Problem - Bard ending macro

Howdy everyone, my bard has suddenly started ending his macro on almost every pull. There are some that he does not, but most pulls the macro ends and says:
SetupAdvLootVArs: REading from Loot.ini
Ninjaadvloot: AutoHater set to Xtarget1
Ninjadvloot: Variables are set. Using Loot.ini file.
No MainAssist Target. Please target Main Tank and restart macro.

I have a hotkey to start the macro which targets the main tank and /mac kissassist
The main tank is set to tank, assist and puller via the everquest tools.

Thoughts?
 
I find it better to put the tank’s name in the start.
Code:
/Mac kissassist tankname 98
No need to target that way. It sounds like something is making the macro restart.

I am targeting the MainAssist Target. I just inserted this bard with the same ini into a different group and he behaves just fine! So, to be descriptive:

1) SK is the main tank running MQ2Eskay. I have a hotkey on the bard that says: /tar maintankname, /pause 4, /mac kissassist (I have also done /mac kissassist maintankname 98) and the bard ends his macro on every pull...as soon as he acquires a target.

2) The very same ini and bard with a warrior as the target (the warrior is running MQ2War) and everything works fine.....

I will copy this into the MQ2Eskay thread as well....

100% has nothing to do with mq2eskay or mq2war

you can do this instead of what you're doing
you need to say "assist"
/mac kissassist assist tankname 98
or
/mac kissassist assist ${Group.MainAssist} 98

/mac kissassist assist tankname 98
or
/mac kissassist assist ${Group.MainAssist} 98
I will make this change to see what happens, but why is the behavior totally different with the same starting key between the groups?
 
no idea - but kissassist doesn't care what other toons are using.

you should be getting a reason *why* the macro is ending. could you post what that is.

you likely have something wrong inside the ini
 
What I get is what I posted in the original post:
well you didn't post that error and you did post that it would work for one fight - which what you just posted doesn't appear to be the case.

did you try the 2 methods i mentioned?

/mac kissassist assist tankname 98
or
/mac kissassist assist ${Group.MainAssist} 98 (this requires your sk/war to be assigned as main assist in the group window)
or a third
/mac kissassist assist ${Group.MainTank} 98 (this requires your sk/war to be assigned as main tank in the group window)
