A melee... when going from wand to weapon gets hit alot. Why not make the melee pull a shield FIRST then freakin heal himself. By the time he gets out of magic mode he is left with like 1/2 health or less... then tried to heal in peace mode and gets hit even more...


If a shield is pulled before attempting to heal... it will fix this.


So please fix this crap its getting very annoying

Try asking nice vice bitchin. Thes people who maintin lifetank do so solely out of the kindness of their hearts.

I don't use Lifetank with a melee , but can't you just uncheck spells and check just heal kits under Macro > options > vitals ?

So it will only use heal kits.

And as a melee , you should have a shield out anyway or ?

im sayin when going from buffin.. to melee mode... in that time u get hit alot... when when tryin to heal with a kit ur almost dead.... why not make it pull a shield first

I think Life Tank might equip you weapon first is because AC will automatically unequip your casting device, making it a two step process thus putting you in combat mode quicker.


If Life Tank was to equip your shield before your weapon, Life Tank would first need to unequip your casting device, then equip your shield, because of this the time saving would be minimal before your shield is on.

ZOMG I DON'T PAY YOU ANYTHING AND YOU HAVE TO FIX IT JUST FOR ME! AHHHHHH


If ya don't like it, uninstall LifeTank and use your fingers


If you can do better write yer own plugin


Now sack up and stop crying


I wonder how many of these problems would/could be solved if people were forced to actually RTFM for the plugin before they were allowed to post or ask in general how do I make it not kill me...

or.. how about people actually help them improve the plugin that they are maintaining...

 

-----signature-----

or even better... how about melees stop trying to play mage


muhahahahahaah


dogs laying down with cats its anarchy!

I wish I could get my hands on the code of such a wonderful plug-in as "LifeTank" to improve it. I been doing development for years. But alast I can't blame the author for keeping it to themselves.


On the other hand, Decal development is totally volutary .. sometime painfully so. It makes you appreciate what they do for us .. for free. (.. or for donations.)


Now .. after 7 years, I have never considered a three step process of (1) put away the casting wand (2) pull out the shield (3) pull out the weapon ..


For me, it's a two stepper .. (1) put away the casting wand and pull out the weapon (2) then pull out the shield. I think there is a second of weakness before the shield is in place .. But my toon is totally wide open for damage while casting .. even with the Melee D on the casting wand. The Decal plug-ins are doing correctly as far as I'm concern.

I do not know how you would do this easily. When you are in magic mode, you are wielding a two handed weapon (e.g. wand). You can not equip a shield. You only have two possibilities here:

1) Drop out of magic mode into peace mode. Equip a melee weapon.

2) Equip a melee weapon. This is time consuming to swap your wand for a melee weapon and switch from magic mode to melee mode.


Once having done option 1 or 2, you can equip a shield.


There are no good solutions here. If you drop into peace mode, equip a weapon, equip a shield. You going to get bit.


If you go the other route, it very time consuming. You are going to get bit.


I suppose the authors could program the various options into lifetank with chugging, healing and using magic heal spells. The basic problem is that your character is too weak.
