Problem - Healer box constant cycling

[Attos123]

Hi all. I downloaded mq2 this morning and created a team of 3 test subjects. Warr, Clr, Druid (told you I love my druids)

I set healer up to buff, chase, assist at 90%, and heal at 70%.

When the healer got low on mana, she started constantly cycling between the tank and mob. Why did she not just stay in melee and attempt to heal again when mana permitted? Is there a mana threshold in the .in file that I need to change?

Thanks all in advance.

Yes. I followed the instructions in the video tutorial, and everything went well, until she got low on mana. Then she went wonky and stopped attacking and just kept cycling targets.

The reason the caster is cycling targets is to check if they have a heal/cure/rez to cast, In some situations the cleric has to target another character. Another thing that can add target bouncing is using a condition that has any reference to {Target. This causes the the CastWhat routine to target the character before the condition can be checked. Also the CheckStats routine will target characters, to see their mana/endurance levels. Sometimes because of lag the group information stat bars are not updated. Also make sure only the puller has groupwatchon turned on and everyone else should be turned off.

Thanks for the info. I'll make some ini checks when I get to play this weekend.
