Question - spell immune mobs, how to stop chain casting?

[janktron]

Very new to this, just set up my wizard with kissassist, and curious how to stop him from chain casting on mobs that are immune ( or jsut very high resists) to spells. I have my staff of temperate flux set up to cast only once at 99%, yet it will chain cast it over and over if its resisted. Very annoying, lol

I would take the staff out of your KA in I and setup a holy to click the staff. You could limit recast attempts by only using a pcthp>95.

ahh, no clue how to do that...i'll have to read up

Put |Once after the staff name in your ini. It'll only cast it once regardless if it's resisted or not.

I think this should work you want to stick this in your charactername ini file in your mq directory, if you dont see the file there in game in your mq window on the wiz type /melee save then check the directory, after editing the ini file you need to /melee load in game

downshit0=/if (${Target.PctHPs}>95 && ${Target.PctHPs}<99 && !${me.casting} $$ !${Target.Buff[Lower Element I].ID}) /cast Staff of Temporal Flux|Item

Placing this into a downshit should make it so it doesn't matter if it spams it between casts for kissassist.

had it like this originally..doesn't work

KA tries to get the spell to land i believe, so if the spell is resisted it tries again and again to land it, even with DPS1=Staff of Temporal Flux|Once.

Looks like the spell timer only gets set for the Once flag if the spell lands on the mob and not resisted. It would be easy to mod this so it set the timer regardless, but would need Maskoi's input on how the Once flag was intended to be used.


if you want to make the mod yourself here is what you would need to change:

Find this code in sub CombatCast

                    /if (${Macro.Return.Equal[CAST_RESIST]}) {
                        /echo ** ${DPS[${i}]} on >> ${Spawn[${DPSTargetID}].CleanName} << - RESISTED
                    }
                    /if (${Macro.Return.Equal[CAST_TAKEHOLD]}) {
                        /echo ** ${DPS[${i}]} on >> ${Spawn[${DPSTargetID}].CleanName} << - DID NOT TAKE HOLD
                        /varset DPSTimer${i} 5m
                        /goto :skipcast
                    }

and make the following changes:

                    /if (${Macro.Return.Equal[CAST_RESIST]}) {
                        /echo ** ${DPS[${i}]} on >> ${Spawn[${DPSTargetID}].CleanName} << - RESISTED
                        /if (${DPSText.Arg[3,|].Length} && ${DPSText.Arg[3,|].Find[once]}) {
                            /varset DPSTimer${i} 5m
                            /goto :skipcast
                        }
                    }
                    /if (${Macro.Return.Equal[CAST_TAKEHOLD]}) {
                        /echo ** ${DPS[${i}]} on >> ${Spawn[${DPSTargetID}].CleanName} << - DID NOT TAKE HOLD
                        /varset DPSTimer${i} 5m
                        /goto :skipcast
                    }
