I still run into small annoying problems, like my wizzy using Kissassist, LOVES to wait until I’m about 5 seconds into a port spell cast and then sit down and load back the other spell it thinks should be there…. I haven’t figured out how to prevent that without unloading kiss then restarting it later.
I had the same problem with my Druid, just make a "PAUSE" social just for the Druid err...Wizzie and use that before you mem or cast a transport spell. Saves you a lot of the Arggghhh, noises you make lol.

I'm happy to say I've dinged 120 on my main, with a large hat tip to the community here for assisting with the grind. My alts are all coming up the curve nicely between 115-118. The xp gained from doing mercenary and partisan quests in ToV were a great way to plow through 119 and I will continue to do the rest of the zones as the youngsters catch up and improve their gear.

The latest challenge I am pursuing is how to effectively use MQ2Paladin in a group or raid setting where I am not the main tank - in other words, how to maximize dps, without using taunt and many of the spells and abilities that have an aggro component built into them. I am sure there is a great answer to this so I look forward to diving into some youtube videos to find out.

check the overview.

we only do tank stuff if we're in a tank mode or assigned as main tank - otherwise we don't.

the sticky is always a good place to double check and follow it.

@Enormo … you picked a cleric as a tank. That’s good you’ll be able to rez yourself at least…HAR!

but more often i just turn off labels and look at the dots. Im not sure if there is a smarter way people optimize that.
1682385028774.pngToggling the number 2 option here turns off all npcs on the map, but keeps all of the helpful labels on the map itself. Still not super optimal, but another option.

/MQP to briefly pause kissassist, then /MQP again to resume action.

Update: Chase is NOT the best mode for TOFS. The bots do NOT ice skate well 🤣 It looked like a 1980's roller derby out there

Yup, found this out quite some time ago on my first entry there boxing. I pause all automation on entry and walk them by to where i want to go or even lazier, I pause and move my mage manually and coth :😜

Saw this in the patch notes:

April 24, 2023:
- Fix an issue where the loader would spam the log file with an error if more than 64 eqgame.exe processes were running.

Some of you guys go REAL HARD on your bot game and I gotta respect that

I've been humming right along with my little 5 man group plus our hired help (usually the rogue merc, with the cleric popping in to buff). I'm confident enough that the pal/shm combo can heal my group in virtually all group content...although to be fair i have been outlevelling almost everything i've been doing so maybe that's not a given once i get everyone to 120 and doing current content...

I'd like to turn on a dps meter to see how my chars are performing during xp situations. It will be a way to test out what I might do with my 6th slot, and even if someone might be replaceable later on down the line. I'm leaning toward adding a second rogue because I'm happy with how the first one is working out. I think rogue dps will only get stronger as i feed it better weapons and AA's, and importantly the rogue never runs out of mana like the wizzy does.

Do most people use the MQ2DPSAdv that is preloaded, or is there a better mousetrap?

Follow up question, and this one is open to debate -- is there any downside you can see to running 2 rogues? Or something I'm dreadfully missing by not adding X class?

Pal - main tank
Shm - slows and heals, plus dots
Wiz - really just DPS, but occasionally the "port to bind" is helpful for shuttling back and forth to places that arent near a portal. Might be replaced in the long run.
Ench - CC and back up slows and some better than expected dps with charm
Rogue - pure dps, and a hidden collectable machine
X

If you told me that any particular class was at least like 90% of the rogue dps, plus it had this great ability that would really help it might be worth considering. And since the new style for drops is mostly class independent I don't have to worry about all the leather stuff rotting, just a few primary items.

For me a Mage is great DPS and for a box crew, CotH is a huge help. You don't have a pet setup there so pet stuffs won't be useful there, though.

On DPS Parsing I'm old school and still use GamParse. I really like the other features like Loot tracking, faction, and the rest.
