For context, I’ve been leveling a group on Test: PAL / CLR / ENC / NEC x3, all running CWTN plugins.

While leveling, I kept my tank reasonably up to date on gear. Around level 100 I started having serious trouble staying alive. I assumed it was just a gear issue, so I kept pushing forward.

By 110 I had the group outfitted with Snowbound armor, Ice Encrusted weapons, and whatever accessories I could find. Things improved a bit and I started working through ToV, but it was rough.

I hit 115 and stepped into CoV… and holy hell, I was getting destroyed. If I pulled two or more mobs, my tank was going down at least once before the enchanter/cleric could stabilize.

That’s when I started noticing my entire group’s HP was dropping consistently, but no group heals were firing.

So I started digging through my settings, and then it hit me. Back around level 90, I had enabled BYOS (Bring Your Own Spells) on my cleric for some unknown reason. That meant my cleric hadn’t memorized a single new heal or buff for the last 25 levels. 😭

I unchecked the box, and it immediately cleared every spell slot and loaded the correct, level appropriate, spells.

Now my group barely dips below 90% HP, and I’m absolutely smashing everything.


Moral of the story: don’t click random settings if you don’t know what they do. 🤣
 
That sounds rough. Glad you fixed it though!

What is BYOS? My guess is buy/bring your own spells.

Does CWTN buy your spells for you?

Bring Your Own Spells. Essentially you load whatever spell lineup you want and the plugin will use them. It assumes you have a reason for wanting those specific spells and follows your command. I'm just a fool 😆.

By default the plugin will memorize new/upgraded spells as you acquire them.
