MQ2BerZerker

Plugin - MQ2BerZerker (2 Viewers) 3.1.52471.11

Hello, Thank you for your great work.
There is a problem that my zerker won't fight again during the combat after res.
Do I miss something or it's just a bug?

This is a known issue. The MA must retarget the mob they're fighting to populate a characters Assist target after death. On the MA simply clear your target and target the mob again. On my characters I use one of my other plugins and I just hit escape and let the tank mode retarget and they hop into action.
 
with the AddClicky command, is there a way to change the buff that it checks for when recasting? Similar to the KA |Dual tag. I have the Emperor Ganak familiar as my stat familiar, but I want the zerk to use a different familiar from the keyring.
 
Small thing to note,

Ive had no issues with other zerkers, but i do have a prob with a new on ive made. She hasnt been though smoke yet so shes not got the first upgrade to Dissident Rage.. So its base rank. and i cant get it to fire. it looks like it says i am missing the spell because i dont have a higher rank from the progressive ability. Running 3 zerkers atm, 1 with base rank (wont fire, one with rank 2 works, and one with max works.

that's because you don't actually have it.

Q. Why does it not use Dissident?
A. EQ Has an issue where it doesn't give you your rank 1, even if you have Dissident Rage - If you have Tier 1 of Dissident ensure you actually have the "Dissident Rage 1" in your spell book - if you do not, go to Virtuous Dusk in Stratos and say "reminder" to "update" your rank 1 ability

can't you utilize the familiar keyring for this?

I believe the issue is they use Addclicky to add the one they want to cast, however the stats familiar usage is causing the buff they get from using the familiar to give them a different buff than the one that is on the item. So the plugin is expecting either a different buff than the one that gets casts due to the familiar keyring setting giving them a different buff.

At this time there is no option to handle that. If you want the stats from the Emperor Ganak familair, you will have to add clicky the emperer ganak familiar.

I've brought this issue up to DBG on numerous occasions. They don't seem inclined to fix it at the moment. Not sure why they don't want / can't fix the issue with this particular ability. Can only provide built in work arounds for the issue. There should be a message when you first load the plugin that informs you of this issue and how to correct it.

In addition to the issue mentioned by Sic, other reasons it would select a different ability is if you have a higher tank of Dicho than Dissident by 3. In which case Dicho is better than Dissident. Doesn't seem to be your issue in this case, but more to let others know that might read the thread.

at least it solved my problem with this way out. thank you, the plugin is great.

Can confirm i have it via disc window and that i can activate it manually.
 
Hi guys,

First of all, brilliant plugin, i can comfortably say that it has increased the DPS my zerkers do dramatically!

One suggestion i have for the missing abilities section is for where there can be rank 2 versions obtained, it would be great to list the abilities missing which dont have them.

So has rank 1, dont have rank 2 or dont have ability at all.

The abilities the plugin uses which would benefit from rank 2 variants would surely contribute quite a bit to dps also?

A possible solution would be to have checkboxes for the max rank of abilities you have access to, 1 for silver, 2 for gold and 3 for gold raider?

What do you think?

Cheers

yeah we've talked about outputting if you're missing ranks of a spell, but we just really care about having the abilities that the plugin needs - and its up to the user to ensure they have the upgraded ranks - you can outputfile missingspells with the eqcommand to see what ranks of spells you have. We also output all your spells that the plugin uses when it loads - which you can unload and reload the plugin if you need to recheck it. this shows your ranks.

INI:
/outputfile

guild | raid | spellbook | inventory | guildbank | realestate | guildhall | missingspells [optional filename]

Allows the player to export data relative to the first parameter into a text file.
The file is saved at the root of the EQ directory under the name [PlayerName]-[Parameter].txt, or under the name specified as a second optional parameter.


if you are all-access, you have access to rank2 and rank 3 - and we have the option if you have purchased the marketplace spell unlocker.

I believe eqmule recently put in a way to access what ranks of spells you have without us having to get you to input if you purchased the rank unlocker.
 
Lately I've been having a huge issue with my epic click locking up on my hotbar, and the plugin just spams trying to click it when it cannot, and ignores all other abilities that are up. Is there a way to add in try to cast something X amount of times, and if its not successful to move on to other abilities, and then come back to it?
 
Hello, purchased the MQ2 berzerker and am running 2 zerkers in my group, noticed something odd one zerker is using open wound and the other isnt just wondering what is going on

when you loadup the plugin what does it say for health limiter?


1590447863036.png

you should hit blood fury aa to start to get your health low, then it'll check if you have a limiter running - open wounds or ritual scarification and use those
 
started having a problem yesterday where my Zerker will not follow the group after a kill. I’ll run off, and look over, and he’s stuck. I see the line to my MA, but he can’t move. I’ve tried stopping nav, going into manual. mode, unloading the plugin but nothing seems to work.

Anyone else notice this happening?

that is likely because he has frenzied resolve up at that time.
zerkers have a few tradeoffs for being faceroll dps: health limit requirement, root in place, being blind, etc

Code:
from the FAQ
Q. Sometimes my berzerker won't chase the MA.
A. Probably have Frenzied Resolve Discipline as their currently active disc, which roots you in place. Sometimes this can be annoying. You can /zerk UseFrenzied off, to turn off that ability. But be aware that significantly reduces your overall average DPS.

My daughter asked me while watching over my shoulder why the bearded guy wasn't moving. I said he was rooted and can't until it wears off. She said Oh I thought he was pooping. So from now on I say Frenzied Resolve is the pooping disc

Damn. I thought I had read almost everything on the forums. Thanks man, that was it!
 
So I've gone to 3 berzerkers and I now notice something I haven't in the past with two Zerkers and a BST. I now have 1 or 2 zerkers not being close enough to hit during a fight or twitching repeatedly as if they are trying to get somewhere they can't. It sometimes looks like they are getting caught up with each other or even pets. I have the do not use stick setting off, un checked.

Use /stopdisc command to get the zerk to immediately drop disc and follow the group.

one of the reasons why i block the juggernaut form buff (its just the illusion) because they end up too big and stupid

It happens even outside of Juggernaut. Since I'm rolling with a Shaman, I found that shrinking everyone helps if not eliminates the problem.

But am I correct in thinking that the following line can control where the Berzerker ends up?

StickHow=snaproll right 10 moveback uw

So I have one right/left/rear. That didn't help full sized. So just going to move all to rear and shrink.

well if you want to stick differently that is how you'd do it for sure. I keep my guys shrunk so i don't run into collision issues, but i can see how that happen

Anything on this? Still having major issues.
 
After the update, putting my zerker into assist mode she just sit's there. no errors everything seems to be working, but i have to manually unsit her an hit q for her to engage enemy. Altho, putting her in chase mode fixes the engaging part, just the assist seems to be broken.

sounds like your MA isn't set to MT/MA? or you clicked and turned on raidmode on accident?

Raid mode not set, tank is ma/mt/ mat. Hmm, so after i put her in chase mode. then back to assist, is now working. might have been a slight code hang ? happens it's working again.
After update yesterday, now my zerker will only engage mobs when in chase mode, assisting jus leaves em sitting on the ground. switching mode does nothing not in raid mode. ma is set mt mat, i was able toget it working yesterday by doing chase mode, for a few pulls then doing assist, doesnt work now.

Really enjoying this plug in already out of the box. Zerk dps is improved over my ini for sure. Love all the options it has!

don't know if this is intentional or not but I noticed when I have zerk set to pullerassist, he will pause for 5-10 seconds before running after the mob to pull. It happens randomly. Most times he will go and pull as soon as the mob is dead.

I do have the group watch set to healer and healer has not entered the range to pause the pull for meditation/hp/endurance
 
Sounds like you're being rooted in place by frenzied resolve.

Frenzied Resolve is an amazing boost to your DPS, but it also roots you in place for the duration it's applied. You can toggle it off if you intend to pull with the berserker with the "UseFrenzied" option.
 
Is there a command to save the window position for the plugin? Seems to reset every time I login
move the window to where you want it to stay. then close the window with the little x in the top right, then /zerk show to bring the window back up - it is now saved
 
Is there a setting in the CWTN plugins that will enable a dps broadcast similar to what happens in KA when EQBCon=1 ?
 
Nah, it just does zerker stuff.

You will want to look at mq2dpsadv if you want to see dps ((or something like gamparae)
