If you're using
spellcast then there are a few things you can do.
A good place to start, and verify what works with your version, is:
SpellCast Variables (windower.net) %HPP should work but might require the "
advanced" method
Here's an example I found from a quick google:
someone's BRD or BLM xml wrote:
<if Advanced='%HPP < 76'>
but there are lots of different versions of
spellcast, so I dunno if that will work for all of them.
(see link above) ----
But you don't need
spellcast to fulltime
Medicine Ring (speaking from my own spellcastless experience^^). It just makes it way easier.
I know you didn't ask for fulltime, but if you're using
spellcast, it's just too easy...
Here's an example specific to you, Aaralyn!
* (it's kind of a crude/quick tossing gear together kinda thing, I'm sure you can optimize beyond this) Standing gear: 856hp (so after-cast, also)
Templar / Numinous / _________ / Hedgehog
Electrum / Beak / Antivenom / Loquac.
Noble's / Zenith / Serket / Ether
Blue Cape / Jungle / Blessed / Blessed
Curing gear: 1139hp (mid-cast)
Templar / Numinous / _________ / Hedgehog
W.Turban / Promise / Insomnia / Loquac.
Noble's / Cobra / Tamas / Medicine
Intensify / Jungle / Vendor's / Blessed
This is
75.15% which is perfect, it keeps you
white but activates the ring! When the spell is done, it would snap you back to
856/856hp, 100% so there's no issue with auto-regen or other people curing you.
This method
(raising HP mid-cast) also makes it easy to pre-charge a
Solace Holy, or if you interrupt/prevent your "
aftercast"
(open equip or chat, for example) then you're ready for a
1139 Devotion!
** (284 instead of 214, so +70mp) *I hope my math is right, and I dunno if you have all this gear, but I did some homework and it looks like you do. The pieces you might not have, should be pretty cheap. **Some people call self-cure-devo a waste; others enjoy inflating the MP given to others -- I don't care which of these the reader is, but it's there if you want it :)
