you sound like you have afollow stuck on
you should avoid that - just use chase mode, and let the plugin handle the rest

Q. Do I need to add my epic 1.5/2.0 to addclicky?
A. Bst is one of the classes we don't automatically use your epic 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.

Because it is a poor decision to use.

yes, and you know how to check the FAQ. you have the block the individual spell, not just the "unity" part. you were explained this on discord and the deets are in the faq =p
Q. Bst is chain casting something?
A. There are a few lower lvl / mid level buffs that eq/mq reports stack that do not, or will chain overwrite other buffs and you get into a buffing contest with another toon. You either have this situation or some other issues. I would suggest checking for the red error text that eq gives you to tell you WHY it didn't successfully take hold and then go from there. You can block anything you don't want cast.
This is a built-in everquest feature - right click on the buff and "add this spell to list of blocked spells" or go through the eq menu -> character -> blocked buffs.
EQ Menu -> Character -> Blocked Buffs
EQ Menu -> Character -> Blocked Pet Buffs (to add to anyone's pet blocked spells)
/blockspell add me id
/blockspell add pet id
This is particularly a problem with the focus line, especially if you have a large level gap between the bst and your cleric (particularly if your bst is lower than the cleric) - you can run into issues where mq/eq says that it will stack, but then your armor of line will not actually allow it.
Make sure you understand focus spells cast sub spells, you need to block those sub spells specifically by rank.

If possible, for your consideration, usextargetfocusedparagon
I recently had an issue with SingleMalts feralgia on my new beast I just leveled, he didn't want to cast it until I had an RK II spell for some reason now its up without missing a beat. Not sure if anyone else had that issue, or maybe it was just something strange? I went back and read that it was linked to Dotmanamin, however, i changed that to 5 it did nothing, then got the spell in a mission i was like alright ill just mem it see what happens.

probably no.
can't imagine it making it through your group not needing to toss it on anyone and then finding someone on xtarget.
it wouldn't be an option if it was added, it would just be if xtargetbuffing was on - and then we'd do what we do now, check our group and then it would check xtarget.
i'll think about it, but don't see it actually working how you think

Id like to submit a request for MQ2Beast to ignore Bards when doing Focused Para (heck, or even checking group mana if that's not too much trouble as well for group Para) as those effects don't work for bards and It's always sad watching the bst waste the para over and over again on the bards.

No, but thank you for trying!
I specifically need the ability to not trigger based on a class. There's no mana value I could provide that would keep it from wasting the ability completely on a bard. Bards don't get to use any manaregen abilities, spells, etc. It's their curse

we don't use it for mana for bards already - never have. should check your endurance value you have set for it.
it doesn't cast it on bards for mana.No, but thank you for trying!

it already doesn't cast focused paragon on bards for mana usage.
currently having this issue as well and havent found a way to fix it yet and feel the DPS difference since its a 20% melee dmg difference but been debating using BYoS on him to use an older version cause it gives a similar buff atleast until i get rk 2 feralgia
actually doing some testing its not workingwith the byos custom set anymore either worked fine before but now all of a sudden it stopped been having cast manually

The plugins only use spells it says it uses. So going to an older version of something in a group won't work.

i can't seem to replicate
maybe you're unsure how we use it?
the thing isn't real great dps, but the buff is, so early on we check if we're missing the buff, and if it stacks, and then we cast it for the buff, otherwise it is low on the priority for casting for dps purposes.
I'll keep testing and see if i can find a reason, but there isn't anything specific that is like "don't cast this if rank 1, but cast if it is rank 2"

ok with more testing and logging in other bsties I did not see a crash. Only thing was they were all not in a grp. So I kicked my main bstie form grp and then logged him in. I was able to zone in and out of the GH many times without a crash. The second I added him back to grp I crash out. Something to do with focus paragon changes? Ok just added one of the test bsties to grp I have had on for last 30 mins without any problems and they crashed too as soon as I aded them to grp and got in range of the party.

Looking at it. Thanx.
Okay, seems it doesn't do it with just 2 group members, if you have 3 group members. Say 1 (ldr), 2, 3 and 2 is not in zone or offline then it crashes. Failed to validate the group member has a spawn. My bad, should be building now. Please wait.

sorry guess i did not see the name of new feralgia in LS but i am having the issue with Griklor's Feralgia.... havent done any testing but i dont think there should be any stacking issues unless i am wrong with my current group setup where he is only melee dps besides SK and no shaman either
i think i found out what the issue was but then found it wasnt it... because he will use bay at the moon no problem if i do ByoS which is just the swarm pet but will not use my feralgia line in any mode at all and only uses normal swarm pet outside of chase(mode 3) i dont know if this is intended but i like having the pets there cause they tend to eat some damage and help with the buff as well

mode has absolutely nothing to do with usage (other than pet buff stuff if you're tanking vs not tanking)
yeah after more testing i found that it just wasnt going off and then bought a glowing spellgem to just check and see and ever since started casting feralgia again whereas he would always skip it in the rotation before even if he didnt have the buff active on him or anything else that may cause a stacking issue

@0inkSum1 i figured out the issue.
DBG is accidentally giving players 68055 spell instead of 68052, 68055 is "pet" target type" instead of "self" target type.
They are also giving the pet the 68052 (self), instead of pet. so it looks like it is backwards
so because they fucked it up, the information it is giving is is saying "this is a pet buff so you need to check it stacks with your pet" instead of "this is a self buff and we're checking ourselves"
now i have that info, i'll work on a workaround.
I posted in everquest discord - if someone wanted to make a bug on the everquest forums that would be pretty great

yep we sure dojust a quick question, does this ever use Group beastial Alignment I see him using the single on burns but don't recall him casting the group version if he is i may just be missing it and you can ignore this

that's not true; but it is certainly true that we don't just willy nilly smash buttons because they exist and aren't on cooldown
we currently pair it with ferociousness
the guides for the last several years have all been that GBA is phase3/4
you want to hit Bestial alignment in phase 1, but gba waits.
