Anyway to turn off eruption of claws off? I dont have AOEs on, AOEcount is set to 300 and its breaking mezes and agroing pets.
we don't use Eruption of claws unless useaoe is on. we never have and never will.

which is why we use "FClaws" Focused Clamor of Claws lvl 98

this was one of my biggest annoyances with how mq2melee works.

so no, we're not using eruption with useaoe off and aoecount set to 300

we just dont

We check for Claws usage first
and it goes "is useaoe on, and are our xtargets greater than or equal to our aoe count, and claws is ready, use it"
or Fclaws goes "is fclaws ready? use it"

you will still use regular FClaws if useaoe is on and you don't meet your aoe count, but we never have and never will use the aoe claws if useaoe isn't on and your xtarget count isn't met

FClaws is Focused Clamor of claws.

it is the FCLAWS that i mentioned.

it is the SINGLE TARGET claws

which is why it is lvl 98

it does not break mez

it is not, in fact using eruption of claws as you said it did.

they share a timer.
 
Quick Question Sic. My wife wanted to know why Does CWTN Bst run the Natural Cooperation which is a 106 spell, instead of the 116 Version Symbiotic Alliance? She said its the higher level version that does the same thing.

Thanks for your time!

Was uncommented from "beta" spells to our #RealBuild on December 1, 2021
So it has been there since then

Here is me clicking off the buff
1680954966815.png
and it casting Feralist's Unity afterwards

1680954727935.png
We output that you need it for purposes of ensuring you have the correct spells for your Feralist's Unity AA line - we actually don't cast that spell outside of the AA. (Might be worth adding spell usage outside of the AA due to getting the 1st version at 91, and the AA doesn't start till 95, but that isn't currently how it works.)

so it sounds like your partner is missing AA's and their version of Feralist's Unity is rank 4

Hey all, quick question as to why beastlord keeps spamming comrades unity. Trying to figure out as to what could be blocking it for mq2bst. Won't attack either unless I put byos on and forget the spell in spell slot.

Thanks in advance

Please make sure to post in the correct place.

I have a suspicion this is due to having combat summoning turned on, and there is something failing in the stacking check.

Try turning off combatsummonpet for now and I'll take a look at it.

Combatsummon pet turned off, still spams comrades unity. Removed all pet buffs but for some reason it doesn't take hold. Turned BYOS on and remove spell with another seems to be only way for it to stop spamming pet buff. I'll let you know if I figure anything else out. Thank you Sic

making sure to read the sticky/faq on how to ask for help and what information to give, and what to do if you have a buff issue is key here, gotta help me help you.

you'll likely have a red eq error message as to why a buff doesn't take hold.

if you don't, then it is possible your pet is out of range, but i don't know either of those things because you didn't tell me if you're getting red error messages or give other details that might help.

the velocity unity line have historically been a problem, which is why in the past i used the single spells for pet buffing purposes.
 
please see the FAQ - there are things in eq/mq that can get in a buff contest and you either need to stop casting one of them via options, or turn them off. I personally run a bst/shm combo in several groups, and the i've found the only time there are buffing conflicts is when there is a tier gap between them

Jumped on Test to try out the plugins, and immediately had what appears to be a common theme when running a Beastlord with a Shaman. Specifically, the Shaman will regularly out buff the Beastlord, resulting in the Beastlord endlessly attempting to buff everyone.

Everyone is level 25, fresh made with /testbuff.
I have done nothing, but let the plugins do their thing.

There doesn't seem to be an option in the Beastlord settings, to stop attempting to auto buff the basic stat buffs like 'of the bear', etc...
1682771637473.png

So, as far as I understand it, the only solution that is available to prevent this automatic stat buff conflict, is to regularly make every applicable target in the party block the beastloards conflicting buffs... Which means this is going to be an issue every time a Bst/Shm team up, throughout their entire leveling curve.

Am I missing another less tedious solution? (Besides simply not running them together)

Thanks!

howdy.

Please check the sticky that says "check here first" it shows you how to check the FAQ and commands tab and such.

check the FAQ to see how to block whatever buffs you wouldn't want. you can also just go in byos if you don't want one of them to do any buffs in particular. If there was another option for those things, it would be there and in the commands tab, but the correct course of action is to block any buffs you don't want, or go byos (not byos custom) on any toon you don't want to do buffs.

some low lvl eq stuff has stacking issues - I keep bsts and shamans in many of my groups - and in my primary group, later on you don't have to block any weird conflicty spells, but early game you have to make choices.

I quoted you, from over 6 months ago, to try to save you the trouble of repeating yourself, as I already read all you re-posted (and even mentioned blocking them) hoping something had changed that hadn't been mentioned in this thread. As it seems to happen occasionally.

But I appreciate you answering, none the less.

I don't blame you if you didn't actually read my whole post. I'd be tired of re-addressing the same subject over and over again too. I guess I just expected something like this couldn't be that hard to build in. Especially since ease of use, and "It just works" is the whole selling point of these plugins.

So the short answer is, no... Roger that.

Thanks for all you guys do here. It's really amazingly well done.

I did read what you said more than once. I also read your revisions from the previous post. If I said something that landed wrong or upset you, sorry about that.

I was trying to figure out why you posted a picture to show that options that don't exist weren't there. I was trying to figure out why you asked the questions in the way you did had you read the FAQ and understood what was there.

You may have quoted me, but you didn't say you read and understood it. Your question sounded like the opposite.

Mq/eq has some stacking issues with lower levels. "Couldn't be that hard to build im..." Again does t really sound like you gave it a read and comprehended because it specifically mentions that exact circumstance.

I dont really do short answers. People read too much emotions that doesn't exist when brevity hits, I also like to give information when it is possible (and hopefully not falling on deaf ears)

But if just a short answer is how you prefer it. I'll try and remember that next time.

"No, check the FAQ that explains it" if you want the short answer.

Anyhow, have a good weekend and happy hunting

Fair enough. I realize that I could have added more specifics to the question myself, and assumed less... I don't envy your position here. It has to be hell constantly dealing with people like... us ignorant... potential customers.

My experience with the plugins are extremely positive. I appreciate the ability to test them out and have clearly seen the value of a plug and play set of scripts, especially since I seem to have an obsession with leveling as many different 6 man's as I can cram into my existing accounts...

I will most definitely be purchasing use of the Shaman, Enchanter, and Shadowknight plugins, forthwith. More soon, if my budget permits.
(Edit: Just purchased the Shaman.)

I am eagerly looking forward to seeing what the Bard version is capable of. ;)

First off I would like to say I love these plugins and you guys have done great work here, keep it up. I have noticed one little problem with MQ2Bst and it may exist in the others, but I have not seen it yet. My beastlord is level 45 and a lot of the times he we out of mana. More often than not it seems like. My problem is he will try to rebuff the group while he is out of mana. Won't sit to med or anything. Will cast 1 buff be back to 0% mana and then stand there still he has enough mana to continue casting the next buff on a group member. I may have missed it, but is there a way to say "hey sit down and med some before continuing to buff"?

hi weirdguy, glad you're liking the plugins!

we sit in assist mode while we're waiting for stuff to do. if you're in vorpal or chase we only sit if our MA is sitting.

Please make sure to post mq2bst questions in the mq2bst thread, you don't need your very own thread to ask an mq2bst question
 
but regarding "needed that stuff cause fd is turned off" - stuck gems was a big problem for a while which dbg has supposedly fixed, tho they said that repeatedly before and it came back. some automation uses origin to check for stuck spell gems - but we opted not to go that route since your toon accidentally porting out isn't great, so each class uses a "lesser of risks" ability --- not all AAs would break the stuck gems, so options are limited.

I noticed my bst is constantly trying to cast Origin. Should it be doing that or no?

Nah, mq[BGCOLOR=initial]2bst and the cwtn class plugins do not cast origin.[/BGCOLOR]

Kissassist and rgmercs do, the cwtn plugins do not.

Figured it out. Yeah it was my fault.

But I have a new problem. I have a 115 bst in a group of 120s and he constantly casts Spirit of Tala`tak and Spiritual Vehemence even though they are blocked by higher level spells. Suggestions?
 
So just a few minutes ago my Beastlord kinda went funky. Been set as Puller/Assist for several hours and has been working beautifully. Then she went funky, and now is spamming Spiritual Vibrancy when not in combat, and she stopped pulling. Will correctly assist when on assist mode, but will spam the buff whilst waiting for a mob to come into camp. BST window log was just showing casting the buff on my cleric pre reboot then necro post reboot (spamming).

Things done so far:

Fully camped all toons and rebooted computer.
Verified all plugins up to date via RG Launcher
It's not a blocked buff on any toon
No options were changed from when it was working to when it went funky.

is also recasting spiritual empowerment every 5 minutes or so

Did someone run by and ninja buff you with a higher lvl buff?

you should block the SV line on your cleric anyway because it blocks yaulp

from both the mq2bst and mq2cleric FAQ

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.
 
Hello, just purchased the plugin a few mins ago.

I just noticed that, while my group are resting, my beast keeps on spam casting SOW on my cleric.

I dunno if this has been experienced or answered in the past, so please kindly point me to the right direction =)

thanks!

howdy, make sure to check out the sticky that give some steps to determine how to correct it.

you likely have SoE or some other buff that MQ/EQ says stacks, but doesn't.

so you'll either want to turn off usesow on your bst, or determine the conflicting buff and handle that (mentioned in the FAQ)

Hey, loving all the plugins. Just bought them all this morning. My highest characters are 53 at the moment so have a ways to go. That said, I am having a challenge with my Beastlord spamming Bond of the Wild (pet buff) whenever the UseHaste is turned on in the settings. I have done everything I can think of and the only answer appears to be turning UseHaste off. Note: no red text or anything when spell completes cast. Just repeats until out of mana. Also, pet is standing next to me.

Ok thank you.

Turn off usehaste ATM, you can also block the auto cast portion of the spell in pet buffs.

Surprised there isnt a red eq message, but I'll look into it

edit:

checking bond of the wild usage - it is because bond of the wild does not give a haste benefit like the other velocity spells do until lvl 78 at Peerless Penchant --- BUT bond of the wild does have a recourse effect, which overwrites targ, and then they just overwrite each other over and over.

I'll fix, thanks for enough info to see what/why, I appreciate it <3
 
Noticed this tonight, first time in a while only had the bst in a group to cast haste. When I clicked usehaste on, kept overwriting themselves with celerity/unrivaled rapidity. Target is same toon for each cast. Level 85 BST on Riz.
