Plugin - MQ2Bst 3.1.52471.11

[notaplayer]

sorry it took so long to get back. I have unlogged everyone, restarted computer, reinstalled all of my plugins and macros. Unfortunately it is still spamming Horasugs, and now Ally's Unity. I don't know why it is casting Rk 2, but only rank 1 is sticking. With ally's unity, one of the two spells is rank 2 and one isn't. That rank 2 spell is sticking as a rank 2. Ally's unity may be messing up because of one being rank 2 and the other not, idk

So I will start with love your work, I now use all but MQ2Rog. But anyway, My question is about MQ2Bst and I'm just wondering if it might be possible to alternate his skills depending on debuffs marked on target or something. I've noticed that my Beastlord uses eagle strike by default and eagle strike proc's Bite of the Asp. Once it has proc'd it's dot onto the mob could you have it switch and use tiger claw which proc's raven's claw. The pictures is just the Auto granted 115 debuffs and i think it would make a slight difference with decreased attack power and added dmg to second tiger claw as the bite of asp runs in course.

Appreciate the thoughts and considerations, but no - using eagle strike is going to give us aggro reduction on every hit - which is why we go with that

also have you parsed the difference? imo and experience it wasn't worth the swap, and i got much more value from the aggro reduction - so we're gonna stick with it

well this doesn't make much sense to me.

let's take Horasag's again - We check that we have the spell, then we check if your pet has the buff from that spell that we have (We use the actual spell data and not just a name), if it doesn't have the buff from the spell, and it stacks - we cast it on them. I can't think of a way, in this example, that you could be casting rank 2 if you don't have rank 2, and/or rank 2 applying rank 1

I actually had a bstlord with only rank 1 - so i just went and got rank 2, and claimed it, and it memorized rank 2, casted it, and it overwrite the 1 with rk. II. Really sounds like something is borked up with your pet - I'd suggest making a new pet, other than that i don't really have any idea what's happening if you're casting rank 2s and only applying rank 1s --- that sounds like an eq issue




As far as the velocityunity goes - we cast than, then we check your individual velocity and petspirit in case they are better than your unity. so no, that's not messing anything up.

mod note: i replaced your img because it had your character name in it.

I understand the difference - as stated i just took a toon that had rank 1 and bought rank to to cast and overwrite it.

did you try dismissing your pet and get a new one?

do you have your pet blocking the rank 2? we might not be checking pet blocked buffs for individual pet casting abilities

 

[notaplayer]

Pet must be messed up. Resummoned one, same issue. Tried without my EM earring (just to try), same issue.

did you check your pet blocked buffs to see if you accidentally blocked rank 2 somehow? (you can't block ranks anymore i guess, but check that you don't have rank 1 blocked)

because casting rank 2, should put rank 2 on your pet, i have no clue why that would be like that lol

 

[notaplayer]

that picture was cropped, it showed my pet window and my highlighting his buffs. I posted it to show that I wasn't completely batsh*t

nah no one thinks you're batshit (and i put the note in there that i edited the img since it was massive and had your toon name in it)
check the blocked buffs and let me know.

 

[notaplayer]

nothing blocked at all on myself or my pet

 

[Sic]

ok

Do you actually have rank 2?

Are you currently gold?

if you are Silver - do you haveRkIIPurchase checked - if so uncheck that.

 

[notaplayer]

I'm silver, i do not have rk2purchased. I think i see the problems here. It is letting me mem the Rank2 spells, but only casts the rank1 spell, so the checks are probably seeing 2 different spells. However, ally's unity WILL cast the rank 2 spells that you have mem'ed, if you have them. So it's casting 1 rank 1 spell and one rank 2 spell, which is also somehow messing up the checks i'm assuming because of the silver/no RK2 purchase.

 

[notaplayer]

i had seen astounding velocity rk. II on my pet and assumed that it was allowing me to mem and cast the rank 2 spells that I had added while gold. Apparently that is not the case

 

[Sic]

as silver you can always memorize the rank 2 spell, but it only casts it at rank 1 ability level - if you have the rank2 spell thing checked it will be looking for rank 2 - so uncheck that if you have it checked.

 

[ChatWithThisName]

Need to confirm, is the box checked? RkIIPurchase green or red?

 

[notaplayer]

unchecked - spams ally's unity
checked - spams Horasugs

 

[ChatWithThisName]

What buffs from Ally's Unity does your pet have when it's spamming the buff. Please be rank specific

 

[Sic]

unchecked - spams ally's unity
checked - spams Horasugs

ok so the original issue was you had it checked and it shouldn't have been - but unchecking it is giving the additional problem - We will look into this fix and try and have something updated for next patch (pretty tough to try and check)

Can you say which rank of Velocity you have and which rank you have of Spirit of _ you have

 

[notaplayer]

Astounding Velocity Rk. II
Spirit of Mandrikai Rk. I

 

[notaplayer]

Yep, original issue was because of me checking the box. I've been doing it on all of my toons that I have Krono'ed and AAed/mem'ed spells and are now silver hoping for more DPS. I'm lucky that I haven't run into more issues.

thanks for other reply

yeah the rankII checkbox is ONLY if you purchased the marketplace unlocker - so unclicking that is gonna be good

chat gonna pm you a file and see if we can get you sorted out

Check your PM's here on forums

We got together and fixed the problem.

Thank you guys, as always, for not just your hard work creating these things, but the continued support of keeping them running optimally. Very much appreciated.

Hey, I want to mention that my beast was spamming focus on my casters/cleric, as well. I have the latest build and am running the beast in assist mode. Thanks.

hrm

can you tell me

which focus spell including rank:
are you getting any "would not take hold" red eq error messages like stacking issues:
if so, which one:

if not, can you confirm its just casting it over itself with no red error stacking messages and the rank version matches your spell being cast?

there is also a toggle for UseFocus if you want to turn it off until we figure out why

(reason i asked for that stuff, is there appears to be a few stacking issues with a few spells still like celerity/haste and low lvl focus (like on a tlp) where the mq2 stack checking (which as i understand is the same as the eq checking) says it DOES stack when it doesnt)

for example: /echo ${Spell[Celerity].StacksWith[Exceptional Velocity]}
if you do that with a beast it will say true - if you say that with any other toon it will say false

 

[Redfrog]

Sic,
I believe that's how it worked before, but that's no longer the case. A Silver player cannot mem the rank 2 anymore, unless you have the unlocker. Just an fyi.

 

[ChatWithThisName]

You can memorize the spell since you don't retain the unranked version when you get a rank two. But when you cast it, it casts the rank one version.

well this issue ended up being that the velocity unity line will cast a rank 2 spell, if you have it, even if you are silver - so we had to code a solution around dbg's stupidity

re: the having rk. II on your spellbar as a silver - you absolutely can - i even just logged on a silver dude to confirm - it just casts at lvl 1

in this case the velocity unity spell was actually casting a rank 2 spell

Not sure I'm going to be able to help anymore. I updated MQ2 and I guess this went from free (while the community helped debug it) to paid.

ah, you said you had latest.

not asking for anyone to debug it - i was trying to help you.

 

[ChatWithThisName]

Sure the community helped debug it. While I was nice enough to make it free for their use. Don't get it twisted, all of my plugins are going to be paid. A lot of people ask to use them early, and I allow it while it's being worked on. I suppose I could do like all the steam alpha's and charge people to be part of the early alpha where everything is broken. I wasn't even going to let it be used early until I was asked if I could make it available.

if it was up to me, nothing would be available in pre-release form. it creates me literal hundreds of hours of helpin folks on top of what i already do

Sorry, I posted that I had latest before I noticed there was an update on the RG launcher. I updated, like I'm apt to do, without realizing it was going to yank availability to the plugin. I had just started using it, so... shrug no worries. You all do whatever you all think is right... I got no dog in the fight.

 

[ycleptjah]

Getting a message to recompile the plugin - it is out of date with mq2main. Is this a Me issue or a plugin issue?

 

[ChatWithThisName]

when the plugin went to a paid resource the launcher failed to remove the plugin from the previous patch. In order to stop the error you'll either need to

A.) Purchase the plugin and then update it through the plugins list on the launcher if you want to keep it.
B.) Go to your macroquest2 folder and find MQ2Bst.dll and delete the file so that the error no longer occurs.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

 

[ycleptjah]

Thank you! Purchased it, didn't realize it had been officially launched.

I'm running into the same problem I've had for awhile now; my lvl 110 bst won't cast Paragon or Focused Paragon. My 115 bst has no problem. Same group setup, same settings, same everything. Any ideas?

outside of checking your paragon at settings, checking you have kissbuffs loaded on other toons you expect it to be cast on etc - all the normal stuff.
the function is exactly the same - so unless there is a stacking reason they can't be used, they should be functioning as you would expect

Paragon turned on, kissbuffs loaded on everyone. Doesn't attempt to cast it at all.
