Question - There has to be a better way to check for Chromatic Haze?

[B_I_G__D_A_D_D_Y]

Using either KissAssist or MuleAssist I have several characters for which I want to maximize DPS by checking for the presence of Chromatic Haze (a song window buff). For example from the Kiss INI file for my tank:

Cond5=!${Me.Song[Chromatic Haze IX].ID}

It works, but it's very disconcerting to watch the Tank keep targeting himself every few seconds (DPSInterval time!) during a fight in order to check that condition. I'm checking it on nearly every DPS= line because Chromatic Haze only lasts 2 ticks and I want to make sure he doesn't waste those ticks casting low priority stuff. What I want is to have him cast Harm Touch and Thought Leech and not much else when Chromatic Haze hits.

I've thought about putting it into a React and just checking the "begins to cast" message from my 'Chanter. (Although the enchanter could have the spell interrupted!) Before I did that I thought I'd ask the experts if there is a better way to check for the presence (or absence) of a song or a buff without targeting yourself? Or how do you get the maximum benefit from Chromatic Haze?

he shouldhn't have to target himself to do that - are you sure you don't have a |Me tag on something somewhere - or missing a |Tap on a self heal?

You might be on to something, I was using the |mob tag in the Heal section instead of |tap

I'll switch it right away and check it out!
