Question - KA and pulling close mob or why some are ignored?

[studace]

Using EMU - KA 12.001 - April 2021
I keep running in to an issue across multiple zone.
My tank decides not to pull mobs that are close, but not "ready to attack".. and seems to add them to ignore list.
One example - South Karana - killing mob that spawns Quillamain.. it spawns every minute or so.. if a cat spawns.. then my toon is sitting.. gets hit and kills it.
If an elephant calf spawns, he just ignores it. I tried moving my character a bit away.. tried.. same thing.. I tried adding "an elephant calf" to the kissassist.info file.. same thing.
I've tried different pull radius and camp radius.. I keep seeing messages that this mob is added to ignore list.
any suggestions?

What is interesting is at one point.. I tried my mage.. targeted his pet.. did /mac kissassist pullerpettank
and my mage would get up and melee attack the elephant calf (odd?).. and was working fine for an hour or so... then it stopped and I can't duplicate that behavior now...

Try turning off Lev if active on the puller. It can sometimes make them float above the nav mesh so no path is available, and it makes it seem random on failing.

You can see if these tips from a couple years ago help too. Turning debug on can give you more info on why KA is failing at a certain point.

No lev on puller.. also, KA sees the mob.. and a message is listed that the mob is added to the ignore list. Is there some configuration of how or why a mob is added to the ignore list? I'll look into debug

 

[studace]

ok, here is what I figured out.. when another one of my PCs is near, then it won't kill it.. but I moved the PCs away (who are in the same group) and it does...
That doesn't seem to be how it should work, since you would normally want your PCs near each other in the camp..

@studace I posted a macro that will help you spawn Quillamain with instructions, This was done years ago so not sure if it still works. Hate that uni.

Thanks for that
On the server I’m on - it is basically killing a PH that spawns Quill - and you kill it every 60 secs or so - quill spawns every 10 min or so
I’m 8 for 22 on cloak drops today

yea, the hardest part is finding the mob that is the placeholder. once you find the placeholder it is easy, other than chasing down the mob and killing it, over and over, and over again.

 

[studace]

well.. this PH doesn't move.. so maybe something different here.. is pretty easy to find.. just irritating to keep killing.. and now it is working.. and I just check in every 10-15 minutes and kill Quill - I have 4 mages posted around the zone corners...
