MQ2Bst

Plugin - MQ2Bst 3.1.52471.11

Not sure when it started but my bst doesn't summon his warder when it dies any longer. two times recently I've noticed the warder gone on grinds. I normally drive from my sk and do not see the bst screen that much so I'm not sure how long it had been gone. And just sitting there with nothing to do it will not summon a new one.

My bst is 120 and has the 118 pet spell rank 1. I just did a /pet leave and it poofed and my bst just sat there. I manually summoned the pet and he went through the pet buffs like normal. My sk(level 120) and shm(level 120) both summon their pets when they need to.

dunno. we definitely summon a pet if we don't have one.

are you sure you don't also have a familiar out flapping around?

you can auto leave familiars in your inventory -> key rings -> familiar "auto leave"

I don't have a familiar out and my familiar keyring is 0/0. I did hit the check box for auto leave just in case.

Here is me killing my pet and summoning one

If you're asking about "during combat" but you turned off "Combat Summon Pet" then of course, you won't summon it or reset your spells during combat.

but outside of combat, while not invis (unless a camp is set), and you don't already have a pet out (like a familiar) then we summon a pet

Not sure how it happened but byos was turned on. Not sure how I typed "/bst byos on" without knowing it but I must have. I'm using the old card. That's it. I'm old. Case closed.

Thanks Sic for putting up with my crazy lol.

Question, I have noticed that BST have 2 spells with the same name, Spiritual Vigor, at lvl 62 and 117. The plugin only seems to see the 62 version. I didn't see where this has been brought up yet, or if anyone has even noticed. I have attempted to manually cast the lvl 117, but on fade it will mem the lvl 62 again.

nah will be fixed next update, gg dbg for reusing spell names
 
Nice bug from DPG:
Can this be mitigated somehow in MQ2BST?
1640505258422.png
good ole DPG...

the spells you can scribe
1640505278170.png
as you can see "Spiritual Vigor" is both a 62 spell, and part of the 120 Chieftain's Unity

and from the buff window:

We don't cast the unity spells, we cast the individual versions of the spells because of previous tiers having issues with it not casting the spell it says it does. we actually specifically cast the individual ones because of reasons like this.

you should consider adding the lower level spell to your blocked buff list. We don't cast chieftan's so we're not the one putting it up.

>>> here is mq2bst faq if you need help with adding a spell to blocked buffs <<<


add: I really am bummed that they borked up this spell :( lol I even have a comment in our code about the stupid unity line having issues in previous tiers.
 
I have two issues I've noticed after using mq2shaman and bst for the last two days:
1. When pulling with pullability (malo for shaman and slow for bst) they constantly interrupt themselves with movement, as if they are not pausing long enough after stopping to begin casting. They end up having to cast each pull twice, which adds up for slower spells. I know pulling with spells isn't optimal to most, but its still something I thought you'd like to know isn't working as intended.
2. I have mq2bst running with a lv 21 BST and he never stops to cure poisons or diseases regardless of the "use cures" option ticked. Same issue in tank or assist mode. I know it works for mq2shaman because my shaman reliably stops to mem a cure and cast it on team mates and pets.

All in all these plugins are a treasure! Thank you so much for all the work you all do.

1. You can disable pull ability if you want to melee pull. /bst disablepullability on

2. Yes I don't think I ever put in non-aa curing.

Modes don't matter anything for curing or not.

Mq2shaman is not mq2bst, so saying one does xyz VS the other, well yeah different things.

Also, you've been using it for like 6 hours not past couple of days :p.

1. Could you make it not interrupt itself for people who use spells to pull?
2. Can you put spell cures for people under 51?

jus' sayin' :D

1. we actually don't. if the game says we're no longer casting we will move - this is behavior that is across the entire suite of plugins part of the "cwtn commons library", some spells and AAs exhibit things like that, especially paired with lag - which is why the default use stick for bst, for example, is different than other classes, because specifically sha's will think it is done casting, but eq needs a smidge more time than it looks like.

and again, emphatically, if you don't want to use the pull ability, you can disable it as i mentioned.

I didn't mention it because i wanted the practice typing :)

2. maybe.

you don't need to post about it twice. this isn't ping-pong :)


just sayin.
 
Anyway we can add in a toggle option that announces if slow was successful using dannet. I know I can do it other ways but I like the way the Mezz plugin announces mezzed targets etc...

sorry, no. we don't broadcast anything other than mezzing, and we don't plan to
 
My bstlord doesn't cast haste and it looks like the setting is corrupted when I output ShowSettings. Is there a trick to fix this?


1641148097890.png
 
From the looks of it you downloaded both Macroquest2 and MacroQuest "Next"

You will want to use Macroquest "Next" for sure.
I've just checked my showsettings and did not get the same error you did
1641150029327.png
Which leads me to believe this is an issue that was fixed on Next, and not on Legacy.

With all that said. We have notes related to the use of Velocity/Velocity Unity.
C++:
        // Velocity and Velocity Unity is a pet buff, but it triggers an autocast on our group that gives haste
        // this autocast needs to ONLY be checked on group members
        // we're not going to check our group members if we have mobs on xtarget

Your last single target haste is level 63 and we stop using it once your Velocity unity is spell is 109

I hope this answers your question.
 
it sure does, are you sure you understand what cwtn is saying?

once we get velocityunity at 109, we stop using the old single haste. instead we use the recourse from velocityunity trigger spell " which is "Exceptional Velocity"

Comrade's Unity

1641252928011.png
is it possible you're missing exceptional velocity, the lvl 93 pet->haste spell? I guess that could be required to trigger the trigger spell


Here i am by my lonesome, i clicked off my shm haste and i cast comrade's unity to get exceptional velocity II
1641252980720.png

Clicking off Exceptional Velocity i wll start to cast Comrade's Unity again to ensure i get the Exceptional Velocity Buff
1641253018886.png

If i turn off usehaste, i will not cast comrade's unity just to ensure i get the exceptional velocity buff

Have all the things, it does not cast it. I can do it manually for now, my group didn't have it for most of the expansion and I only now realized with the post above why the DPS was so low..
 
I'm now responding to you in 3 places at once :( and i'm still waiting for information from you in one of them.

I can't talk to you in 3 places at once.
 
Hello,

Migrated to MQNext as of this morning, BST is now casting Ally's Unity & Unsurpassed Velocity in a loop. I've referenced back several pages and can see it has been raised and suggestions provided;

  • I've unloaded & reloaded the plugin
  • I've 'killed' the pet and re-summoned
  • I've 're-installed'/updated the plugin
  • I have RK. I Exceptional Velocity
  • I have Astounding Velocity Rk. III
  • I have nothing in XTAR

weird, must be a stacking issue with the old ally and the new velocity line.

I'd suggest probably blocking the old ally's unity and sub spells until you get comrade's at 119 - you should be close as unsurpassed is lvl 118, and comrades is 119

yeah the astounding portion of ally's is saying "were missing this and don't have it, so cast it on me"

1641477408474.png

1641477415108.png

I'll see if i can find a workaround for the future. I'll probably just level gate like "only use velocity individual spell if it is higher than unity" and vice versa

in the meantime, once you get 119 and your new comrades, you'll be alright

I'm having trouble with Ally's Unity and Unsurpassed Velocity chain casting over each other. I have checked and unchecked the Usehaste box and tried even blocking both spells on pet and self to no avail. Can't do any with Bst as these just chain cast non stop. Any fix for this?

Lol. Same as above. Waiting on fix. My bad for double posting same problem
 
you can also turn on byos and you won't do buffs.

but yeah, if you block the subspells from allys you won't cast ally's

or just get 119 and get your missing spells
 
May have missed it, but is there a specific condition mentioned for bandoswaps?
Yes, did you check the faq?

Q. What is BandoSwap?
A. BandoSwap will check your bandolier sets for a 1h or h2h set (or combo of those), and check if you have a 2h set (it goes top to bottom in the list, no need to name it specifically).
When you are outside of "Vindication" / "DFury" you will keep using your 1h/h2h set, but during Vindication and DFury you will swap to 2h set for that sweet extra damage.


Make sure to > Check the getting started sticky <
 
Ah I knew I remembered seeing it - tried just running the search! So it doesn’t swap for 100-hands effects then, it looks like

If it did it any other time than what I shared, I would have said :)

During vindication and dfury

dfury as in Dissident/Composite Fury? If so I am guessing for the flurry chance increase?
 
I hit level 118 and got her new spells. Now all she does until I put her on Pause is cast Ally's Unity then sit down mem Unsurpassed Velocity cast it then sit down and mem Ally's Unity cast it then sit down again to mem Unsurpassed Velocity - rinse and repeat. Until I get her into combat she has to stay paused. Any idea what to do? I am not the only one in my guild having this issue and the same it started at level 118. Thank you.
 
hello lildiasse,

all the cwtn plugins have discussion threads to them, looking and posting in that thread would be the most appropriate location to do that.

this is addressed a couple of posts up in the mq2bst thread > here < (which this is now merged into)


basically, you need to get your missing spells and it will stop (it won't be an issue after next update, but until then either byos or lvl up and get your missing spells)

me said:
you can also turn on byos and you won't do buffs.

but yeah, if you block the subspells from allys you won't cast ally's

or just get 119 and get your missing spells

hope that helps
 
During Netherbian Swarmleader raid, I noticed Mq2Bst going full burns on trash. Even when I had "BurnAllNamed" and "BurnAlways" turned off. First time I've seen this happen. So, not sure if it has to do with the type of mobs/event or the plugin.

howdy eqsub,

sounds like you may have had a mob count that met or exceeded your burn count.

if you need to adjust your burncount you can do so by /bst burncount # > MQ2Bst Commands <

there isn't a mob or event that would cause us to burn when your settings aren't set to burn.

We specifically add mobs by name and zone for burning purposes. Coincidentally, we don't have any raid names put in yet that aren't the same as names from regular zones or missions. So unless the mob you're fighting happens to be one of the zone nameds, then =p
