Question - KA setup team help

[Abbath]

Just a quick one guys, have a mage currently pet tanking and pulling for the group. Mage is pulling with pet. So he runs off, pet attacks, holds pet and runs back to group.

Have an ench and 2 wizards with 2 healer mercs

problem is sometimes he pulls 1-2 mobs which would be ok but as the pet is the tank it can get messy sometimes.

I am thinking having the ench to pull? is that viable?

What would you do?

Wiz, Wiz, Ench, Mage , Hmerc, Hmerc

Pet tanking.

Also i am trying to work out what format i can use to change the pulling method to a spell, i do not know the syntax.

Currently it is pull: pet
How do i make it an AA such as malosinete or another spell? i tried : *spell name*|aa and just spell name but it didnt work/



Appreciate the input guys, KA is really great, better than the others i have seen. definitely donating this month

AA's are currently not supported for pulling in the latest versions of KA. (They were working previously, but a change stopped that and they haven't been added back in.)

You have a chanter. Why not just set it up to mez, and that way the mage pulling 2 isn't an issue?

Chanter pulling with Tash should be fine as well. Definitely something to think about. Have Mage set as PetTank, chanter as puller, and wizzies just running as assist.

For using a spell to pull you just put spell name in

[Pull]
PullWith=Sha's Reprisal <==Just the spell name
MaxRadius=600
MaxZRange=100
PullWait=0
PullRoleToggle=0 <==Set this to 1 (on) if Puller has a merc out or merc may follow
ChainPull=0
ChainPullHP=90
ChainPullPause=30|1

The Pull excert from that page

Pull Settings
A new section [Pull], see below, will appear in your ini file. New zone sections will also appear in the zones you pull in so you can predefine mobs you want to pull or hunt. If left on default it will go after any mob with in the pull radius.

Role=Puller
This role basically duplicates the oldie but goldie puller.mac. It will pull mobs within a certain radius back to camp for your party to kill. Target Main Assist for this role.

Role=PullerTank
This role combines pulling and tanking. The character will pull mobs back to camp then engage them when within defined melee distance. Target your self for Main Assist with this role.

Role=PullerPetTank
This role combines pulling with pet tanking. The character will pull mobs back to camp then engage them with their pet (Magician/Necromancer/Beastlord). Target your self for Main Assist with this role.

Role=Hunter
This role duplicates the old hunter mac. It will run your character around a zone and hunt any or predefined mobs with the pull radius. Target yourself for Main Assist with this role.

PullWith=Melee/AA/Pet/Spell/Disc/Ranged Item Declare what you want to pull mobs with.

Melee will attack the mob to pull.

Pet will run up to about 75% range and send in pet to pull.

AA/Spell/Disc will run up to about 75% range and cast on the mob to pull.

Ranged item Must define 2 arguments 1) Item to pull with and 2) Ammo slot item. (Separated by | )
MaxRadius=400 Radius you want pull mobs with in
MaxZRange=50 Z Axis Radius you want pull mobs with in. Default =50 for hilly zones try 100-200
PullWait=0 Time in seconds to wait looking for mobs if no spawns are up ie you killed everything. Used mostly for camping named so you are aren't looking for mobs every second. Default=0
PullRoleToggle=0/1 - Off/On - Toggles you puller before pulls and turns it off once back in camp after a pull. You must be group leader to do this. Added for play styles that insist on merc healers staying in camp on pulls. (Currently only active in PullerPetTank role).

I used a mage to do what you're asking and just had the enchanter mez. I've also set up my enchanter to chain pull for the mage. That seems to work okay. You dont' really need two healers, you need DPS.
