The SpellCast Starter-File Project - Help Needed

**dantaro** · 2009-09-28 18:41

Basic WHM things that EVERY WHM should have:

Cure 1-4 build
Cure V build
hMP build
Haste build (Haste/Regens/-nas/etc)
Idle

Those are pretty much the bear minimum sets, most experienced WHMs (or those looking to play above the bare minimum) generally have these too

-Enmity Build (general spells)
-Enmity Build (Cures)
Haste (General Spells)
Haste (Cures)
Haste (Regen)
-Damage idle
HP/Sublimation idle
Devotion/Martyr swap
-Enmity + Haste Flash build
Aspir build
Barspell build
Stoneskin Build
Repose Build
Enfeebling Build

There are more, but I'm just listing some off hand. Barring cures, you can cap haste on almost all spells without sacrificing potency (Clearly spells where you stack pure skill or skill/m.acc are the exception, such as Repose) as well as capping haste and -enmity on Flash. Aspir should, at this point, be a standard gear setup for WHMs with the addition of /SCH, those who don't use it should.

At the very VERY least though, the 4 sets I listed at the start are a must.

Necessary functions:

Swapping to Cure builds on cures
Swapping to hMP build on rest

Optional Functions:

Swapping to HP/Sublimation Idle build if Sublimation is active after every spell
Swapping to -Damage Taken Idle if Refresh is up (or sublimation isn't) after every spell
Swapping in/out fast cast and cure casting time -% gear for spells
Auto swapping to/from Dark Arts for aspir

*Waits patiently for RDM and BLU sets to be posted*

BLU

Gear sets

Idle/running (refresh body, wlegs, pdt gear)
TP
Expiacion (STR and INT)
Savage Blade (STR and MND)
Vorpal Blade (STR, crit)
Multihit (STR & DEX, bear in mind physical spells have an innate +20 acc and 10 more with Physical Potency merits. Hysteric Barrage is DEX only but ideal gear ends up being the same)
Cannonball (50% STR 50% VIT, modified by your defense)
Vertical Cleave (50% STR)
Magic Fruit (MND, VIT, -enmity)
hMP
Head Butt (ACC, MACC, Haste)
Debuffs (MACC, ACC if physical)
INT/MND set (MAB~=INT>MND for damage, INT:MND damage is roughly 3:1)
MND set
CHR set
-enmity for Diffusion buffs
Ichi
Ni
Tanking sets: idle, casting for hate, etc. Same as any other tank, PDT when shadows are down, cap recast on spells

Necessary functions

Swap in full STR for SA'd Cannonball or Vertical Cleave
Recognize /NIN vs /THF /RDM etc and equip Genbu's/Acheron Shield on the latter when not using a staff

Optional functions

If you have Morrigan's Robe, equip it for CA Cannonball/VCleave instead of AF+1
Variable idle set (physical, magical, mixed)
When /THF and not TPing, Vulcan's/Brave for SA'd spells
Variable hMP set (Pluto's/Ariesian vs Sword/Sword or Sword/Shield)
Progressive MACC vs damage sets for the INT/MND/CHR nukes

Some of these may not be relevant depending on what a given player does as a BLU. Treat physical spells as x-hit WS, fSTR included, and you should have a decent idea of how to gear them. AF(+1) always for physical spells except the specific case listed above, AFv2 head is base damage +2 with full merits and AF body due to Blue Magic tiers in the damage calculation. If you want example gear sets, feel free to ask.

summoner builds:

idle set

hmp set

avatar perpetuation set(idle with avatar out)
a. specific to avatar gear: karura hachigane, ele staves, evokers gages(levi hands) carby mitts.
b. summoner horn and body exceptions for weather/day

blood pact delay- set

avatar physical blood pact attack set

spirit +skill and -perp hybrid set(there's a cap to +skill for spirits, so it would be best to hybridize this)

could probably all be rolled into one:
avatar magical blood pact attack set
avatar blood pact ward +skill set
elemental siphon +skill set

want me to list perfect gearsets for each?

Whoops, thanks. Gonna clean up my BLU list in a minute here as well.

Thief

Gear Sets

Idle (Movement Speed)
TP Sets (at least more than one accuracy-dependent set; I use three)
Feint Set (a 4th TP set; also to be used when 'flashed')
WS Sets
-Unstacked Dancing Edge &/or Evisceration
-TA+DE, SA+DE &/or TA+EV, SA+EV
-Low and high acc versions ideally for each of the above sets
-Sa & Ta + (Mandalic Stab, Mercy Stroke (if applicable), Shark Bite)
-Account for Assassin's Charge optimally (not important actually)
TP set variance depending on sub
SA & TA
-Ideally varying based on # of haste buffs (prolly too complex)
Ranged Accuracy
-Ranged Acc / eva hybrid for solo
Max Evasion
Utsu: Ni Build (Max haste, then max evasion)
TH4-fulltime (for the paranoid; this would prolly require a separate spellcast)
BQ Ring Sets for tanking, keeping hp at set levels
Subtle Blow Sets (more than one if possible)

Necessary Functions
I haven't used spellcast yet. Not sure what to write here. Ideally, macro in each of the sets above whenever called for (some of this will be impossible to be done automatically and should be done manually). But I would imagine this is a given.

Optional Functions

Full Eva for 1st part of Ichi cast, end with Utsu:Ni haste set
Lightning Ring for Lightningsday (and Fire for Fire's?)

Starter Sets
Example - Idle (Movement Speed)

Code:

input /eqiup ammo "Fire Bomblet";
input /equip neck "Love Torque";
input /equip waist "Speed Belt";
input /equip head "Anwig Salade"
input /equip ear2 "Suppanomimi";
input /equip ring2 "Toreador's Ring";
input /equip feet "Strider Boots";
input /equip back "Cerberus Mantle +1";
input /equip ear1 "Brutal Earring";
input /equip ring1 "Rajas Ring";
input /equip body "Homam Corazza";
input /equip hands "Homam Manopolas";
//input /equip legs "Homam Cosciales";
input /equip legs "Skadi's Chausses";
input /echo ----<Walking Set: On :: Struttin>----;

Long ->

Spoiler: show

I don't know if anyone else does it like this but I always have a CURRENTSET variable which stores the set I am currently using and equips it on aftercast. In my macros I would put 1: //sc set FireDEF 2: //sc var set CURRENTSET FireDEF. Using it like that means I can stay in FireDEF gear and still WS in WS gear or Provoke in Enmity gear without having to press 16 macros.

**Argettio** · 2009-09-29 04:31

General features you would want to include:

Equiping ToAU ring full time in Salvage/assaults/nyzul
Different accuracy levels for TP/WS sets based on a var (then use increment Var rule to change through the levels)
Sets for when Aggressor (or any other acc buff is up)
Utsusemi set for every job (every one /NIN at some point)
Cancel plugin for sneak/invis/stoneskin/Utsusemi etc

I am sure there is more, but I can't think of them now.

This is what I used for WAR when I played, I tinkered with it until I believed it was as close to perfect as possible while having it easy-to-use. It incorporates the most common features a WAR would need and it can be as simple or as complex as you want it to be for swapping sets. I spent some time tinkering because I wasn't happy with any of the spellcast templates and I know a lot of others aren't happy either (the purpose of this thread). If you take any ideas from this and help others/yourself or have ideas to make this better (or easier to use), awesome.

Spellcast 2.30 is required for this to function.

WAR
Gear Sets:

Idle (take out dusk and switch in hermes)
Engaged (1-9 sets possible)
Raging Rush (1-9 sets possible)
King's Justice (1-9 sets possible)
Steel Cyclone (single set, no real need for more)
Enmity
Curing Waltz
MDB
Casting

Main Feature (optional... sort of)

Create variables that will change sets for TP/RR/KJ depending on Monster/Area and buffs active. If Monster/Area isn't a variable, will use Else variable.
Monster/area variables need to have 3 numbers, where the first signifies TP set, the second is RR set and third is KJ set. Example, 123 means use set 1 for TP, set 2 for RR, set 3 for KJ.
Easy to change in game and in script using spellcast commands. //sc var set "name" "change to"
For the most basic function, just aggressor up and down set for everything, remove monster/area variables and change Else variable to ### ###A. Where "A" signifies Aggressor active. If sets 1 are aggressor down and sets 2 are aggressor up, then you would just have 111 222A.
Default is just 4 buffs (aggressor, berserk, hasso, 2h), but I gave it the functionality to go up to 6 and change priority of buffs. Can easily alter to go up to 9

Other Functions

Idle set for running around. (best to take off dusk and put on hermes)
Casting Utsu/Tonko/Monomi will use casting set.
Enmity set for Provoke and Animated Flourish, if you are not within range to actually provoke, then it will not change gear.
If Fortitude Axe equipped, will equip Virtue Stones after every action. This means you can WS in other ammo like bomblet.
If you try to WS when you don't have enough TP, you won't switch gear until you do.
If you try to use Curing Waltz (I or II) and don't have enough TP, will not change to curing waltz set until you do.
If you use Tomahawk, it will equip your Tomahawk before you use it then re-equip whatever you had before. Same for Warcry and Warrior's Mask.
Since the most common WAR subs are NIN, SAM and DNC; and you are one of those three at least 99% of the time, it makes sense to cut back on macro real estate. What I've done is have my Ichi/Ni macros to work as Seigan/Third Eye when /SAM and Healing Waltz/Curing Waltz 2 when /DNC. Example; if you're /SAM and use your Utsusemi: Ichi macro, you will use Seigan automatically instead.

Optional

If you use Cancel Plugin, it's already set to use it for Monomi, Utsusemi and Spectral Jig. If you cast ichi over ichi, Cancel Plugin will not take off those shadows. If you do not, then change the CancelPlugin variable to 0.
If you use Unicorn Leggings, it's already set to use them for casting ninjitsu and TP (only if Aurum Sabatons are not currently equipped) when latent is active. If not, then change UnicornLeggings to 0.

since it will look messy in using code tags;

BRD

Gear sets:

"Idle" (refresh, regen, damage mitigation)
Debuff (CHR, singing, wind, m.acc)
Haste (haste/fast cast, inherit Idle set)
Haste Debuff (haste/fast cast, inherit Debuff set)
Buff
Fast Cast (-song casting time body and fast cast gear)
Stoneskin
Cure
HP down
(Melee)

Necessary Functions:
- Start each song cast in Fast Cast gear

Optional Functions:
- Ensure HP is low enough to activate JSE ring before starting a buff*
- Handle situations where Haste Debuff gear is desired (lower resist mobs, but lots to sleep/finale) versus Debuff. I think this is so subjective and situational, the Haste Debuff set would just be called explicitly by separate macros.

* This is a tricky one. You need HP to be < 76% before starting a cast, and you need to start the cast in Fast Cast/- Song cast time gear. But idling in an HP down set is not practical. I'll use myself as an example. I don't want to idle in Zenith legs, because I have Goliard. I want to idle in Marduk body for refresh, but it adds HP. And so on. Oh, and it's not like BLM where you can be in Zenith head and it still "counts"; it's current HP.

I guess you could equip HP down gear > wait as little time as possible > equip FC gear > start cast. The question is whether the wait needs to be long enough (for Spellcast/the game to not consistently fuck up and half-swap) that it just about negates the purpose of this exercise.

Best solution i can think of would be to just have a windower macro for your HP down gear and just hit the HP down before you cast..... thats what i do at least

**Redshift** · 2009-09-29 11:32

You can check for latent, if latent active then sing song and switch gear accordingly. If latent is not active, cancel song, change to hp down gear, play the song again after some time (1 second?)

It works pretty good if you set it to be job-specific so you can use a set of spells as triggers for day/night sets which are a big deal for me.

Yes, that does indeed scare the hell out of me. It's a perfect example of why I want to do this, it seems like every time someone posts some SpellCast code is has some new, horribly wrong method of doing things in it. It looks like you're not even using SpellCast's gear-sets? You use a command action to execute a windower macro stored in a text file to swap gear? Why?

**ringthree** · 2009-09-29 11:54

I just wanted to thank Deimos for doing this. It is something that the non-programmers of us really needed. While I appreciate all of the work that everyone does around and with Spellcast it did get a bit esoteric at times.

I have mentioned before how inaccessible Spellcast can be to the "rest of us" and I think this is a great start toward it's universality. I would still love to see a GUI that would let people put in their parameters and it would spit out good XML, but I understand that it might be a pretty big undertaking.

Can also split Buff set into two, one for songs where you're capped, and one for when you're not (March). The 'capped' set allows you to keep a few desirable pieces while the ''uncapped' goes all-out for skill. At least that's the way I've been doing it recently. Just a suggestion.
