Question - Rallying Solo/Call for Bard... How to pop without engaging for 30 seconds.

[Granditos]

I feel like with my ini that my bard pops rallying call/solo in-between pulls and maybe gets 3-5 second benefit. I guess that is better than nothing, but is there a condition I can add that will keep them out of combat until rally wears off? Problem with that could be the need to mez... Or only pop when my puller or healer is medding? Not sure what the best way to handle this is.

Avoid combat: You could try writing a condition-based LEM that pauses the macro or turns off melee combat if you have rallying on.

There are a couple of options to handle this situation. LEM as Kookies suggested, or MQ2React. I use React with the following:

[CODE title="Bard Rally Pause for MQ2React"] BardRallyPause:
action: >-
/multiline ; /mqp on ; /twist off ; /alt act 1136 ; /sit ; /timed
400 /mqp off
condition: >-
${Me.CombatState.NotEqual[COMBAT]} && ${Me.AltAbilityReady[Rallying
Solo]} && ${Me.PctMana} < 30 || ${Me.CombatState.NotEqual[COMBAT]}
&& ${Me.AltAbilityReady[Rallying Solo]} && ${Me.PctEndurance} < 30[/CODE]

That pauses kissassist, stops the twist activates Rallying Solo, and sits the bard to med while regening mana and endurance. It will trigger once the bard goes below 30% mana or endurance and Rally Solo is ready and the bard is not in active combat. It keeps the macro paused for a little bit longer than the duration of Ralying Solo then it will automatically unpause. It has been an awesome addition at helping my bard be able to maintain mana and endurance for long periods of grinding.

This is perfect! Thank you. I do worry about my puller continuing to pull while bard is MIA, especially for crowd control purposes. But I guess that is a risk worth taking and also depends on the farm spot (ie- how important crowd control is).

Thanks for this! Implemented on my bards just now!
