Me.Moving} && ${Target.Type.Equal[NPC]} && ${Target.PctHPs}>1 && ${Target.PctHPs}<99) /casting "Yaulp" -maxtries 2
holyshit1=/if (${Cast.Ready[Flash of Light]} && !${Me.Invis} && !${Me.Moving} && ${Target.Type.Equal[NPC]} && ${Target.PctHPs}>89 && ${Target.PctHPs}<91) /casting "Flash of Light" -maxtries 2
holyshit2=/if (${Cast.Ready[Flash of Light]} && !${Me.Invis} && !${Me.Moving} && ${Target.Type.Equal[NPC]} && ${Target.PctHPs}>54 && ${Target.PctHPs}<56) /casting "Flash of Light" -maxtries 2

Awesome thanks Calaxa~! Will gives these a try. The maxtries of 2 , does this mean it will attempt to cast twice during this duration, or cast again if resist?

it's for fizzles....also for interrupts
