Question - Magician PullerTank issue

[shadetree]

I am very new at this, only been attempting to use MQ2 and kissassist a little over a week now, so I'm sure it's something I don't have set correctly.

If anyone could help me out, I'd really appreciate it.

Scenario: A magician, farming LB/DB 'weak' con mobs for TS components and diamonds. Attempting to pull & tank the mobs, with low level druid there mainly to loot and provide aura, and get whatever xp it can.

Problems:

1) Pet fairly often does not even engage mob, at all. (I'm looking for some way to disable the macro from putting pet on ghold, so it will attack mobs as they hit me, no matter what)

2) I stop casting any dps spells, at all. Will pull the mob back to camp, but then it hits me a round or two, merc heals me, then the mob starts beating on the healer merc - and I stand there doing nothing.

3) A roaming mob agros the druid, merc heals the druid, mob goes to the merc, and I stand there doing nothing, mob beating on the merc 10 feet from me.

4) Chain pull not working, at all. I never search for another mob until the current one in camp is dead.

5) I've been trying to figure out a way to ensure the magician does not move at all, to pull. I place him where I want him (where he has LoS and can hit mobs that are above him on the Z axis) but when he tries to pull those mobs, runs and gets too close, and loses LoS. Have tried setting CampRadius to 1, that doesn't work.

Anyway, whatever I have set wrong, if someone could please help, I'd greatly appreciate it!

We need to know exactly how many characters you have grouped and what mercs you are using.. Knowing that will help a lot. Also need to know what roll each play is setup as..

 

[Pyrochaser]

I believe ChaseAssist is a 1 or 0 variable not 25.

Update:

Also if you have ReturnToCamp enabled, it is recommended to turn off ChaseAssist by setting it back to "0"

I believe DPSOn is a 1 or 0 variable

As a caster I believe MeleeOn should be set to off "0"

Your Pet heals seemed to be turned off in the heals section, is this on purpose?

Also as a Mage, if your pet is the main tank, I would recommend user pullerpettank role instead of puller

Also PetCombatOn I believe is a 1 or 0 variable and should be set to "1" for your pet to engage in combat

Hope some of these help clear up the issue you are experiencing, KissAssist is a fantastic macro/plugin program and it really makes leveling so much more fun!

Your config is FUBAR !!!! - (soft reassuring pat on the back)

You can always check your config values against the manual located here.. but from what I see so far.. please change the following as was mentioned:

If ReturntoCamp=1.. ChaseAssist must be 0... (and vice versa) otherwise you will end up with a ping-pong situation running back and forth.

ChaseAssist is a 0 or 1 variable not 25.

DPSOn is 0 or 1.. your current value is not valid.

Go through and look at ALL your settings.. especially the ones Pyrochaser pointed out as wrong.

 

[shadetree]

Thank you very much! That was the issues.

 

[Pyrochaser]

Another thing to note now that my head is clear and I got some sleep is the DPS section.. If your mage is the puller you may want to lower the amount of DPS your mage is doing especially in the event of chain pulling. The way you have it configured your mage is going to be in the fight all the way until the mob is about 10% health and he/she casts their last DPS spell before it even begins to go look for another mob. The way KissAssist works from what I understand from other's posting is that it makes a fuill pass through the macro and all the DPS events configured before it does it checks for chain-pulling. What that means is even though you may have ChainPullHp=50 your bot is going to cycle through ALL the DPS spells listed before making the check for ChainPullHP which means since your last DPS spell is for 10% (DPS9=Gather Magnitude Rk. II|10) you will already be way below your ChainPullHP which makes your chain pulling very ineffective.

My Humble recommendation would be to either:

1. Cut back on the number of DPS, Pet heals, and Burn spells your mage-puller is executing. Your puller is looking more like a glass cannon DPSer and less like a quick blaster and go look for another mob puller.

or

2. Choose a different class to pull and run your KissAssist bots to assist off the pet tank (or Roll=PetAssist in your INI). i.e. Role=PetTank Set this in your mage's INI, which is new in KA 8.1.1
