Confused about Priority option for multicurse

[mixels]

Hi, I am wondering, what does the priority option for multicurse do? I was under the assumption that it should auto target the unit matching the priority designated for the purpose of casting the curse. But it, erm, doesn't seem to do this reliably. That is, the multicurse command will oftentimes get stuck just repeat casting the same spell on the same enemy, even when other enemies in combat are not debuffed with that curse.

I'm not sure I understand the function of this option well enough to know if this is a bug or not lol.

Can you post what macro you were using?

it should choose a new target each time based on your filters and priority yes

[mixels]

Sure. I am using SuperMacro, and the LUA Extension feature is invoking the Cursive function.

function DoCursesLow()
  if not Cursive:Multicurse("Curse of Agony", "HIGHEST_HP_RAID_MARK", {"warnings","resistsound","expiringsound",refreshtime=2}) then
    if not Cursive:Multicurse("Corruption", "HIGHEST_HP_RAID_MARK", {"warnings","resistsound","expiringsound",refreshtime=2}) then
      if not Cursive:Multicurse("Immolate", "HIGHEST_HP_RAID_MARK", {"warnings","resistsound","expiringsound",refreshtime=2}) then
      end
    end
  end
end

Pardon the likely mistakes with the options array. I'm struggling to figure out the right way to pass those values lol.

Need to pass a value for each option like
{warnings=1,resistsound=1,expiringsound=1,refreshtime=2}

Your macro works fine for me though if I shorten it to

/script if not Cursive:Multicurse("Curse of Agony", "HIGHEST_HP_RAID_MARK", {}) then if not Cursive:Multicurse("Corruption", "HIGHEST_HP_RAID_MARK", {}) then Cursive:Multicurse("Immolate", "HIGHEST_HP_RAID_MARK", {}) end end

to work without SuperMacro.

Is it repeat casting on your current target? You might have an addon that is not forwarding the second parameter in CastSpellByName which is what superwow uses to pick a target

[mixels]

Yes, it's repeat casting on my current target, but it only does that if not every enemy engaged has that curse. Like in my example, if I'm fighting a Trog Warrior and a Trog Shaman, it will spam Curse of Agony repeatedly on the same enemy UNLESS I manually target both enemies and apply it. In that case, it will then fall through to the second curse.

Do you know of any addons that can have that effect?

Thanks for the clarification on options, I appreciate it!

Oh are you in the new zones? Someone else said cursive wasn't displaying mob lists properly there.

It relies on the UNIT_MODEL_CHANGED event to learn about nearby mobs and I think for some reason doesn't happen in that zone. Manually targeting a unit will also add it to the known mobs list.

If you don't see a mob in the cursive mob list it won't be eligible for multicurse generally

[mixels]

No, not new zones. I've seen this behavior in Durotar, Silverpine Forest, Ragefire Chasm, etc.

The mob list is working. I see the mobs that are target eligible for Cursive. It's very helpful because I can manually target them from that lol, but it would be lovely if I could find out what's wrong with multicurse instead. :)
