Sic updated MQ2Druid with a new update entry:

10/12/2023

- added emerald jungle and skyfire "Wind of the South/North"
- corrected issue with lessersuccor
- corrected issue with certain portal AAs
- Due to random eq bug on some servers, we'll delay an additional 3 seconds before we try and cast Bear (mana bear)
- We will now memorize Heliacal AE instead of Summer Shock line if UseAoE is on
- "paid" release goes live Oct 18th, 2023
- Don't forget
-- The RG Launcher is unable to *delete* old files.
-- This means you will get an error box if you don't...

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
MQ2Druid is casting bolstered growth while the buff has 2 seconds left on it. the spell casting bar goes normal time, but the spell gems lockout and you cant cast spells for the 10000% spell casting delay attached to the spell.

K.

Not going to argue with you as per usual.

It is an eq bug. The server and the toon are desync'd. Eq is telling your toon you don't have it.

If you haven't reported it, please do.
 
Just curious if this is happening before purchasing... not that I ever win anything ~
prolly sometime this morning.

Congratz to winners, your licenses have been distributed.
To those that weren't so lucky. MQ2Druid is now available for purchase.

As a reminder, if you don't plan to purchase a license to MQ2Druid you will need to disable it in the macroquest.ini or delete the MQ2Druid.dll from your macroquest plugins folder.

If you have already checked the RG Launcher Plugin Tab then read the following:
- The RG Launcher is unable to *delete* old files.
-- This means you will get an error box if you don't have a current plugin that matches the mq build
-- your options are:
--- a: purchase a license
--- b: delete the old .dll in your plugin folder, and/or
--- c: change your macroquest.ini to MQ2PluginName=0 under [Plugins]
 
Great Work with this. Thank you Sic and any other contributors for MQ2Druid. Its nice to be able to use my druid again. Having much more fun.
 
Thanks folks! and as stated 100 times, great work on all the plugins!! Druid one is kick ass!
 
It was good till it lasted....hehe nice jobs on it guys, if the money exchange wasnt so unfair on my country atm i would definitely buy this
 
If I can drop enough random troll posts on this site to pay for my sub to RG for as many months as I have, it's the least I can do. I'd hate to be in that position with currency conversion and bad rates. Hope Zee continues to enjoy the plugin! I've enjoyed MQ2druid a lot! It made me make a caster group for a change.
 
When payday hits, I'll be buying my licence for this plugin! Looking forward to seeing what comes next, these tools have made playing the game that much more fun for me.
 
Question for the Reptile buff. For some reason the druid appears to be casting this on that tank when he already has it with 8-9min remaining. I dont see any red messages poping up and clearly its sticking if it currently on tank. Any ideas on possible conflicts or something I might be doing wrong?

well. we only cast it on your MA, and we only cast it if they don't have the buff, so if somehow your buffs file says you don't have it, then we buff. and to be clear you're talking about "Reptile" line of spell s like "Bulwark of the Reptile" etc?

yep, we check that like we do every other buff and only cast it when they dont' have it (and it stacks with other stuff they do)
 
Update, it looks like Bulwark of the Reptile has a stacking issue with Preservation of the Basilica (PAL). They just keep overwriting one another so its an endless cycle. I'll just turn one off however im not sure if you want to add anything to prevent the casting if target has one or other to prevent spam.

well as mentioned in the FAQs and such, there are spells that are going to do that. so you would want to determine if you need to turn one off, and/or block one.

but as far as mq2druid is concerned (and mq2pal) working as intended here.

if you are like "hey bilbo, can you take xyz buff" and bilbo is like "yeah it will land on me and i don't have it" then you're going to do it - there are, unfortunately, some spells that eq->mq says stack/overwrite but don't - and those you'd get the red error messages

reptile is defaulted off, and i'd suggest leaving it off unless you have a warrior tank in your group. the reason we don't only use it on warriors is maybe a pal/shd aren't using their buff, and want the reptile - so we have the toggle and it is defaulted off
 
hey sic, my drood isnt buffing on xtarget anymore, it used to do before but now it wont auto buff outside group with xtarget on them

there haven't been any changes to buffing / xtarget buffing.

those characters need to be local characters on same computer/install

oh must be that then...i changed my second group composition to run only on the notebook, i will put one of them in the normal computer
 
Loving MQ2Druid! One thing I am noticing (during my weekely Shei raid) is that Frost of the Dusksage Tender isn't triggering for every cast of Chill of the Dusksage Tender. What I think this means is that Chill of the Dusksage Tender isn't lasting it's full duration before being recast (is has to reach full duration to trigger Frost). I have 7 recasts of Chill with timing between casts of 2:09, 1:55, 2:05, 1:57, 2:11, 1:52, and 1:54. Chill duration is shown as (1:42 - 2:06) on the spell info window. Compared to very well played manual druid on the same raid, this leaves ~40 million damage (17 million vs 57 million) on the table for the entire raid duration. It appears to me that my Frost only triggered 2 or maybe 3 times (2:09, 2:11, with a possible at 2:05). Just to note both druids (plug-in and manual) had ~54 million total damage from Chill for the same raid and the same number of Chill casts. The manual druid had Chill recast intervals of 2:18, 2:08, 1:55, 1:49, 2:04, 2:16, and 2:18.

I did not comb through my entire log file to verify. Do you think this is due to the server not syncing with my computer? Is it worth considering adding a small timer onto the recast of Chill?

Appreciate everything you do Sic and CWTN!

hey Chibz, thanks for your writeup, appreciate the information a lot

unfortunately, this is likely just due to a current confirmed EQ bug (i got someone else to log it, and beta patch notes show they are fixing it (dunno when live/test)

https://forums.daybreakgames.com/eq...dow-showing-incorrect-caster-for-dots.292931/

so if we no longer see that our buff is on the mob, we cast it again.

i'll try and test this solo, because there maybe ANOTHER eq bug, that despite the dot being off, the recourse doesn't apply if the dot is reapplied too soon - that'd be pretty problematic since the whole entire point is "when this fades it does xyz", and the buff faded and no longer has your buff we want to recast it
 
Wow you sure stay on top of things! Thanks for giving my post your attention )
 
Not sure if this has been posted already. Druid does not cast growth on fade in battle. I am pretty sure that shaman will recast growth on fade in battle. Would be nice to for druid to do that same.

we check it the same way we check shaman (tho shaman we check RAMA, which i'll add to druid
 
So druid is casting ward (nature's boon) and sotw on cooldown. Is this intended if they are toggled on?

*edit* only happens in combat but if a mob so much as looks at me bam both are out. light blue rat will set it off
