Question - Shaman cannibalization

Version of KissAssist.mac?

When did your problem start?

Not a problem it is a question.

Character Role?

1. Assist

What class is having this issue?

1. Shaman

How often does this issue occur?

Always

Buffs3=Cannibalization|mana|80|Cond1
Buffs4=Cannibalization|mana|40|Cond2

Cond1=${Me.CurrentHPs} > 31000 && ${Math.Calc[${Me.MaxMana}-${Me.CurrentMana}].Int} > 12000 && !${Me.CombatState.Equal[COMBAT]}
Cond2=${Me.CurrentHPs} > 31000 && ${Math.Calc[${Me.MaxMana}-${Me.CurrentMana}].Int} > 12000 && ${Me.CombatState.Equal[COMBAT]}

Assuming the next fight maybe very soon I think this is the best approach but I don't see any shaman KA file using this approach. Why?

you don't need a hp cond check

Buffs3=Cannibalization|mana|pctmana to start using canni when we go over|pcthp to stop using canni if we are under or get under.

Buffs3=Cannibalization|80|50
Will use the spell if we get under 80% mana but are over 50% hp, if we are 45% hp when we drop below 80% mana, it will not fire till we are over 50% hp again.

now as for testing if we are combat, to have a lower mana pct before we start using it, seems like a good idea, personally my shaman just uses his aa whenever he drops below 75% mana and are over 50% hp, usually thats good enough to have enough mana till next refresh of the aa

In combat you use canni at 74% which takes time away from perhaps a very important heal. Oh wait I think heals have priority over the buff section.
80% mana and 50% HP are relative. My SHM is 92 and when his lag pile buffs drop his mana/HP drops greatly. In my conds the mana/HP is hard coded
and I dont need to concern myself with whether my lag pile buffs have dropped. At max level in the game this issue is probably not important. At my level
when my HP/Mana lag pile buffs drop I lose 25% of my HP and much mana. My char is not a twink or a alt.

I see you use |Mana%|HP% most shaman KA files only use Mana% I like your approach.

I will use hard coded numbers in my conds if I ever kill my char with canni my son will never stop laughing.

I don't think you can cannibalize yourself to death anymore. I saw a message on my shm the other day saying I couldn't canni as it would result in my death. That account just went ftp and my hps were a bit lacking. That was the AA though. Spell version might be different.

Thank you Saffron. I tested your advice a moment ago in PoK. Reminds me of 1999 when someone would give a low level player a mod rod and ask him to use it. Yes I died. Give me 50 red cents and we will be even. Lol
