Is there a fairly simple way to detect if a debuff on a mob belongs to my character? I typically use the simple line below to determine when to recast DoT's. However it obviously doesn't work well in a raiding situation because other people may cast the same DoT.

/if (${Target.PctHPs}>=25 && !${Target.Buff[Sunshock].ID} && ${Cast.Ready[10]}) /call MQ2Cast "Sunshock" gem10

Any better ways to handle this?

Great question.

you may have to insert a /delay 3 after you target the NPC or PC in order for the macro to read any of the debuff/dots landed on the target. Buffs/dots/debuffs do not show up instantly like it once did.

I ended up just creating timers for the debuffs based on the spell ID and Target ID

Here is how I would write the above line; I think the issue with the original line is;
Because I cannot /echo this line with the "!" and get the desired output, without the "!" the line comes up "NULL" and should be changed to;
... or depending if your looking for a TRUE argument drop the "!" from the line.

I also changed "/call MQ2Cast "Sunshock" gem10" to "/cast 10" because its a shorter line and Everquest does the same exact thing and one less thing the macro has to do. Hope this helps.

Maybe for additional clarity on the question. This is specifically for casting dots that stack on a mob in a raid scenario with multiple druids casting.

I want the macro to cast the dot if the same dot cast by 'me' is not already on the mob.

@Dewey2461, I played around with Cached Buff but couldn't get the result I wanted, but perhaps what I tried was wrong. Maye this is why you mentioned timers based on Spell ID and Target ID.

@Caj, no issue on the delay the macro line works fine for casting and no issue with the check in a single Druid scenario also specifying the spell will force it to be memorized if it isn't already.

Im pretty sure thats how I wrote the line the way you wanted.
if target has more than 25% hp and the target does not have Sunshock and gem 10 is ready then /cast 10

fyi, you can do that with any spell that shows up in the target "Effects" spell window.

checking if a spell is memorized can be done a couple of ways by presaving groups of spell lists and then recall the list by "/memspellset name-of-spell-list" the second way is to use the "/memorize" option, something like: /if (!${Me.Gem[Sunshock]}) /memorize "Sunshock" 10
