im just tossing up my spellcast for shadows casting and hoping someone might enlighten me if im doing any thing stupid




as you can see first i try to detect if i indeed wanna cast shadows (do i already have enough shadows? am i capable to cast at all?)
and thereafter I swap in some fastcast gear during the casting fast and back to the tp gear after casting

Wait, you can check for how many shadows are up? Is that new or have I just been doing it wrong this entire time?

They need to Make skill relevant again to Utsusemi. Used to be that not all shadows were wiped from AoEs.

That was the worst nerf ever.

Guess you just didn't know? Yes it can detect how many shadows are up.

This is what I use:
Code
	<if Spell="Utsusemi*">
		<equip when="precast" set="Haste" /> 
		<if spell="Utsusemi: Ichi" buffactive="Copy Image*" NotBuffActive="Silence|Mute|Omerta|Obliviscence">
			<if NotBuffActive = "Copy Image (3)|Copy Image (4+)">
				<midcastdelay delay = "2.5" />
				<cmd when = "midcast">cancel 66</cmd>
				<cmd when = "midcast">cancel 444</cmd>
			</if>
			<else>
				<cancelspell />
				<return />
			</else>
		</if>
	</if>


It should prevent casting (Cancelspell) unless you have 1 or 2 shadows up (looks at buffactive) and if you have silence and all that other obvious stuff so if you use the cancel plug-in it won't drop your shadows if you accidentally tried to cast and stuff.. etc etc
