Q: I don't like the spell loadout - are there spell sets?
A: No loadouts, but you can byos/byos custom. > Vid here <
Q: I Want to Range, but i'm moving up into melee range?
A: Make sure you check out the vid > here < that explains to change your stickhow.
Q: I want to root/rot.
A: While you *might* be able to do that, we don't do any rooting (tho - we're rooting for your success and many loots!), or punting, we're also not going to try and save yourself from breaking your own roots from procs and AAs (outside of usenuke). This is, at the end of the day, for boxing.
Q: But I want to root!
A: We don't use the following:
Grasp of Sylvan Spirits - 1m root
Q: I want to willy-nilly swap targets to multi-dot, debuff, snare, root, /rude, pickpocket, pet aggro, and piggyback-ride.
A: Sorry we are not going to do those things :p
Q: I really want to snipe targets that are low health!
A: That would definitely be cool. We may try and implement something like that for fun, but no promises. It is definitely outside "the norm".
Q: I'm the best ranger to ever exist and have been playing since 1873 (a full year since before the first druid). The ranger model was made after my great-great grandmammy Harriet "halfling-ass lookin good today" McGillacuddy.
A: Sorry if mq2ranger isn't meeting up to those standards. Unfortunately with classes that some folks love so near and dear, there are undoubtedly going to be things that are "not done the way i'd do it".
Q. Do I need any spell components or other things i need/want?.
A. Yes and we try and let you know.
- a fire beetle eye.
- Class 3 Wood Silver Tip Arrow
- You want a Prescient Fleeting Quiver
- You want Ancient Arrows in both your quiver and ammo slot.
Q: I have an empty spell gem!
A: Chances are you have several options turned off. This might be a good place to manually memorize a buff or another non-automemorized spell.
Q: You are using the wrong "Jolting XXX Kicks" or "Enraging XXX Kicks"!?
A: We try and use the rank that matches your outrider's synergy.
Q: Bando swapping?
A: At this time we have no plans of adding bandoswapping. If we *did* it would be based on ranged/melee and automatic detection of DW vs 2h.
Q: I want to tank, why not do more tank stuffzx?
A: We may add more tanking stuff later, but that definitely won't be the focus or the goal
Q: Lower level feels weird, has empty gem slots, or ___?
A: Empty gem slots are bound to happen at lower level, and also depending on the configuration of abilities. Feedback for this should be posted in the discussion thread - it doesn't mean it *will* be adjusted, but under many/most circumstances, we want to have useful spells up and ready to be used.
Q: AA Timer 5, what the... ?
A: you have two "arrow" types from a AA
- Poison - proc, costs mana for big dmg
- Flaming - proc, costs less mana, but smaller damage and stun
Q: How can I get it to break invis to do stuff?
A: MQ2Ranger will break invis if a camp is set - so mode 1 would break invis to do stuff, whereas mode 0 would not. If you want to break invis in a mode like mode 2, turn on usemelee/useranged.
Q: Why am I Not Pulling XYZ mob?
A: Not pulling a mob is almost always an issue either with your Navmesh or your pull settings. If you do a /rng debugpull on once and it will cycle 1 time and spit out in your mq2 window all the mobs and why you are not pulling them. Compare the output with the mobs you think you should be pulling and it will tell you why. This will notify you if you have no nav path, or out of zradius, or regular radius, or on ignore, etc.
Q. I appear to be chain casting buff / spell?
A. There are a few of these buffs that eq/mq reports stack that do not or will chain overwrite other buffs and you get into a buffing contest with another toon. You either have this situation or some other issues. I would suggest checking for the red error text that eq gives you to tell you WHY it didn't successfully take hold and then go from there. You can block anything you don't want cast. This is a built-in EverQuest feature - right-click on the buff and "add this spell to list of blocked spells" or go through the eq menu -> character -> blocked buffs
EQ Menu -> Character -> Blocked Buffs
EQ Menu -> Character -> Blocked Pet Buffs (to add to anyone's pet blocked spells)
/blockspell add me id
/blockspell add pet id
> Issue with "Spiritual V" line blocking AtkHpBuff / Shout Combo <
Q: Why does mq2Ranger make my vision go zoom / magnify / scrolled out/in/whatever?
A: This is discussed in the MQ2Ranger video - this is part of the "Eyes" line, you can't ignore the magnification, unfortunately. If you really hate your toon (no mana regen) you can add Eyes to your blocked spells, but it is not recommended.
Q. Do I need to assign what Xtargets to watch for XTargetHealing?
A. Nope - Just toggle on UseXTargetHealing and it will check all your Extended Targets to see if they are PCs and then heal them at the respective nonMA heal value.
Q. Do I need to assign what Xtargets to watch for XTargetBuffing?
A. Nope - Just toggle on UseXTargetBuffing and it will check all your Extended Targets to see if they are PCs and then buff them (they still need to be running mq2cwtnbuffs and be local).
Q. I am not curing my xtargets?
A: Just like buffing - toggle on UseXTargetHealing and it will check all your Extended Targets to see if they are PCs and then cure them.
