Plugin - MQ2Druid 3.1.52471.11

[eye]

Loving the plugin.

Found something in missing spells feature in portal. I ran the missing spells feature. It's great; however, it identifies the cobolt scar II portals as cobolt scar I portals. For example ring of cobalt scar II as a level 39 spell. I just rolled a level 100 character and it has all spells 100 and below. I have the cobalt scar I spells. Basically, it is giving cobalt scar II spells as the same as the cobalt scar I. Great otherwise.

I don't know whether it makes any difference but this was a persona character.

hrm, the data seems correct here. the cobaltscar (shortname) are 39, 42, 44 - and the cobaltscartwo are 113, 114, 114 - so there might be a logic error in the reporting

can you show me your snip so i know what you're talking about?

logic error in the reporting

yeah i found it - it is just reporting the wrong spell level

Love the MQ2Druid as well as all the other plugins - have a quick question and not sure if it was already answered here but I couldn't find what I was looking for so figured id just ask...
Is there a way for me to tell the plugin that I only want the druid to DoT from 100% mob health to lets say 80% mob health, plus whatever else needs to run like wrath of the wild maybe or group heal etc... and then only after the mobs below 80% health, start nuking? That way I know itll get the DoT's done long before the mobs at 30% health and its too late to get any good DPS from the druids DoT's, and that the mana usage will be a bit more efficient?

Thank you!

Hiya Seariz

You can stop Dots from being cast under 80% health here- Dothp 80 would be your friend. You can also stop casting dots by adjusting your dotmanamin setting.

The nukes, heals, etc also will fire once the mob is below your autoassistat percentage until the levels you indicate on left side of the plugin settings.

Hey hoping for some insight on how to better manage this issue.

I have encountered multiple instances of infinite loops due to nonstacking buffs or classes simply buffing that really "shouldn't" and I don't see a way to edit this behavior.

Some examples..

Ranger buffing skin when a druid is present
Knight receiving skin and blocking aego line (if I buff block the skin then the buffer never gets a bounce message and tries forever)
mage and druid fighting over mage self buff and druid skin. These both overwrite each other and cause infinite looping.
Paladin overwriting cleric aego with his own.

So far all I can figure to do is BYOS to hard lock this behavior.

 

[RGTorv]

From the CWTN Druid FAQ among others:

Q. I appear to be chain casting Skin / Group Skin - or some other spell?
A. There are a few of these buffs that eq/mq reports stack that do not or will chain overwrite other buffs and you get into a buffing contest with another toon. You either have this situation or some other issues. I would suggest checking for the red error text that eq gives you to tell you WHY it didn't successfully take hold and then go from there. You can block anything you don't want cast. This is a built-in EverQuest feature - right-click on the buff and "add this spell to list of blocked spells" or go through the eq menu -> character -> blocked buffs

EQ Menu -> Character -> Blocked Buffs
EQ Menu -> Character -> Blocked Pet Buffs (to add to anyone's pet blocked spells)

/blockspell add me id
/blockspell add pet id

You can also turn off using skin / group skin with /dru useskin off

Q. I don't want the plugin to cast xyz buff on a toon.
A. Any buff you don't want cast upon someone, you would just have that character add it to their blocked buffs.

EQ Menu -> Character -> Blocked Buffs
EQ Menu -> Character -> Blocked Pet Buffs (to add to anyone's pet blocked spells)

/blockspell add me id
/blockspell add pet id

I think your best bet is to block the spells you do not want to land on each of your characters. EQ reports these as stacking which causes the plugins to exhibit the behavior you describe, but if you block one of the spells it will not attempt to cast that spell on the target.

Ty will mess with it again could have swore last time I tried buff blocking it freaked out and I assumed it was because since it never got a "did not take hold" message it kept trying may have been mixing some signals there though.

I know this is a broader question than a single plugin, but it is more useful posting in a specifc plugin with specific examples

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.

you can see the "how to ask for help" in our sticky
Please see >>> Getting Started with CWTN plugins! (Movement, UI Window, Clickies, Pulling, ETC) Check Here First! <<<

as mentioned the correct approach is by blocking anything that isn't wanted on the toon that you don't want to have it. and understanding how that works.

you can also do things like turn off what stuff is used depending on the plugin - which again is why it is important to be specific, and post specific things in the specific area that it pertains to.

if you are using a clr/pal with a druid - turn on usesymbol on the clr/pal which skips usage of aego line so it can stack with the druid skin line, etc.

if you block druid skin on everyone you don't want it on, mq2druid will not cast it on them.

etc

 

[darkstardruid]

Tried blocking it and this is the behavior I am seeing. Target is the same character over and over.




For clarity Ideal situation is skin goes on 4/6 and Mage does his own buff and PLD does his own aego.

 

[ESF]

Just tossing this out there but I think you have to block all the ranks of those spells. Not sure if that is rk2 blocked or not from the picture.

Did not know that diff ranks were separate.. ffs Devs

well, some ranks of spells are different (for stacking and what they actually cast ---- there are a lot of spells that actually cast rank 2 even if you only have rank 1 and are silver, for example), so > we < cwtn/sic are looking for the buff being blocked specifically, and not just including all ranks

Hey man. Really enjoying the plugin.
One request. Is there anyway to get it to cast the heal that you have memmed? It was using Ancient Cholorbron just fine and then when my druid hit 75 it wouldnt heal at all until I memmed Pure Life.
Thank you for taking time to read my comment.

Byos only uses the spells we say it does.
Is this a "I want to use some other spell cause of some special case bp for ancient" spell?

Yeah pretty much. Its not a huge deal just caught me by surprise when my tank was getting smooshed and the druid just looked at him lol. Took me a few trials and errors to figure out why she wasnt casting heals.

 

[darkstardruid]

Seeing this behavior repeatedly. Casting on the same character (a ranger) over and over. Nothing is blocked and is repeatedly overwriting itself. Nothing else is being cast by anyone throughout this. Once I turned off skin started spamming STR. Eventually went BYOS and didnt let any buffs on bar.

believe it or not, pictures the size of billboards aren't super useful :p

did you check out the FAQ and understand what you should do if/when you meet an issue with spell stacking?

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

We talked about this a couple weeks ago.

skin doesn't stack with aego line of stuff - you should do the equivalent of "use symbol" if you want to combine with druid skin

re: mammoths - atk buffs are notoriously bad for stacking problems

if you have Blessing of the Timbercore rk. II blocked - we will not try and cast it for the person that has it blocked
If you have Mammoths Force Rk. II - we will not try and cast it for the person that has it blocked

but block them on the toons you don't want them on, and then we don't cast them.

This is a fresh toon nothing blocked. The character (ranger) is receiving the buffs. and then getting them again. And again. I'd like the ranger buffed. but not over and over again. Nothing else is occurring they arent buff battling.

you should check the ranger for what is happening on the ranger, we wouldn't be rebuffing over and over.

are they getting any red eq error messages?
what buffs do they have active on them?
is the ranger casting anything? (i suspect this is likely and they're in a buffing competition, so yeah, this can and will happen)

When i watched the ranger the buff was constantly refreshing my first assumption was that the buffs were bouncing for some reason or the ranger was removing the buffs for some reason but that didn't appear to be the case. This seems to come up more consistently I'll try to collect some more data on it next time I'm on and notice it happening.

So to test got rk 3 from another druid. Does not seem to care keeps trying. Ranger is currently inactive entirely. Druid is getting not take hold messages and just keeps going.

When I click rk 3 so druid's own skin can land.. makes no difference continues to spam group skin (only 2 in group)

Ranger's current buffs

you appear to be in the guild hall.

and if you see here you have some buffs showing that you no longer actually have



which makes me wonder if you are bugged.

either way, eq/mq interaction has some conflicts sometimes, especially around the spells i mentioned, the druid faq has some information on how to determine how to approach that, and that would be your best course of action - we already check for stacking and you're missing the buff on all buffs we cast, some just report that they stack when they don't

I recently got this plug in I was a hard case and never really been super into leveling or grinding a casual player really, I know there is a lot to learn but the Plugins I have gotten make it where I can do content that my home brewed KA couldn't handle. I finally have hope to get leveled up past 111.

that's great dude!

don't rush to 120/125 - make sure you have ~75% of your AAs before you go up a level tier - things like your focus AAs aren't linear

I'm having an issue where I can't get my druid to cast Arboreal Absolution Rk II on a caster group.

Class: Druid
Level: 90
Era: TLP House of Thule
Mode: Chase
Loadout: Heal
BYOS/BYOSCustom: True
Spell name: Arboreal Absolution Rk. II

Across multiple hours in Assist and Chase modes, all in Heal loadout, Druid has not cast Arboreal Absolution a single time. Not sure what I'm doing wrong. To make sure, I made sure to hit burn conditions and no casts.

It is not blocked on anyone and when I manually cast it lands in song buff window just fine without overwriting the other buffs of spell procs. It is in the class plugin's info window as Arboreal as well.

Any advice on what I'm probably missing? It seems like a pretty nice buff for my caster group for now but I know there is a pretty big gap until the next one? 120?

Arboreal we only check if if we have it memorized (because only byos/byos-custom usable), and we check that we have a caster in the group that needs the buff --- which *should* include yourself. we do this pretty early in our routine, and only when you have mobs on xtarget.

I'll check if the 90 and 120 one are different and confirm it working / otherwise

Hi, all. I have a question about Boxhud and the MQ2Druid plugin. I have the other plugins, and they work with Boxhud when it comes to getting their CWTN.Paused and CWTN.Mode TLOs. However, i never see it show up for my druid.

I'm curious if anyone has dealt with this, or if I'm doing something wrong.

If you echo the TLO what does it show? If the echo works the Boxhud thread might be the better place to go for support. I don't recall any issues with my druid.

You should edit your boxhud. I'm betting you have it skipping druids this is the mq2druid thread tho not boxhud

 

[8928736487]

If anyone searches for help on this in the future, the CWTN properties in boxhud don't default to including DRU in the class list. It isn't a problem with MQ2Druid's TLOs or anything.

you could not burn if you don't want to use burn abilities --- but what do you mean get stuck?

if you mean the illusion you should consider blocking illusions you don't want. you don't need the wolf form from GSotGW at all

a good example why the default answer to "can i have a toggle" is no :p

imagine lowering your dps when you can just not deal with annoying illusions

my hotkey guide has some "new toon" buttons i always use, which includes blocking a bunch of illusions
