Chaining / Timing Blade Dance, Tortoise Shell Etc

[Snowmane]

Another noob question from me

I have MCP buttons for blade dance, tortoise shell, advance warning and they do their job. The abilities go off when I need them, hurrah! (though no matter how many times I try to get "announce" working with advance warning it just refuses to announce)

What I was wondering is if

1) There is a way to get toons to announce when BD/TS etc end
2) can I setup some way of getting the end of BD to trigger TS and so on.

cheers!

Set them to use the announcement tab

Choose ability choose group raid etc then write something in the line eg bladdance is up done pretty much

The tab is pretty explanatory.

Here is a good tip, you can use for example

Cure on *target*

And it would say cure on name (the target it's cast on)

I use ACT to tell me when bladedance, tortoise shell etc go down. I don't know of a way to do it in game but I'd think it's certainly possible as Kannkor has had on screen messages for scripted things like this.

This will tell me when something starts. I'm looking for when it ends.


I had considered ACT, but I was wondering if there was anything more "integrated"
