How would I change spellcast to equip different gear for TP phase while I have aftermath up from my Twashtar?
<if buffactive="Aftermath: Lv.1|Aftermath: Lv.2|Aftermath: Lv.3">
<equip set="AftermathTP" />
</if>
I'm not sure if that's actually what the buff's name is, but it would be something like that. Can add a when="" rule in the equip line if you need. Can also name your Aftermath set whatever you like, just using that as an example.
EDIT: Found the buff name. It's Aftermath: Lv.1, Aftermath: Lv.2, and Aftermath: Lv.3. Edited the rule to reflect it.
EDIT#2: Believe "Aftermath" by itself would work as well, lol.
<equip set="AftermathTP" />

Aftermath didn't work, I changed it to Aftermath*
Well it works, but its kinda delayed. it won't change the gear right after the WS, I need to use a JA or spell to get the gear change to proc.

If you run Autoexec, you could probably create a rule there to have it swap gear as soon as the effect pops up. Since the effect isn't being applied until after the WS action takes place, that's why you need to perform another action before it reads Aftermath as active.
How would you do that? Never used Autoexec
Sadly, I am not familiar with Autoexec either :(
But I hear great things about it, just haven't delved into it myself yet.

I know im not the only one whos curious. What exactly are you changing when aftermath is up that you dont normally wear? If you have a good idea i might totally steal it :P
reason it isn't working right away in the spellcast is because the effect isn't on yet when it's running the check, so until you perform an action it won't register the aftermath.
The way I would do it, is setup a general aftercast/engaged rule that looks for the aftermath buff to set the proper gear when engaging and after all actions. Then, setup a separate rule just for Rudra's Storm apart from your normal WS rules that has a default aftercast into your aftermath gear. If you miss the WS, your next action by the earlier rules will go ahead and switch you back to regular TP gear anyways.
(I too am curious with what you are changing for Twashtar aftermath. Only thing I could possibly even think of would be more attack to take advantage of the double damage, but what are you giving up for it?)

for sch when i activate sublimation it does the same thing. i usually just hit my macro twice and it will see the charging sublimation buff and put on my charging/hp gear.
Something like this:
and later:
modify set names as needed, but you get the idea of what's going on. First rule puts you in the correct TP gear after every action, second rule makes sure you go into aftermath gear after Rudra's Storm.
Code
<if status="engaged">
<if buffactive="Aftermath*">
<action type="equip" when="Engaged|aftercast" set="AftermathTP"/>
</if>
<else>
<equip when="engaged|aftercast" set="NormalTP" />
</elseif>
</if>
and later:
Code
<if spell="Rudra's Storm">
<action type="equip" when="precast" set="Rudra" />
<action type="equip" when="aftercast" set="AftermathTP" />
</if>

I'll post here since I didn't realise there was two spellcast links.
To use AutoExec to do it you place:
in AutoExec.xml it should work, the minute you loose the Aftermath it will equip the set of your choosing.

Code
<autoexec> <register event="losebuff_Aftermath*">sc set NOAFTERMATHSET</register> </autoexec>

Code xml
<register event="gainbuff_Aftermath*" silent="true">sc set Aftermath 1; /ma "Dancing Chains" <t></var> <register event="losebuff_Aftermath*" silent="true">sc set Aftermath 0; /ma "Dancing Chains" <t></register>
Code xml
<if spell="Dancing Chains"><!-- Insert your method for handling idle/engaged gear here. The idea behind this spell is to force gear changes for AutoExec and any situation where your gear did not swap properly due to lag, open menus, etc. --></if> <if spell="autoset"><!--put your normal idle|aftercast and engaged|aftercast rules here -->
Have a check when equipping your TP gear for whether the value of $Aftermath is 0 or 1.

This is my THF.xml, what would I do exactly on this to fix for aftermath?
I've never used autoexec before.
I don't see why you don't just use the Aftermath TP set for both TP sets...I don't get the point of wearing Rapparee harness just to use AF3+1 hands in this case.
Use it that way because using SA or TA would change off AF3 hands so I lose the better TH proc rate. And I'm too lazy to spam a macro everytime I used either.
Change line 104 to
Delete your current aftermath rule, then add this:
The AutoExec rules go in a seperate file in your AutoExec folder.
Code xml
<elseif status="engaged"> <if advanced='"$Aftermath" = "1"> <equip when="engaged|aftercast" set="AftermathTP" /> </if> <else> <equip when="engaged|aftercast" set="AftermathTP" /> </else> </elseif>
Delete your current aftermath rule, then add this:
Code xml
<if spell="Dancing Chains"> <if advanced='"$Aftermath" = "1"'> <equip when="precast" set="AftermathTP" /> </if> <else> <equip when="precast" set="TP" /> </else> <cancelspell /> <return /> </if>

It will put you in your sublimation gear the second you activate it and keep you in it the entire time it's up no matter what you do.
im not too sure if that would coexist with the rules and sets that are currently in use. the i think it is supposed to work is that when its charging it puts on the charging set and and there is an almost identical set that uses a different <feet> for when sandstorm is up.
the set is from an ex friend of mine, and im not too sure what his sets looked like before i tinkered and added my gear to them.
first thing ill do is change the idle feet to desert boots and see if it works with sandstorm. then ill post the code to see if it needs adjustment.
(5 min later)
as i figured, everything works as intended, except for the double tap for the sublimation macro to change into sublimation set. here is the lines of code that need adjustment possibly:
basically there should be a way to simplify the item sets it think. not too sure how to do it.

This is surfacing more and more and is starting to become the new "thf has to killshot!!1!" rumor from like 2003. Has ANYONE seen actual data supporting this? I dont even know how this rumor got started.
The hands clearly state the 'enhances SA' is "Increases 'Sneak Attack' Damage" and has already been tested and a better version of AF+1 hands 15%agi for TA, just 20% and SA. I dont know where this "enhances TH proc rate" stuff comes from. Only thing i can think of is:
Person:"AF2 hands increase TH! So AF3 hands must enhance it somehow too!"
/person sees a TH proc twice in a row while wearing the hands
Person:"OMG it increases the rate!"
/person tells everyone AF3 enhances TH proc rate.
/everyone accepts it as cannon without ever questioning it
If there has been ANY data of any kind on this rumor I would love to see it. Im not being facetious. If this does work, i most certainly want to know about it as truth>ignorance, but i havent seen anything but random people just saying this. Not so much as an anecdote let alone hard, measured data.
If there is no data, i implore one of the many believers to test it.
