Problem - Help with Eternally Buffing Bard ini

[ycleptjah]

Hi all,

Having some trouble with my bards...I have a box group of around 20, and the bards will stand there playing songs eternally or attempting to buff members not in their group. Not getting in and meleeing at all. Could someone troubleshoot this? Pasting my ini...thanks as always.

[Sic]

first thing that popped out was


that should be 80|10 and 85|15 not 80/10 and 85/15

This is a bad entry
DPS3=command|98|pet qswarm
should be something like( now keep in mind i think the /command thing is still broken with bards and kiss atm, hopefully that will get fixed up soon)

DPS11=command:/pet qswarm|99|Cond13
Cond13=${SpawnCount[${Me.Name}'s pet]}>0

Also - you have UseMQ2Melee=1 --- is mq2melee loaded? if not do a /plugin mq2melee then /melee load then /melee save

 

[ycleptjah]

Thanks, made those changes! Main problem seems to be them eternally trying to cast Symphony of Battle etc. on people outside their group, that's still going on.

 

[ctaylor22]

Is Symphony of Battle a group member only group buff?

 

[Many_Whelps]

You have neither eqbc nor dannet enabled, that is how kissassist communicates who needs buffs.

 

[hellfyre]

You have neither eqbc nor dannet enabled, that is how kissassist communicates who needs buffs.

I thought on the same PC the kissassist_buffs.ini handled the group buffing?

 

[ycleptjah]

Symphony of Battle is group only. I do have EQBC enabled, I'm currently running it on all 20 toons. Not sure what dannet is.

 

[eqtrader74]

You could try setting it to MA or Me only, so it won't bother looking at other groups:
Buffs13=Rapier of Somber Notes|Dual|Symphony of Battle|me


"Buffs9=Blade of Vesagran|weave"

I think |weave is for the DPS section. Try a |dual there too:

Buffs9=Blade of Vesagran|dual|Spirit of Vesagran

 

[AnotherJohn]

I am having the same problem with this entry:

Songblade of the Eternal|Dual|Symphony of Battle|Me

Not only does it try to buff my entire group individually it also tries to buff a second group which is in Dannet. It seems to be ignoring the |Me command. Hope this helps the troubleshooting.

 

[Many_Whelps]

Symphony of Battle is group only. I do have EQBC enabled, I'm currently running it on all 20 toons. Not sure what dannet is.

EQBCOn=0
DanNetOn=0

You may have EQBC running in your MQ2 build, but you don't have KA configured to use it.

 

[ycleptjah]

Tried these suggestions...same problem as AnotherJohn is running into.

 

[Many_Whelps]

"Buffs9=Blade of Vesagran|weave"

I think |weave is for the DPS section. Try a |dual there too:

Buffs9=Blade of Vesagran|dual|Spirit of Vesagran

And really, this shouldn't go in the [Buffs] section at all. Should go in the [DPS] so that you're sure to use it while in active combat. Otherwise you'll waste it between fights.

 

[AnotherJohn]

SA_krycek has a point with Blade of Vesagran since it is a very short term buff. I have mine set up as below and last time I played toon a few days ago it worked for me.

DPS14=Blade of Vesagran|75|Cond1
Cond1=${Target.Named} && ${Me.XTarget[1].Level}>=${Math.Calc[${Me.Level}-4]} || ${Me.XTarget[1].Level}>=${Math.Calc[${Me.Level}+3]}

This should get you around the buff spam and will fire while in combat to make the most of your short term buff. I have also restricted it with the condition which works well at level 75 on TLP. You can adjust the levels for your situation easily enough. However, there is still the problem of the spam casting of Songblade of the Eternal|Symphony of Battle which I have in the buff section since it is a 15 min buff and I want it up before combat since it will play through most fights. It never used to try to buff all the toons individually like it has started doing, I think since last patch. Not the worst thing in the world except it interrupts the Normal Twist which in my case is a mana song. Anyway, hope this helps ycleptjah and if anyone knows what is up with the spam buffing please let us know. AnotherJohn

 

[ycleptjah]

Still dealing with eternally casting Symphony of Battle, even with the suggestions made. |Me command being ignored...any other thoughts?

 

[sl968]

It's basically casting symphony of battle on toons that are not in the group even when told to just cast it on you.

Buffs18=Rapier of Somber Notes|Dual|Symphony of Battle|Me will cast it on non-grouped boxes...

BuffName|dual|BuffRecourse|Target

The |dual modifier allows for spells that have 2 (or more) parts, where the actual buff effect has a different name than the spell or ability used to cast it. Designed for recourse type spells, or newer spells that combine buffs, but can be used for lots of things. Example: Buffs1=Talisman of Soul's Unity|Dual|Exigent Focusing In this example, if the DUAL syntax is not used, KissAssist will rebuff Unity every 8-12 seconds where the other 3 or 4 effects last hours. MA, Me, Caster, Melee, and Class flags can be used with the dual modifier, but must be at the end of the line.

Yea that's what it's doing. I'm using Dual...this is the line I have

Buffs12=Rapier of Somber Notes|Dual|Symphony of Battle|me

 

[ctaylor22]

Yea, kiss supports the Me tag and it supports the Dual tag, but it was never setup to support both on the same entry. I have made a change to the source for the next version to allow for this.

Now in addition to this, I have found an issue with MQ2Twist that is causing this issue. Once MQ2Twist is fixed This should not be an issue.
