Very minor and I'm still setting up my beastlord for this so this might just be something I don't know yet, but it doesn't seem to recognize Hiatus as being in the EndRegen group.

I'm a big fan of mq2zerk and very excited to get this up and running!

we intentionally don't use hiatus in any of the plugins.

Oh gotcha ok thanks. Why is that if you don't mind me asking?

Also I noticed during setup that Natural Cooperation shows up twice in the list (which tracks since they used the name at 96 and 106 and that got by their QC somehow), but that both entries show up as the 106 version. Again- incredibly minor and could be something I'm just not aware of, but thought you might want to know.

1. Hiatus gives you like negative infinity attack speed, the other version are just fine for getting regen back. a real person might use it upon taking a rez to get enough endurance to throw a defensive disc since it can now be used in combat - but for purposes of endurance regen in the cwtn stuff - we don't want you to not to be able to melee attack.

2. yup, mq2 is reporting what it finds in your book - I know they're named the same thing - the important part is it is checking in an order of spells, and those spells are in order correctly for our internal purposes. DBG has quite a few things that are stupid like this. We don't care about anything other than if you have the stuff you should be able to have
 
Please fix your detection of buff algorithm for "Shared Merciless Ferocity", If there are 2 bsts in raid in raid mode using the plugin or 2 bsts in a group using the plugin and 1 has Rk1 and 1 has Rk2 or 3 they chain overwrite each other and get stuck up in a loop. They also will start over writing each other mid combat.

we only buff local characters that are on mq2cwtnbuffs - are you running both of those beasts locally on the same computer running mq2cwtnbuffs? - because otherwise it is just casting it upon you when mq2 says you can have it cast upon you.

if that is the case let me know - should be an easy fix, but i need that information.
 
Yes all beasts casting it are on the same computer cwtnbuffs is loaded

ok thank you.

yeah mq2 reports that all ranks stack with one another - so will say you need it if you don't have that rank. so we'll just also check for the other ranks by name and then not try and overwrite - will be in next live update.

there isn't a nukemanamin for bst and there is no intention to have one. if you're fighting your're fighting. - there is the for dots because they're so mana intensive and might not get full use out of them depending on mob health and fight time, but we're not going to be in combat and not use our resources to do our fighting - if you don't want to be fighting, take a med break. otherwise you have a "mana min" that might as well be the new zero
Click to expand...

It would be a new zero for nukes, thats true. But it would leave me with Mana for heals, slows, buffs and whatever else might be expected of me sometimes. I work around the issue using BYOS and kick all the nukes from the gems, but then the buff routines dont work either.

I understand if you dont want to change it, afterall its your plugins and tweaked toward the independent group, but imo it is a valid request. /peace
 
Hi Sic.
I made a heroic beast the other day. He's now 110 and as far as I can tell since I made him he keeps swapping out spell gem 7, currently Elikatar's Endemic for a buff spell. Problem is he never pauses long enough to cast the buff. Just keep memming the DoT and Buff spell in an endless cycle. What am I doing wrong? Thanks

We only do combat summon stuff if your combat state is saying you're in combat, or you have xtargets.

so if you're chain stopping to buff something and then combat memorizing - it is because either A: we think you're in combat due to your combat state from your player window, or you have xtargets or B: you are not giving your toon any downtime to memorize a buff, cast it, before getting into combat again - since you have combat summon on, they will put their gems back to their combat state when they have mobs on xtaregt or otherwise think they're in combat

Here is out of combat needing to cast spiritual insight.
memorizes it, casts is upon whomever needs it, does regular memorization of endemic
1622688181737.png

if you do not want combat summon on

/bst combatsummonpet off


We also don't memorize or try and cast insight while you have xtargets.

I had this problem tonight also. 115 beastlord
Started off toggling between Bethun's Mending and Focus of Tobart. I paussed macro and casted manually and found I needed to block buff for this on my enchanter
next toggling between Bethun's Mending and Spirit of Tala'Tak. This time I unloaded MQ2BST and casted manually and reloaded.
The problem started again with Spiritual Vehemence. removing cleric from group (using MQ2CLERIC) fixed the problem and started again when adding the cleric back to group
Camping to desktop and reloading beast back to game cleared the problem.

Q. Why does my bst keep recasting Spiritual V line on my cleric?
A. I explain this in the mq2cleric video > HERE <. TL;DR - Spiritual V doesn't stack with yaulp, so when yaulp fades, if you don't have the spiritual V line blocked on your cleric, your bst will say "oh snap, my cleric needs spiritual V" and then when cleric uses yaulp, it will overwrite spiritual V - then when it fades we rinse and repeat.

Sounds like mq2bst is doing what it was asked to do.

Mine is doing the same thing and I have V blocked. I can't figure out what to do other than putting it on byos casting all the buffs then takign byos off...
 
if you can provide me a way to replicate it i'll take another-another look.

i just took my toon out and had zero unexpected behavior.

again - if you don't want combatsummon turned on, turn it off

it *only* does combatsummon stuff if it thinks you are in combat via combat state (from your player window) or you have mobs on your xtarget. so if you have a bad UI, you might have a problem there. if you have a bugged out xtarget window - you might have a problem there.

we only do regular buffs if you DONT have mobs on xtarget, however.
 
show me where it is memorizing - if it shows "combat memorizing" it means a: you have combatsummonpet turned on and b: either your combat state from eq/mq2 is reporting you are in combat, or you have mobs on xtarget.

and we don't do regular buff memorizing if you have mobs on xtarget.
 
I have a suspicion you have bad UIs, or at least, the combat state is reporting incorrectly (eq/mq2/UI issue). I'm going to just straight take that check out and check only for mobs on xtarget.

Embarassing question: how do I save the assist setting? I have to set it to vorpal every time I start.

Howdy @Ordell
All of the ui options are temporary adjustments. if you want to save a setting, you use the slash command.

There are a couple exceptions to that - if you log out with it paused, it will not be paused when you come back in game.

If you log out while being in a pulling mode - pullertank, pullerassist, or huntertank mode - you will log in as the respective non-pulling mode (tank for pullertank / huntertank, and assist for pullerassist) - this is so you don't start pulling the second you're in game.

MQ2Bst FAQ
Q. The UI Window Doesn't save my settings?
A. This is intentional. The UI acts as a "hot swap" allowing you to adjust on the fly. If you want to "save" your settings, adjust it with the slash command.

@adawlf you had some questions about mq2bst

1. starts memorizing and then unmems - Sounds like you might be using usecombatsummon. This will resummon and buff, and reset your spell gems while you're in combat, if you don't want those things to happen, you use /bst UseCombatSummon off.

you could also be starting to memorize a spell during downtime (no mobs on xtarget), and then have a mob on xtarget, and with usecombatsummon you're going to put your gems back as they should normally be, while in combat - so if you don't want this to happen, you use /bst UseCombatSummon off

Q. I'm memorizing spells in combat?A. This means you have CombatSummonPet turned on. If you have this turned on you will summon your pet in combat (which requires you to memorize a spell) - it also buffs your pet and returns your gems to the normal spell loadout. If you do not want this, turn off CombatSummonPet.

2. We utilize blood in the burn routine with vindication. If you don't want to do that, you can turn off all usage of burning - /bst burnallnamed off and /bst burncount 99, and ensure you don't have burnalways turned on /bst burnalways off.

Based on shared conversation it sounds like you just keep burnalways turned on - if you don't want to burn always (which i strongly don't recommend having on) then you should turn it off. Otherwise you're going to "always burn" since you turned alwaysburn on. I recommend using BurnAllNamed, and setting up a BurnCount number that makes sense for what you're doing.

3. There isn't going to be an option to turn off nuking, or to turn off using dots - if you don't want to do damaging abilities, mq2bst might not be the automation for you. There is a dotmanamin, and nukemanamin for normal usage,
During burns - if you have more than 30 mana, and the mob has the beastlord alliance, or you have vindication, we're going to spam use our blood ability (hopefully paired with a setup bandoswap for those 2 hander procs).

Unfortunately, there will not be a "DoNotUseBloodEver" option.

Using a level 60 BST in Pull Mode and they are just running up to whack the mob with melee. Did not see any "Pull" ability get set on the plugin initialization. When I load up 110 BST they use Sha's Reprisal:



Level 110 bst:
1624162013667.png

Is there any code to add a spell as pull ability at levels prior to getting those AAs?

(For reference here is the load for the level 60 bst)

No there isn't a way for you to add an ability. You can use a ranged pull item by equipping one and the appropriate ammo in your ranged / ammo.
 
Hi,

I have added 2 characters to my bst's Xtarget window for Xtarget Healing and it doesn't seem to be working. The bst is lvl 30 on a EMU server, his current highest heal is "Light Healing". I haven't been able to get him to heal at all yet. I have not tested with my Live Bst yet to see if he will heal. I just wanted to make sure I am expecting the correct behavior.

Thanks!

again about emu - I'm unsure as it's very difficult to support emu, which is why there isn't a license cost for the emu version. I'll ask cwtn to test next time he updates/test emu

you obviously need usextargethealing turned on and usemending turned on and your heal values adjusted (groupheal in this case since xtarget is not your MA), but as to your specific emu - I don't know, sorry.

Ah I didn't see UseMending. I will try that next time. On cleric I just set the XTarget and enabled it, I figured it was the same. That was live though.

Also I didn't realize they were free on EMU, I bought them all for live. Just messing around with it on EMU. I still have to use e3 to raid on it anyway.

Thanks!

yup, beastlord's ability to heal is a hard secondary to their main purpose, so you can turn on/off the usage of it in the plugins. clerics the opition to not heal is just unloading the plugin =p
 
We allow the plugins for free on EMU because I have no intention of supporting EMU. Every few months I'll make it a point to log into EMU and play around with it, but I don't go out of my way to make EMU specific fixes.
 
Hi guys, first off, thanks so much for the great plugins. My beast will sometimes just FD even when not in combat, and I have UseFeign turned off. I dont normally notice it until I go to run off with him in mode 2, and he doesnt follow. ;) I have to click him and stand him up before he follows.. Should I just turn on auto feign and autostand on feign? or is there something else that might be causing this behaviour?
thanks again

you have usefeign turned off and he's feigning?

are you sure you don't have checkforstuckgems turned on, and either having your gems stuck, or manually casting a spell which would force us to use the checkforstuckgems spell

/bst CheckForStuckGems true/false/on/off/0/1 - Sets if you want to try and "unstick" your spell gems - this will happen in every mode other than manual, and we use the Playing Possum AA.

if you want to "auto stand on feign"
/bst AutoStandOnFeign true/false/on/off/0/1 - Sets if you want the plugin to automatically stand if you are Feigning
/bst StandOnFeignAtHealth # - Sets what Health value you want to stand on feign if you are AutoStandOnFeign on

where stuck spell gem is discussed in the mq2bst video
