Code: Select all

#turbo
Sub Main
/declare robecasts local
/varset robecasts 0
/press i
/if n $char(buff,"Barrier of Force")==0
{
:epic
/cast item "Staff of the Four"
/varset robecasts 0
}
:loop
/if n $char(mana,max)-$char(mana,cur)>=$char(mana,regen)
{
/cast item "Mana Robe"
/varadd robecasts 1
/if varadd=13 /goto :epic
/goto :loop
}
/if robecasts!=0 /goto :epic
/press i
/return

Does the inventory need to be open to cast an item in the inventory?

With this setup, the Wizard will never drop the epic buff, instead, recast the epic at 14hp's left on the buff. Now, when the wizard casts his epic, he still has FT3 on him during the 15-second epic casttime.

However, will I need to put /pause's into this?

/if varadd=13 /goto :epic

WTF if this line supposed to mean? Shouldn't you use this?

Code: Select all

/if n @robecasts==13 /goto :epic

Nope

What if the wizard was hit during a kite and the Rune isn't at full power?
Maybe a combination of fixed count and dynamic checks of the rune still being up would be a good idea.

However, will I need to put /pause's into this?

Yes. The command is /delay though.

A few things... kudos for working on this, it shouldn't be in the Depot, it should be in Macro Help, Cast time on the robe is 3 seconds, last I checked, the Staff had an instant cast time, what's the 16s delay for?
There's no safety for interrupts in the macro...
Again, kudos for working on it, but keep works in progress in the Help forum.

Interrupt safety isn't really needed as you won't do this when being attacked or otherwise having the chance of getting interrupted - in this case I would opt for keeping it simple and assuming one is stationary and not influenced by surroundings while doing this.

Staff of the Four is 15 sec cast time

http://lucy.allakhazam.com/item.html?id=1606
Mana Robe is 3 sec as mentioned.

Alternate way to handle casting would be to use the SpellCast.inc or

Code: Select all

/cast item "Barrier of Force"
:RuneCastCheck
if $char(casting)=="TRUE" /goto RuneCastCheck

Not tested but should work.

two small mistakes

Code: Select all

/if [color=red]n[/color] robecasts[color=red]==[/color]13 /goto :epic
/goto :loop
}
/if [color=red]n[/color] robecasts!=0 /goto :epic

Heres my mana robe mac, i have the wand that casts force shield from time, for you wizards with out it just change the Wand of Impenetrable Force to "Staff of the Four" and the Force Shield to Barrier of Force and it will work for you too.

Code: Select all

Sub Main 
  :loop 

  /if n $char(mana,pct)==100 /goto :end 
  /if $char(buff,"Force Shield")==0 /cast item "Wand of Impenetrable Force" 
  :runewait 
  /if $char(casting)==TRUE /goto :runewait  
  /cast item "Mana Robe" 
  :robewait 
  /if $char(casting)==TRUE /goto :robewait 
  /goto :loop 
  :end 
/return

edit: i suck at spelling.

That's a good one, and it can easily be modified to work with Shield of Auras.

Thanks. It was my first, and I just looked at some already made and then looked straight from the manual for variable names. I hope to become quite proficient at writing these, but I also want to play the game some too. =)
