Plugin - MQ2Eskay (1 Viewer) 3.1.52471.11

actually i think i may have resolved the issue. ive made my camp radius bigger. im just hoping this doesnt lead to new issues =/
Yup, adjusting your camp radius is correct - you won't fight the mob until its in your camp, so if the mob is large enough to be hitting you from outside your camp, you're going to stand there and get nommed on - for that camp specifically i usually use a very large campradius like 80 or 100 and don't have any issues after that
 
Hey, is it normal for the Eskay plugin to repeat casting my conversion? I hit the "Auto Remove Illusion" button, but then the SK just spams the buff to re-apply the illusion.

yes.

if you don't want the illusion you need to block it - otherwise the plugin will look for both the illusion and the effect from the spell. our check for when you're missing stuff will check triggerd effects as well - but if a portion of one of those is blocked, it would skip that particular triggered effect
 
My mq2eskay is having a LoS problem when pulling around a corner. He doesn't quite seem to be going far enough for LoS.
 
This question is prompted by the performance of using Assist and RaidMode on my SK, but I thought I should make sure I have a good understanding for any toon.

In the specific case that is encouraging me to ask, SK gets a tell from the raid MT asking me to not steal agro. I had the obvious agro options turned off (no Hates Attraction or Voice of Thule). The straightforward answer would be the MT wasn't doing their job. Perhaps, though this was a raid-geared toon sought after as a tank vs my group-geared toon. Is there a sure-fire way of putting a toon into dps mode and not perform any direct agro actions (outside of the agro generated by doing the dps, of course)?

Unfortunatley, I didn't do any screen captures at the moment so I can't say for certain what behaviors the SK was using. Is there a log of the Plugin Output window somewhere?
 
often times it's harm touch causing your threat to jump suddenly. We have this happen lots of times on raids even when no mq2 macros or plugins are involved.
 
You will probably pop explosion and stream when AoECount is met, irrespective of the mode.

check to see if your aggro generating buttons are on cool down. If they are, it’s not because someone else pressed them. You or your program did.

this iis answered in the FAQ. If you are NOT MainTank in your group window and NOT in a tanking mode - you won't do any of the threat type tanking abilities.

Q. How do I make it not taunt?
A. You will use your tanking type stuff (including taunt) if you are in a tank mode (like 4, 5, 7, or 8), or you are assigned as Main Tank in your group window assignment. If you don't want to do tanking stuff (like taunt) put yourself in a non-tank mode (like 0 manual, 1 assist, etc) and don't be assigned as main tank in your group window. This will allow you to on-the-fly swap to doing tank stuff and non-tank stuff (like if you are off-tanking and need to swap with another tank). You can just quickly adjust your mode, or group assignment.
 
No one knows?
I'm assuming you're asking about the UI thing?

You should watch the UI video that explains it > HERE <

tl;dr you need to move the window to the location, shape, and size you want, then close the window and then /shd show to reopen it and now it is saved in that location.
 
Any way to add a petshrink clicky? having SK reload tiny companion every time chanter renews NDT is getting a bit annoying, usually cause it happens is i run off to pull

I have a Curious Companion Compactor - sure many others would have something like it too

you can add a metamorph totem (not the sporali one tho) to downtime clickies and it will apply it to your pet which might be useful - but nah, no pet shrink clickies at this time.

I don't use pet shrink on the SK, I allow my bst or shaman to do it - this is one of the reasons why i didn't originally add petshrink to mq2eskay. If you don't want him to use the pet shrink spell, you can toggle off the use of pet shrink /shd petshrink off
 
I just noticed this and didnt see anyone post regarding it. 57 SK on TLP in Velious uses Word of Spirit constantly, and turing off AOE does not turn it off.

that's because this is the insidious line. if you turn on useinsidious, you are using it an aoe threat ability and its just matching that spawns in range of the spell match your number of xtargets, and that your number of x targets is greater than or equal to your aoecount. for the aoe threat abilities we don't care that useaoe is on - because you've already chosen that you want useindisious line - the insidious line is the only damaging aoe that we ignore the useaoe because you have specifically turned its usage on.
 
Did something change with Puller tank? Just today my SK will run out tag a mob and then just stand there and does not return to the group. Even then, if I force him back to the group the mob follows and the SK just stands there getting beat on without doing anything unless I change him to tank mode.

nope, no changes there.

I'd double check that you aren't ending off-mesh somehow
 
On Rizlona, My SK was casting Shroud of Death previously which is what I want her to do. I added Icebone Skeletal Form to my blocked buffs and I have AutoRemoveIllusion checked (when I don't have it blocked and check the AutoRemoveIllusion she just casts the spell over and over again). Now instead of buffing with Shroud of Undeath, she casts the lower-level version vampiric embrace. What do I need to do to get her to successfully cast Shroud of Undeath and leave off the Icebone Skeletal Form illusion component?
 
I will

I will have to check later this afternoon, when im back at keys, but we dont cast a lower lvl of anything if u have something blocked. We cast and check to cast against the spells the plugin says you have when it loads, with exception to byos lifetaps, darkness, and st jolt.

@The_Klaw
yeah so Shroud of Undeath (55) / Vampiric embrace (22) (and scream of death (37) in the middle). When you load the plugin it should show that is wants to use shroud of undeath. it wouldn't cast/use/memorize vampiric embrace unless that was the highest one available for that HealthProcTap line

now looking at this spell specifically - i need to flag this spell to be checked differently (it has to do with what/where in the spell the spell is and the trigger is) - and its not a problem at higher lvls, so just this spell in particular because it has the skelly in slot 2 where every other one is in slot 1. it is also unusual in the fact that this spell is the only one in this spell line that has the illusion. ALSO Shroud of Undeath is just Shroud of Death with the illusion - kinda silly they made both (and made undeath backwards).

tl;dr - I'll have this pushed for next update. In the meantime - unfortunately, no way to block the skeleton form and have it still cast it until then.

Thanks, Sic! And, thank you for taking time to look into this. I appreciate the explanation. I'll keep it loaded for now and overwrite Vampiric Embrace as needed. /salute

yeah its pretty stupid really. this is the only spell in the line that has the illusion, AND the illusion is in the wrong slot from where it usually is - so it needs an extra param in our buff check #ThanksDBG
 
SK has suddenly stopped auto attacking when mobs enter camp (sic tank) or when they are pulled into camp (pullertank), I have to manually hit melee attack to get things started. I've updated meshes, changed zones, reinstalled MQ2, reinstalled Eskay and tried logging in and out.

Any ideas how I could fix this?
 
That fixed it, thanks! Somehow the top two targets were set to empty, switched them back to auto and my SK took off like a champ. Thanks again.

out of curiosity - were your other slots all full? we intend to just require AN xtarget that'll get populated, and not required to have specific slots set to anything
 
In my experience with the exception of the buffing classes if you put anything on any of your extended target window other than auto, you are just asking for issues.

Other than the top two empty slots, all remaining slots were set to auto and nothing was in them.
thanks for the info - definitely unintended, and we should have a fix coming
 
The SK 1.0 grants the wielder the ability to "Bash" while fighting. Could the plugin be made to account for this and mash the Bash button if the char is wielding Innoruuk's Curse? It's a nice little bump to DPS for SKs who aren't Ogres/Trolls.
