Question - Help creating a kcondition

[reedreddington]

So basically what i am looking to do in kissassist conditions is cast Mage short term DS on the current Mob's target. Sometimes i don't have a true tank and am using merc to tank and want to cast on that target. I have a manual setup using xtar 2 for the target i want. But was looking for how to go about setting it up automatically.

Any help would be appreciated. If its kind-of not a thing then that's ok i can do it manually.

Never mind. I just worked out a buff condition. I don't think it will work while in combat. Can't seem to get targeting figured out for it while in combat.

if you have set kissassist to use the merc as main assist you can do


dps1=buffname|99|ma

that will cast the buff on him during combat, depending on is reuse time you might need a conidtion that checks if he has the buff first.


make sure to read the wiki, it does have some good infos

Pretty sure Mercs can't be set to main assist - you get a message stating something like NPC cannot be set to this role'. You can set them to main tank.
Could potentially use TargetofTarget datatype - member of Spawn TLO, just not really sure how it would go syntax wise.. maybe ${Me.TargetofTarget}?

its not the group assist, its kissassist assit

/mac kissassist assist ${Mercenary.Name} 100

I went with

BuffsXX=nameofspell|Class|War,Pal,SHD

This catches any tank types including mercs. I was just searching for a complex solution when there was a more simple version for what i was thinking.

For pet i can just add it to pet buffs.

I don't find myself chain pulling so its not like i am lacking downtime. I do have combat medding on for mage and can push manual process if they are medding and merc needs a refresh.

I did find a conditional in another person's ini that will work later on if i need to have the buff pretty much up all the time....so if there is downtime at any point between it running out and 1 min out it should trigger.

CondXX=!${Target.Buff[nameofspell].ID} || ${Target.Buff[nameofspell].Duration.TotalMinutes} < 1

You can also run buffs in DPS section if you want them to fire in combat. Best for group buffs, individual ones that are not self only are more difficult. There are limited taget options - Me, MA, Mob

Right. that was the problem. i wanted it to fire on merc tank while in combat but it doesnt match any of those 3. i was hoping for a way to target xtar in DPS but thats counter intuitive for kissassist.

 

[nitramneb]

What Kaen above was saying is the MA would target the KissAssist designated MA, not the grouproles one. So the MA tag should make your toon target them, as long as you started kiss with kissassist assist <mercenary.>, or had them targetted when you start up kiss. I have done at least one group that way, not sure if I had any buffs in DPS directed toward the Merc tank. I'll take a look at those inis

 

[reedreddington]

oh that makes more sense. i never thought to target merc and run kissassist. ha.

but i don't really trust that route as i've seen mercs run off into the sunset for no reason....
