Are there conditions set for using Boastful Bellow? At 63 my guy doesn't appear to be using it but I'm only burning through light blues, does it check level difference and only use on something closer in level? I did check the FAQ but didn't notice anything about it.

EDIT: Looks like it's related to endurance threshold. Ignore this! I was hovering around 20% END and it won't use at that level. My bad.

/brd AATimerOneEndMin ## - Min amount of mana before using Vainglorious / Boastful.

Honestly, we need to be able to turn this off except for named. Fights are fast enough that it rarely fulminates and just eats endurance uselessly, doing minimal damage. I don't have new expansion though, so maybe trash fight lengths are longer than 12-15 seconds now?

no sorry, don't plan on changing that
 
ToV level 115 - this song is in the TankSupport loadout; might want to change it up to something that doesn't give a tank a deagro on a TankSupport role. Just my 2 red cents

No plans on changing that.

If you rely on the beneficial hit point spells' aggro from your tank (not damage spells, not combat abilities, not dots, not heal procs, not anything else) you are fucked and might as well just lay down the whole everything and start a new life as a used barnacle salesman.

Suggesting changing it seems to indicate you don't know how it works, or why it exists.

Placating Accelerando
Slot 1: Reduce Timer by 2s
Slot 3: Limit Type: Beneficial
Slot 4: Limit Min Mana Cost: 10
Slot 5: Limit Min Level: 101
Slot 6: Limit Type: Exclude Combat Skills
Slot 7: Limit Effect: Current Hit Points
Slot 8: Limit Max Level: 115 (Lose 5% per Level)
Slot 9: Decrease Hate Generated by 28%

this is as is written:
- reduces timers of beneficial spells do current hps (heals), that costs at least 10 mana, excluding combat abilities by 2% and reduces the hate *those spells* generate by a -28% modifier

if there is something broken with that, it should be reported to dbg because that's a problem 100%.

it should not affect:
- taunts
- combat abilities
- threat increase abilities
- dots
- nukes
- combat abilities
- aas

for a warrior it shouldn't affect *anything*
paladin it should only affect their heal spells (and only reduce the aggro that individual spell is generating)
 
Hey guys, (sup Sic) i know i'm missing something easy but i had a quick question. When i run my bard he will sit out of combat and then get up right away to play songs, then repeat this behavior until combat again. Looks super botish, what setting am i missing here? I tried playing around with mana/hp settings but couldn't figure it out.

Forgot to add, this is happening when i'm also sitting down as a tank (driver) not when everyone is standing up.

you can turn off "active downtime" if you don't want to keep singing your songs during downtime.

but yeah, we're gonna sit when your ma sits (in chase or vorpal)

Q. I don't want it to do Lively, Aria, War March / War Chorus during downtime.
A. You can turn off "ActiveDowntime". The reason it exists is so you can you be "ready" for combat, rather than having to wait several seconds to get all your buffs to be active.
 
Question - with the autogrant feature - how do I get the plugin to recognize the new spells - seems like it does it when you mem something but with autogrant they just show up

dbg is having some bugs with that - you need to relog your toon
 
I have an odd behavior with my bards in raid.

When in raidmode, my bard isn't accepting /dg brd /brd uselowestinsults 1 nosave, or at least it's not showing an update in the UI check box. Once I remove the nosave, the command goes through, but at the same time it reload my plugin reverting me out of raid mode and all the other custom parameters.

Edit: Seems like it does it outside of raidmode as well, it just reload the plugin when I use the command with nosave.

testing on my bard now, looks like this doesnt' take nosave - will look at it, in the meantime just dont use nosave
 
possible bug found,

if i send a command to my bard to use his throne of heros clicky and he's activly playing songs, the throne clicky gets triggered, and then bard sings it's next song, cancelling the throne spell, and then the timer is down for throne... idk if eq bug or mq2bard but I've adjusted my hotkey to stop song first since poor bard is hemmoraging gate pots!

Nah

Should pause and stop song if you don't mq2bard to do bard stuff

Or if you use mq2relocate it will do a stoppsong

I just had this exact thing happen to me. it did not stop twisting on my bard and borked the Throne.

Also having issues with /brd commands. Thought I was just slow at first, but...

no, this appears to be an mq2relocate issue - i'll look at it

let me check

edit: yeah UseBladedSong was missing, UseIntimidate is also missing (but it isn't an option we added for bard - in fact it should be a removed option for all 4 classes that get it because we only use it if your rank is over rank 1, meaning no fearing mobs)

No worries! Thanks bossman.
 
Still doing this. Borked Throne, Primary Anchor, and Gate. I'll be waiting for repops.
this is actually not related to mq2bard, this is how mq2relocate works and unfortunately i haven't figured out how to get it to not bug eq out --- because right now eq has a bug with bards that you can bug out manually
 
Some feedback after testing.

lvl 76-80 testing.

lvl 79 Bard issues imo:

Bard should be singing Storm Blade proc song in all Loadouts except maybe Caster, maybe.
Bard should be playing Coldcrow AC line in all Loadouts except maybe Caster, maybe.

Currently Storm blade is only played during Melee Loadout.
Coldcrow is only played during Tank support.

Outside of raiding there is almost always a tank AND melee in a Bard group.
I think adding these both to both Loadouts makes sense in the majority of cases.
Or just drop one of these 2 Loadouts as there is otherwise overlap.

As far as i can tell I have all the settings set for him to do/not do these things, if not please advise.

we use suffering in melee/meleedots loadout.
we use sprysonata in melee/meleedots/tanksupport

this is intended and there are no plans on changing them.

Apologies, I'm not familiar with "suffering" and "sprysonata" , not sure we have those yet at lvl 70-80?

These refer to lines of songs/spells correct?
Could you elaborate so i understand, I'm not sure how to find this info so I know what songs/spells are what lines?

I oftentimes run 1 wiz in my group but 3-4 melee so caster songs are not really important to my needs

I'm not sure what the storm blade song line is called, or the coldcrow line, but those are very much in use lvl 70-80.

Just trying to understand better, thanks.
 
those are what we call the spell lines that have the spells in it that you mentioned. you can see by checking the spell&discs tab, or by seeing what it says when it starts up the plugin.

!cwtninfo

definitely make sure to check the sticky.
Thank you, I'll definitely look for those lines info.

And I swear I read all your great stickys/info/vids and didn't find answers to my questions mentioned there, but I may be blind/stupid at times heh.
I will reread/watch them.
