Question - Necro Aggro Management

[howlinhoss]

Thinking about a way to FD off aggro on my necro then stand up after a say 10 seconds.

So far I have made a buff entry to cast Death Peace if aggro is > 90% then a script to stand if my state is equal to feign and toon is not sitting.

However, I have not been able to get it to work. Any glaring issues with this entry?

[AB6]
Gem=9
Spell=Death Peace
SpellFoci=
DurMod=0
SpellAlias=FD
Announce=/bc My aggro is too high - FDing
SpellMinMana=05
TarCnt=1
TarType=self cbt
Recast=FALSE
SpellIcon=
PreCondition=/if ({Me.PctAggro} > 90) /return TRUE

[AB7]
Gem=script
Spell=AggroScript
SpellFoci=
DurMod=0
SpellAlias=AggroCheck
Announce=
SpellMinMana=0
TarCnt=1
TarType=self idle cbt
Recast=FALSE
SpellIcon=
PreCondition=/if (${Me.State.Equal[FEIGN]} && !${Me.Sitting}) /return TRUE

[Script-AggroScript]
Commands=3
C1=delay 10s
C2=/stand
C2=/return

I am guessing it casts FD but dont stand up?

Yep no stand yet but still testing. Made some revisions since I saw some errors in MB with the delay so I removed that line. Also added in a condition that aggro needs to be less than 80% before it executes stand script.

please use this one to wrap in code, not inline code. that's doing each line as a code block.

Thanks - will do.

I think the best your going to be able to do is call the script if the conditions to FD are met then have the script cast FD, delay then stand. When I was fixing the similar rez script there seemed to be some funky interaction about using conditions to restrict when to call the script. Always evaluated to true or just didnt care and ran the script. Havent had time to dig into it. If this is the case you will need to basically always call the FD script, have it evaluate aggro, FD, delay then stand and return. @woobs might have better insight.

Currently, AB Scripts do not check the PreCondition. They just execute the script. You could move your precondition to the first line of the script and see if that helps.

This may be something more suitable for a MQ2Melee Downshit. For instance, I was using the following on my necro to remove a buff when he didn't have a regen buff on him (so he didn't kill himself).

downshit0=/if (!${Me.Regen.ID} && ${Me.Buff[Flesh to Venom Rk. II].ID} && ${Me.PctHPs}<80) /multiline ; /removebuff "Flesh to Venom";/bc No Regen - Removing Flesh to Venom

For context, I also did it this way so that it would get removed even if I had the macro paused (or ended). You might try a variation.

That explains allot and solves one of my headaches. Thought this might be the case. Thnx for the definitive.
