That "swap weapon if you have 10% or less TP" thing that someone posted for BST could be a good rule. Unless you just started fighting, or just whiffed a WS, that should work for COR. And hey, if you lose 7% TP, oh well.

Edit: I think this is a better idea than basing it on SJ, because you might be TPing/not TPing in various SJs, depending on the situation.

RDM should macro AF hat and Relic body into the beginning of every spell.

Precasting fastcast gear is an option in every jobs spellcast.

Definitely shouldn't for every spell. It's absolutely a good idea for longer spells, but short spells like barspells are completely pointless, and anything that casts within 1-2 secs, i'd honestly rather just keep refresh gear on for, instead of risking losing 1-2 mp if you get your tic before switching back. 1-2 mp obviously isn't much, but it is more useful than saving a tenth of a second off cast time, for a spell that doesn't really matter how fast you cast it (spikes, dia, sneak/invis, etc). Also using different gear for pre/mid cast with spellcast, without a delay can sometimes result in part of your midcast sets not being equiped, so that should be considered as well.

Yup, that's one of my main concerns with putting fast cast/haste gear before every spell. It often screws the midcast sets. And I can never be sure that the bonuses from the enfeebling set have been completely applied when using fast cast set as precast. Thus, I prefer to use it only for stat insensitive spells and some enhancing magic.

SpellCast can do rules based on a spell's casting time, I think it's good to use this to only do the Fast Cast swap on longer spells. I also haven't tested, do you need to add a casting delay along with this swap, or will it work if you do the swap with no delay? It makes it even worse if swapping to Fast Cast gear forces you to add a delay before starting to cast.

For short spells like Para1/Slow1 adding fast cast causes me problems because it mixes with the MND enfeebling set, since the spell's casting time is so short. It seems like it anyway. And since I always return to my idle set after a spell finishes it seems like its swapping to that set before the effects of the MND enfeebling set have been applied yet.

I don't really have any delays because I don't know how to use them correctly... it's not as simple as /wait X unfortunately :/

I didn't see this while I looked through here; but here is a WS cancel if your target is out of range for a weapon skill.

<if commandprefix="/weaponskill|/ws">
	<if mode="OR" advanced='%spelltargetdistance &gt; 3.9' tplt="100">
		<action type="cancelspell" />
		<action type="return" />
</if>

You can change the "3.9'" to "15.0" or whatever range it is for ranged weapon skills.

I'm sure someone could also add some <elseif></elseif> into it to check for melee ws on RNG (if your main target check is at 15.0'), or whatever, if you're into that sort of thing.

True, and I was probably exaggerating for effect.

I pre-cast with fastcast gear on nukes, some buffs, cure, status cures etc.

I used to do it with things like phalanx and I did notice in places like dynamis that I wouldn't get the mid cast gear equiped in time.

Because of that I never did it with enfeebles as I didn't want to risk landing them with weak gear. The simple solution would be 'if the spellcasting time is greater than X seconds, precast your fast cast gear'

Edit: I think this is a better idea than basing it on SJ, because you might be TPing/not TPing in various SJs, depending on the situation.

If you are referring to the code I wrote, there is a variable that stops it ever chancing weapon, so if you are in a situation where you don't want to swap then you set the var to 0 and it will never swap, no matter what your TP is.

You could add a sub job check if you wish. Spellcasts greatest strength is also its greatest weakness.

It does what the code says, no matter what... This means you need to write rules that either cover every possible situation or you give the user some control via vars.

Even if you have 99% of situations covered by rules, there will still be 1% of the time when spellcast will do the 'wrong thing', and often the 1% you haven't got a rule for is a life and death moment.

[Arcanesoul]

What do you mean it doesn't need as much enhancing? Phalanx tiers are in 10 skill increments. You need Argute Gown, Scholar's Pants, Enhancing Torque, Augmenting Earring, and a +7 Enhancing Fay Staff to hit 300 exactly (without merits). The only other options for SCH are a +3 augmented belt from ACP and the Merciful Cape.

WHM (or any other job locked into a healing position) should have a way to grade out +MP gear as they consume it.

Eh, you're right. I forget about augmented items. The extra items once you reach the tier below for Phalanx are necessary to hit higher numbers for en-spell which is why I said that. I'd completely forgotten about the fay staff.

I've been using SC for a while now and tried many different ways from simple to very complicated. In the past i've found i've overcomplicated SC scripts just because I want to get a really difficult minor gear swap to work just becuase its tough to do and i get satisfaction out of working this shit out! I recently re-made a lot of my SC scripts for the new version and found myself reverting to more simple set ups with more control over what i wanted, rather than excessive rules.

There are lots of different ways you can do anything and everyone will approach it differently, so the main thing is for you to understand how your SC works so you can get it doing what you need. In many instances that can mean keeping it simple!

For example customise your current sets with variables if you don't want to use detailed situational rules and you can have a fairly straight forward script you can adjust to whatever you are doing at that time.

Alla with some thing useful on it....

Fair play to this guy, he has made a hell of a WAR xml, which could be edited to work for any melee job.

Just wanted to leave a quick note - I've been really busy at work the last few days, so I haven't had much time to update this thread. However, the reason I'm so busy is because tomorrow morning I leave for three weeks in Japan and Hong Kong. This is going to involve quite a bit of time on planes and trains, and I'll have my laptop along with a copy of this thread and all the SpellCast docs. So hopefully a large amount of the work should get done on my trip and I'll be able to post some initial versions for people to pick over soon, either when I'm back or from one of my hotels.

Thanks for all the input so far, lots of great information.

o.o;

if you ever get this completed, let me know and ill bundle it up with the plugin some.

o.o;

if you ever get this completed, let me know and ill bundle it up with the plugin some.

Oh good, you're still alive. :b

Having it bundled with SpellCast itself would be extremely cool, that's definitely extra motivation for me, thanks.

I didn't see this while I looked through here; but here is a WS cancel if your target is out of range for a weapon skill.

<if commandprefix="/weaponskill|/ws">
	<if mode="OR" advanced='%spelltargetdistance &gt; 3.9' tplt="100">
		<action type="cancelspell" />
		<action type="return" />
</if>

You can change the "3.9'" to "15.0" or whatever range it is for ranged weapon skills.

I'm sure someone could also add some <elseif></elseif> into it to check for melee ws on RNG (if your main target check is at 15.0'), or whatever, if you're into that sort of thing.

I have used this and advise against it. You will more often find yourself unable to WS on large mobs than you will find yourself losing TP on smaller mobs. I would suggestion something higher like 5+.

God that would be amazing...

Hey Aikar, is Azaril dead? LOL

The pld xml should also contian a function for when sentinel is active it uses your max haste set for enmity spells. Also I use 3 xml's for pld because I'm not totally sure how to write the vairables. I have one thats for /rdm when I don't want swap out of my pdt/shield set for bind/blind/sleep/grav/dispel unless reprisal and/or sentinel is active.. I could combine 2 of them and keep a seperate one for DI.
