.. adding on to ndmobeer post ..

Could you clarify how the "MinimumHealKitSuccessChance" in Advance Options relates to his post?

Thanks

I do better at spelling ..



Right now, healing with kits works like this:

First, the difficulty of using a particular kit type (based on skill bonus) is checked. If that chance of success is less than MinimumHealKitSuccessChance, that kit type is ruled out.

If no kit types work with a usable chance of success, the next manner of healing is selected (spells in magic mode, potions/foods in melee/missile/peace mode).

If there are usable kit types, among those, the kit type with the highest restoration bonus is used.

Thus, you could add peerless and renegade kits (for instance) to consumables, and it would use peerless most of the time, unless the heal was difficult.

1) With my wand out debuffing a mob I need to heal I drop out of casting mode and start using healing kits... It takes longer to use the kits than to cast the heal, and has lead to my untimely death several times. Eventhough the healing kit is better (although I am not sure how) intuitively it seems I should cast my level 7 (or 8 if I untweak my casting differential) instead of using a healing kit.



I will likely add a true/false option like, "Use healing kits in magic mode".

OK .. As a added note. (Example that happen the other night ...) I have a melee tank sword toon, who has no War, Life, or Critter trained. He is not able to do any healing with a magic spelled cast. Yet .. He started pulling out his wand a number of times trying to heal himself when his health slipped below 40% while stocked with healing kits. Since there was no Life magic to use, he just stood there with wand in hand (not good in the Thug dungeon for the Dark armor). Of course I dived for the keyboard to manually recover .. both him and my sanity.


The "MinimumHealKitSuccessChance" was set to 95 at the time.

His Healing Skill is buffed to 461


Why was he bring out that wand ..?


Thanks for the info!

Do you have healing potions/foods in your consumables list?

It sounds like you were in a situation where you chance of successfully healing with a kit was too low.

VI, i've noticed since the last update that my melee has started doing the stamina dance again with his weapon/wand.

Was that sarcastic?


If it was, im talking about the thing it does where where your stamina gets to the set point to restam, it goes into peace mode to pull out your wand, while in peace mode your stam goes up a few points, so it puts the wand away, goes into attack mode and takes a swing, stam drops back down, it goes into peace mode, etc, etc......


I had assumed you had fixed this a few patches (VTank, not AC) ago as I had noticed it stopped doing it. It started back doing it with your updated healing thingy patch.

ball an hour or so after VI made that statement, there was a new release. So i'm taking her as serious about seeing something that was done that needed to be adjusted back.

I am also having trouble with Virindi Tank trying to pull out a wand to heal my melee when I really only want him to heal with kits and potions. Should I adjust the MinimumHealKitSuccessChance variable to something low, like 30%? How do I make sure he uses a potion when the heal success rate check fails? Is there an option to completely disregard wand use altogether? Because that's what I want. I don't want my melee putting his shield away under any circumstances. If there is no such option, can you add one?

Thanks for the great plugin.
