Problem - Burn Help

[fleqfan]

I can only seem to get KA to do burns if I have BurnAllNamed=1 in the char ini. I have tried using it with 0 and MobsToBurn= in the info.ini but I cannot get it to trigger. I have tried figuring this out reading multiple threads but haven't.

When I have BurnAllNamed=1 it is burning on non-named mobs at times. The OT mission for instance I only want to do burn on Cactiikii. My wizard, enchanter, druid and mage see a monstrous succulent as a named and start the burn on it. I would like them to only burn the boss.

So with BurnAllNamed=0 they will not burn Cactiikii. With BurnAllNamed=1 they do burn him but they also burn the startup mob, a monstrous succulent, so the dps on Cactiikii is much lower than I had planned. I still am able to manage to win but a couple of times I only got him to 1 - 3% before his hps locked up.

KA has also created 2 entries in the Kissassist.info.ini for the zone (?) so I put the named in both. Any help would be appreciated!


[The Overthere: Fell Foliage]
MezImmune=List up to 10 mobs. Use full names i.e. a green snake,a blue tiger,a wide eye ooze or NULL
MobsToPull=List up to 25 mobs. Use full names i.e. a green snake,a blue tiger,a wide eye ooze or ALL for all mobs
MobsToIgnore=List up to 25 mobs. Use full names i.e. a green snake,a blue tiger,a wide eye ooze or NULL
MobsToBurn=Cactiikii
PullPath=Place holder for path file. Not yet impletmented.

the entry with the _i means its the instanced version of whatever zone its in, so usually that is for missions and heroic adventures, things that generate an instanced zone.

if i was you id use the burn phrase and just activate burn as needed.

[Fell Foliage] is for Open zone and [Fell Foliage_I] is for the instanced zone of Fell Foliage.

If you turn BurnAllNamed=0, then do like Kaen01 suggested and just create a hotkey that broadcasts the Burn text to the group, when you want them all to use burn..

Ah thanks. I did try to add the monstrous to mobs to ignore but that didn't work. I can use isboxer and send keystroke to boxes for them to echo burn text I made. I do not use mq on my warrior as I like doing that all manually so think that's my best option. Any idea why the mob list for ignore and burn though isn't working? Is there a char ini setting I missed?

I have a question about this.. I've never used a burn phrase, always just been lazy and set burnallnamed=1 and just dealt with it..

so.. is it a /bcg BURN BABY BURN! , or /bcg //gsay BURN BABY BURN! , etc that triggers it? where are they watching for it? in group chat window, or just in MQ window.. like a /bcg //echo BURN BABY BURN! ?

I noticed the same that fleqfan did, my guys blow their load on "a monstrous succulent" .. and dont save it for the main event which comes right after.. And given that they are planning on 'making it harder' this upcoming patch, I cant just let my guys burns start too early, then happen to carry over to Cactiikii.. pretty much gotta save everything to hit when he spawns..

It is an event so any channel you are monitoring will trigger the burn, it is safest to use /bcg. Just make sure all of the characters in your group have the same BurnText setup..

I got it to work with a hotkey on all my dps boxes that is "/echo BurnText" using isboxer to send them the command with one keystroke. Wiz dps went from 300k to over 900k on the burn so was nice!

I have not really got enchanter or druid to dot very well though so something I need to work on. I have this on druid and wondered if it is correct since he didn't cast a dot on the named at all. Might be because he was healing with cleric too much.

DPS1=Pearlescent Moonbeam|98|Once|ifme|Destructive Vortex
etc with the other dots

I have seen the DoTs go over on trash mob with me testing it so I am thinking it works. My question is on DoTs is do I even need to put the Once in there? Will characters wait until DoTs wear off before recasting them again? I do not want him spamming the dots over and over mana-wise

Edit: I have Burn7=Destructive Vortex|Me for burn. My goal is only to use the DoTs on burns since most trash dies very fast.

You don't need once on DOT's..
