Gotcha. I was just trying to keep mending and alliance memmed and on while keeping Endemic in use as well. I see what you are saying. I fixed it now by letting it keep Mending in gem 7 and putting Endemic in 14. Seems to work much better and as expected. Don't know why I didn't think of that before since Mending normally goes in 7. Sorry about that.
well. the change i'm going to make is that if you have the 125 mnemonic for gem 14, and you have both usealliance and use mending on, that mending goes into 14 so endemic can stay in 7
 
This just started today, but my BST is not Assisting. I have not changed anything, tank is set to MA, but my BST will not start attacking until I manually target the MA mob. Up until today, she has worked perfectly.
Any suggestions?

Check that New UI did not get re-checked by DBG. Check that you have framelimiter running. Check that you're in an assist mode.

Nope, nothing changed - been running bst all day here.

Group ma assigned, in a mode to assist
Assistat value correct (I use 100, 100% of the time)
Appropriate camp radius

Eq group does bug out sometime, so might want to reform it
Check that New UI did not get re-checked by DBG. Check that you have framelimiter running. Check that you're in an assist mode.
We actually give a warning now if your new UI is turned on
 
Checked all of the above...

The EQ Gods are listening... Right after I posted here, she started working correctly and has been since...

It is very weird, no rhyme or reason, but it is hit or miss to whether my BST will attack or not. She almost always casts spells, using AA's. But attacking or sending pet in not so much. I am just not sure what is going on.

unfortunately hard to say - there's nothing "new" and nothing specific to "bst" that should make that happpen - all the assisting and entering combat is all the same

are you sure you didn't turn off usestick?

can you snip your settings window plz
 
Here is what I have... I have not changed a thing.

so look on your map when youre not assisting and you think you should be - i suspect the mob is not inside your campradius (mob dot outside your red circle) - i'd suggest making your assist toons assist radius larger than your ma - otherwise it is possible the mob is inside the ma's camp, but not inside the assist toons camp.

if im sitting in a static camp i usually do like 45 on MA and 60 on the rest (unless fighting large mobs like dracoliches - then i just go 80/100

huntertank/chase would probably net you more xp unless you're doing something real specific

also might be sitting around trying to get resituated with combatsummon pet, I'd turn that off unless you really need it - imo probbably a dps loss for "regular mobs"
 
I changed CampRadius to 45 MA/100 everyone else, turned off CombatSummonPet, everything is well within the red circle. She will just not target what the MA has targeted and attack all the time. Maybe 1 out of 5 pulls she will. It is like she is more interested in healing than DPS. I have watched her casting and about all she is doing is Paragon and Healing.

I usually do use HunterTank mode, but right now I cannot. I dont have this problem on HunterTank though. So that is why I am confused.

this makes me think you're using the new eq ui engine, which we would warn you about - and that you have something wrong with your xtarget window on that toon

you should (and we turn on) autohater and autoadd to xtarget window etc

are you running any other scripts / stuff that fucks with your xtarget window information? we disable the ones we know about - but people are *sneaky* and pass around other shit and then have conflicts

More than likely your tank drops below 80, bst starts a heal, healer tops off tank, but then tank takes damage, so bst starts another heal.. turn off us mending, or set your MA heal to like 50..
dunno - still shouldn't/wouldn't cause this behavior

The new UI is never on for any of my accounts. And my Xtar window is only let to have the #1 set to targets target. (I changed everything to Auto now)

Not running other scripts, only MQ2BST

we warn you that you can't use group member target
You are not able to use Group/Puller/Raid Assist Target or Group Tank's Target as a designated XTarget Slot, it messes with aggro detection.

guess i should add target_target to that.

they all need to be autohater

Done, I will see how it goes.
 
Hello,

I recently purchased 3 class plugins, beastlord and enchanter being 2 of them.
I want my beastlord to cast every possible buff on Self, Pet, Group, and group pets (including Resist Buffs), and recast them when they wear off.
How can I set this up?
Same question for enchanter, how can i pick extra buffs for it to use, such as the illusions that add Dex and proc, to cast on melee and pets.

Thanks

Please make sure to post general cwtn class plugin questions in the cwtn class plugin section.

for mq2bst you should post in the mq2bst thread
for mq2enchanter you should post in the mq2enchanter thread.

I went ahead and duplicated your post and merged them into the discussion threads

we don't cast "everything" so we won't cast "every possible buff" we cast the buffs that we've programmed it to cast, on the characters (class/role) that we've designated them for, for the circumstances that they've been set for.

some stuff gets useless and oudated, and we would never use it again --- for example: mq2bst uses the "STStr" line on melee classes only up to level 79

or like in mq2enchanter, we dont cast "GiftOf" line (this is only the manapool, not including "gift of pure thought" once we hit level 70

outside of that you can leverage MQ2BuffMe and request buffs by name /tell bst buffme cool buff you want on on the beast /buffthem <name> cool buff you want them to have

we do the "illusions that dex/proc" that is the NDT line -
 
Hi! Having a weird issue specifically with MQ2Bst (I also run a few others and not having the same issue) and trying to resolve myself is not getting me anywhere; also didn't see anything when searching this thread.

The program is force targeting my pet. By that I mean, as soon as I try to click a target (ANY other target), it immediately reverts to targeting my pet. If I unload and reload, it works normal for just a few seconds but then goes back to doing this. If I pause the plugin, everything is normal. When I'm grouped up and assisting everything is fine, but if I need to do anything manual on the beast I have to pause the program. I've tried turning on/off several things, changing what mode I'm in. Just lost for a next step on troubleshooting. Any help would be appreciated!

can you show me your add clickies?

the only way we'd target your pet is when we were going to (and able to) use a clicky that requires taretting your pet)

dbg recently changed some clickies - and i reworked some way we handle things - so it is also possible you *are* actually trying to do something

like for some reason have the scalewrought flyer illusion on your pet - and then trying to shrink it (cause some reason that illusion doesn't shrink like would be expected)


id try this : pause - manually strip all your pet's buffs - check addclicky doesn't have anything weird (or duplicated things, like more than one metamorph), then unpause and see how it goes
 
Thanks for the quick reply! I was having a weird interaction with a familiar buff - it seemed to want to illusion my pet rather than just register that the familiar buff was on my beast. I tried blocking that illusion on my pet, but it still continued to want to cast it via spam casting. After removing that familiar from the list altogether, the targeting bug persisted. Screenshot attached.

Edit/follow-up - I tried manually stripping and letting the program recast buffs. Seems to have fixed it! Thank you, sir!

Replying since it happened again. It's the beastlord 2.0 epic clicky - was able to reproduce. Even when pet has the buff, it's wanting to target and cast (but not actually casting, since the buff is on). When the recast timer refreshes is when it starts happening again. If I remove the epic clicky from Downtime, it fixes the targeting issue. You mention dbg recently changing some clickies, but I have no idea if this is one of them, and I imagine it would be more than just me having problems. I can obviously easily fix myself by removing that one from the clicky list but wanted to share I narrowed it down to that one. Thanks again.

we don't add that automatically - because it is kinda meh - many folks don't use the bst 2.0

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.

I'll see if i can replicate and see what to do about fixing it - i don't have any bsts with the 2.0 for the aforementioned reasons (and cause every time i've tried to do it the luclin grimling stuff bugs out heh)

we *should* only be targeting *After* we have decided they need it, which doesn't sound like it is happening, so this should be an easy fix
 
so for clarity - it does not appear it was a dbg/eq fault, it does appear it was a "me" fault, gonna rebuilt here in a few mins, i suspect this will fix that up
 
Hey, I did a search but didn't find an easy answer. If have have plugins for MQ2BST and MQ2SHM how do I keep them from a continuous overwrite of each others "Spirit of Tala'tak" AA.
I can turn off "use SOW" on MQ2BST but didn't know if there is any other way in case i am mixing up the toons I use and not forget the setting.

Redacted Logs the BST and SHM just loop through this during any downtime or when plugin is not paused:
[Sat Aug 30 11:10:29 2025] Your Spirit of Tala'Tak spell on <Name> has been overwritten.
....
[Sat Aug 30 11:10:31 2025] <Shamen PC >begins casting Lupine Spirit IV.
[Sat Aug 30 11:10:33 2025] You feel the spirit of Tala`Tak enter you.

Yep, have one of them turn it off

"Usesow" is the option
 
Hi Sic,
I'm raiding with a bst box and I want the BST to constantly cast dots but I can't seem to get the settings correct to do it. Would you mind letting me know what I'd need to set to get the bst to dot immediately and keep up dots the whole fight?

There's nothing special for dotting particularly other that dotmanamin values. So check there.

If you're assisting and doing everything else you should, that's the only thing(s).

Also for sure want to not be using the new UI engine, but we warn you on that
 
Is it chain casting Astounding Velocity because i am level 115? I cant figure out how to get it to stop. Just got the plugin and am still learning all this.

If i click Astounding Velocity off the pet, he will cast Feralist's Unity V then go back to chain casting Astounding Velocity.

did you drop to silver?

astounding is a weird spell, if you go gold and then back to silver it sometimes the spell it says it does is different than the spell it does

or you might want to check you didn't block a different rank of the spell/triggered spell --- EQ will block all ranks, but we specifically only care about the *specific* spell for blocked purposes.
 
I am having a similar issue that I had on my Shaman on my beastlord. I have Spirit Strength blocked on all players and all pets in my group. This group is on Live. The Beastlord spams Spirit Strength (level 28BST spell) over and over. I tried blocking the spell using the spell codes and also the name of the spell.

There is one difference in this instance, however. All the pets do have Raging Strength on them (from the shaman in the group) and it says that the spirit strength spell would not take hold because of the raging strength. But the way I understand it is that if the Spirit Strength spell is blocked, the beastlord should not be trying to cast spirit strength at all.

Correct, if you have it blocked (by name) we won't cast it on the person who has it blocked.

If it is casting "spiritual strength on Bob" Bob needs the spell blocked. Can you show me the blocked spells showing spiritual strength being cast on (can pm if you wish). If it is a pet, make sure it is pet blocked too
 
Hello! Been loving all the plugins - ran into a curiosity with the BST - picked up a raid 1hp... but attempting to use the 1hp as part of a DW bando set is not recognized (it says I don't have bandolier sets... but if I change it back to my previous group 1hb+h2h it is cool again.)

Thanks for all the hard work!

Q. What is BandoSwap?
A. BandoSwap will check your bandolier sets for a 1hb 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.
