MQ2Druid

Plugin - MQ2Druid 3.1.52471.11

You can actually see mask usage in the video.

We don't currently use skin to lichen, but I can take a look (I have notes in it that we don't use)
mq2afnuke uses Skin to Lichen at the beginning of every fight. the additional damage from my mage and wizard is very quantifiable. Only reason I started a druid was for this and Aura
 
Burn always is intended for when you're group has no problem with the existing content and and the goal is to kill as much as possible as fast as possible with no need to retain burns for named or emergencies.
Outside of that there isn't a good reason to use burnalways on any class.

BurnAlways will
- Consume all the stamina / mana
- Not make efficient use of the burns available
- cause your character to not be prepared in the event of an emergency
- make you be sad that your "burns" aren't topping the DPS charts
- etc etc etc
- etc
It's fun for fast AA/cloak grinding when there's no chance of dying.
 
Is there a chance we can retain Nightchill Aura in the spell line up and prioritize it when it ends? I'm grinding atm and the plugin is not memming it to cast. There are several spells that aren't being used at all. One of those spells can be eliminated in favor of Aura

Unused spells in spell line up:
Tenebrous Sunray (Disabled by useDot false)
Saprophyte Assault
Onyx Moonbeam (Disabled by useDot false)

no, don't plan on doing that, you can byos/byos-custom to have aura loaded if you want (or depending on certain settings there are cirumstances there is nothing loaded, and you can load it there without problems. I already said i'd check out recasting aura in combat if you already had it memorized - but this is actually the only plugin WITH an option to turn it off specifically due to moving around when grinding and stopping after combat to memorize and recast is such a pain in the ass

turning usedot and usenuke intentionally doesn't change the loadout. same as the other plugins, this is no different - so don't plan on changing those things
 
Loving MQDruid so far.

running my "main" druid with byos simply because i am used to my own setup and loadout. it dps as well as i do and heals better than i do. it actually sustained 1.1mil dps over a 45 min fight even with mana bouncing off empty.
alt druid using default loadout for healing still maintained 700k dps over the same 45 mins (they both had necros using grp mana tap)

interesting note is that druid group curing is way more reliable than shm. druids never missed a cure but shm failed at least 50% of the time untill i got annoyed and paused the plugin and used /twist to brute force cures.

gonna go load up a lower level group and see how that goes.

nice, 45m fight is a long one!

never had cure failings here - but shammies are very busy toons with a lot going on - they actually use the same logic for cures
 
I have a couple items not coming up, will try and correct those in next couple of days
I was going to address this.
It seems none of the "old world" circles rings or zephyrs function correctly in a search. Lavastorm, Ro, Butcherblock, Feerrott,, 'circle of', succor, misty thicket, commonlands, north karana, etc all fail to populate in a search.

Haven't had a chance to see how it performs in a group setting yet. Little surprised by a couple spell choices, but we'll see how it does.

How I read this ... I've not used it yet but i'm pre-judging your choices already ... what those choices are im not going to say out loud though...
 
Q: I want to use the "Skin to Plant" line?
A: In Heal mode, we will memorize it if you UseCureAll, UseGroupCureAll, and UseCharm is off and UseSkinToPlant is on
in hybrid/dps mode, we will memorize it in slot 2 if UseSkinToPlant is on

Saw the Druid Portal pic on the first page. First thought was, as a new user to this world, it would be nice if a sentence on how to access that panel were included. Finding info on this site is sometimes quite a challenge if you have not been here for years as things developed. I tried the EQ button MQ section in the game and found the MQ portal setting link but it did not actually bring up the box. the vid says use /dru portal. I was not smart enough to view the vid first... still suggest adding (/dru Portal) under the pic on the Overview page for people like me. :P

The druid was the first toon I ever made back in 2000 when I started with Everquest, I am an end user who can manage some script manipulation, but I am not a programmer, so am very happy that MQ2 plugins exists. I am old and live with another old, now disabled player and these programs make it possible for him to keep playing when the mind is willing but the fingers, not so much. So, thank you. Keep up the good work.

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

well. the vid i go over it

you can also click the button in the cwtn ui window

I don't know how else for you to get that information if you skip all the possible places for that information to be :(
I'm open to suggestions

the entry information for this has been hidden in the MQ2Druid resource (really not that hard to find).


If you have already completed the task to enter, before the details were available, that counts as an entry. <3 good luck

I am unlocking this thread and hopefully mq2druid will be available in a few hours (you'll see a new RG build when it is).
can anyone tell me what is it cause im too dumb to find it lol
 
not sure why notes didn't populate yet

MQ2Druid: |
- Classic expansion portals now show back up in the portal UI.
- UseSkinToPlant is now an option.
-- SkinToPlant usage added.
-- Q: I want to use the "Skin to Plant" line?
-- A: In Heal mode, we will memorize it if you usecureall, usegroupcureall, and usecharm is off in hybrid/dps mode, we will memorize it in slot 2 if useskintoplant is on.
- We will now recast druid aura in combat if we have it memorized (like byos / byos-custom).
-- no plans to make an option to keep it memorized at this time.

Druid keeps popping out of EQ. Window just goes away, no error message or anything. Anyone else run into this? Was working fine last night for hours. Can't keep her logged in for more than 2 mins now.

nope, but if you can provide some context or information in/around that i might be able to see if it is related
 
That debuff in specific doesn't have a dot counter or charges, or match any of the usually things to cure, but I'll check for spa, and then add it to cure.
Anything attached to the Vortex of Ro AA 957.

Pillar of Ro
Column of Ro
Gaze of Ro
Glare of Ro
Scrutiny of Ro

Radiant Cure AA 153 / Purified Spirits AA 626
As it's detrimental.

If it were me and it's not, it's a cleanse after combat type thing.
Recast on Vortex only 6 seconds.
Adds just mean you'll get it again.
For combat druids anyways.

yep, appreciate the extra stuff, but no, definitely don't need all that. I'll be doing all that looking at stuff anyhow. I just mean "the reason why it isn't curing is because it isn't a dot with a counter or an SPA that we're looking for"

Did you update via the launcher? Updates are coming frequently in the past couple of days.
 
I'll try. I'm on test. Using all CWTN plugins with ISBoxer. Have SHD set to puller-tank, the rest of the group on Assist. Druid is slot 4 in my character set. No discernable specific action that causes druid to go poof.

I did about 45 mins ago. I can try reloading everything though.

Yep I am an idiot. I updated my post : I tried the EQ button MQ section in the game and found the MQ portal setting link but it did not actually bring up the box. the vid says use /dru portal. I was not smart enough to view the vid first... still suggest adding (/dru Portal) under the pic on the Overview page for people like me. :P What an amazing feature.

These days, it's a good idea to monitor this site and to "Watch" Very Vanilla Live or Very Vanilla Test so you get notifications.

All the plugins have all the commands in the commands tab. Best thing to do is use this information to your advantage when seeking commands in the future.

hey wanted to say thanks for pre-release access to give this a try!
i got a druid from 100-almost 111 last night and it worked, except she would crash to desktop or like dawg said, eq just goes away. i did keep it updated, as i get emails for this thread and updates, and it still occurred. happened about 3 times overall last night, just randomly.

Are you also on the test server.

Please make sure to read the sticky about how to ask for help.

I understand that you think there's not much information but giving the actual steps to reproduce it is going to save an incredible amount of time where I have to beg and plead you to try and give me enough information to say why it's randomly doing something it shouldn't

Like if you have any settings that you've changed or any circumstances that it seems to happen during.

um no.

i am not asking for help, im thanking you and giving you feedback...is that not what this thread is?

and i said randomly on purpose. i literally changed 0 settings as i didnt really care what exactly she was doing as i was leveling her.

she randomly crashed...not sure why i get this response but hey, thanks for the reply anyhow.

Uh. Ok I guess?

while feedback is welcome, it actually isn't for thanking and feedback - pre-release is so people can try things out before it is put for sale, and while some finishing adjustments are done as broader people share their experiences.

but i would imagine saying "yes i have that experience too" and my desire for you to not have that experience would be met with more of a "ok np, so there i was, staring down the business end of a spear from a rough lizardman, and then boom - outta no where, crashed..."

but ok :'(
 
gotcha, i really had nothing else to say about the crashes. i wish i did, and i definitely wouldnt expect anyone to try and delve into "my experience" bc there just isnt enough information. i just wanted to pigback and note it, incase it happens to someone else, maybe they might have more info
 
Well, our hope is to fix this mystery crash. So if someone also has the crash and tell us what the character was doing so we can narrow it down instead of just casually glazing through thousands of lines of code it would help.
So if someone can say "I was in combat at the time, but tabbed out to another character" that at least puts us somewhere in the combat logic. If someone says I was afk in the guild hall, that would indicate that they were NOT in the combat routine, and we can rule that chunk of code out.

That is to say, while it would certainly be helpful if you said "I can reliably reproduce the crash by doing XYZ", simply giving us some information about what the character was or should have been doing at the time may assist in keeping you and everyone else that has or might experience the crash from having to reload their druid into the game. It could narrow it down from thousands of lines of code to potentially a hundred lines of code. In this way if multiple users explain what was happening at the time of the crash we may be able to fix the bug sooner than later as we don't expect you to accept the crashes as part of your new life with druids.

Hope this helps. I was in with no crashes at all for over an hour buying spells and getting setup in a new zone. With zero settings changed from default it is consistently popping to desktop as soon as combat is joined.

Additional info and setting seemingly found. Druid is currently level 44. The nuke she's trying to use is firestrike. If I toggle use nuke to off, so far no crashes.

nothing remarkable about that spell and we actually don't even memorize it in our load out

manually memorizing it
seem to cast it as expected

That's odd, because I never memorized it manually and am not using BYOS.

Additional info, just removed firestrike from my spellbar and clicked use nuke back on. Popped right to desktop.

anything else on your spell bar that we didn't put there? trying to narrow down the issue

not many things at that level

The only spell I memorized manually was lesser succor in slot 7.

Current line-up:
1. Drifting Death
2. Nature's Renewal
3. Snare
4. Drones of Doom
5. Was Firestrike (removed it for now, so empty slot. Even with it off the spellbar if I toggle use nuke on it crashes right to desktop)
6. Immolate
7. Lesser Succor
8. Counteract Poison
