MQ2Bst

Plugin - MQ2Bst (1 Viewer) 3.1.52471.11

best i could get atm was golden sages ear ring and ice encrusted battle staff should i get better 2handed you think?
ice encrusted is 1713 efficiency vs velium threaded fighting staff of 1835 efficiency --- you should be able to get a velium threaded pretty easily (especially with bricks dropping like they are atm) if you have CoV.

if you don't have cov, then yeah ice encrusted

toss a velium threaded gem of devastation in there (untill you can convert it) and yum
 
one final question shoud l i go with same weapon on my zerker or faster?
your bst should always use mnk/bst only weapons - your zerker should not try and use mnk/bst only weapons =p
I personally use 36 delay weapons on my zerkers which for the last several expansions have been 2hb
 
I am not sure what happened and MQ2Bst works as it always has, but on RGlauncher it shows it needing an update, but when you click update it give the "Sorry...." prompt. Again it has not effected the plugin and this might not even be a MQ2Bst issue since it works as it always has. Any ideas?plugin.jpg

this is your launcher - try restarting your computer.
 
Hey guys been going through videos, wonder can I copy some of the kissassist settings into the class plugin ini? Looking to do chain pull or other things that I can set in the kissassist ini. If there is a video I missed that would explain what can be used or not for the class plugins pls link.

Class plugin inis are for the class plugins. Don't add in any other macros or plugins. it will not work.
Each macro or plugin uses their own ini files. Nothing else unless specified in the information on the forums for that resource.

Thank you both

no, unfortunately they are so not even remotely the same thing you might have better luck just yelling at the screen

nah, doesn't work like that. CWTN has it's own pulling functions and the settings are right there in the window.
 
Hey. Just a simple question, been trying to figure if this has been asked before but doesn't MQ2Bst use the epic (Spiritcaller Totem of the Feral)? I have to manually recast it whenever it goes out.

correct.

you can add it to addclicky offensive or burn if you want - but we specifically don't automatically use it

Alright cool. Will look into how to add it. Thank you for the swift reply.

it is in the faq btw (i had to double check because it wasn't before, and i meant to add it and thought i had - which i had lol)

Q. Do I need to add my 1.5/2.0 to addclicky?
A. Bst is one of the classes we don't automatically use your 1.5/2.0 - there are a bunch of debates as to whether or not it actually hinders a roll for your pet to proc a stun, and at "current game" the benefit of the 1.5/2.0 is pretty minimal as is, and isn't worth taking up a "roll for a stun proc". But if you did want to use it you would add it to addclicky offensive or burn.

Clickies:
For clickies, pick up the item you want to add and have the item on your cursor and do the following.
/bst AddClicky Downtime/Defensive/Offensive/Burn/Summon/ShrinkGroup [If it's summon, how many you want to keep on you]
/bst RemoveClicky Downtime/Defensive/Offensive/Burn/Summon


if you want it to be added to addclicky for burn - pick it up and /bst addclicky burn if you want it for offensive /bst addclicky offensive

That is totally my bad, I opened the FAQ but I searched for item name and epic.

Got it working on downtime. Didn't know it had become such a minimal increase, used to be quite the dps increase. Thank you very much for the info, will look at this a bit and perhaps undo it.

lol wanna hear something funny - when i went and looked to see if i had it, i did the SAME THING for "epic" and couldn't find it and was like "hrm i swear i added it" so then i edited it to have the epic part in there.
so you're not alone!

re its viability: I asked several "top tier end game bsts" and i got very very very mixed answers - some were like "i use it", some were like "never got it meh", and others were like "anyone who uses it is an idiot because it takes up the roll for a pet stun proc and you gain like single hundreds in dps and lose a stun". The third crowd was pretty adamant about it, but I wasn't able to test to see which was accurate, and forums and debates are kind of over the place too - so opted not to automagically use it, but since you can still add it, its handy for if/when its something you want in your kit
 
I can't get my beast loaded into the game anymore with VV and this plugin running. I started having to reload the toon everytime I zoned last night and today I can't get them to load at all. The other toons load just fine. This one and my shm just get stuck forever and get kicked back to the login screen if I am patient and wait 5 min or so. I also keep getting errors like:

crash1-2-2021 .jpg

I reinstalled, updated, all that jazz. No effect. Any ideas? Everything worked perfectly a couple days ago and I didn't install or do anything.
 
Now one of my zerkers is acting up :( So I am down a zerker, shm, and bst? WTF is going on? I knew there were server issues but this is weird.

well you can send me the dmp and i'll take a look at it - but says dannet crash there in your img.

we don't use any communication with dannet or eqbc in any of the cwtn plugins

I believe next VV build has dannuic's updates to address some of the dannet crashes

as i said - if you want to send me them dmp i can take a peak at it - but i suspect it isn't mq2bst related

Yup, appears to be all dannet related
1609613501948.png

btw - if you don't actively use mq2cpuload, mq2custombinds, mq2debuffs - i'd suggest unloading those (not saying its related, just recommend unloading them if you don't use them specifically)
 
I sent the lastest file in the folder. I don't even have a chance to load anything. I have the Launch EQBCS with MQ2 box checked and click the Launch MQ2 button like normal which starts EQBCS.exe so that followme can work. I am not doing anything with dannet that I know of nor do I even get a chance to try to do something with dannet. I did a /plugin mq2dannet unload on the toons I did manage to get in and will do the same at the character screen on the other toons.

I will unload all of that stuff as I don't and never have used any of it. Thank you for your help. As always you are a scholar and a saint :)

yeah like i mentioned in PM - i believe dannuic has some updates for dannet to address some crashes - so that'll get built next time red rebuilds VV (hopefully soon)

yeah crashes stink :( hopefully just unloading dannet until the updates are live fixes you up

Everyone is now loaded in which is farther than I could get last night. I don't remember doing anything with dannet except maybe during early ToV when peeps were trying to deal with restless ice? I was trying everything back then so I may have done something weird. Funny as it didn't cause me problems until over a year later. I have noticed issues with zoning and odd lag all CoV xpac. Do you think this could have been my problem with the missions in CoV? Most of my toons are T3 group CoV geared including augs, weapons, nonvis,.. and most are max AA and I still haven't beaten anything beyond the easy mode mission. I might have to try crusaders again later. I have noticed that the dragons look choppy and twitchy when I fight them. This could be my issue with heals as maybe my shm is experiencing lag and missing a lot? My pc isn't new but it was a beast when I built it a few years ago so I should be able to run 3 full groups no prob so I don't understand why I am suddenly having issues running 1.
 
Bard just did it now. She is using RGMercs. So far my plugin toons are working fine again. I think I will just drag her around for now as I don't need her to do anything in these old xpacs. I am just getting a few progression things done from years ago.
 
I sent another file. One of my zerks didn't finish zoning this time. I unloaded dannet and the other stuff on all toons. No idea what is going on now.
 
So i have bought Polymorph Wand: Runic Tattoo Nihil - Male from the crown store on my monks and bst.. but it will not cast this item when i have it set up in there downtime clicky. Even after i remove other buffs but seems to work with other illusion items. any feed back would be welcome thank you.

this is likely because you have another like your mount buff which has more ac than your nihil gives, so its not going to try and cast since this spits out 2 buffs.

you could always put the order of addclicky so that it does the nihil first and then the mount second - but you also won't be able to cast your mount buff afterwards because you can't summon a mount while in nihil form anyhow.

1609658487177.png

it might be something we can look at down the line - but so far, especially with illusion clickies, they are pretty inconsistent about which buff is the "first one" and which is the "triggered one". and some don't even give the buff like they say they do

if the benefit was the first one and not the triggered one, you wouldn't be able to cast it and get the illusion - so if this isn't consistent (or a way to determine anyhow) then you will have some issues in the other direction (trying to use it but can't)

RGMercs uses dannet. Sounds like Dannet is being loaded by RGMercs perhaps. Which is causing it to be loaded on your non-dannet toons. It's also reasonable to think that it's actually nessesary for other characters to run dannet for RGMercs toons to read information such as buffs and such. My recommendation for any dannet specific crashes would be to post about it on the dannet thread. While me and sic can look at them, we can't confirm if they are known issues. There is a patch coming to the plugin mq2dannet as mentioned by sic, but this may or may not be related to that. So it'd be good to get ahold of those developers to see if the issue is consistent with their currently known issue.

That is definitely interesting, I received similar responses from raiding bst friend and another who haven't been on a long break hehe. Cheers again!
 
MQ2Bst is my most recent CWTN plugin. Right now it is only using spell gems 1 through 8. 9 through 13 are empty. I am 115 with autogrant on and bought the 13th gem slot AA. I tried updating the plugin plus unloading and loading, still not using 9 through 13. Any thoughts?
