On your cleric and chanter type the following to allow group spells on others

Rich (BB code):

/tbg on

If that doesn't work try the single buff version.

Rich (BB code):

Buffs1=Prescience|caster

Rich (BB code):

Buffs3=Blessing of Loyalty|caster

albigensia · Feb 16, 2016

I second this. Having the same issue. You can't just have the name of the group spell? It needs to have caster after it?

Not if your trying to cast on another group. the /tbg(To Buff Groups) allows you to cast group spells on another group. This is an EQ thing, not an MQ2.

Also all members you are trying to buff, must be on the same computer and running KissAssist or they will continually keep trying to recast buffs.

akiima · Feb 16, 2016

thats incorrect ctaylor. I run 3 and 3 on two machines and my toons never keep recasting buffs. Secondly, I had this same issue with the newest release of KA. My shaman casted talisman line over and over because his buff was being blocked by a rk. 3 spell. make sure your buffs are landing on all toons and should be gtg. I assumed it has something to do with the blocked buff spam I was getting. This is why I returned to the 8.5 release, and ive had no issues.

albigensia · Feb 17, 2016

The buff I was casting was a self buff. Copsestalker's Unity

Yea, well Buffs were broken in 8.5 and didn't work correctly. In 8.5 everyone got group buffs when kissassist started, but they never rebuffed any group buffs, without restarting kiss. We fixed the issues in 8.5.2. The way that kiss lets all the casters, in the same group, know that someone has a buff and/or a blocked buff is through the kissassist_Buffs.ini file. If all the characters in the group are NOT sharing the same kissassist_buffs.ini file, then the buffing won't work as intended. Now the way they work for you may be fine. I will add this as well, you can actually run a whole group, and all from different computers, as long as they all share the same kissassist_Buffs.ini everything will work.

I know Maskoi was talking about adding code to do some status checking of buffs, but as to weather he did or not, I am not aware of.

Do you have this set up as a |dual spell?

No sir, I do not. How might I do that?

What he said lol

albigensia · Feb 17, 2016

Thank you very much for the help. I didn't know that was a duel spell. Now to fix that pesky meming problem form the other post and I'm set again.

eqgeek · Feb 18, 2016

Your enchanter ini hurts my heart. You need to use the unity rune, and you should also haste the whole group, not just melee because it is more than just haste... AC buff, mitigation etc. Keeps you alive should you get hit.

Maskoi · Feb 18, 2016

Always use the group spell and block it on toons you don't want it.

geEQ · Feb 19, 2016

Sorry to open the thread back up, but I wasn't done.

So this is happening to a level 85 group with low AAs. The are in the same group and on the same machine. The enchanter does have a pet, but does not have the pet affinity AA, so the group buffs do not hit the pet. Could that be the cause?

This is continuing to happen in 8.5.4.

ctaylor22 · Feb 19, 2016

What buff is being recast? What character is recasting the buffs and who is it being cast on? Pet buffs are not checked by anyone other than the master.

geEQ · Feb 19, 2016

I sent you a pm with part of the log. I hope I had enough of the info you need. It is a cleric casting Hand of Gallantry every couple of minutes.

Inkie · Feb 19, 2016

what happens if you have a |MA tag at the end of your Hand of Gallantry? (or a |ME as an alternative?)

EQStreamz · Feb 19, 2016

I am having this issue on multiple accounts, I am sure it is something I am missing/not doing right but any help would be GREATLY appreciated. As you will see in the below code, I like to keep junk buffs up (clickie buffs). For some reason no matter how I do the BuffXX=blahblah|me or even as far as BuffXX=blahblah|Dual|halbhalb|Me and so on based on the guides, it keeps wanting to cast clickies on other party members...

You have items that were turned into aas and perma buffs.
Ditch all the items that are constantly recasting and that duplicate the perma aa's in your general tab

EQStreamz · Feb 19, 2016

Using KA/MQ2 there is no way to keep up "junk" buffs so they are dispelled first over the useful buffs? I know they are permanant as far as the AA etc is concerned but I still like to keep them up in case of dispells...

Would a

Rich (BB code):

Buff1=Expanding Mind IX

work or maybe

Rich (BB code):

Buff1=Expanding Mind IX|Me

work?

Maskoi · Feb 19, 2016

No they will just keep recasting because of the aas

EQStreamz · Feb 19, 2016

BAH so in order to keep them on I will have to manually watch them I suppose.
One last thing, the following code keeps recasting as well, could that be because I blocked the actual Illusion component?

Rich (BB code):

Buffs20=Bloodmetal Inlaid Gnollish Totem|Me

Maskoi · Feb 19, 2016

Try

Rich (BB code):

Buffs20=Bloodmetal Inlaid Gnollish Totem|dual|llusion Gnoll Reaver

EQStreamz · Feb 19, 2016

I figure I am missing something honestly but I went through the buff sections on all the guides I could find...

Item Name: Bloodmetal Inlaid Gnollish Totem
Buffs Applied: Direwind Gnoll Reaver Fortitude AND one of 5 different illusions (Which I have blocked in Blocked Spells)

Rich (BB code):

Buffs20=Bloodmetal Inlaid Gnollish Totem|Me

or

Rich (BB code):

Buffs20=Bloodmetal Inlaid Gnollish Totem|Dual|Direwind Gnoll Reaver Fortitude

or

Rich (BB code):

Buffs20=Bloodmetal Inlaid Gnollish Totem|Dual|Direwind Gnoll Reaver Fortitude|Me

Also, when using

Rich (BB code):

Buff18=Crimson Armor Battle Cat Saddle|Mount
Buff19=Crimson Armor Battle Cat|Remove

it just keeps casting and removing my mount... and won't proceed to Buff20= etc ...that a shortbus on my part also?

Inkie · Feb 20, 2016

try

Rich (BB code):

Buff18=Crimson Armor Battle Cat Saddle|DUAL|"MOUNT BUFF XXXX"
Buff19=Crimson Armor Battle Cat|Remove

Meistro · Feb 20, 2016

If you want to keep the "trash buffs"up, try them using the |dual|

Rich (BB code):

buffxx=itemname|dual|shadowbuffname

might work.

But have noticed that when using the |dual| set on an item clicky (illusion)(specifically Fabled Ball of Golem Clay), to ensure the "second (mitigation) effect is up, it will try and cast this on the entire group (targeting each individual inturn).
As it is a selfonly clicky, it becomes a bit odd (moved it to a downshit). Before last update (or 2 - was on vacation ), he would rebuff himself after each combat (or once a min if on a med break for s8meone other than self), but never anyone else.

Figured I'd add this, incase it ties into the same issue.

Haven't noticed spam casting of group buffs other than on mac start-up. If group is unbuffed, casters casting a |dual| buff will cyle thru the group casting the group buff on each member, but not on rebuffs.
Might have something to do to when it writes /reads buff.ini? All toons same comp.

EQStreamz · Feb 20, 2016

Thanks Darkie and Meistro.
Unfortunately Neither worked. It just chain casts mount or clickie depending on what ur talking about at that time.

Maskoi · Feb 20, 2016

What buff on you r mount are you trying to remove

This is the syntax for mounts

Rich (BB code):

Buff19=Crimson Armor Battle Cat|Mount

Meistro · Feb 20, 2016

Im guessing he wants the mount HP/AC/Stat buff, but NOT the mount itself...

could try a downshit like

Rich (BB code):

downshit#=/if (!${Me.Moving} && (${Me.Standing} || ${Me.Mount.ID}) && !${Me.Invis} && !${Me.Buff[NameOfMountBuffYouWantToKeep].ID}) /multiline ; /casting "NameOfMountItem"|Item ; /timed 20 /removebuff NameOfMountBuffYouWanRemoved

for the mount (will need to turn it off when indoors)
and

Rich (BB code):

downshit#=/if (!${Me.Moving} && (${Me.Standing} || ${Me.Mount.ID}) && !${Me.Invis} && !${Me.Buff[TrashBuff or SecondaryBuffEffectFromItem].ID}) /multiline ; /casting "ClickyItemName"|Item

for item clickys

I got your PM. I will look at this once I finish what I am working on.. I have something I need to finish up first.

- - - Updated - - -

I couldn't trace this down to a specific issue. What I would try is drop all buffs on everyone in the group. Invis everyone in the group and start KA on everyone. Drop invis on the cleric and she/he should start buffing. Just wait and see if the cleric has the same issue. If you need to go open up the Kissassist_Buffs.ini file and see if buffs are being written to the file for each group member. If the cleric stops spamming buffs, then most likely there was a buff that was blocking what the cleric was casting. If the cleric keeps spamming buffs, then there is an issue with your KissAssist_Buffs.ini file. Check and make sure the file is not read only.

LurkMcGurk · Feb 27, 2016

I'm actually having a similar problem to his with the buffs with my KA, I made a much more detailed thread about my issue here: http://www.redguides.com/community/showthread.php/38387-Buffs-constantly-recast

But I am so glad we're not the only two having this issue after the most recent KA update. That means it'll be fixed in the future. I am now overjoyed.
