It may require some reworking, but consider instead of toggling the var between true/false, increment it on WS and decrement later -

0sec WS1 (pending++), pending is now =1
5sec WS2 (pending++), pending is now =2
6sec WS1 window ends, pending--, pending is now =1
10sec WS3 (pending++), pending is now =2
11sec WS2 window ends, pending--, pending is now =1
16sec WS3 window ends, pending--, pending is now =0

Then set the swap to WS gear anytime pending >= 1

It doesn't handle a case where you can WS again before 16s, but from what you're describing I don't think that's a major concern currently.

This is actually a very good idea, I'll give it a try.

This is probably a question that has been asked elsewhere in this thread, but here goes.

I'm using motes files with sidecars for all my gear in them (ie. MyCharacterName_WHM.lua). Currently I have a bunch of gear augmented for magic attack bonus that I use on GEO, BLM etc. Right now, I have each piece defined under function user_setup() like this: gear.AccHeliosBody = {name="Helios Jacket", augments={'INT+9','Mag. Acc. +20','""Fast Cast" +5"'}}. I then have to copy that definition to the lua for each job that uses that piece in order to use it in my sets. As I get better augments, I have to go back and update them in each individual job file.

I believe that I can add all that gear to Mote-Globals.lua, but then every time that file gets updated, I would lose all my definitions. I'd really like to just have a separate file of my own for that while still being able to use the rest of motes Globals. Is there a way to create a separate file with all of my augmented gear items that I can call on from multiple jobs?

Sorry if this has already been answered somewhere else in this thread.

can someone write the lua line to equip refuge rr neck from ado to kick in when in any rieve?

[Malithar]

If you're using mote's files, this will work if placed in the user code section.

sets.reive = {neck="Adoulin's Refuge +1"}

function customize_idle_set(idleSet)
    if buffactive['Reive Mark'] then
        idleSet = set_combine(idleSet, sets.reive)
    end
    return idleSet
end

function job_customize_melee_set(meleeSet)
    if buffactive['Reive Mark'] then
        meleeSet = set_combine(meleeSet, sets.reive)
    end
    return meleeSet
end

Whats steps do you take to make double darkness on dancer? What do you even use that on? Most everything I ever fight on dnc dies before 1 darkness even goes off.

[gargurty]

now on what spot, tried the bottom of that file but i had an error on it

Evis > PK > Rudras
PK > Evis > Rudras
Can get either of those off fairly easy if you are delay capped or have Mythic AM3. I usually Reverse + Climactic the Rudras for a ton of damage. (7 FMs is nice.)
My gear isn't all that great since I haven't played much since Adoulin, but I've been able to make that second Darkness hit for 50-70k on some of the Unity NMs and stuff.

Cerberus/Orthrus in Salvage lately, and pretty much anything with HP in new content. I main DNC, have a Terpsichore for it, and do most content low-man where I'm usually the only/one of few DDs.
If you're Trumpy on Shiva you've probably seen me around on Karichan/Karinyan. ;o

[Trumpy]

Yes that is me on Shiva.

Hmm I will have to mess around with it. I havent done much Job Points on DNC yet I don't think I have ever tried to Double Darkness solo (Just hadn't thought to try), and I usually just stick to using Rudras x 2 for my Darknesses. I guess I will mess with that a bit and see what I can do. I have /SAMed in the past and used Climactic and Sekkanoki to make a Darkness SC with both WS forced to Crit, but rarely get to fight a target that I would use my DCN on that would even survive the first WS; if they do, it usually dies on the 2nd WS and I dont see how much DMG the SC does.

Thanks for the info!

How do I also add the weather and day together?

  	    if spell.skill == 'Dark Magic' and world.day_element == 'Dark' then
  	    	equip(sets.midcast.DarkObi)
  	    	end
    end

Edit: Nevermind, found it. Couldn't find it in any BLM gearswaps, but it's world.weather_element.

[Shosei]

I can't get Sapience Orb to equip in my BLM lua. I've tried equipping it and exporting my set and then copy/paste the ammo="Sapience Orb" bit straight into the lua, but no luck. Thoughts?

Edit: The orb is in my wardrobe, but I initially tried it from inventory.

make sure your equipping it to the ammo slot
then use gs show_swaps to watch your gear swap and see if its equipping it because fast cast can be so fast(almost instantly) that you wont see it change even in if your watching the equip window

[Kari]

Also try putting ranged=empty into the set, if you're swapping from ranged ever.

[BerenTebogo]

Probably dumb question, trying to add Adoulin Refuge lock and the apostrophes in 'Adoulin's Refuge' are fucking with me. Any ideas on how to fix it?

function job_handle_equipping_gear(playerStatus, eventArgs)    	

    if player.equipment.neck == 'Adoulin's Refuge' then
        disable('neck')
    else
        enable('neck')
    end
end

[hopefulki]

This is what I use:

function job_buff_change(buff, gain)
if buff == 'Reive Mark' then
		if gain then
			equip({neck="Adoulin's Refuge"})
			send_command('@wait .5;gs disable neck')
			add_to_chat(100,'> > > >Joining a Reive Equipping Adoulin\'s Refuge, Locking Neck Slot')
		else
			send_command('gs enable neck')
			add_to_chat(100,'> > > >Leaving a Reive, Unlocking Neck Slot')
		end
	end
end

[BerenTebogo]

Awesome, that works great. Thanks ki!

One other question: How do I handle items like Inspirited Boots (duration of refresh effects received +15) or potency of cure received, etc. Do they go in midcast? Or something totally different?

[hopefulki]

Yeah, put it into your sets.midcast.Refresh or sets.midcast.Cure to get the bonus active when the spell goes off

[BerenTebogo]

Yeah, put it into your sets.midcast.Refresh or sets.midcast.Cure to get the bonus active when the spell goes off

Thanks!

its been a while since I have played, but if you want some control over whether to use the obi with one conflicting weather or not you could use logic similar to this...

Note 1: I have the following mappings

elements = {}
elements.use_on_single_conflict = false
elements.strong_against = {['Fire'] = 'Ice', ['Earth'] = 'Thunder', ['Water'] = 'Fire', ['Wind'] = 'Earth', ['Ice'] = 'Wind', ['Thunder'] = 'Water', ['Light'] = 'Dark', ['Dark'] = 'Light'}
elements.weak_against = {['Fire'] = 'Water', ['Earth'] = 'Wind', ['Water'] = 'Thunder', ['Wind'] = 'Ice', ['Ice'] = 'Fire', ['Thunder'] = 'Earth', ['Light'] = 'Dark', ['Dark'] = 'Light'}

Note 2: Logic code for using obi

function use_obi(spell, equip_set)
	local use_obi = false

        -- first check to see if any elemental obi rule matches
	if(S{world.day_element, world.weather_element}:contains(spell.element)) then

                -- If at least one matches, try to find out if there is also a weak element involved
		if ( world.weather_element == elements.weak_against[spell.element] ) then

                        -- If weak weather is involved, but it is only single weather, check to see if use_on_single_conflict is set to true
			if ( world.weather_id % 2 == 0 and elements.use_on_single_conflict) then
				use_obi = true
			end

		elseif (world.day_element == elements.weak_against[spell.element]) then

                        -- If weak day is involved check for double weather or single weather + use_on_single_conflict set to true
			if (world.weather_id % 2 == 1 or ( elements[use_on_single_conflict] and world.weather_id % 2 == 0) ) then
				use_obi = true
			end

		end

	end

	if (use_obi) then
		equip_set = set_combine(equip_set, { waist = "Hachirin-No-Obi"})
	end

        return equip_set
end

I am conflicted as to whether to use the example above on my blm lua (Montente's btw) or Qixacotl's example. I tried adding Qixacotl's and I don't think it's working. I placed it here:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- Job-specific hooks for standard casting events.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

-- Set eventArgs.handled to true if we don't want any automatic gear equipping to be done.
-- Set eventArgs.useMidcastGear to true if we want midcast gear equipped on precast.
function job_precast(spell, action, spellMap, eventArgs)
    if spellMap == 'Cure' or spellMap == 'Curaga' then
        gear.default.obi_waist = "Bishop Sash"
    elseif spell.skill == 'Elemental Magic' then
        gear.default.obi_waist = "Sekhmet Corset"
        if state.CastingMode.value == 'Proc' then
            classes.CustomClass = 'Proc'
        end
    end
end
	
	
function job_post_midcast(spell, action, spellMap, eventArgs)
    if spell.skill == 'Elemental Magic' then
        if spell.element == world.day_element or spell.element == world.weather_element then
            equip(sets.midcast['Elemental Magic'], {waist="Hachirin-No-Obi"})
        end
    elseif spell.skill == 'Healing Magic' then
        if spell.name:startswith('Cure') and world.day_element == 'Light' or world.weather_element == 'Light' then
            equip(sets.midcast.Cure, {waist="Hachirin-No-Obi"})
        end
    end
end
	

function job_post_midcast(spell, action, spellMap, eventArgs)
    if spell.skill == 'Elemental Magic' and state.MagicBurst.value then
        equip(sets.magic_burst)
    end
end

function job_aftercast(spell, action, spellMap, eventArgs)
    -- Lock feet after using Mana Wall.
    if not spell.interrupted then
        if spell.english == 'Mana Wall' then
            enable('feet')
            equip(sets.buff['Mana Wall'])
            disable('feet')
        elseif spell.skill == 'Elemental Magic' then
            state.MagicBurst:reset()
        end
    end
end

Also, If I were to go with Shadowmeld's option, where do I add the elements (Note 1) and the coding for obi (Note 2) so that it works properly. New at this as well.

my gearswap refuses to equip seraphic ampulla in the ammo slot, might be because its not in the resources?
