Hi all. Got a 115 wizard, trying to use this. It works, but I run oomana quickly. Won't click mod rods. Won't click robe. I'm sure I'm missing something simple.

Also yesterday on a raid, was spam casting gambit, interrupting the cast to start casting it again...
 
Sorry for the delay. It should be using mod rods if you have harvest enabled. It won't do the robe click. I suppose I could add it.

Were you oom when it tried to chain cast gambit? I need a way to replicate your issue.

It's designed to maximize DPS, not conserve mana. You need to have good raid support to not run oom. You can change burn settings to use less mana.
 
The wizard was not out of mana while chain casting gambit. 60ish I think. But nowhere near empty.

It clicks Druzzil Harvest, so I'm thinking harvest is enabled. But doesn't click mod-rods. It's not burning, ever. And (clearing out WWL right now looking for luck augs) runs out of mana quickly. (Every 8 to 10 mobs, is out of mana)
 
Something that lets the wizard dump his mana burning sounds great! I am going to give this a try.
 
1629528676062.png So it should use all mana regen as soon possible if mana is less then (70%).. If you are sitting on it, it does you no good. I am not up on coding, but the rules should say if less then 70 use mod rod/harvest/gambit (wait 20 seconds for mana #, keep running cast script)/robe (chest item). Maybe add a disqual statement for mobs on xtarget for gambit however, your not going to trigger it in a group setting for the most part...? also can add "if syllable of refreshment" to ({use idyllic gambit} if mana is less then 90)... the script line isnt a real discussion, just breaking out what it could say... if you get a spell refresh off Claw, reuse the spell timer reset..

Much of the logic you suggest is in the code. I'm not sure why gambit is going crazy at 70%, but if it's refreshed by claw, and you're still below the harvest point (default 70%), it will use it again. It should use gambit if you're in combat, and highest harvest spell if not. I can show you the code if you like. There's quite a bit of logic on the back end.

Do you have burns enabled? I'll have to look into the mod rod issues. The wizards should be using them if they have charges and you have the right settings enabled. /nuke settings to see.
 
I dont suppose there's a chance you could do a quick demo video or a little bit more of an overview for the program or something? Thank you for your consideration.
 
I could help update spells if you need a hand. I didn't see it on the mqnext repo to see the source to add to and submit. I assume there is just an array for each class that needs the spells added?
 
When will TOL spells updated?
I'll make some time this week to update as much as I can. I had already started, but got hit with the suspension wave, and don't have level 120 boxes yet, so I can't test anything.

Updated for ToL Spells (Wizard, Mage, Druid, Enchanter, Ranger, Beast). Looking for some input on DPS rotation (including burns) for beast, zerker, rogue...

Here's an updated MQ2AFNuke DLL for MQ2 Legacy.

I have wizzy. I keep getting message DoCommand - Coundn't parse '/casting "Harvest of Druzzil" alt'
 
Hi Jimbob,
About mag spell weave, according to Sancus in thread(https://forums.daybreakgames.com/eq/index.php?threads/magician-spell-weave-rotation-changed.280805/), "RS -> Of Many -> Chaotic -> Spear is the optimal ITC weave" in almost every situation.
Current afnuke weaver is RS -> Chaotic ->Of Many -> Spear without twincast and RS ->Of Many -> Spear-> Spear(lower level) with twincast.
I checked the 120lv chaotic and 115lv spears. 120 chaotic has more base damage than 115 spears.

So I suggested changing afnuke weaver to RS -> Of Many -> Chaotic -> Spear regardless of whether there is twincast

I'll put it at the top of my to-do list. I trust Sancus won't lead us astray.
 
Is there a way to turn off the automatic casting of the spell twincast (not aa version). I love manual assist in a raid setting but hate loosing twincast on trash. Specifically a level 100 wiz.

It's not currently an option, but it wouldn't be difficult to add.
 
Hi, Jimbob. Is it possible to make mind line dd( mindreap, mindrift etc) top priorty of the enc's spell rotation, because they trigger synergy.
 
No. It will first check if target get 3 dots( mind votex- throtting grip- perplexing constiction) before it uses DDs
So, you want them prioritized completely over the DoTs (Even Mind Vortex)? You will have less DPS on the enchanter for a small synergy gain... But I can add the option as a toggle. It will certainly make your mages happy. Do you want them prioritized over Composite Reinforcement too?

Yes,please. Composite reinforcement is the first so that mindreap will be enhanced too.

And I have read an article saying the CI(Calculted insanity) is better used in full burn. Currently, Afnuke will not use CI until IOG is gone.

The problem with this idea is that it doesn't work in practice (at least in raids). If I pop CI during a burn (in raids), I never use a single counter from CI, and it fades. This is both with and without a bard / FE. Black Wolf (Greater wolf now) with Auspice put you at/over the 100% crit threshold, and this appears to stack, but since counters aren't used, it's not applying to spells. If I have a druid and no bard, then it still applies. I'm barely able to use any counters. If I have neither, I pop CI with IoG. The problem is it's really situational, and this post has many inaccuracies. It was probably written by a magician trying to get more ADPS.

As for prioritizing DDs over DoTs, it's a significant decrease in enchanter DPS if there are multiple mobs (though the plugin won't multi-DoT, since that's situational), and the benefit from the synergy (for the whole DPS group) is less than the enchanter's DPS contribution. Maybe I'll parse this again to see if it's still true. It was in previous expansions.

I will make both toggle options that are off by default. Something like PrioritizeDDs, and UseCIWithIoG... I'm open to name suggestions. :)

Composite should always be the first. Enc himself can benefit from the buff.
CI indeed is very hard to be used up because it only affacts enc's dd and it has 27 counters with only 4 min duration(after focused). Now I only memorize 3 dots+ mindreap, most time enc just casts mindreap-throtting grip-throtting grip-throtting grip. Only mindreap will consume CI's counter. But CI will consume 2 counters with ITC, I think it's another reason to use it with burn.
I seldom multi-dot mobs in raid or in group, but I agree it is sometime better dots before dds.
So making two toggles is a good idea. But the point of prioritizing some dds is for the synergy they trigger, and what I meant was only put Mind line dd before dots, so I suggest the toggle name PrioritizeSynergy or Synergyfirst(‘’Prioritize‘’ is a hard word for non-native English speaker like me:D)for better understanding.

You should have more DDs on your spam key if you're using an Alliance rotation. Using only one will not proc alliance most of the time unless ITC is running.

So, I went back and checked to make sure, but if you /nuke megaburn on, you will use CI with IoG. It was originally for the wizard to use AD and FD at the same time, but I made the enchanter use CI at the same time as IoG too. I added the option called "SynergyFirst" as you suggested. Let me know if these two work as intended. I can't test on my Enchanter.
