MQ2Druid

Plugin - MQ2Druid 3.1.52471.11

i'll take a look, thanks
I had a similar issue. Druid is 119 should be casting single target luclinite blessing as its level 117 highest level, however, was constantly aiming toward the group version 115 opaline blessing. - Aside from that great work seems to be functioning as I need it to, well worth the plugin as soon as its available after test.

yep, i'll take a look at it (and did and there was a bug) will be fixed next build.

glad to hear you're diggin it - had a chance to check out the portal stuff?
 
definitely loving this one, and the fact I can have my druid being cool, while also running a separate macro (which muleassist wouldn't allow) makes me love my druid <3

Checked it out a little bit, it is pretty neat. I don't necessarily port all over so haven't messed a bunch with it but working with what I needed it to. was more interested in adding a druid to our raid force so this is perfect.
 
any chance we could get a different SoW button, like the one for FoE AA line? Just curious, and thank you for another wonderful program!

What?

Did you check the vid/FAQ/commands?

We will *not* use foe, but you can "on demand" it.
 
man I'm loving the portal UI - type location, click button then

Seems to be missing the level 60 spell to AE teleport to the guild hall anchor in the portal interface. There is an aa at level 100 to do the same thing, but before that the spell is used.

Is this designed for high lvl only? I am lvl 20 and I cant get this to cast any offensive spells no matter what mode I am in and what the settings are.

No it isn't.

Please see the sticky that says to read here first, there's a part on how to ask for help.

Because the answer to your question is "nope, for lvls 1 through max".

But you never said what spells you expect to cast and isn't.

You didn't say if you have group MA set.

You didn't say what your settings for mana, assist, campradius etc are

Please see >>> Getting Started with CWTN plugins! (Movement, UI Window, Clickies, Pulling, ETC) Check Here First! <<<
 
When using BYOS and putting the Shadowy Ways spell in the line-up, it chain casts it while engaging NPCs in combat.
can you please provide some more information?

there is a "how to ask for help" in the sticky.

are you getting any stacking issues?

we just check if anyone in the group needs the buff, and then casts it - we're not checking for stacking, (but we can). (We actually do, derp)

are you getting a red eq stacking message error?

Disregard. Deleting post. I think I see the issue.
 
I can't seem to find how to stop the return to camp feature. I move camps sometimes and the druid goes running off back to the previous camp. I took puller off the "Pull" tag and reset it but off he goes running again. camped druid and came back to set new camp.

that means you're not leaving mode 1 (assist). Which means you will return to where you've asked it to.

go mode 0 or mode 2 to move.

check the sticky and check out the move guide
 
Pretty cool and working well. The healing bit gets a bit scary but a druid isn't a cleric eh? :) I will work out some settings on it. Find a good slow pace place to pull and test a few things.
 
I know the plugins are geared towards higher level toons. Would it be possible to have the lower levels pull with snare or throw it once in combat?

No one ever said geared towards anything other than druid stuff:p

We use aa snare, currently not using the regular spell as we don't memorize it -, probably add usage for byos/custom but we will definitely not be pulling with snare.

As usual its probably user error... but.... my MQ2Druid doesn't seem to be sitting when I expect him to. The puller/ma/tank is sitting waiting for group to heal to requirements while the druid stands there saying "what? are you waiting on little 'ol me" but isn't sitting down. He isn't casting or doing anything else, just standing there admiring the surroundings. I don't think its happening all the time, but I have caught puller doing nothing for a long time a few times because of this. Any ideas what situations this might happen in? (if i tell him to sit manually he stays sit, if a fight starts he joins in and does his bit). He is in hybrid loadout, which isn't something I often have him in....

What mode (0-7) do you have them in? Are they casting, or mem'ing, demem'ing spells? is the MQ2druid output saying your doing "things"?

as all the plugins we sit in assist mode (1) when there are no mobs on xtarget, or in chasemode or vorpal when the MA is sitting - 4, 5, 6, 8 we would sit between combat / medding, and 7 we don't.

you sound like you're in manual mode (0)

No he was in assist. He was engaging with MA if I made him pull something. Its happening again, I am trying moving camp a little bit, maybe they weren't close enough or the terrain was funny.... I dunno...

all the plugins use the exacty same functions here for this behavior and have for all the years they've been out - mq2druid doesn't have its own assist mode, they're all shared in our cwtn commons library.

we don't let you make a camp in a place without a mesh, but if somehow you ended up in a place that prohibited you from getting back to camp that would happen
 
Hmmm, interesting. Western Wastes has some wierd spots, so I suppose thats possible. I moved camp over a tiny bit and everything seems ok now. But if I see it again I'll make more notes about location and see if that tracks. It sounds plausible. Thank you.
 
Ok so Absolutely think this is a bomb ass plugin! FIRST time using it in our raid obviously can see time stamp - The druid was set to FACTORY settings as Sic/CWTN set them, nothing changed (im sure if i turned off the AAs for natures bolt etc i wouldve had more mana for more dps but this info is for someone walkin in blind to a druid with 0 knowledge of it) First off i wanna say they are casting just about everything correctly from what i see - casting the huge dots and nukes. Love it! keeping it simple and doing just fine.

Here is a parse from out raid today that we did. Group make up was Shm/Druid/Chant/Mage/Mage/Mage (yes we know we stacked druid and shaman but we did trial and error of something for our own records).

As you can see out of our 19 raid force Druid did enough DPS to sustain almsot 900k dps in 1662s (that is with being completely bone dry mana from 15% under) Rest of the toons above druid were Magicians with Raid ears / Raid arms and raid 2 handers. The druid was in NOS T2/T3 GROUP Gear with ALL RK1 Spells and Max AAs. NO AUGS (type 3/7/8/5)

I give it a solid 5/5 rating for this case as my other 5 magicians that beat this toon are full type 5s (more mana) with type 3s, RK3 spells, and Raid focuses. Hands down 10/10 Thanks @Sic and @ChatWithThisName

Shei Vinitras in 1662s, 18.62B Damage @11.20M, 4. Mage +Pets = [email protected] in 1583s {G} | 5. Mage +Pets = [email protected] in 1600s {G6} | 6. Druid +Pets = [email protected] in 1599s {76} | 7.Mage +Pets = [email protected] in 1600s {G7}

I just noticed that when useAOE is enabled, nothing gets memorized. Other plugins like Mage memorize beam AE DD. The druid has both Cold and Fire beams. I tested with all 3 loadouts.

I'm really enjoying the plugin, but I use my own portals:

I am really looking forward to putting this Plugin to use. Right now I'm PLing a guildmate. But I can't wait to see how the issue of mana is addressed. If anyone can figure it out I trust Sic can! I'll give my remarks when I get to really dig into the Plugin.

Honestly mana issue is an issue across the board for Druids ATM even full high end raid toons, BEST way to help for mana ATM is get a raid focuses Ring, and focus on best in slot gear. Augs for mana are huge help as well

that is currently correct.

you can tell what spells the plugin uses by what it says when it loads up.

our groups are "Heliacal AE" (fire), "Chill AE" (cold), "Tectonic AE", and the "Hail AE" rain aoe spell.

you can byos/byos-custom if you want to customize your loadout.

I currently don't plan on adding AoE's to automatically memorize, but may in the future.

using heliacal AE instead of "Summer Shock" is a no-brainer that is an easy 1:1 swap, so i'll add that for now and will think about the rest (i have thoughts but need time to work out)
 
I may be mistaken, but MQ2Druid doesn't seem to cast Mammoth's Strength (under Strength Buffs in the spell bar menu, level 80ish or 90ish spell) at higher levels (105+, not sure about lower levels). It's an attack buff and adds 10% melee damage. Any chance of getting that added to the buff rotation with a UseSTR option? Cheers.

we use the STStr on melee toons up to lvl 95 (highest level spell in the lineup is 86), we stop here because of stacking issues and where else you get that from

nah, we won't have a "usestr option" Almost always the answer to "can there be a toggle/button" is going to be no.

you can always use mq2buffme and request it by name if you want it, but if you're over 95, we're not going to cast it
 
I am showing Bolstered growth casting about 1-2 seconds before it wears off completely. Which gets it stuck in a +10000% casting timer loop even though the spell cast bar is gone. You can duck out of it and it will cast it again immediately.

I don't know what that means.

we also check your actual file from what eq/mq is telling the file. we don't cast until you no longer have the buff which results in not writing the buff to the buff file

i don't know what a +10000% casting timer loop is. if you mean the spell casting is hung up - that's an eq bug.

if you are experiencing unusual spell server delays i'd suggest you post in the official daybreak forums with your server and your spell so they can fix it, but we are not doing anything differently with this spell than we do with any other spells.

I know eq has some issues with their buff syncing on what the toon and the server say - but there's not much we can really do about that, outside of delaying casting the bear by an additional arbitrary amount that may or may not address the problem.

I'd strongly encourage you to post on the forums
 
bolstered growth cannot be recast while you still have its buff on you. this results in a locked up spell bar, you can duck or /stopcast to unlock

1: Decrease Spell Haste by 10000%
2: Limit Spells: [Group 5666]
3: Summon Pet: PCSwmDruS24L116BearBlkRk1 x 1 for 365s
4: Limit Spells: Nourishing Growth
5: Limit Spells: Sustaining Growth
6: Limit Spells: Bolstered Growth
7: Limit Spells: [Group 2506066]
8: Limit Type: Include Non-Focusable
Summons a bear cub that will bless you with Bolstered Replenishment when it reaches maturity. If you currently have this spell or others like it active, it will prevent itself from being cast again.

only had the bolstered growth spell lockup 2 times that i've seen since using MQ2Druid and i think that was because the plugin wasnt getting the chance to switch back to the spell normally in that slot. having to remem the spell each time you need to use it seems to take enough time that happens only rarely

yes, i know you can't have it while you have it. That is why we don't cast it while you have it :)

i strongly encourage folks to report issues like this to dbg so they can fix things they have broken
 
In Kunark winds of the south was the port for emerald jungle, like winds of the north was a skyfire port along with the other skyfire ports. I have not found a way to get emerald jungle to load up. The only spell the druid has is winds of the south for that port that I know of unless someone else has found it. Thanks for the help. Other than that the druid is great.
