unfortunately this is due to what eq tells mq about buffs stacking.

you should probably byos on your 115 until that situation doesn't exist
can't imagine your 115 is doing much on 120+ raids =p
I had a feeling that is what it was.

And yes, he is a speed bump lol on raids
 
Any possibility of adding some saved states to the UI? For example when I am focused on a particular character i like to turn down the automation to just handling spell casts during combat and then when boxing turn all of the automation back on. Being able to save a few setting combinations like this and switch between them at will would be such a time saver.

Nope, not at this time. Maybe a huge overhaul down the line, but nah.

Just use a little Lua script or macro to change the settings how you want
 
sic, i have a question, but i think this may be geared towards all the CTWN plugins.


can you filter hunter tank by a select set of mobs? say i need or want to kill only 1 or 2 types of mobs for material farming, is this doable? i'm guessing 99% no, but i wanted to check!

you could by exclusion *add no kill mobs to ignore* (thats not what its made for).. i recommend pocketfarm or the other tool that was built for it :f5:
 
Wrong forum
just screwing around and made a new alt (BST) put it in hunter tank mode on plugin. Is there a way to do hunter without tanking? i want the plugin to stop changing myself to tank and let the tank merc tank.
 
What plugin?
Ahh, it wasn't obvious from the Forum navigation link until I clicked on Plugin Discussion.

You can try puller assist, but you will come back to camp, unless you make your camp gigantic. But you may need to assign you merc as tank, and yourself as assist.

No clue if that will work.

And BSTs can tank, better than the mercs. And the BST pet can tank way better than either.
 
I've been craving a tank mode which doesn't invoke any camping. Just want to auto-tank everything on the aggro list.

I agree BST can tank but at level 15 now tank mercs just plvl and can kill everything if you let them tank, I think it's like this till about 50 but someone will correct me.

I tired to set myself as assist and merc as tank but as soon as I put it on hunter tank it changes it, and mercs follow that so if they are not marked as tank they won't try as hard to hold agro.

I would imagine all classes see this issue are earlier levels. I just don't know how to prevent the plugin from changing the roles if I set them how I want it.

Each resource on RG has an Overview / Discussion Thread and either a link to their wiki or tabs with FAQ, Commands, Etc.
Please make sure to post in the respective discussion thread, and check the FAQ/Commands/Wiki for information before posting.

mq2bst has its own discussion thread - you don't need your very own.

to answer your question - no. the only "hunter" mode is huntertank, you'd have everyone else in chasemode.

in our opinion, mercs are basically worthless, and since this is boxing software we encourage you to use other boxes and not mercs.

Ok thank you. I agree mercs are useless but just early on and didnt want to keep updating gear every couple levels.

I figured with it being a question I have had when using multiple plugins figured I wouldn't put it under a specific plugin.

there is still no way to do hunter without tanking. huntertank mode still does tanking stuff. like the overview chart shows

if you strictly mean "not mark me as group main tank" then yes, turning off grouproles (which is an intentional temporary setting)
/bst setgrouproles off

sorry i didnt include all that thanks.. it does help because when i have screwed around on shaman/rogue/bst when using huntertank it makes your role as tank.
at level 1-55 tank mercs just solo everything and are like 3 times stronger then played tanks so that /shd (class code) setgrouproles off is honestly a big deal.
mercs dont take agro unless they are marked as tank in group. sorry i was just trying to update the person who commented on the post before just incase they
were interested in the same thing or if i found a way to prevent the plugin from changing the roles of the group.
i do appricate the help Sic
 
hey Sic, not trying to bug you again about this, i asked you a few months ago i think, but my beast(s) still never use GBA not that its a huge deal but have just been trying to figure it out forever and still haven't.

When i fixed the stuff that wasn't working you didn't say that wasn't working when i replied with "gba, fero and savage rancor are burn abilities with requirements if/when to use them, i'll take a peak but don't see at a quick glance there being an issue", so if it was still an issue, i didn't know - and it is a huge deal! so thanks for bringing it back up

No prob, everything else is working fine for me just not gba.
 
So while playing around with my beast to make sure I was using all the appropriate rk3 spells I noticed that Gem 5 uses Restless Lance (112) vs Crystalline Lance (117) I was just curious if there was a specific reason for this since they look to be about the same in every way that I can tell other than dmg?
Two spell groups/timers

please don't attach crash dmps - they have the potential to have personal information in them.
I'm aware of the crash but i haven't been able to replicate it and it *appears* to only be happening on very very very few people - perhaps even just you

it is only happening on your bst? cause it isn't mq2bst specific related
hrm - perhaps something different

My bad, on the dump file , won't happen again. If it's only me then bummer, thx for the response though.

i edited my post before you responded again.

this crash is actually something different i believe, so im taking a look

in the meantime turn off usealliance
 
How can I get it to buff my pet with Deadlock Jaws?
I like to have the extra chance of my pet being able to slow the mobs.
It seems way more beneficial to me than a small dmg boost from other procs.
Thank you

Have you read the FAQ?

You can use BYOS. Though you're going to lose a spell gem to hold that buff.
