hey all, I don’t think my bard is mezzing, this is pulled from the lvl 40 bard ini. I have the spell, it’s spelled correctly, and it’s memmed. does something need to be changed so he will mez the add when I pull more than 1? He is not The puller.

At the risk of being captain obvious, are the mobs you are pulling in the defined level range and do they have more than 80 health?
 
here is the full level 40 bard ini from redguides. It’s the only one available. I’m in Chardok atm with the team so I assume mobs all have over 80hp.

[Mez] <---Mez Tag. Nothing fancy here.
MezOn=1 <---Mez is on, correct.
MezRadius=50 <---Mez radius in which your mob is within your area
MezMinLevel=35 <--- Minimum Level your bard is willing to mez, any lower would be considered not needing to be mezzed, because it would be "trivial".
MezMaxLevel=53 <--- Max level your current, latest spell allows you to mez up to level 53, then this would be correct. Sionachie's Dream does in fact allow you to charm up to level 53.
MezStopHPs=80 <--- This is where you define at what hp % your bard will no longer attempt to mez any longer. If your group is hitting w/AoEs, and your bard is trying to mez them, once the mobs fall below 80%, they will stop.
MezSpell=Sionachie's Dreams <--- Your single target mez spell goes here. Sionachie's Dreams mezes up to level 53. Your MezMaxLevel is set to 53.
MezAESpell=Your AE Mez Spell|0 <--- Your AoE mez spell goes here. You do not have an AoE mez spell here, so your bard would only be mezzing single targets.

Everything you have set looks correct. You've got your Mez turned on, your radius set, your min/max levels, your stophp %, your single target Mez, but no AoE mez (but this is not required, unless you want to AoE mez).
What I would suggest is that you check by pulling two mobs with your toons properly assisting with assist set on your tank, or on the person tanking (and be sure the group is assisting), and see if your bard attempts to mez the mobs not being hit. Be sure to watch for mez breaks and sit on people's hands who can't learn to not break a mez! haha.

Anyway, I'm not sure if someone went over this for you, and I apologize if this fell on deaf ears because you already know this...But, I'm in hopes this helps you, or atleast someone viewing!

Cheers,
 
Hey all. Thanks for the replies. It’s been a month since I first asked this question and I’ve learned a lot since then. The bard was in fact mezzing. It’s hard to identify a mezzed mob in a group. If there is something I’m not seeing on screen please let me know. I was also manning the SK and breaking mez without realizing it. I’ve turned over more controls to KA and started flipping through toons to figure out what they are doing during the fights. Everything seems to be working super cool now. Biggest fun part now has been playing with /auto loot but I think I’m getting a handle on that too! New day, new KA adventure lol.

thanks again. And btw @DSxHorton89 red cent for that super detailed explanation. It clarified a few things that I wasn’t sure about.

0=Off/1=On,|ChannelName - Messages for Mez, Heals, Pulls and Tanking in MQ2EQBC. See EQBC for more info.

It will help a lot if you use EQBCon=1
You will see everytime the toons try to mez, heal cure, named tanking,burns etc.
Once you master it..it can co-ordinate your world.

This is awesome sauce
 
Try setting your mez settings to only handle single target mez, this can be done by setting your MezOn=1 line to MezOn=2. MezOn=1 is to handle both AE and Single targeting mez. TBH I really don't like how KA handles Single Target Bard mez. Other than our Dirge of the Sleepwalker the mez timer is to short and KA will just sit there and keep one mob on lock while doing nothing else until that one is all there is left.
 
Thanks for the suggestions. Most of my issues were me being green at the time. Here 3mo later it seems to be working as intended. Thanks!
