I am trying to set things up so that if toons need C then modbot will cast the single target C Spell vs with 3 or more toons needing C it then casts the group version; Voice. This is what I have, but the single target spell never gets cast.

I have the same problem with Haste which I have setup the same way. One grp cast with the TarCnt set to 3 and the other single target spell with the TarCnt set to 1. Only the group spell ever gets cast, and it gets cast even in groups of only 2 players. If I understand TarCnt correctly it should never cast in a group of 2 with TarCnt set to 3. Any suggestions?

INI:
[AB3]
Gem=12
Spell=Voice of Precognition Rk. II
SpellFoci=
DurMod=225
SpellAlias=gc
Announce=/bc [+g+]Buffing [+x+] <<[+o+]Group [+x+]>>[+w+] with Mana Regen[+x+][+g+] %s [+x+]

Take out the PreCondition for the single target. The way you have it, it is always checking yourself for the group buff (not anything about person you want it to cast on). I used to do similar things years ago, but stopped due to it being over-complicated for what it was worth. I don't usually have mana issues these days so I just cast the group buff all the time.
 
Woobs!

Thank you for pointing out the problem with the Me.Buff check the way I was doing it. Doh.

The reason I tried to add it is that without a check (yes its wrong, but if it was checking each toon for the group version vs single cast version of C or haste or Doomscale, etc then the group spell should be cast with 3 or more toons in the group. What happens with the above configuration without a precondition is that the group spell is cast and then the single target spell is cast on each toon until they all have it. Then the macro starts all over and casts the group spell followed by the single target over and over in a loop.

Unfortunately I'm coming back to the game after a few years away and mana isn't something I can waste or I'd take your advice and simply use the group spell. If there isn't an easy solution for this I'll have to do that, but I'm hoping there is a way to setup both versions of a buff spell; group and single toon.

Thank you again!
