- Fixed some Bard Twisting issues. This should fix some issues where the Bard was single-shotting where he should have been Twisting.
- Update Bard Item casting to use MQ2Twist. This should make item casting for Bards more reliable/capatible.
- Fixed Disc Buffs to include buff timers like other buffs. This should prevent continuous recasting of Disc's that land on others.
- Buffs and Heals will now use Spell[x].MyDuration to calculate the length of time for a buff/duration heal. This is used to determine when to recast the spell premptively (before it wears off). This should pretty much eliminate the need to manually calculate most of your DurMod percentages. MyDuration will only be used if there is no ini entry in the associated DurMod field for the spell. If there is an entry, .Duration will be still be used (to not affect anyone who already has their DurMod's calculated the way they like them).
- Added the ability to add additional spell(s) to a particular buff that can be used to 'count' as having the buff. So, you should be able to say that single haste and group haste (as examples) are equivalent/block each other. (See changes for ABSpellIcon below)
-- SpellIcon=<icon name><|addtional icon,additional icon,etc.>
-- Use when the spell icon has a different name than the actual spell (e.g. the spell Unity of Spirits has a spell icon of Transcendent Foresight. In fact, you could use any one of the four spell icons/names that Unity creates).
-- Please note that if the name you have in SpellIcon doesn't evaluate to a spell name, the buff will be skipped. In other words, leave it blank if your spell doesn't need it.
-- Additional icon(s) can be used to indicate other spells to count as having the buff.
-- Example (to prevent group haste from overwriting single haste):

My hero! Thank you so much for all your hard work! I love MB and this was one of the few things I didn't like about it. You rock!

Glad to hear :) Thank you for the feedback and the compliment! If you have any trouble with it, or with setting up the ini entries, let me know.
 
Why is this the first ive ever seen or heard about modbot? Updates I understand, but no one mentions it unless buffbots are the buffbots in modbots. I see cwtn, kiss, mule, rgmercs all the time, but never this one. Is it used by very few people due to the "advanced user" notation? or just slips ppls minds because the updates are less frequent?
 
The first rule of ModBot is...

Kidding, of course. The user base is less than KA, yes. Possibly because of the notation, or because people are comfortable with KA, or another option, and haven't tried it.

Looking at the forum, you don't see a lot of chatter. Some users do send me private emails with problems and/or suggestions. I should probably anonymize them and post them so that others can see those discussions. It would certainly help with MB's public appearance!

Although MB has been around a long time, it didn't have an official 'presence' here on RG until late in 2017. For myself, it was the macro I started with in 2009 and I have never looked back :)
 
I love modbot, and there are private updates floating around that people hold close to their chest, and imo this hampers it--I get it though. Not a lot of sharing unfortunately. Its a great macro, but I've been using muleassist lately.
 
I used to use it exclusively before I quit many years ago pre discovering RG. Use to self compile and use MB. Been to lazy to set it backup. Its on my to do list now that I'm getting more and move raiding boxes.
