Problem - KA Burns Inconsistent

[Tangtown]

I run a Druid in my group and using EQBC and the /burn command he was typically consistent at lining up his burns with my Enchanter for maximum DPS. Lately I have noticed his DPS is way down and I have been using the same .ini and as far as I remember I haven't touched the burn section in months.

First I noticed hitting the burn key was only working some of the time so I switched to using Dannet and EQBC at the same time to increase my chances of one of them firing, this seems to have helped that issue. The problem I can't seem to figure out is not all of my AAs will cast, it seems to hit a random assortment but almost never all 7 burn abilities.

Is the speed of burns regulated by the DPSInterval in the DPS section? If not is there any way to put a buffer in between the abilities. I am thinking maybe they are firing fast and lag is causing some abilities to be skipped over.

My ini is below, improved Twincast and Destructive Vortex seem to be the ones that miss most frequently unfortunately.

[Burn]
BurnSize=7
BurnAllNamed=0
Burn1=Blessing of Ro
Burn2=Focus of Arcanum|100
Burn3=Season's Wrath|100|Cond13
Burn4=${InvSlot[Chest].Item.Name}|100
Burn5=Destructive Vortex|100
Burn6=Nature's Fury|100
Burn7=Improved Twincast

Burn doesn't take a value. It just cycles your burns one time

If you want to use a value, use it in dps with a condition

Your toons will not run their routines in real time... sometimes they lag on instructions. especially high condition setups will often just take a few seconds to get rolling. My wizard is the worst of this. The spell gems should never have color given the settings, but they can often go 1-2 seconds between casts for no really good reason. You can kinda fix this by limiting conditions as much as possible, using the FPS controls within macroquest to ensure the virtual frame rate on background tasks is high as you can get it without becoming a problem, or ensuring your video card isnt throttling background tasks, but you'll never make it go away. I have to shut off models and names on raids or KA gets super laggy.

You could also run MQ2AFnuke. it does a fairly good job of managing DPS.

Add your VV files under:

For desktop consumers - less waiting and more doing with PC-compatible desktop memory from AMD

It will Fly like binary code.
