If you want to max DPS and downtime, I would suggest building towards a 6 man group that is either caster or melee based. Get the best buffers/debuffers for that group. Safety was a good thing to build for in 2002, but corpse recovery and transport are much less of an issue now even if you...

Lack of spamable fast heals - Cleric and Shaman can load multiple spell level versions of their fast heals, druids can not. Druids fast heals share a timer between expansion spell sets which seems like a code oversight at this point. Druid handles first part of an encounter fine, then is stuck...

Is setting up your own on AWS still decent? Streisand (or something like that)

From an Amazon hiring post for UI design "Our product is an undisclosed game produced by a team with experience from several successful titles including EverQuest, PlanetSide, H1Z1, and Free Realms," Did some of the EQ devs head to the new Amazon studio or is this something new?

Check if you can manually stack Spectral Ward and Aegis on the pet. They may be the same spell "timer" and you can only have one. Sounds like KA is casting one, then casting the second (overwriting the first), then loading your spell slot 9 standard spell (lifedraw.) Then KA sees the pet is...

It's a good question. I find that 105+, the mobs tend to be hit really hard but have low HP, making most fights 12-18 seconds per mob. So debuffs and dots are rarely worth the cast time, except on Named. I don't do Feralize or the druid +% Fire/Ice debuffs unless it is a high HP mob like a...

86-100 isn't too different. At 105 the EoK content is a big jump, unless you've farmed the Broken Mirror gear or BM instance tokens for gear. On some servers you can buy those tokens, Remnant of Tranquility, but its getting to be hard to find them. Maybe ask in General if none listed in...

My STOP NOW hotkey button is: /mqp on /nav stop So at least everything is paused and I'm not moving. If you run a plugin instead of a macro, you'd need to adjust /mqp to whatever their "off" command is. You could also add a self invis or FD or "drop all aggro" now command to it. I have a...

This is for KA bard, but you can also check out IHC's "auto" bard macro. KA12 beta has a bunch of upgrades to the bard code. It has very good reviews in the beta thread for bard usage. I think core and modbot can run bards too, but I have no experience with those yet. DPS during songs - Bards...

Could be a directory issue. I see you have "launchpad.libs" in yours. Maybe do a Windows search for eqgame.exe and see what the directory or "properties" tab shows.

Looks like you saw it, but I do have a caster group suggestions post here. I'd go with another pure DPS with caster synergy like Mage or Wiz. Best DPS output for the slot and works well with your ench/mage/wiz nuke boosts combos. Necro can add some boosts too, but for top end content a full...

DPS7=Vainglorious Shout|99|Cond8 DPS20=Vainglorious Shout|99|Cond14|Once As Allurex mentioned, these are AE dmg/dot/debuffs. 30k dmg in a cone + 250k dmg to all dot'd mobs 18 seconds later. Do the conds check for multiple mobs? To keep in simple, you could just use Boastful Bellow which...

Combat rebuffs: Add the "taps" to DPS and use conditions to check yourself for the buff. Here are my 115 SK ones, change the spell names as needed. The HP buff from tap, I just run that in DPS and it tends to cast often enough you don't lose it. I have mine set to only rebuff if SK is above 75%...

Bestowal is only a 6 minute buff, is it just wearing off? Try it with no |Me tag? KA will recognize self-only buffs. Buffs7=Thaumaturge's Unity|DUAL|Chaotic Bestowal Just to check, you do have Chaotic Bestowal spell in your book and you're seeing that buff name appear in your buff window? I...

Auto-follow - Try raising the background FPS to 15-20 in the eq graphics menu settings. You'd get a lot of value out of mq2eqwire if you haven't tried that yet too. It turns off rendering for background toons while increasing overall performance. Also consider using other follow methods like...
