Question - KissAssist on 2nd box, following/assisting a non-macroed main box

[Brikker]

Hi all, brand new KissAssist user here. Apologies if this has already been answered or I missed the obvious info; I went through the KA guides and didn't see any settings that jumped out as addressing this.

Basically, I'm using the MQ2 for ROF/EMU's and playing on a server that allows 2-boxing. I'm main-boxing a monk (actually playing it with just a few tools like MQ2Melee) but I wanted to use KA on my 2nd box, a shaman (instead of having to broadcast numerous commands).

Is there a way to make the shaman /stick to my monk while he goes around and does his thing, assisting with the parameters I set up in the .ini (spells, buffs, pet etc) during combat and returning to /stick after combat? Or do I always have to broadcast commands like /stick once combat ends?

I did successfully automate both monk as tankpuller and shaman as assist when I first downloaded MQ2, but that was just pulling to a static camp that the shaman stayed at. That works for grinding some zones but I find that certain smaller, narrower places it's easier/safer to run around and just kill as I go.

Thanks in advance!

/chase on

/chase on

And that will follow indefinitely? Also, it's as good as /stick? I guess I interpreted what that option does wrong! Will give it a shot. Thanks, mule.

Only other issue I have now is the Shaman, for some reason, spams the cure spell I put under the Cures area even if there is no disease/poison on the target. Seems to just chain cast spam it no matter what I put (e.g. Disinfecting Aura, or Disinfecting Aura|Poison, or Disinfecting Aura|Disease).

The shaman is reading the Kissassist_Buffs.ini file to check if someone is debuffed. Check that file and see if anyone has anything in the Debuffs entry.

If you're not using EQBCS you could use that to help you too it will let you send commands to your shaman from your monk so you don't have to alt tab to send the command. like /bct shamanname //useitem fellowship

All that is in my buffs.ini is this:

[1944]
Day=21
Hour=10
Zone=72
Buffs=|Talisman of the Brute|Regrowth of Dar Khura
Blockedbuffs=|NULL|NULL|NULL|NULL|NULL|NULL|NULL|NULL|NULL|NULL
AmILooting=0
MyRole=assist

If you're not using EQBCS you could use that to help you too it will let you send commands to your shaman from your monk so you don't have to alt tab to send the command. like /bct shamanname //useitem fellowship

Yeah that is what I do currently, just wanting to see if there is a true way to automate it while mobile instead of at a set camp spot.

I'm also finding that Celestial Fists (monk epic 1.0) doesn't stay buffed up, regardless if I have it in Buffs or on Combat. It seems to only use it once per fight...

I have also noticed that the two characters don't always loot, for some reason. Seems kind of random whether they do or do not.
Also couldn't get a discipline to go off on the monk during combat, even when I just copied what some of the compiled Monk ini's had but with the name of the disc I wanted to use (Innerflame Discipline). This is what I had for the disc, which didn't work:

with DPSOn=1

DPS1=Innerflame Discipline|98

I thought maybe I had to put it under the Buffs section and do Innerflame Discipline|end|100 or something like that, but that seemed like it would make it cast out of combat?

 

[saar]

for looting uncheck and check the always greed or need sections as it sometimes won't loot items (like if the entry was done prior to running mq2autoloot) but after fixing it by rechecking your option it will take off again looting without issue.
you need to do this

DPS1=Innerflame Discipline|98|Me

dps defaults to the target your fighting, so need to label it as self to cast it on yourself

So I'm not sure what you mean by the "always greed or need" sections. I'm using MQ2 RoF on an EMU server; did you mean something that is a part of Advanced Looting on Live?

As for the Disc code: I tried that and it still doesn't work =/ It says in the MQ2 window [MQ2] ** Innerflame Discipline on >>Myname<< but no disc is actually used. Could the disc have an internal name different from what is listed in the Combat Abilities window?
