it can't be what 6 bucks a year to keep the the name?


I could pitch in 12 bucks to keep it for the next 2 years if that's what it takes.


Lifetank X, and VTank cast buffing in an order that makes less logical sense than XI.


Lifetank XI is the best buffing program that (did) currently function.


[EDIT]

It appears as though Auth Server 3 still functions. I can get the plugin to run if I use that to authenticate.

This is what it says when I change the default damage type. Any clues?

[LTx] [Engine] Could not find valid Default lvl 3 War and/or lvl 2 Vuln spells for Bludgeon default damage. Please select another one or the macro may not work correctly.

[LTx] [Engine] Could not find valid Default lvl 3 War and/or lvl 2 Vuln spells for Pierce default damage. Please select another one or the macro may not work correctly.

I bought all of the scrolls. It still shoots acid 2, no matter what damage type or level I choose.

What's wrong with the order, and why does the order matter at all? If you are letting some of your buffs lapse before rebuffing, you are already doing things wrong...

If I had a choice, I would prefer my item buffs to be cast last. Specifically my weapon buffs.


I have items that backup my creature and life, but not my weapon or shield.


And I do like to hunt right to the end of my buffs.


And I also would prefer to have creature buffs done first. That way my skill is higher for the subsequent buffs.


This is the order they are done in LTXI, and the way I prefer. Nothing really “wrong” with the order of the other two, but it is not an order I prefer.


And there is nothing wrong with letting buffs drop. There are places in the game where you must learn to fight with item creature buffs because you will likely be without them if you solely rely on them being caste.

VTank does it the way you say. It does:

Creature mastery, focus, self
Creature buffs
Regens
Prots
Armor banes/imp
Item spells on weapons and shields

This order is pretty much the same as all other tank/buffing plugins that existed prior to VTank being written.

does virindi tank loot?


Will it function well with my auto relogger?


Is there an auto fellow command for virindi tank?


IMO Give all ur coding to someone to continue the production of the plugin. buy a cheap domain name 6 bucks a year or get it donated. and teach one of us hwo to update the xml's on it. Bam its hands free for u.

I was unaware that VTank did indeed buff in that order. The group I play with each week looked and tested every buffing program that currently functions.


I myself did not test VTank. Another did and when I investigated to learn more about it, it seemed not as customizable at LTXI (add/remove specific spells for example that I don’t see in the user guide for VTank). It just goes to show you should trust but verify.


None of the plugins seemed to function reliably and buff in the order I mentioned. There were challenges we faced varied with each plugin we looked at with the exception of LTXI. For example, Alinco while customizable seems to stop in the middle of buffing and must be forced to continue. LTX buffs in a different order than LTXI (But I cannot quote to which version of LTX I tested). I was told (but did not verify) that VTank had the same routine.


Thank you for the heads up about the order. Knowing what I know now I will try it out Vtank myself, since it is likely that our group will have to move away from LTXI.

That part is mostly correct. You cannot change which creature spells are cast, but you can change prots and banes.
