Problem - Bard not Assisting

Hey.

Using SIC's 125 bard ini and for some reason my bard often does not assist or stops assisting. I notice when I load the kiss file, it does say "Auto attack on assist is now *off* " . I am assuming that is the issue but I dont see where I would fix that in the ini file.

Also mq2melee is turned off.
 
"Auto attack on assist is now *off*." is from EQ. Specifically /assist off
Means when you assist (/assist) your tank, it doesn't automatically turn on auto attacking
Because KISS is handling combat, it turns off the ingame assist to prevent weirdness.

Did you make changes to the ini? For instance, what is your MeleeDistance set to?
Is your bard assisting on anything? Does mezzing?

MeleeDistance I changed to 225 as I changes camp radius to 200

Hes just twisting songs. Sometime he will attack and other times he does not. Seems to happen more when I constantly changing modes with my SK running CWTN plugin.
 
Those are rather large numbers.
For reference, I use CampRadius=30 and MeleeDistance=65 (there aren't perfect/right numbers, depends on use case)
That said, it probably isn't those values causing an issue.

Do you have Frame Limiter setup?
I'm wondering if the FPS is too low on the bard, causing missed/delayed commands.

Ill check that out.
 
I’ve noticed this sometimes with my melee dps guys but most notably my bard.

Sometimes with chase on or /afollow the bard will end up just outside melee range and not adjust. They just sit there. My resolution has been either to hit my come to me button or use my tank to pull the mob back into melee range of my bard.

This might be a different problem than you are having but give it a shot.

I have his stick as snaproll back but when using chase/follow it messes with it. When I’m just grinding a camp it is a non-issue. During missions where I’m running around is when it usually happens.
