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

Ah, ok. That's probably it then. That raid spawns waves of adds. So, that makes sense.
 
Greetings,
My Bst wont stop casting Allv unity and unsurpassed velocity on the bst plugin, this is the first time i have had this happen, all updates done.
Any suggestions?
Have camped her out as well, she comes back and just casts away!
thanks

hello goldorak,

it does not appear you are updated.

this has been fixed and should have been out in the new build.

i would double check that you, in fact, are updated.

and please make sure to post mq2bst questions into the mq2bst thread.


also > here < is where it was discussed previously
 
hopefully by later this week we will start having update notes properly again, so you can see when/where updates go into the builds, this hasn't been the case because of the transitional stuff with mq vs mq2
 
Sic updated MQ2Bst with a new update entry:

Jan-17-2022

Some of these already were active, now that RG is building directly, we should be able to keep update notes updated.

MQ2Bst -
- (lower lvl) Handle duplicate spell name for Growl of the Leopard.
- Fixed a typo in tooltip for UseParagon, where it used to say Use Paragon of Spirits, it now says Use Paragon of Spirit.
- Handle duplicate spell name for Spiritual Vigor. Thx dbg.
- VelocityUnity Trigger adjustment.

Not sure why it took me two months to notice this, but the Beastlord is currently memming both Ancient: Frozen Chaos and Ancient: Savage Ice at level 70. They share a CD and the lower level spell, Frozen Chaos, is being given priority so the level 70 ancient is never cast.

yup, derp, frozen chaos was in lance group and frozen group.

thanks for letting me know
 
I've been using mq2bst in chase mode recently. I have assist set a 99 and when the bst assists it does a couple things in melee ranges, then runs away to chain cast spells. The bst will sometimes ping pong back and forth until the mob is dead, then it "chases" again. When in dungeons bst runs into walls trying to seemingly get in "caster" range. Kind of annoying. In open world, bst will aggro pathers. Not a big issue since I have CC. Still annoying though.

Bst is fine in assist mode.

Any ideas?

doesn't really sound like it but you might have combatsummonpet turned on (which will do pet summoning, buffing, and placing your gems back in order) - if you don't want this, you can turn it off. /bst combatsummonpet off


you say chase mode and ping ponging - which either means a: you are follow me stuck on, or b: you are using some conflicting macro/alternative method of automation.

you should ensure you don't have follow me stuck on, and definitely don't want to run conflicting automations.

we don't do anything to "get in caster range" and we certainly don't do anything to chain cast spells.

mq2bst actually doesn't have a way to "just nuke and not melee" unlike say mq2mage or mq2shaman
 
"Follow me" was the culprit. I have it toggled on for other toons. Using the regular /follow for the other toons cleared it up.

Thanks Sic

You don't want follow me, nor /afollow, turned on while fighting.... regardless of what automation tool you use. You're likely run into the sort of behavior that you saw with your beast where conflicting tools are trying to move your characters opposite directions.
 
Does anyone else have an issue with the Bst getting rezzed under the world on deaths? this is the only char i have an issue with and it is a consistent problem.

lol no - but that sounds terrible

do they end up like falling to their deaths or something?

do you run mq2camera on that toon or have any frames issues (like not running framelimiter) - or a weird illusion?

but infinity% getting rezzed under the world would have nothing to do with mq2bst, we don't even accept rezzes
 
Rolled some new toons, making a group with 3 beastlords and some supports classes for them. Issue is one of the Bst is higher level and casts his buf on the two lower level Bsts, they turn around and spam the lower level buff that was over written. Is there a way to have only the higher level beast cast buffs rather than have all three buff at will ?? TIA

howdy Apoc,

Please see >>> Getting Started with CWTN plugins! (Movement, UI Window, Clickies, Pulling, ETC) Check Here First! <<<

you would either byos to stop buffing altogether or block the spells on the toons you don't want the buffs on.

> MQ2Bst FAQ < if you need information on how to block spells

also, please post in the correct location.

I dont have 10 hours to search forums for answers as I work full time and saw it takes 4 hours to link after purchase.

Well we are reaching 10 hours and im unable to link it under the launder and nothing is showing up under plugins.


I am watched under the MQ2bst and nothing is still showing up...............................................................................................................................
 
you might try reloading the launcher and re-patching it. Then goto the plugins tab and hitting the button. I seem to remember the first times having the button say install vs reinstall. In any event its worth the wait.
 
When I purchase these it's usually instant, while I'm on EQ and MQ2 running. So not sure...

Maybe try pressing the Refresh button.
 
I didn't even know they were in the launcher! I just downloaded and copied the .dll to the MQNext/plugins folder and it instantly worked.
 
ive tried relaunching the launcher, reinstalling, it made me upgrade to Macro next,

It has been sititng there with plugin loading for 30-40 minutes.

Reinstalled, didnt work, Exited from taskmanager, then relaunched again - It installed finally?

Spent 2 hours trying to get it to just install. My god I was so pumped to fiddle around with it this morning. Gonna be one of those days :*(

I'm showing you last downloaded this version 3 minutes after your original post. I suppose that means you've sorted your issue and got the plugin loaded?
Next licenses are instant, legacy is the one that takes up to 4 hours now.

Be sure to check out the getting started guide. https://www.redguides.com/community...-clickies-pulling-etc-check-here-first.76746/

We tried to put all the things in the one post. Ofc check the FAQ page for MQ2Bst as well. Sorry you had troubles getting it installed.

First of all great plugin, Love it completely! I wanted to bring to your attention something I just noticed today. Not sure if it has been going on for a while or not. At this very moment in a zone all by himself the beast is constantly recasting "Comrade's Unity". I am not sure why it is doing so, at first it was saying this spell blocked by one of the shaman celerity spell. But he is still casting it even after dropping celerity. This is on a FTP toon if that has anything you factor into it. Finally I was wondering if the plugin would recognize the difference between the 2 different 2her available to the beast. Would it pick the higher dmg one during a burn phase and the slower dmg one during normal fighting? Just an idea. Anyhoo again thank you for your guys hard work!

no, the bandoswap swaps between a 1h/h2h set and a 2h set - there's a full explain in the bst vid. it doesn't do different 2 handers.

re: unity - you'll want to figure out what it causing it, per error messages and such - and then block if you are having a stacking issue like the FAQ mentions - bsts do have a few dumb spells/abilities that actually casts a different rank than what it should under certain circumstances, so this could possibly be one of those.

if your pet is getting its velocityunity overwritten - we would reuse it if velocityunity reports that it stacks.

we will also cast it to give other group members (melee) haste if you have busehaste on - and again same thing with if the autotrigger says it stacks with whatever buffs they have
 
I think I figured out what is happening. Not sure if it's the game, or something on my end. When I cast the spell "Unsurpassed Velocity" my pet gets the normal haste buff, but my beast gets "Exceptional Velocity" which is a level 93 haste buff. I'll keep testing it and trying to figure out what's going on. It apparently does have something to do with it being silver, I have another beast that is gold and is not constantly recasting the buff. Also the silver beast did stop auto recasting as soon as I added exceptional velocity to the blocked buffs list.

So after checking with a gold account beast on my computer with all the same settings what I found is that the gold beast does not continually cast the buff, just the silver one. Otherwise I can't figure out whats going on with him.

my answer would be the same as previous, unfortunately.

turn off usehaste if it is a matter of an issue with the autotrigger

block it on your pet buffs if it is the pet buff portion causing the issue.
 
Hey there,

So my BST is chain casting Comrade's unity... I've added both sub spells to all my chars blocked spells and blocked pet spells, but nothing. He still chain casts. I've also tried unloading and reloading the plugin. I'd actually like to use this buff, but its strange that he keeps casting it.

Originally the "Exceptional Velocity II" portion of the skill was being blocked by me shammy's "Symbol of Celerity", so I blocked it on all chars, but no good. Any advice?

Edit: I also have Usehaste turned off.

can you show me the specific spells you have blocked?

so this is what my bst casts, so if for some reason i wanted them blocked i would add unsurpassed velocity rk. II and spirit of silver rk. II and i can confirm it won't try and cast with those two blocked
1644766378004.png


did you go silver? some bst spells don't actually cast the spell they say they do sometimes - astounding velocity is the same.

my guess is something related to the above

Adding unsurpassed velocity rk. II to pets blocked buffs seems to have done it! Thank you.
 
Can we somehow get the plugin to stop spamming growl when savage rancor is active please?

can you give me more specifics about what you're asking?

We check for stacking, and we don't use it if we already have the buff from Growl, so i need more information on your issue, if even one.

what level are you?

what growl spell SPECIFICALLY?

are you having stacking issues? (red eq error about not stacking)

We only memorize growl if you turned off using swarmpets (useswarmpet) - which i wouldn't recommend doing unless you SPECIFICALLY want swarm pets disabled for an event
