Trying to check for a debuff on mob

[aspire2008]

Would this condition be correct to check for the debuff Shocking Vortex effect on a mob, as I only want to cast the spell if the mob is not debuffed with it.


If[!${Target.Buff[Shocking Vortex Effect].ID},TRUE,FALSE]


Do detrimental debuff spells work for Target.Buff?

I believe there is a BuffsPopulated bool you can also use, since the delay from checking initially and the lag always sh showing false. I have had mixed results with it, I forget exactly what it is

I have mixed results with BuffsPopulated... I just issue a 1/2 second delay anytime I change targets if I'm going to be checking for a buff/stacking situation.

But yeah, without some sort of delay that will always ring true the moment you target something.

Is that condition correct though?

I doubt I will be switching targets much. The only time I can see it being useful is when Claw refreshes Vortex and the mob is already debuffed with Vortex, I don't want to waste time casting a shitty dps spell over again. Or incase you have more than 1 wizard in group casting Vortex as well.

If you have max wizard synergy and a group that takes advantage of it, then casting vortex all the time is quite useful. Otherwise, yes... You can check for buffs or debuffs that same way.

I wasn't planning to use any condition until this afternoon, til I read this:

shocking vortex duration | EverQuest Forums


Then tonight I just read this lol:


Defiler's Synergy | EverQuest Forums

and found Evoker's Synergy works exactly like Ancient Hedgewizard Brew or enchanter Reiterate line.

So it does cause Synergy to crit, I guess I won't use that condition after all.


Keep going back and forth on this, as new info is popping up.
