So...

I am using a raid set up button that has

Code: 
/cwtna BurnedAllName off
/cwtna BurnAlways off
/cwtna UseAlliance on
/cwtna ForceAlliance on
/cwtna raidmode on
/cwtna usextargetbuffing on
/cwtna usextargethealing on
/cwtna slowall off
/cwtna slownamed off
/cwtna usewardaa off
/cwtna usevie off

For the bard the burnedallname still stays checked... Am I missing something somewhere?

The alliance ones turned on awa raidmode the rest are for others...

"burnedallname" isn't what the command is - never has been for any of them. "BurnAllNamed" is the correct command
 
Almost died from excitement when I saw Sic's video drop on YT for the highly anticipated Bard Class Plugin. So far been mostly a great experience. Not sure how the mez logic works with the plugin, but so far I've only seen my bard mez one time since switching to the plugin vs a KissAssist INI. The KissAssist INI was much more aggressive about mezing that the plugin. My SK has been taking 4-5 mobs without a mez going off and no mez break messages. I did notice that my bard was spam casting my Darkened Breath of Harmony and thought maybe that was causing some issues, but had pretty much the same behavior after deactivating it in the settings.

bard isn't casting aura at all. Didn't see an option to turn it off or on btw? Otherwise looks amazeballs

It does, we don't do it in safe zones, just like any other plugin, and would need to not be invis /byos etc, same as all things

zoning into a "regular" zone - not byos/invis, instantly sit down and memorize and then cast aura

As with all the plugins, please make sure how to provide information to help you.

Do you, for some reason, have something blocked or otherwise getting a red error message about darkened breath? (looking at code i can see something i missed - and i don't have a DBoH so i missed it actually, it isn't missing it) - but providing information is important =p

thanks will patch

Re: mezzing, we check it very early in the routine. And again, more specific information would be helpful - with mq2 enchanter/bard/nec we check mezzes based on animations --- so like what/where etc. also keep in mind kissassist treats mezzing and what it thinks broke mez differently, so with kiss you might see re-mezzing when it isn't necessary

Testing this out on a grind at 115. Working great so far.

I noticed the missing list was not yet populated. Is that still a work in progress?
Click to expand...
ah - in the window, yep got it, thanks --- while everyone is the same code, we have things like "does this class have mana" which is defaulted for bards being false, since many things re: mana doesn't affect them

Also, Brad is a drummer and still in an '80's Hair Band... He actually goes by Bradley. I knew him in high school. A bit of a narcissist, but a good drum player.
 
So, with the release of MQ2Bard, I have a question.

If I use MQ2Bard (I'm certain I will) I will be putting aside KissAssist. I use my bard as Master Looter with KA and using the Lootly Lau. With the CWTN / Sic plugin is there a way to pause the plugin automatically for the master looter to loot?

How do you guys running all CWTN have bot toon looting?


Thanks all,

BB~

no, we're not going to pause so you can loot.

I use all cwtn plugins (and have for years) and use lootly.

If for some reason I'm coming up on something that I need to manually dish loot on, I turn lootly off, I don't pull anything new, and hand out the loot

I rarely ever camp in a singular spot like it is 1999, and instead use ChaseMode on my non tank, and drive with my tanks.
 
BlueBug said:
Thanks for merging to this thread Sic, I wasn't sure I should have posted here instead.

So, if a CWTN toon is Master Looter it will automatically use Lootly to auto loot? Am I understanding that correctly?

Sorry, I've never used a toon with CWTN as looter so I'm clueless on not using KA and Lootly combo.



Thanks,

BB~

The cwtn plugins don't do anything with looting. Whatever you're using for looting does. I use lootly, chat uses mq2lootmanager.

We don't understand why you want to pause for the looting to happen? You don't need to stop moving around and doing things to loot. So perhaps the issue here is that you want it to be paused for a reason unknown to us.
One is a plugin, one is a Lua, and they should both be able to run at the same time without conflicting because they don't share behaviors that would conflict with each other. So there is no reason to think that there would be an issue with looting by using this plugin.

Thanks guys. I don't want especially to pause anything. I just don't know how to have a background toon auto loot using only CWTN plugins.

I'm running Lootly on the Master Looter, which happens to be my bard, but it's not looting even outside of combat. Maybe I've not gotten looty set up correctly?

That seems more likely. As bard (or any of the plugins) should not cause lootly to stop working. Perhaps a review of the way lootly is setup for you is needed. I'm not personally familiar with it.
 
I'm probably (most definitely) an idiot, but after messing about with BYOS/BYOS Custom etc, I can't really figure out how to make the bard play resist songs? Psalm of Mystic Shielding/Elemental Rhytms etc.

Having a similar issue with overhaste. Fired up a lower(ish) bard and was surprised to see the pre-aura v3 overhastes weren't being used in the main rotations, nor tracked in the "spells and discs" section. Turning on BYOS and BYOS Custom did nothing since they're not tracked it would seem.
 
Guys I love it definitely buying it. I have 4 bards, 1 pee group. You just can't run a group without a bard today. Unless you not trying to get the max out of ur group. With this plugin just made my life easier 4 times easier. I will definitely have some question or ideas , but before that , I want to play with the plugin more. Again am loving every moment.
 
the entirety of RedGuides has had Blue Balls for years on this ...

thank you baby jesus (aka CWTN and Sic)

take a well earned bow

well, as with the byos/byos-custom - does the plugin *say* that it will use those songs? because if it doesn't, then no it wont.

like. what. specifically? I'm guessing "Warsong of the Vah Shir" and "Battlecry of the Vah Shir"

please see the "how to ask for help" as otherwise i'm just spending time guessing what you're talking about - fortunately you mentioned the v3 overhaste - but halp me halp you

Please see >>> Getting Started with CWTN plugins! (Movement, UI Window, Clickies, Pulling, ETC) Check Here First! <<< :)
 
@EQFoli no one thinks you're an idiot, and you should work towards not treating yourself that way either :p

I'll add a few resists and other things this morning, thanks for the info
 
I was able to have some fun with this last night, thank you @ChatWithThisName and @Sic for the work. Been a worthwhile wait on this one, and a happy finale to the class plugins. Looking forward to the future of your endeavors.

- Resist Corruption, Resist Corruption PBAE
- Mystic Shielding
- HasteV2
- Overhaste (v3)
- Fatesong,
- Fire Aria
- Cold Aria
- PsalmDS
- Psalms (Poison, Fire, Disease, Cold)

Thanks for this. I swear if anyone starts being a Karen and nitpicks anything about this plugin we are going to riot. Wonder if this will single-handedly increase the bard population in game across servers rofl? Kissassist has been great for my bard but time to move to something a bit more plug and play. Now my whole group is Chat plugins. Christmas came early for me!
 
I have been waiting and I thought this day would never come... I am so happy to have the bard plugin that I even logged in last night to play for most the night. Now I get to try out the bard in my raids today. Congrats on boosting the morale of the red guide masses :)
 
Of course; as soon as I decide to take a long break thanks to the DB banhammer they're swinging around like a drunken dwarf warrior, y'all release MQ2Bard! Tempted to roll a new team try a new, full CWTN team.

Any chance you could add Guardian Rhythms (level 17) and Elemental Rhythms (level 9) as well, as they stack with one another? <3
