In my opinion the plugin needs more priorty towards the healing others in fellow. It seems that LifeTank waits too long or doenst follow up enough on the healing even when I have the health bar turned up to like 98%. Would be kewl to add a Mana Infusion option too. Don't get me wrong the healing fellow works but doesnt seem to work quick enough.

I've noticed that AC is very slow in updating the status of the other members of the fellowship. I suspect that Lifetank does not know that someone is hurt because the server hasn't sent that information to your PC. Then you need to include the delay while lifetank waits to finish what it is currently doing, retarget and wind up for a heal.

Check and see how quickly lifetank responds after the you get the report that a fellow member is hurt.

it's not ac or decal. eltank fellowship helper was very good in keeping fellows healed/stamed. lifetank is much slower at it.

I've had it where on fellow screen gf was near dead (and that was accurate as her PC is next to mine) and lifetank went to loot a dead critter rather than do a heal sad

exactly my point this comes down to the programs coding for priorty. it needs to be stepped up to heal first b4 looting and to check more frequently who needs healing.

Agreed. During a quest for some reason it picked a person to heal who was near full health rather than the one who was near dead and then chose to loot first.

Any thoughts from the current devs for Life Tank regarding fellow heal?

They don't have the time. When posed with handing the project to people that do...no response.

I made some *untested* changes to the way it works. In short, LT only checks for fellowship heals when the macro is idle. It'll now check in combat and looting mode too.

However, healing yourself as well as a few other actions are a higher priority than fellowship heal.

I would think [vitals management self] would be the only thing ahead of keeping buff buddy alive

(honestly, I don't care about the fellow, I want, and others too I'm sure, LT to keep my buff buddy alive)

Your buff buddy can't heal himself with LTXI or something? If he's running decal I don't see why it can't toss itself a healing spell?

I would use buffbuddy to twink lower level chars with a high level mage. It is very awkward to carry a good amount of potions for a few hours of hunting.

Can this be installed on top of what is already there or do I need to remove it first then install?

Remove old, reinstall new. Always do this (for LifeTank.)

Sounds like Life tank trying to be a el-tank-want-a-b-e

Suggest you keep to your strengths, clean up the massive bugs,
and don't try and be an everything utility the way el-tank was.

While I can't speak for the other team members, that's not my focus. The problem is that fellow helper wasn't responsive enough to be useful. That issue has been fixed. You can still run perfectly fine without it.

I'm not going to add navigation support, buff botting, etc., on the other hand. I do feel an obligation to fix/improve existing features, and will continue to do so, regardless of whether it's combat related.

Tiviee, let me expand your imagination. life tank can be used for more than just combat macro. it's good for auto looting, detecting majors, rares, weapons, armor, etc. Since Paraduck fixed the fellow heal it works very well for heal support in fellows for questing or xp. Tiviee if you learned to use the life tank and read the manual you will see the many things it can do.

you read the manuals, it worked just fine for me without reading the manuals. Isn't it being greedy now that you have your maxed out lvl 275 characters to still want more and still get more than everyone else in the game, when will it be enough?
