MQ2Eskay

Plugin - MQ2Eskay (1 Viewer) 3.1.52471.11

Level 34 now, but have had disarm for skill for several levels. I don't recall at what lvl it opened up, but I was checking my combat abilities to see if anything new had been added and it had. I'm guessing around level 30. Possible earlier.
well i already responded and said why and said it would be fixed next build.

sorry about the issues
 
Feature Request: Feign death when over a certain number during pulling with a field to set that count.
If as part of the logic it snares its target then FDs or something then reset's to camp.

Something along this lines should be possible for FD classes (SHD/BST/MNK,NEC)
 
Having an issue with the remove illusion setting. I have a 110 SK currently and am using the Helot Covenant lich spell which casts Helot Covenant and Icebone skeletal form. It seems as though the plugin's check for the buff is both the illusion and the actual lich buff. When I click on the remove illusion setting, the plugin will just loop the buff cast and remove illusion. Anyway to get the plugin to just check the conversion buff and not the illusion?

for buff spells in particular, you will need to block the illusion if you don't want it - otherwise its going to recast the buff to get it

we don't currently have any plans for something like that, but i'll write it down for something to look at / think about
 
When running the plugin in Mode 5, it'll randomly get stuck with the spell book open while automatically swapping spells. Issue reoccurs randomly, about once an hour. I have to manually close the spell book for the plugin to resume pulling

double check you have your foreground and background fps not set too low, i've noticed this happen when folks have their sk in the bg and their bg fps is set too low

Heh, heh. No worries, Brother. I didn't see your response that you figured it out until after I replied. Much appreciated. Thank you.

I never changed any of the FPS settings from the native install. I am running MQ2EQWire. My Max. FPS was set to Unlimited and my Max Background FPS was set almost to minimum. I changed Max. Background FPS to Unlimited. Hopefully that fixes it

Most folks i talk to get better boxed results having at least 60 fps background rate. (Eqwire doesnt draw the frame, but u still need the background rate set for all your toons otherwise stuff gets skipped)

We also do currently use a timer to kick you out of the spellbook if you're in it and you shouldn't be, but i'm gonna brainstorm with chat a bit and see if we can adjust it a smidge

Not sure if this has been asked but is it possible for the macro to not taunt? Taunting off the main tank in a raid is not ideal.

the plugin will taunt if it is in a tank mode or assigned as main tank in the group window. this is you telling it that it should do tank things. if you don't want it to do tank things, you can not be assigned as tank in your group window and not be in a tanking mode (4, 5, 7, or 8). This allows for quickly changing between doing tank stuff (like a mode 4/7) and not doing tank things, like a mode 0/1/2/3 etc)
 
Would it be possible to add this to the /shd/zerk/etc missing command: Type 3 augments that are optimal max level optimal or for our older abilities that never upgrade?
 
Question for Sic or Chat: (This question doesn't appear to apply to only Eskay) When you set your SK in puller tank or puller mode, it sets your radius and arc. You can definitely modify the size of the radius and arc on the fly, but in order to change the direction of both you have to switch back to manual first. Do you intend to update it so if you enter /shd mode 5 *move direction* then enter /shd mode 5 again that it will update based on where your character moved or direction it faced? You can also see this with Sic mode. If you set Sic mode, move 20 feet say because you're slowly advancing, you have to switch to manual first in order to set a new camp.

As a side note, I don't know if it's possible, but a function to AddtoRadius and SubtractFromRadius and also arc might be helpful.

yes this is intended, you can do a /shd resetcamp like i talk about in the videos to change your camp to a new spot or direction
 
Since my SK hit 115 he isnt using Dissidant Fange or Dire Inditment i know im spelling them wrong but I watch eskay lists and he never caster either of them

reload the plugin - what does it output for those spells? in your spell list?

and actually - that only matters for purposes of memorizing the spell and for gift of mana check --- other than that I actually have a function that specifically handles lifetaps and doesn't care which ones you have memorized
 
Damn that was a quick response lol i logged for the night. i will check tomorrow and let you know. He still kicks ass without them so i wasnt all that worried lol
 
He is using touch of Drendar and It looks like Zlandicar just to keep buff up, just not the inditment and fang
Sounds like the plugin is actually working great - we keep dire Dissi/Dicho for when shit is getting hot and heavy or we have a free cast with gift of mana - the non-dissi/dicho lifetap routine doesn't care what spell it is (other than dissi/dicho - it skips those) it works through your lifetaps that are available at the time

OK, after this past bonus weekend I am finally maxed for XP and AA, so I am looking at the Glyph AA's.

My question is about the "UseGlyph" option for MQ2Eskay (and MQ2Zerker I suppose). What does this option do? The instructions say it will trigger Glyph of Destruction, which doesn't seem optimal for SK, since I'm a tank. Is there an option to use Glyph of Dragon Scales? Or maybe a future enhancement to let us select the glyphs we want to use.

A second question - does it automatically buy the AA's, or do I need to do that manually (I ask, as some of you KA ini's buy the AA automatically, which seems like a great idea).

Does not auto buy the glyph u need to use mq2aaspend.

It uses dragon scales if you are tanking or destruction otherwise.

I did just push an update for glyph specifically because it was ignoring burn and just glyphing 24/7, that'll be updated in next live build
 
Awesome - thanks for the quick reply. Having Glyph's only fire on named would be nice. As a 'someday' option setting a min level might be nice too, for those times when you are just doing a hunter achievement, but can always just turn off the option so no big deal.

yeah glyph adheres to burn logic in other plugins, i just made a mistake - but its patched and pushed, so next build it will be correct.

there will likely not be an option for lvl specificity for glyph (i only say not likely and not never because things change) but burn lvl min and max would make more sense than glyph specific - but at this time we don't intend on doing that - if you don't want to burn click off using burns (and adjust burn count to something very large) - or just click off use glyph like you said
 
Is Zerk Epic 2.0 very useful for dps?
zerk epic? this is the eskay thread - but yes. I go over it in the mq2berzerker vid

if you mean the sk epic - it is a legit AF epic- possibly the best in the game, but its a 5m recast with 1m uptime - so in mq2eskay we save it for an "oh shit" situation or our defensive burn routine
 
"Mode 7 - SicTank Mode --- sets a camp, and does tank stuff, but doesn't return/sit down

I do not see the Shd make a camp when I choose this option? (He will do his tanks stuff etc though)

Could you please share what is the command to tell the SHD to make a camp where he is? He has some bug where when I tell him to start pulling he takes off across the zone to pull something on the far wall - I cannot get him to make a camp THEN Start pulling.

well going from a non-camp mode like 0 to a camp mode like 7 will create a camp, and you will get the output that you just created a camp, but you won't make a new one if you already have one, as in already in a camp mode and just reissue a camp mode

you can do the /shd resetcamp to recreate a camp where you are located

Would there be a way to use pet pulling using MQ2EsKay in "Puller Tank" mode?

this is a kissassist thread - are you asking for pet pulling using kissassist or mq2eskay? because if with mq2eskay, no we don't have pet pulling

(if mq2eskay i'll move the responses)
