Problem - Lazt Beasty - won't melee

[hoosierbilly]

kissassist altered to load a custom loot.ini file. Shouldn't cause any issue?!? should it?

Anyway setup new group to play with looting macro. Noticed after couple days my lazy beasty is not entering melee. Does send in pet and cast dps spells, just won't get off her B**** A** and help melee the mob. I freely admit I am far more focused on the looting macro than my lazy beast and have not tried very hard to fix this. Undoubtedly I messed up the ini settings, just can't figure out where/how.

[Maskoi]

is the toon casting dps spells?

 

[hoosierbilly]

yes, will send pet to assist and cast spells dps, and buffs including combat buffs. Just won't melee.

 

[Maskoi]

Sounds like yo need to move you tank closer to the party

 

[hoosierbilly]

he is 40 to 45 away, is that really too far?

AutoFireOn=1

change to

Am I seeing this right? Hoosierbilly using Kissassist. What is the world coming to?

No choice. Ninjadvloot 6.x has to work with kissassist. Put a group together for testing. Was very surprised how smooth the two macros worked together.

AutoFireOn=0

Really. That's my mistake. I knew that. I did go through the ini at least 4x trying to figure out what I was doing wrong. Don't know how I missed this.

 

[ctaylor22]

LOL. I am stumped. I don't even know how to reply to this. Really.

 

[hoosierbilly]

The AutoFire=0 did not work. I moved the beasty to 22 away from the tank, that worked. I'm a bit surprised, but so be it. Kinda wonderin how far is too far for melee assist to work.

 

[ctaylor22]

I don't think there is a range for melee if you are assisting, may be a limitation in MQ2melee. If you are assisting the MA and you are melee, KA uses the /killthis command which is a mq2melee command.

 

[hoosierbilly]

MQ2Melee is 85% of the reason I don't use kissassist. Words can't describe how much I hate that plugin. I will be so happy when kissassist 9 is fully functional and I can delete MQ2Melee once and for good again.

 

[Incognito]

MQ2Melee is certainly quirky. I was trying to manually run one of my toons while the rest of the grp was using KA, we were doing the J5 merc quest for each member of the grp. There were plenty of times that I could not engage melee on the intended target but rather would often force/switch to another target, sometimes that particular stage's NPC. Luckily those NPCs are not attackable. I fought like hell trying to get control. I kinda laughed since KA wasn't even running and even I couldn't remotely blame it.

 

[hoosierbilly]

Great, my chanter and wizard have decided since the beasty quit melee again they would fill in and have started melee attacking the mobs. I really should put some more effort into these idiots, they are the most troublesome of my 3 groups.

That's the best advice I've read all day.
