Question - MezDebuffOnResist

[timmy]

MezDebuffOnResist=1
MezDebuffSpell=Bite of Tashani

i'm rocking that on my enc, but i never see him use bite on a resist. i'm curious if that requires MezDebuffSpell requires an actual spell and not the Bite of Tashani aa. which would make sense. but ... maybe it could use the aa too!

 

[timmy]

i actually tried this using proclamation of tashan instead of bite of tashani with the actual spell loaded in a gem and it would not fire on a resist. has anyone seen this functionality work?

 

[Almafa]

what I see is my chanter keeps debuffing and spamming mez on mutiple targerts. looks like AE spells keep on firing every time I have mobs on agro...it could just be that I did not set something up right...I don't know...

I am curious what you find out.

The call on resist uses the normal CastWhat routine, so you can use anything to debuff the mob on resisting. Are you getting the Mez Resisted -> Mob Name < message?

There is also a check if the mob is already Tashed to NOT try and debuff the mob again. So you don't get caught in a loop.

 

[timmy]

i get this in the MQ window:



and this in the regular eq spam:



(different mobs on these screen captures, but behavior and info reported to me are the same)

after a resist, enc waits for global cooldown and attempts to mez again.

[CODE lang="ini" title="mez ini section"][Mez]
MezOn=1
MezRadius=125
MezMinLevel=90
MezMaxLevel=118
MezStopHPs=80
MezDebuffOnResist=1
MezDebuffSpell=Proclamation of Tashan
MezSpell=Deceive
MezAESpell=Neutralizing Wave|4[/CODE]

tashan is mem'd with a dedicated gem. i tried w/ bite of tashan, the aa ability, but that too wouldn't fire.

What are you using as part of your debuff's. If the mob is already Tashed before trying to mez, the enchanter will not try and tash again if resisted.

I would either try and get a debug log of this and/or create a hotkey that shows if the mob is Tashed. /echo ${Target.Tashed.ID} - ${Me.AltAbilityReady[${MezDebuffSpell}]} and then hit that hot key when you see the mob resist message.

 

[timmy]

it's never tashed before mez attempts. at least, i'm reasonably certain this is the case. mez attempts always happens before the dps routine, don't they? they certainly seem to. mez seems to even "fire" before AE and i only speculate on that because i have beam of slumber in my ae section and the enc will invariably try to mez before using beam.

i've watched him, on his screen, over and over to try and figure out why he hates to debuff if he gets a resist, so i'm somewhat comfortable saying my anecdotal evidence is correct. i'll try out the hotkey and see if i can produce a debug log. for science!

Having the exact same issue. MezDebuffOnResist is set to 1 in the ini and when the mob resists a mez instead of casting the designated debuff, Tashan, the chanter just tries to cast mezz again. 2 mezz resists and chanter goes splat.

Any help is greatly appreciated

i have same mez section in my ini
I use tash aura when pulling camps when lots of mezzing is needed

[Mez]
MezOn=1
MezRadius=150
MezMinLevel=90
MezMaxLevel=118
MezStopHPs=80
MezSpell=deceive
MezAESpell=Neutralizing wave|3
MezDebuffOnResist=1
MezDebuffSpell=proclamation of tashan

@Rocky1001 Are you seeing the MEZ Resisted -> SomeMobNameHere <- ID: #### in your EQBC/MQ window? You should be getting a message if the macro is seeing the resist. The check to cast the debuff is do you have MezDebuffOnResist turned on and your target is NOT Tashed(!${Target.Tashed.ID})

If you could post your mez section for me to look at.

 

[Rocky1001]

I am not seeing the MEZ resisted tag. Here's my mez section:

[Mez]
MezOn=1
MezRadius=50
MezMinLevel=54
MezMaxLevel=61
MezStopHPs=40
MezSpell=Rapture
MezAESpell=NULL
MezDebuffOnResist=1
MezDebuffSpell=Tashania
