Question - Question about buffs

[dchap0808]

I'm fairly new to using KA. So far, I love it.

My question is this: I want to keep a buff up on just 1 person in the group (Ranger DS). How do I enter that in to my macro file?

Also, Is there a way to put a line in the macro to periodically use the command /hidecorpse all? And, if that is possible, can you loop any command the same way?

Another problem I'm having...Cant keep my Wiz's familiar up. Every time I start the macro, it kills it. Any ideas?

Thanks!

1) i'm not 100% sure on the specific situation, but I believe the buffs section of the .ini supports the |ME tag on a buff to only apply the buff to the caster. Assuming you want the ranger to only put the DS buff on themself, this syntax should do it.

2) Not really within the framework for KA, instead working to get looting setup correctly with Ninjaloot / advloot should keep corpses to a minimum.

3) I believe the macro kills the familiar because the wizzy still has the buff & effect from familiar, just not consuming the graphics processing to display it.

Yes you can keep it up on Self (|ME), Main Assist (|MA), Casters(|Caster), or Melee (|Melee)

So it would be something like:

Buffs12=NameOfSpell|ME
Buffs13=NameOfSpell|MA
Buffs14=NameOfSpell|Caster
Buffs15=NameOfSpell|Melee

Buffs Self Only
You can now select to cast single type buffs just on yourself. If you are pulling and don't want to cast SoW on the entire group
use the following syntax: Spell Name|Me See example below

Buffs6=Spirit of Wolf|Me

Buff MA Only/Out of Group
You can now select to cast buffs just the MA. If you want to cast SoW on the just the MA and not entire group
use the following syntax: Spell Name|MA See example below

Buffs6=Spirit of Wolf|MA

Buff Melee only |Melee
You can now select to cast buffs just the Melee types and not entire group
use the following syntax: Spell Name|Melee See example below

Buffs6=Celerity|Melee

This is important when your Monk Puller is out of range during normal buff cycles. Using the Melee tag will make sure he/she gets buffed

Buff Caster only |Caster
You can now select to cast buffs just the Caster types and not entire group
use the following syntax: Spell Name|Caster See example below

Buffs6=Kei|Caster

I gotcha! Yea, I do see the buff icon still there, just the animation itself is gone. As long as I get the effect, I'm happy.
Thanks!

That is perfect Meistro. Thank you!

Kiss does tell the familiar to /pet get lost in case you want other pets and i hate the flapping sound of familiar wings
