Problem - Misc gem and spell re-memorizing

[Jax]

I don't know what changed ... I really should pay more attention to what I do in my ini files ... but, my SK is seemingly memming different spells in the misc gem that he doesn't even need to cast at the time.

For instance, I try and leave the vizat's skin buff in my spell 12 slot which is also my misc slot. I leave that there because it drops often and has a refresh timer after re-memming it.

Behavior now is it seems KA is almost randomly memming spells in that slot from other buffs like the pet for instance even when my pet is up.

Any idea what's going on? It will also leave the spell slot empty sometimes.

Also, if you are feeling magnanimous, feel free to make suggestion on the ini itself. This is killing in a static location.

Did you change anything in the ini lately?

 

[Inkie]

I think your Voice of Thule should be

Buffs8=Voice of Thule|MA

Do "Call of Gloomhaze" & "Livio's Covenent" stack?... I would expect they would cancel each other out and force a choice between hps to attk or hps to mana...

I'm still learning my SK but these might improve things.

... GoM section, (assuming the AA is up to date, this equates to a mana free cast) I put big lifetap, and spear spells here

... maybe move Reflexive Rancor / Vicious bite to heals as a Tap?... assuming the reflected heal is the major reason to use it.

... I have the Impose for Power & Terror spells in my aggro section, they don't do damage, if the SK holds aggro without it, it's not really helping.

... I lead with Dire Strangulation (debuff) line of spells

Does this strange behavior start immediately or is it after a long session?

 

[Meistro]

I know they added the "re-mem the spell that was in set buff slot when macro startec" in 8.5
Mind this would Re-mem the spell that was in the slot when you STARTED the mac, not what it memed from saved spell set.

Thought in one of the 9.0x versions they removed this do to an uncontrolled mem-unmem-mem-unmem cycle that could not be explained. Not sure if they put it back in.

1st) I suggest if you have long "refresh" buffs you want to cast with "short" durations you keep them perma memed in a different slot

2nd) yes i loved that feature, and wish it would be returnrf (if it hasn't been) but maybe with a tweek...instead of re-meming what was there when mac started, it actually remems the spell set you have set to said KA ini.

Sorry been a bit lax in my playing do to summer activities, duties, and family medical issues, so i haven't been as up on running the new KA as I would have liked to have been.

 

[ctaylor22]

We added the ability in the Castwhat routine too ignore re-meming the previous spell back in the misc slot. The thought behind the remem procedure was to remem the spell that was originally in the misc slot after casting the current spell. There was a couple of issues with this and the biggest was pet gear, so there are a few calls to the castwhat routine where we pass a flag telling the routine to skip rememing spells. This feature may need some additional attention or just all together removed, but that is not my decision, so maybe we can get some additional feedback from Maskoi?

 

[Jax]

That makes a lot of sense now as to why the slot is empty sometimes.

Thanks for all the responses. Seems to be running somewhat ok now with having the spell I want in the misc there when I start the macro.

 

[Skyjet2000]

So I still have characters who are constantly unmeming/rememing previous spells.
If this was removed. Have attempted starting out completely fresh in the macro folder, ini's, new copy of KA etc. Still happening.
It causes them to mem a buff, not cast it, un mem it, and repeat this cycle.
COuld it be something in one of the ini's in the main MQ folder?

 

[Maskoi]

What version of Kiss are you using?

 

[Skyjet2000]

Hrm. Was 9.07
Upgraded to 9.08 and testing.

- - - Updated - - -

Yep. Even in 9.08. My wizard is meming a buff, unmeming it, rememing previous spell. Repeatedly. Sometimes she does eventually cast it, But she is still rememing her last spell always.

 

[ctaylor22]

Can you get me a Debug Dump and post it here. I need to see where the cast routine is causing this issue.

 

[Maskoi]

/write spells
then post your ini

I'm seeing the same things in my KISS, as well (still using 8.5.5.).

As far as Vizat's Skin goes, I make sure to put it in a spell gem that is NOT my miscellaneous gem. The memming process/refresh takes so long that sometimes it will cause KISS to hang and wait on refresh and casting... meanwhile, other mobs are beating on group members and shit, or the SK isn't pulling. I learned the hard way.

This explains many of my .... wonder why I died moments while grinding afk.
