Question - DPS casting not following ini settings (2 Viewers)

greenxero · 2026-06-13T14:34:40-0700

I have a SK that casts all dps spells at 100 pct no matter what is put in the DPS section. I tried other ini files and even started with a fresh ini and only added this one line.

dpson=1
DPS1=Engulfing Darkness|50|

All other characters are following the ini with no issues but the SK casts it at 100 pct every time. What am I missing?

if you are talking about kissassist, you most likely have dpson=2, which is the prefered setting imo

it turns the value you entter into a rotation value, so it does the skills in order from high to low

then you use conditions to control if you want something to cast later on lower hp for example the engulfing darkness

Cond1=!${Target.Snared.ID} && ${Target.PctHPs} < 50
That will then use the thing when the mob is not snared and is below 50% hp

DPS1=Engulfing Darkness|50|cond1

Thanks for the response. I should have mentioned it is dpson=1. I guess I could changed to dspon=2 and learned to do that.

EDIT
I tried dpson=2

DPS1=Bash|99
DPS2=Siphon Life|75|cond1

Cond1=${Me.PctHPs} < 75

Still cast siphon life 100 pct over and over.

do you have usemq2melee=1?

if so, then set that to 0 should never be 1

Is your SK your tank? If so, I would assume it would always start the dps section immediately? Also from your two posts are you trying to say it seems to be ignoring conditions, or that you think it shouldn't be doing dps section at all? Lastly, isn't it the Melee sections, AssistAt that would control when your character starts up the DPS section?

if he is the tank it ignores the assistat setting and internally does 100

but what i read him saying its ignoring condtions or the settings for dpson=1, which to me spells out that mq2melee is doing things, or he got multiple dps sections and editing the wrong one

I have run into problem s in inis where I goofed up a section label([Melee]), with an extra character, or something, and so next time KA runs, it creates a new melee section or whatever at default values down at the bottom of the file. And definitely check on the mq2melee plugin - it will pretty much do all kind of stuff with your toon.

He has Tank as the role so I am pretty sure that he is just misunderstanding how that role works with KA.

Character Role?: Tank

Thank you for the answers. yes, it is set as tank. I guess I don't fully understand how Tank changes things. Can someone point me to where I can find the differences in settings, I don't see them in the scripts/kissassist page.

So, If it ignores health in dps in tank mode, how do you set it up to not continuously cast? He burns through all his mana in one fight. I tried setting dpson=2 and using conditions, but he just burns through everything.

This is directly from someone elses ini, so I thought it would work.
dpson=2
DPS1=Bash|99
DPS2=Siphon Life|75|cond1

Cond1=${Me.PctHPs} < 75

It should work. The Tank thing is a red herring. You'll engage at 100%, but it should still respect your DPS settings for skills/spells/abilities.

Post your whole ini. There's likely something conflicting that we'll see if we can look at the whole thing (use the code block to make it easier to read).

dal98 · 2026-06-14T06:27:06-0700

Have you verified that ConOn is set to 1 to actually enable conditions? But yeah, posting the entire .ini file minus any identifying information would probably be helpful.

This is a fresh start. Deleted the previous ini and ran kissassist to create one. Modified Role, DPS, and Condition only. But, still continuous casting starting at 100 pct.

Figured I missed something simple. So, I have to use dpson=2 with conditions to limit when spells will be cast?
