Pet Auto HP Pouch

if you are in the middle of certain skills while getting hit it wont work; eg if i get hit while im casting octopus, 90% of the time autopot wont work however it works just fine if i get hit while casting air strike.

Let me elaborate on this more. It fails 100% of the time if you are casting anything that is not an attack. This includes Flash Jump, Booster, Battleship, Transform, Soul Arrow, etc. If you cast anything that does damage such as Cannon, Strafe, Demolition, Recoil Shot, Triple Throw, etc. it will work.

It will always fail if any other pot is being used at the same time. If you use an All Cure, an MP pot (even if your auto-MP is using it), or another HP pot right before auto HP would work, it will not. (If you have auto MP set to something weak like the 300MP potions, you might feel as though Auto HP fails all the time. I would suggest using a better MP pot in this case.)

In contrast, Auto HP will work all the time if you do absolutely nothing. I've done several Zakum runs where I have a mule with a weight on his left key and his auto HP never fails. Auto HP isn't supposed to make you totally ignore your HP, you just won't have to spend all your time looking at it and potting.
