Tip - Bards - go get one

Any idea what to twist in replacement, since we can remove this from the song twist now?

Currently, my twist has been these 7 songs:

Rich (BB code): 
CombatSong1=Aria of Maetanrus Rk. II
CombatGem1=2
CombatSong2=War March of Jocelyn Rk. II
CombatGem2=3
CombatSong3=Arcane Melody Rk. II
CombatGem3=4
CombatSong4=Fjilnaulk's Song of Suffering Rk. II
CombatGem4=5
CombatSong5=Fjilnaulk's Insult Rk. II
CombatGem5=9

SpellName9=Dichotomic Psalm

SpellName10=Doben's Spry Sonata

On a similar note, I also use the pet song item (although probably trash dps now with mobs having over 5 million hp, swarm pets are shit dps in comparison to mob hp these days, as well as damage shields) and defensive song item from HH Mistmoore in my setup. So make sure you get those if you want them for your bards.

Now that someone has enlightened me on how easy it is to setup a shit for hitting these clicky songs, I'll have to do that more often! Only issue I see is many aren't insta-clicky like this one, and therefore requires you to stop your twist, hit the clicky, and then continue the twist.

One thing I've noticed, items clicks used on bards while twisting spell gems, even if they are instant click, will cause you to grey out your spell gems bar after awhile, and stop twisting, think its some EQ bug. Only way I know to stop it is to manually /twist off to reset the spell gem bar. One downside of using item clicks.

I think the insta-clicks (like this particular item) doesn't do that, right? I haven't seen the twist issue with this item, but I've seen it with items that have near-instant clicks (like 0.3 sec or whatever).
 
I think it occurs if the spell gem is in middle of cast and you use an item, seems to occur with instant cast items less, but still occurs. Its weird because it seems totally random on when it happens. My guess is there are 2 types of casting systems conflicting on top of one another. One for all classes which item clicks fall under, and one for bards which regular song gems fall under. So like the Dobens Spry Sonata item, it uses the all class casting system, while your twist gems use the bard cast system. Its like trying to double cast at the same time which is causing the conflict. Just a guess though.
 
Just patched this on test:

- The spell on Darkened Breath of Harmony should no longer break Melody

We'll see how it goes when the new compile is out.
 
I pasted it in that file, not working yet, if i dont have any holys do i need to change it to 1?

4 or 1 or 0 or whatever should be fine.

You also have do make sure you include the:
holyflag4=1 (or make "4" 1 or 0 or whatever you made the holyshit)

Also, make sure /plugin mq2melee load
Also, make sure /melee on

By the way, the fix for clickies stopping /melody (and /twist) works super well. This is even more necessary to get, now.

I'm adding a small regen/mana regen clicky, next.

Also, there's a dot and resist debuff insta clicky from the HH Naggy raid that I'm going to try to box. Seems a little complicated, but I think I worked out how I'll do it (in my head).
 
Didn't want to start a new thread since this involves this item. I don't know when, but they have nerfed this item. It only bumps your AC by 20 now, i.e. it is not being modded. I cast the spell gem version and got about 110 AC bump vs 20 AC from the item. Also, my spell gem version was Rank I, and the item has Rank II. So thats pretty significant.

I vaguely recall seeing a patch update talking about this. It's pretty shitty that they'd make it unmodable, since most other clickies (that I know of) are.
 
Thank you for this post, I got my drop and use the holy for it.

Is anyone else having an issue where the click prevents melody for a few seconds? I manually play my bard and when the holy triggers (during initial melee, with no other songs playing), it sometimes takes 5+ seconds for my songs buttons and abilities to refresh and prevents melody.

Am I missing something simple/stupid? My thought is to change the holy so it just always clicks the buff, melee or not. Unfortunately at work theorizing about this, so I cannot test until tonight.

If I recall, that happens whether you're using MQ2 or not. It's a bug on the EQ side.
