Request - Bard and Shaman requests / issues

[Kibeth]

Currently running a bard and shaman through RGMercs, 99.99% of everything is amazing.

For the bard, can we get a toggle/option to not mem the push insults? Just a small QoL addition, I could simply remove these spells from my book but there are occasions where it would be useful for the push.

For the shaman, I am having a tiny issue regarding the spells in the SlowDowntime rotation. I can't find it referenced how long you have to be in downtime before this gets referenced, but when it does activate it will never cast the "Pack of" line and will noy occasionally skip to the WardBuff line, typically just showing the red exclamation mark that some condition is not being met for these to be used, but neither buff is active on my character.

Which push insult are you memorizing?
If it is Sogran's, it was done that way for a specific reason, because, when it was last updated, it was the best insult available for a toon without expansions.
Now that NoS is f2p, I have no issue bumping that to Nord's.

If your issue is instead at 125, I will advise you to create a custom config to address this (see ingame faqs). I already have all of the insults entered, I simply have some of them commented out, like so:

From memory and my notes, this was exacerbated by the TOB timers breaking a 6 or 8 xpac cycle.

You also have the choice to memorize lower level insults, if the damage isn't important and you are simply using them for synergy.

As far as any other spell or ability, you can go to the console, change the filter to the name of the spell, and turn the log level to verbose, it may shed some insight on why it is not being used. The /rgl rebuff command should reset that timer.
I'll have a look at the code on my end, but would likely need that information anyways.

[VERBOSE] IHaveBuff - Searching Buff and Song windows for Pack of Mirtuk.
[VERBOSE] :: Testing Condition for entry(PackSelfBuff) type(Spell) cond(Pack of Mirtuk, XXXXXX) ==> false

seems like it is failing to take the next step of memming the spell and casting, but there doesn't seem to be any options in the abilities section that directly reference PackSelfBuff that I would have enabled or disabled.

It was indeed Sogran's that was causing the issue, I will take a look into editing the file as you referenced, thanks!

For sogran's, I just pushed an update that moved the preferred up to Nord's.

I'll have a look at the pack buff code. There is no option you aren't using.

Do you not have visionary's unity?

 

[Kibeth]

I do not, I am using a FTP character currently so that is something that hasn't been purchased, I was going to go ahead and sub this account anyway so I will take a look and see if having the AA lets it complete as expected. Maybe it only has a reference for using the AA as opposed to utilizing a spell slot, just thinking out loud.

Now that i look at your log/code... when is the last time you updated, dude?

 

[Kibeth]

Yes that appears to be the case, as soon as the AA was unlocked the downtime routine used the AA to cast Pack, so it just didn't have a failsafe to attempt using a spell gem to cast.

edit: I check for updates before every time I launch, in general its a fresh install from maybe two weeks ago?

I don't know what you mean about failsafe... if I'm reading your log entry correctly, you are referencing a function that is no longer checked for that self-buff. When did you last update mercs?

Okay cheers, I misread something. It was checking the IHaveBuff to see if the effect was active XD. My bad!

Sounds like the issue is fixed for you, but there is some other stuff we could've done to ascertain precisely why it wasn't firing. We could've also filtered by the spell ID to see additional information, I believe.

I'll play with it next time I'm on live, thanks!
