Bug - Combat Songs and Mezzing on bard tied to MeleeOn=1, if DPSOn=0

[Dobs2017]

Just wanted to say that this macro runs my bard very smoothly. Bards have been near impossible to get a reliable macro for over the years and KissAssist has finally provided what was lacking.

There is one small bug though. Sometimes, I don't want the bard to physically melee.

If

MeleeOn=0

[Melee]
AssistAt=95
MeleeOn=0
FaceMobOn=0
MeleeDistance=50
StickHow=behindonce
AutoFireOn=0
UseMQ2Melee=1
MeleeTwistOn=1
MeleeTwistWhat=1 2 3 4 5

And

DPSOn=0

[DPS]
DPSOn=0
DPSSize=20
DPSSkip=20
DPSInterval=2
DPS1=NULL
DPS2=NULL
...

The bard will not start the combat twist for the group when mobs are pulled into camp and will also not mez any adds.

There is a work around for this. If you activate DPSOn=1 and add a single DPS1=X, where X is a DPS Skill, combat songs and mezing will activate again during combat.

[DPS]
DPSOn=1
DPSSize=20
DPSSkip=20
DPSInterval=2
DPS1=Boastful Bellow|94
DPS2=NULL
DPS3=NULL
...

This is a small issue. However, when new bards set up for the first time, if MeleeOn=0 and DPSOn=0 they are going to run into problems.

In Kiss dpson=0 and melee=0 means no damage. So that is working as intended.
It should be mezzing regardless though. I will have to look at that

I was attempting to get the settings so the bard would not physically melee, but would continue to do the combat twist and mez when mobs were brought into camp.

The DPSOn=1 does fix it though.

Would be interested in this working for the LJ/RF servers, i would prefer my bard to not melee either, Would be alot happier if he stayed near casters and his combat twist turned off and on without him attacking

You could ghetto fix this with just putting a non damaging song in the dps twist to ensure it uses the dps routine while keeping melee off. It shouldnt have anything to do with what server its on as long as its a DBG server.

Have the same problem and as stated dps on does resolve the Mez issue

DPSOn=1 Will cause the toon to Play/Cast whatever is Listed in the DPS section of the ini file.
MeleeOn=0 Will keep the toon from /attacking the mob and just cast what ever is in your DPS section.
