Question - Bard Pulling

[FB]

Hi All,
I am currently running a lvl 73 full group of WAR, CLR, BRD, ROG, MAG & WIZ. Typically, I run kissassist on all but the warrior, and on the WAR I run /mac kissassist manual, followed by /buffson and /plugin mq2melee unload. (I hope that makes sense, saw it on one of the tutorial videos).

Now, sometimes I run into a situation where I would prefer to pull with the Bard, using the Lvl 71 Whispersong of Veshma to lull targets and then single pull who's left. Is that possible, and do I need to change something in the settings to make that viable? I'd prefer to put the bard back to auto once he is in the camp so that kissassist can do the twist/whatever with the Bard.

Many thanks

you can just /mqp on to pause kiss on the bard before doing manual stuff, come back to camp and then /mqp off to unpause kiss

Thank you. One more question on this - if I replace a spellslot with the Lull spell, then do my manual thing, and turn the macro back on - will kissassist know that there is a wrong song in the spell list and replace it based on the .ini file? Or do I need to incorporate the lull into the .ini somehow?

KISS will initially load a spell set if you've identified it with

LoadSpellSet=1 SpellSetName=Base

and then thereafter it will only mess with the song slot you've identified using

MiscGem=12 MiscGemRemem=1

So once the macro is actually running it will only change out the song in my slot 12 as needed for buffing and then it will try to put it back to what it was originally. So if I put Lull into slot 11 then the macro will never change it again once it's past it's original loading. Of course if slot 11 is part of my routine med or combat twist then it'll happily cast it instead of whatever you originally had in that slot.

one useful thing I have found is to make sure the miscGem slot is set the same for all characters; it helps with when I do manual things, and go back and unpause.

Hi All, many thanks for the advice here, this works like a charm...

One more thing, when I pull with my Bard, can I make a hotkey that tells my warrior to target what the bard already has in target, and to start the autoattack? That way I don't need to first switch windows, then target with my mouse etc...

Thanks again

If you are using eqbc

[CODE lang="ini" title="Hotkey"]/bct "nameofthewar" //assist ${Me}
/bct "nameofthewar" //attack on[/CODE]

Another way of doing it, is to set your war as maintank, your bard as main assist and adjust the campradius of your tank, so he'll attack your mob a bit before it will exactly reach him.
