Is there away to threshold lifetaps? Seems its wasting mana using them soon as I get hit... would be more beneficial with a lower threshold. Toggling it off is fine and works, but then can think of several scenarios that would be Oops! wish i had it on for that pull.

nope, if we're in combat we're going to lifetap. never know when you're about to get hit with something big.

at lower level we check it later in the routine than we do at higher level due to cast time and casting benefits so we have time to do other spells.

but no, no threshold. we're fighting we're doing fighting stuff. you can turn off uselifetap if, for some reason, you don't want to lifetap.

Well that would be why I said the Oops! I understand it all well enough. presently SK going oom after 2-3 pulls is only reason I ask on this... Against a Boss yes, I can see why the threshold being so high, but on the grinds and farming its too much down time if constantly casting lifetaps every single fight. Just something to think about, adding a threshold rather than toggle. as Never know when thagt unexpected Name going to get pulled.

Maybe adding lifetaps to burn routine if toggled off would work? just thinking...

no, sorry like i said. no - we have no plans on doing that at this time.
 
Ouch! was only meaning as a suggestion for a future update maybe. I just never used the LTs that soon or often and playing on TLPs.. sorry to of suggested.
It's no worries, you asked. I answered, you asked again, so I answered again. :p

I understand tlp mana issues, we just don't plan on making that change for various reasons.

Have a good one draknocht.

Btw that is German for "dark night" right? Guess I could google

yes, but its Old German, think current translation it should be Draknicht for dark night

LT turned off is working just fine for what I am doing at moment as been mostly non-stop pulling and DT not been result of SK being oom. real test will be when get the Randomed Named pulled.
 
I did a search of this thread for Impertinent and Cadcane but didn't see what I was wondering about. I notice Cadcane's Carapace discipline gets used over Impertinent Influence. Both of mine are Rk. II. I'm not saying one is better than the other, I actually don't understand why Impertinent was added with CoV since it appears to be very similar to Cadcane's and they share a timer. Am I missing something between the two discs?

Impertinent has a higher hit counter. Depending on scenario it can be more useful.

we use carapace.

re: cov - the majority of the spells they added for cov appear to be stuff they either forgot to update with tov or specifically waited to update until tov - many abilities/spells for classes were things that most folks don't use. doesn't specifically mean anything special or not special about the ability

I was using kissassist before I purchased these plugins and I dont know I must be doing something wrong because I suck worse now then before with using kissassist. My sk wont pull agro off my other characters I have to manually target other mob to taunt mob off my other characters. I know I wasnt setting chase mod on my team solved that problem. Yes I have ma set for my sk. I used the hunter one and my sk just sat down. My bst and shm will only buff themselves. How to I fine tune my setup to actually work?

did you watch the videos and check out the FAQ and the information about the plugins? because you should start there.

if you put your tank in huntertank mode and it sat down 10/10 probably means you didn't set up your pull settings. You can always do a /shd debugpull on once and it will spit out a bunch of information into your mq2 window of mobs and why it didn't pull them - i suspect you didn't set up any pull settings so that's probably why.

You should watch these in this order

> CWTN UI Overview/Info <
> MQ2Eskay Overview <
> Moving your team around <

each of the plugins have a resource with a commands tab and a FAQ as well

it sounds like before you went in huntertank mode you were not in a tank mode and/or didn't have your sk assigned as main tank in your group window.

This is from the mq2eskay overview page.

I watched the eskay video I will look at the other two videos. I set my sk as main tank and puller using the window by my name.

well earlier you said MA - you definitely want it set to MA as that is what your toons will assist when in an assisting mode - the main assist.
the part about being added as main tank in the window is more about the chart above about "when do i do tanking stuff" - either in a tanking mode or assigned as tank in the group window.

keep in mind, we also do not target around to mobs we're not currently fighting automatically - if you want to switch targets you can do so as we don't target lock you. So if you get an add, it is your aoe threat stuff that is going to keep aggro on those mobs (and those things don't break mez). if for some reason you're running without mez and you don't quite have your aoe threat tools yet - you're going to want to swap targets around if the mob you're fighting starts hitting someone you don't want them to get hit by.

you can have your assist toons with switchwithma on and they will follow your target swaps - or you can leave it turned off and they will stay on the original mob
 
On Riz, Is there a way (besides using BYOS) to get my SK to not use Terror of Death (increases hate by 1)?
if you're in a position to do tanking stuff (in a tanking mode or assigned as group main tank) and your target is targetting someone else - you're going to use your jolt ability.

If you're asking because you're not wanting to do tanking stuff - you can take a look at this chart that is in the overview that explains when you do tanking stuff like taunt and jolt and other tank things.

Has any one had a problem with eskay where anything you do with it in the eskay window does 3 keystrokes? go to type in radius and it types "333" "222" delete and left click doing the same as well?

hrm - never heard anything like that, and there's nothing in the code that would do anything like that as far as I'm aware (and the window stuff is all part of the library so all of the plugins would have that issue - are you sure you're not lagging or have sticky number keys?

If you continue to have that kind of issues, I would suggest just changing anything with the respective slash command

/shd radius 300 etc
 
Ive put him in tank mode and changed over to the monk running mq2monk for pulling which has no problem. Just clicking the tabs in eskay window now lag me idk but the /commands work just fine with out lag/freezing

double check that your mq2autoclaim isn't lagging you - you can check this by opening your marketplace window
 
Its definitely not mq2autoclaim wasn't using that. Nothing else in my ui is acting the same i can change values in my map and type in chat just fine. Clicking and moving the eskay window acts normal but clicking the tab or any checkbox i get a .5 second screen freeze. mq2cleric rog and monk are working just fine on other windows too. i haven't messed with any new plugins recently either
 
Also i have been using Eskay the longest i think so this is new and very random
yeah unsure how to address your issue. the window is part of the library that is shared across all the plugins.

I would suggest maybe giving your pc a restart and relogging your character in and see if it clears up.
 
Request :) Can you add an option to use a defensive disc when pulling if the target is a named ? Some of these COV named have roots, snares, etc and maybe using a defensive disc before pulling it might help if purity of death doesnt cure the root/snare.
 
Could the UseVoiceOfThule toggle be updated to cast the spell if the AA is unavailable?
no.

it used to, but the long recast (9m) on it makes it absolutely unusable to memorize and buff yourself with unless you want to wait 9 minutes to do anything while you wait on the gem to become ready.

tl;dr - used to did, no longer does, 10/10 will not be putting it back.

I will add it back that if you have it memorized (like byos) that you do use it

no, im sorry. We do not plan on doing this.

many of the regular ToV/CoV mobs do this as well.

if you plan on pulling stuff that are going to root and snare you - you should probably bring the fight to them a defensive isn't going to make you any less rooted or snared.

No but it might make you survive the root/snare duration without dieing :rolleyes: but ok ill find another way to do it

Not being a smartass but using a defensive prepull on any named is a smart idea root or otherwise. When you're doing missions do you just run into the dragon and start fight or do you hit your defensive disc before aggroing it ?

I forget to click defensives all the time on my sk at least until I see myself spiking that badly. Most pulls named or not are handled with thwart or shield flash until the rest of the group does their jobs.

Pet pull works well on Morweena Undertow

no i don't - i click stuff when i need to click stuff. so if you think you need to click something, the plugin doesn't prevent you from doing so.
 
I'm having issues with the Morweena Undertow area. My tank in Hunter Tank isn't seeing them at different levels. Even with high and low z set at 1000. I must be missing something. The mobs are within the pull radius.
 
Hello everyone,

I' ve downloaded MQ2Eskay (plus shm, bst and berz). It's really fun but i m having some issues. First my SK doesn't stick to his target like he was doing with KA (i've tested with and without the stick option, nothing). Second how do i get the DPSMeter i m seeing in Sic videos ? Third is it possible for my shamy to stop using pact of the wolf, or even better not putting everyone in werewolf form ? Another thing, is it normal that my SK is constantly memorizing spells, sitting even when i m pulling (I m in manual mode). Thanks.
