I grabbed a InI from here from my Mage when he got 105 a couple days ago, To lazy to just update my own i guess. here's my problem. since i replaced my old one an didn't save it /bonk. My mage will go through dps spell cast but not cast any dmg spells but the mq window shows that he is doing it. it then will hit the Servant pet spell an it fires. i have messed with my ini an cannot figure out what my issue is. I have removed alot of the spells to make it simple an tried to get it working on my own with no luck. i will post it for you to see. please let me know where my problem is an i will start there an will fix a put in all my spells i have removed.

Nothing is glaringly wrong in your DPS section, but please run kiss on that toon and do a /kisscheck while running.

Fix and report back any errors in the DPS section it may report.

I don't know your actual spells, so relying on /kisscheck to determine if you actually have those spells.
 
Mem all the spells you want to cast.
Start Kiss
/setdps 1 2 3 4 5

1 2 3 4 5 are the spell gems in the order you want to cast the spells and Kiss will rewrite the dps section for you
 
I will give this a shot an see what happens, Its crazy as it shows that its being cast but its not casting anything but the rumbling servant spell line.

Having the same spell repeated isn't causing an issue is it? This is more towards Maskoi and THD

----Update----

This is a dumb question, but to use rank II spells you have to be a full access member correct? Mudpielen is your mage account full access? I know dumb question but sometimes the simplest issues are the easiest answers.

What if one of the spells you want to cast is an AA (well, guess thats not a spell heh), such as Force of Elements in this case? Is using the /setdps command able to take that into account or is it not possible with this method. Just curious for future endeavors :)

To the OP-

Rich (BB code):
DPS3=Spear of Molten Shield|85

This is not a spell. Guessing you meant Spear of Molten Shieldstone. Or will KA recognize abbreviated spells? I was fairly certain it did not.

And to be picky since I'm a number cruncher/DPS/ADPS person... your weave is kindof a low DPS one compared to what a lot of Mages use. If you're interested in some different setups let me (or others know).
 
I am surrounded by Heretics and Unbelievers.

Example:
Rich (BB code):
/setdps 1 3 4 5
[MQ2] Set DPS 1 3 4 5
[MQ2] This command will write over current DPS settings
[MQ2] WRITING: DPS1=Sha's Legacy|95
[MQ2] WRITING: DPS2=Binaesa Blood|90
[MQ2] WRITING: DPS3=Frostrift Lance|85
[MQ2] WRITING: DPS4=Rotsil's Bite|80
Add single AA/Disc/Spell/Item to first empty slot in Buffs,Burn,DPS,Heals,AE

  • /setdps spell 1 - Will add the spell in Gem 1. Valid selections are gems 1-12
  • /setdps item - Will add whatever item you have on your cursor.
  • /setdps disc 1 - Will add the disc in slot 1 of your Combat Ability window. Valid selections are slots 1-8
  • /setdps aa 611 - will add the AA, Battle Leap. AA numbers can be found in the AA Windows
This feature is just to speed up set up. You still need to edit your ini file.
 
Ok i have done everything you have said an fixed the spelling of a spell, so a /kisscheck has no errors. Still it shows in MQ window that what spells its casting but if goes through them an only first the remorslesss servant the rest of them it just spamms through fast. they don't fire i have done everything you have told me. If you look in the MQ window it says it using them but it fails to activate them

Something I noticed was this line:
Rich (BB code):
Buffs4=Large Modulation Shard|Summon|Summoned: Large Modulation Shard|1
Buffs5=Summoned: Large Modulation Shard|mana|40

When using this item, don't quote me on this, but I don't think you need the "Summoned:" in front of the item to use it.

When I use the 82 mage spell Wand of Ethereal Transvergence it summons the item Rod of Ethereal Transvergence so my code looks like:

Rich (BB code):
Buffs4=Wand of Ethereal Transvergence|Summon|Rod of Ethereal Transvergence|1
Buffs5=Rod of Ethereal Transvergence|mana|50
My script executes cleanly with the item name and not having the field "Summoned:" in front of it. If the item in fact has that name in front of it, "Summoned:", then scratch my idea lol.
Maybe by having Summoned: in the script it's breaking the rest of it? Perhaps.

----Update----

When I tried adding Summoned: to my INI file i got the following error from MQ2:

Rich (BB code):
[MQ2] Summoned >> Summoned: Rod of Ethereal Transvergence <<
[MQ2] Summoning >> Summoned: Rod of Ethereal Transvergence << Failed - Check reagents, timer, etc

This would follow up with a turning off of that buff, and things didn't seem to work correctly after that. By removing the Summoned: I was able to get the buff to correctly fire after item was gone and timer rechecked, and all other parts of the INI seemed to function normally once again.

You could try a test, turn off your buffs sections, or completely remove the spells in it and replace with NULL and then see if your DPS kicks off like it should.

I have used Maskoi's response about /setdps /setheals and /setbuffs on multiple types of chars and it works to reduce the chances of mis-spells and other issues.

I've got an enchanter that doesn't use the 101+ nukes in the same way you're speaking of. the MQ window will say it's casting but it won't cast, and he's usually in the background and I tab over when I don't see any casting messages on my tank. I've got 2 105 enchanters on different accounts and the only real difference between the 2 is that the one that fails casting has a pet that shares the character's name. (I can't see how that would matter, but it's the only thing I could think of)

Toss this version of spell routines into your macro folder will solve the 101+ spell problem.

before i made my last post i deleted these lines, so its not that. sorry i should have been more clear. She is casting here pet buffs, slef buffs. an will cast remorless servant but only shows that she has casted other dps spell but doesn't cast
