Tip - Dual Invis / IVU

[LorDeth]

I've been reading alot lately about guys having to struggle getting around in TBM zones, and this lil ditty is what I use to ease that... short of Bokons, those bastards can see through all invis, this will keep you invis'ed from most mobs.. always good to /con first though in an area you are unfamiliar with...

Anyway, I couldnt find any sort of guide on here for this, so I thought I would share what I use:

Prerequisite: You must have at least 2 toons in your group that have the group perfected invis and group perfected IVU / ITU. You must also be using EQBCS to send the chat commands to your boxes.

This example is from one of my wizzies, and my cleric.

Set up a hotkey macro in-game, called DUAL INVIS (or whatever you like);
line 1: /bct wizzytoon //alt activate 1210
line 2: /bct clerictoon //alt activate 1212

You have to do it in this order, the grp invis, followed by grp ITU, for both to land. I tried both ways, and it has best % success rate this way.. You may have to try it a couple times for it to land on everyone, but it works for me 99% of the time.

Cheers!

This is a must have for running around in a lot of zones... :P Thought this was a known thing but maybe it's like group call of hero in the other thread yesterday when people's minds exploded.

Not sure if you can use /pause with bct but if you want both invis to land put a pause in the macro for group IVU, short pause should work.

Another option too is click on your wizard's screen when you send the keypress. This will make sure his screen receives the command a fraction of a second faster and thus, should go off first so both can land.

The /pause # doesnt get interpreted by eqbc it is EQ's function /delay #s is MQ2's function. The only way it would matter would be to multiline it all in 1 line then you should use /delay #s

/multiline ; /bct wizzytoon //alt activate 1210 ; /delay 1s ; /bct clerictoon //alt activate 1212

I feel so useless to people who use EQBC. I don't know your lingo at all =(

Bro, its cool, if I ever decided to go full isboxxer you'd be the man! Everyone has there favorites they learn, there are quite a few here that would school me with EQBC. I enjoy showing people EQBC functionality, imo its better than almost every plugin out there for what it does for you.

I use both ISBOXER and EQBC. Pretty much isboxer for windows management and I am used to it. The key replication is good too if you are not using MQ2 to help out. EQBC is what I use to issue commands to the rest of the toons.

I don't think this would work. The IVU does need to lander after reg invis, but if the cleric starts to cast IVU after the regular invis lands then regular invis gets bumped off. I think you have less than one second of delay time for the AA. When I am boxing I cast clerics fixed IVU spell (5ish second cast) then quickly tab over and hit reg invis aa. Sometimes I have two computers and can play musical keyboards until I get both of them to land.

Just swap the abilities in the line and change the pause to suit your lag latency. I have yet to find a situation you can't adjust for on simple key presses or alt activates ect.

Can you have less than one second pause? Sorry for the long winded explination, this question is basically the short version of my above post.

Happen to remember what thread it was that had the Group CoH Macro? New and still in the process of creating macros for simple stuff like this so a rough template of one that works would help out alot. Thanks.

 

[Goatse Moneyshot]

are your mages not high enough for the group COTH spell that eats pearls?

 

[nyghteyes]

Just take the delay out completely? It was more along the lines of just a multiline example. Everyones latency/setup is different.
