Demand is instant cast once maxed and it also slows undead.

Ahh. I never paid attention since I do not have TBL and can't max out that AA. Good incentive to get the new expac!

 

[Fabianz1977]

you need to click your visible layer 3 on, on your map

Ah that did it. Thanks Sic.

[darkfurlord]

Anyone ever run into a problem where your SK constantly casts Concordant Disruption Rk. II - never had an issue until I upgraded to rank II... is it EQ or mq2eskay?

its possible that it is mq2kissbuffs related - did this happen after zoning? if so just click off a buff

I have been running the plugin since ~70 and am now almost 80. The plugin works amazingly well, but the mana usage in these levels seems a bit extreme. I know the plugin is mostly for 85+ and Shadowknights get some good mana tools as we level up, but I honestly thought it would be worth a mention.

definitely worth mentioning, so thanks for the feedback.

are you appropriately equipped and buffed for this lvl or are you just "passing through"? there is a manadotmin so you can adjust the minimum value to use your dots, i'd suggest starting there - but the other stuff like lifetapping and using nukes and such - unfortunately, they're going to use those abilities while fighting


Do you have Mnemonic Retention rank 2? (you should have access to this at 75 - if so, if you have UseTorrent to false, you will use your hpmanatap "Bite" line which will group hp/mana tap - that might be helpful.

Are you missing any abilities /shd missing - you should get Dark Bargain at like 73 or Grim Covenant at 78 - these are your hp conversion lines.

if You UseBeza you will opt to use your ManaProcTap line instead of your HealthProcTap line (even if you don't have the AA, it will use that logic to check for your manaproc tap - unfortunately, SKs have a rather large gap between mental horror at 65 and mental terror at 96

Currently I have full defiant elegant. I have full gold AA's, so I would say I'm as set as any leveler would be. To be honest, I'm still learning, so it may just be the whole "game slows down a bit once you hit 60-75". I just took notice that I started to seriously start to burn 15-20% or more of my mana each fight. The torrent thing and the beza thing sound like they may help. Ill try those guys out. And yeah, I always run my Grim Covenant. I am 90% sure that the settings don't even use dots at 70-80. I have never seen one memorized at least. When I turned off torrent he added Blackwater Bite to the spell list, so that's good.

Edit:
Looks like about 10% per fight (also I should mention when I say fight I'm generally after dark blues)

yeah using bite should help you out a bit, and you're right it shouldn't "out the box" use regular dots EXCEPT Bond line - which dbg recently changed all dots

- Shadowknight - Your Damage over Time spells at or above level 71 have been adjusted so that they no longer stack with themselves, but now do more damage and cost more mana.

This spell change includes the bond line - which is why i added the DotManaMin so you can have a minimum mana value before using bond since it is such a manahog now

and nah don't think this is anything you're doing wrong - I was just curious about the aa/gear/such so we're on the same page.

DBG has done a pretty poor job with some gaps in spell lines as mentioned earlier with the gap in the horror line between 65 and 96

Give the usebeza thing a look and maybe bump your DotManaMin up a little and see if those help

How do you get the window position to save? I move the window where I want which updates the ini file ok, log out. When I log back in the window has reset back to the top left corner.

move it to where you want it
close the window
/shd show to reshow it - eq will now have the window saved

this was our best fix for the nonsense with the bar getting disconnected from the window

Yep that worked, thanks man.

 

[rbertrand]

its telling me that it doesnt exist so the window wont come up

it should also tell you to reload your ui either with a /loadhud default or a /reload

 

[Feudyin]

Need an option to stop everything. In manual mode, use FD but continues to stand up and attempt to cast or engage in fight and mq2melee is off.

well not only is there /shd pause on, if you wanted to pause everything, but you also have the option to toggle off /shd autostandonfeign off - I keep my autostandonfeign turned off for my SK, since i "drive" with him and sometimes need to FD for various reasons

you can check out the commands for the plugin >> HERE <<

mq2melee would be off as the plugin unloads it automatically

no, not at this time - there will lneed to be something seperate so it knows to check your pet for the clicked buff - but its on "the radar"

great! thanks

how do you change the camp location in pullerTank mode ? I could switch mode before the hud was added but now it seems to set the camp loc in that mode to were ever the red circle is when you fist zone in to the area

it sounds like you must be zoning while still in puller tank mode? that isn't really desirable. you should be switching to a mode and getting rid of your camp before going somewhere else.


the hud just duplicates some of the commands. you can literally /shd mode 0 and move to where you want and then do a /shd mode 5 to set your camp at your location.

there is a /shd resetcamp - but this isn't likely going to work for your anyhow, because being in mode 5 is going to try and make you either pull, or chill in camp - if you want to walk/roam around on your own to move to a location you will need to be in something like mode 0 or mode 7 --- mode 7 sets a camp where you set the mode at, but allows you to move around, and you can set a new camp location with /shd resetcamp etc

Sic updated MQ2Eskay with a new update entry:

MQ2Eskay - Video!

Uploaded an overview video for >> MQ2Eskay <<

Read the rest of this update entry...

 

[stig7055]

I wanted to ask if MQ2War, and MQ2Eskay use defensive cooldowns if there is say 3 or more mobs, and on named pulls?

Also, Sic thanks for the video on Eskay, I learned about the reset camp in it, which I was not aware of.

Oh and one more question, how do you get MQ2 plugins to back off? While attempting Griklor my guys stuck to him and just followed him around the building. I need to be able to get them to change to new targets, and I am aware you can set changewithma, but I would still love to know how to get them to back off, for other instances when its needed.

Thank you!

it will use based on either target is named and you have burnallnamed, burning always, burning now, or xtarget is greater than or equal to your burncount

so yes - if you adjust your burncount to 3

Thank you, this is great to hear!

I had a couple more questions that I edited in my last post, you replied before I finished the edit so I will repost them.

1. How do you initiate a backoff command so your guys will stop following a target and stop attacking it?
2. Will the option to set a pulling arc ever be added? This has been very useful in the past to target pulling zones, I'd love it in my MQ2 CWTN plugins.

I can count on one 4th-of-July-firework-destroyed-hand how many times I have used pulling arcs. I usually just post up in the center of where I wanna kill, or off to the a side/corner of a zone, and let it go.

I'm hoping you don't clump everything into a "if I don't use it, we don't need it." category. There are many many features that KA and others have that are extremely useful, even if you don't use them all the time. With pulling arcs I can intentionally avoid pulling from a fort, or ignore specific rooms with too many to pull from, or extend my pull range and still not bother other people by focusing my pulling area.

if you have your toons set to switchwithma they will switch with your ma, so if your ma changes target, or clears it - they will too. which is what i show in the griklor videos

eventually maybe pulling arcs - but not "on deck" atm

Thank you very much! Have a great day!

I did try using switchwithma in the griklor mission, I must have had something not set correctly as it wasn't letting go of the boss, I will try it again.

My griklor 1.0 video i show how switchwithma works - have it turned on on all your cwtn toons, and then when your tank clears their target or targets something else, your cwtn dudes will too

Pulling Arc = Math is hard.

I discussed it briefly with sic about doing pulling using arcs. I've not managed to look into it because I haven't had a desire to math lately. I can agree that it's not something I've ever used and I'm sure that is the case for others as well. But something I learned pretty quickly writing this plugin is that not all people want to do the same thing, or have the same play style and providing options has been a non-stop part of development of all of my plugins.

With that said, a lot of features that were "easy" to add, have already been added or are on deck to be added. If I'm doing pulling arcs I want to create the logic to show the arc on the map the same as I do the circles for radius, camp, pull ability range.

So while it's not immediately planned to be added. Eventually it will get it's day in development. That doesn't mean that it will be prior to release of the current 3 plugins we have in development (Eskay, Bst, Cleric) but might find itself integrated later on down the road. Most of the development time for the latest three has been spent handling buffs, castings, pets, healing, and making windows available to all classes without rewriting the book.

I think its just the PC I'm currently using(it was mid grade 10 years ago), I've got a new one ordered just waiting on it to get here. then I'm fairly sure that my lag / other processing issues will go away, maybe not permanently but should last a whole lot longer then 1-2 hour's.

long as its not a Broke Back Mountain kinda love :giggle: :LOL:

Look into shadow pc service let's me run 12 accounts from one laptop

Thank you for the information CWTN, I appreciate you taking the time to reply. I am 150% thrilled with all of your plugins and that one feature is easily disregarded. I was just asking out of curiosity vs it being something I couldn't live with out, so no biggie and again, you guys are doing an amazing job, thank you so much for your time and efforts on this project.

With the recent update on test the Eskay plug has crashed my SK three times in the span of ten minutes. Anyone else having the same issue?

Hello, thank you both for the plugin and the video!!!!! Is there was a way to toggle pet use on/off?
