Problem - enchanter pet assisting?

[dekar56]

hey guys i am having an issue i read the basic instructions guide and i have tried PetTank and i have tried assist pet, and just normal assist on the enchanter pet with my 3 necros, but kissassist will not fire off, only when i target the enchanter himself, but that causes issues because i am playing the enchanter and pulling + mezzing and with 3 necros and in combat with a mob, i go to mez another mob or pull and they throw dots on that one and its causing issues, how do i make them assist the pet and only go off his % not mine? so i am free of them dotting what i am pulling or trying to remez? any help would be appreciated.

you could try making one of your necros the pet tank guy have the other 2 assist him then you can pull with the chanter still.

Actually, running into the same this using various macros (enchanter pet not assisting)

The MQ2Melee plugin is not doing it
KA is not sending in enchanter pet
RD is not sending in enchanter pet.

I even tried making a holyshit

holyshit3=/if (${Me.Pet.ID} && !${Me.Pet.Combat} && ${Target.Distance}<=100 && ${Target.ID}==${Me.GroupAssistTarget.ID}) /pet attack

And nada... but "/pet attack" is working.

Was just noting this last week, and today had time to work on trouble shooting it some more.

Working fine for shaman, mage, sk... just something specific to enchanter pet right now

i find it very annoying, because i thought you could target a pet and they would assist it, but that does not work for enchanter pets? its the best pet i have and seems to tank better than the necro with more hp, and i like to manage the cc + send him in to tank, and go off assisting the enchanter pet but it doesnt work

 

[kaen01]

if i understand it correctly

Chanter1 - Tank with pet.
necro1 - assist tankpet
necro2 - assist tankpet
necro3 - assist tankpet

if i remember right.

chanter1 should do /mac kiss PetTank
necro1-3 should do /mac kiss assist ${Group.Member[Chanter1].Pet}

sometimes kiss dont like having a non pc targetted when it starts, so putting it in the command you call to start allways works though.

this is exactly what i am trying to get kaen01, i will try this out thank you for the reply will let you know if it works or not, but yes thats what i am trying to do so i can keep pulling with the enchanter and the necros will stop assisting me as i mez and dot them and cause chaos in RoS lol

- - - Updated - - -

ok so i tried it, with the exact wording and spelld the way you have it there and its not working the necros are still assisting the enchanter and dotting his targets he is switching to keep mezzed, please if anyone can help me or give me the exact wording or something i need to do to make this work i would really appreciate it

 

[kaen01]

hmmm

another idea was to set necro1 as pettank, and you assist of him, then turn his pets taunt off, and leave your chanter pets taunt on.

now you are free to pause your macro and mez and pull, while he picks the main target to kill and your pet will assist of him along with the other necros.

Mq2Melee has 2 settings for pets:

petassist=1
petengagehps=98

If that doesn't work, try making this as a downshit

/if (${Me.CombatState.Equal[COMBAT]} && ${Me.Pet.ID} && ${Target.PctHPs}<98) /pet attack

 

[ctaylor22]

Group main assist will be set to the master of the pet, but the MainAssist can be a pet. If in a group, it is not a good idea to set any group member that will be switching targets as mainassist or their pet. Set one of the necro's as pettank and have everyone assist off him. Just set the enchanter to attackat 100%

 

[dekar56]

ok guys this finally worked for me thank you all for your help i appreciate it

- - - Updated - - -

my issue was when i was using said command it would make the enchanter main assist, so what i had to do was get rid of him being main assist and they assist the pet

Chanter1 - Tank with pet.
necro1 - assist tankpet
necro2 - assist tankpet
necro3 - assist tankpet
??????

Get a tank or a merc tank.

Sorry about the necro post...
I've tried the /mac kissassist assist ${Group.Member[NameOfMyEnchanter].Pet} approach on my enchanter, and run it on my mages (after running KA on enchanter with PetTank) but the result I get is:

[MQ2] There is 2 command line parameter(s)
[MQ2] P0: assist
[MQ2] P1: Jabantik00
...
[MQ2] KissAssisting >> NameOfMyEnchanter << at 99%
[MQ2] NameOfMyEnchanter is a PC Enchanter

Any suggestions as to what makes the macro assist the PC and not the pet, even though it's passed on as a parameter?

 

[ctaylor22]

Yes. Kiss will check if the main assist is a pet and set the master as the MA. Because a pets target may not be the same target as the Masters. The Master targets a mob and then tells the pet to attack, but before that happens the pet can have a different target. If you assist off the pet, then your group could end up on a different target than the Pet's Masters target. The pet does NOT determine the target to attack, the pet's master does.

 

[Tanek]

Hello, and thanks for replying.

So, to be sure I understand it correctly.

[MQ2] KissAssisting >> NameOfMyEnchanter << at 99%

does the same, behind the scenes as

[MQ2] KissAssisting >> Jabantik00 << at 99%

and periodically checks if the enchanter pet died and got resummoned with a new name, to assist that one?

 

[ctaylor22]

The MA will become the Pets master, so the pets name is irrelevant. But if you get it to assist the pet and the pet dies, then you will have a problem if the pet is summoned with a different name.
