Will v-tank cast a lower spell than level 7?

Yep, but it will try to cast the best spell it thinks you are able to cast.

The log option

/vt log spellcast on

will show which that is.

You can make it more or less conservative as to fizzle rate by changing the spelldiffexcessthreshold settings. Go here for more info on this: http://www.virindi.net/wiki/index.php/Virindi_Tank_FAQ#How_does_Virindi_Tank_know_what_level_of_spells_to_use.2C_and_how_can_I_change_it.3F

Because when you are in peace mode there is a minimum limit on the distance you can walk. Basically, no matter for how short a period of time you press the forward key, your char will walk a single step.

Now, if you set your waypoint distance really low and at the same time have your char in peace mode, they would otherwise get stuck in a loop of taking one step towards the waypoint, overshooting it, turning around, taking another step...etc.

I sure don't know about warm fuzzys for ltx/elgank folks but the force buff does come in handy when, for example:


you have like 20 minutes left on buff and you are heading out on a 30-120 minute quest. Sure don't want to stop just short and have to rebuff.

2.0, that is the distance below which the macro starts walking towards the target.
