Hello
As there is lots of talk on the forums about how fun bards are to add to the group, I decided to try it out.
This is a bard, alone with a cleric merc.
KissAssist is running as hunter.
With no bard experience, I have been applying Toadwarts INI files from the forum library.
Background
In broad view, the bard is working. It finds a mob (as listed in KissAssist_Info ), fights it and wins. If there are adds, the bard looks to mezz as best possible and continues to fight.
From this problem perspective, there isnt an issue with the bard fighting, pulling or cycling over which songs to use.
Troubles
The trouble starts when there is no mob in range.
A cycle of "stand up, sit down" happens and its looks robotic. Its a fast repeat pattern in which the MQ2 output window may help explain:
The bard appears to stand briefly, Selos is started and then sit. Sitting only for a second or two, then stand again restart Selos and sit. Repeat.
The output mentions a 5 second wait, and in retesting that feels about right. The bard sits for a few seconds, then stands quickly, and sits back down.
I wouldnt mind so much if the bard was either sitting or standing whilst wait for the spawn, for as long as needed to wait. Its this pattern of stand up, sit down, repeating at a precise frequency that gives the concern. Concern, because it looks robotic and can generate player aggro reports from those who dont accept boxers, MQ2 etc.
