Here is what I see. He went and pulled the mob back to camp, turned around, and did not engage when it came to the camp. The other toons did not engage as well. They sit there and they are set to assist.

Can you please include the snippet that shows the mobs that ARE in the radius? It is useless to show the mobs that are 3k outside of the radius because clearly they would never be pulled.

ok, what is your campradius

because you are fighting dracoliche and you likely didn't adjust your campradius.

which is in the FAQ specifically.

Q. Sometimes a mob keeps hitting me but i don't engage? Ex. Dracoliches
A. This means you need to make your campradius bigger, as the mob is likely a "large" model mob and is hitting you from outside your campradius.

Please adjust your campradius to something larger, like 80 or 100.


the only reason i know is because of your overlarge screenshot.

Please Please Please read the stuff shared.

I'm going to share with you the "how to ask for help" thing, please read it. you and i have spent a lot of time in PMs trying to get you sorted over the past several weeks/months. Please put in the effort to let people help you help yourself.

he is actually saying that he's not engaging mobs in camp - which wasn't clear in the previous posts about him "I put the SK to puller tank and he does nothing" which is not what was happening, or at least is no longer

Merging this into the MQ2Eskay thread since it is Fear not adjusting his settings appropriately in mq2eskay and not related to dannet, eqbc, mq2nav, nav meshes, or all the other things.
 
Hi Sic,

I've noticed since the latest expansion came out that Visage of Decay never fires on a burn. I know it doesn't stack with Visage of Death but once that spell is done and a burn call is made Visage of Decay never triggers.

Or is Visage of Decay junk now and shouldn't bother with it?

Thanks,

We don't use visage of decay (and haven't ever) - we use death, but not decay, you can still manually use it if/when you want.

It isn't junk, it is just there are reasons why a user might want to manually use it
 
I only updated to the latest version yesterday and after after update, both of my SKs are stuck in a loop casting Aten Ha Ra's Covenant Rk. II at full hp/mana. Won't pull. I've seen them casting a lot of Aten Ha Ra at low mana before, but they can get out of the loop. Now they can standing there for an hour casting this unstop. Any setting I need to do for this to stop? I am looking for a way to stop my SHD to use this spell at all.

Thanks.

Always check the other buffs first, and look to see what conflicts. Block what you don't want, and in the case for SK spells, it is usually the illusion it provides as Hellfyre suggested.

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

As mentioned, you probably have a conflicting buff and the red error message will tell you.
 
Which spell do I need to block to stop my SK from being in skeleton form 24/7?
 
Which spell do I need to block to stop my SK from being in skeleton form 24/7?
not sure if you're asking because you're memorizing and re-casting often, or just hate being a skeleton, but it is in the eskay faq

Q. I spam memorize my mana conversion / skeleton illusion spell and/or cast my unity spell?
A. You probably have auto remove illusion turned on, but don't actually have the illusion from this spell added to your blocked buffs. This will make you want to recast the spell. If you don't want to re-cast the spell to get the illusion, you will want to add it to your blocked buffs. This is typically Icebone Skeletal Form.

EQ Menu -> Character -> Blocked Buffs
EQ Menu -> Character -> Blocked Pet Buffs (to add to anyone's pet blocked spells)
or /blockspell add me 9492

/blockspell add me id


these are some others:

9492
9493
9491
9494


since you don't have that blocked, i'd suggest checking the FAQ for other items you should block, especially on your pet

INI:
/blockspell add me 16443 6892 6894 49288 0425 9491 9492 30738 30739 21684 30708 20873 9494 323

Voice of Perception is a superior to Aten Ha Ra's Covenant, but this chanter buff causes the plugin to chain cast Aten Ha Ra. I see past recommendation (work around?) was to block the superior chanter buff. Is there a solution in the works that will allow the better buff and recast Aten Ha Ra when it fades?

Thanks

you can block what you don't want, if you change what you don't want, you'd block that.

you could make an LEM or react to do something like add/remove blocked buff if you have a chanter/chanterbuff or otherwise, but other than that, no.


also please make sure to check the sticky, there are other parts of this that are explained. this is answered every few days in the eskay thread, which is why it is in the FAQ

The chain casting is because it's also looking for the illusion that comes with covenant. If you look up a few posts I believe you'll see where it was said to block that skeleton form buff and the chain casting will stop while you have the Chanter buff and he'll recast covenant when you lose it.
 
Anyway to control when / what aa that are used on raids?
Only by role/mode, burn settings, and any toggle options.

You've been using the plugins for a very long time, surprised you don't know.

Can you be more specific and say what it is you're actually asking about/for?

Then that means you're burning, adjust your burn count, burnalways/burnallnamed - because we only use them during burns. which is part of the settings to when you are burning.

if you don't want to ever burn - /shd burnalways off /shd burnallnamed off /shd burncount 99 then you would only burn with a /shd burnnow

Thank you I try that
 
Yes, the update message directly above your post fixes that issue. Once RG has been patched it will be available for you to pick up that fix. In the mean time, please be patient as we get fixes out.
 
Q. Epic 1.5/2.0?
A. The 1.5/2.0 are automagically used as part of the combat checks. It checks against your health for "uh oh" usage, and in the tier'd burns for burn usage. No need to add it to anything - unless you want it to be used as an "any time its up" then you would want to add it to combat/burn - just keep in mind you will lose its functionality as part of the tier'd defensive routine and "uh oh" bit if you use it on cooldown.
I'm confused, it says used in tier'd burns, but also says we need to add it to burns? I was in assist mode on raid tonight and noticed it wasn't fireing and I had to manually use it with burn all and burn named on.

Nope. It says "no need to add it to anything".

You only do tank stuff if you are in a tank mode or assigned group main tank. Check the overview page flow chart. So if you're in assist mode, and not group main tank, you're not going to do defensive burn routine.

gotcha, I still like to use epic for group accuracy bonus during offensive burns, How would I add that?
 
thx, never used the burn option before, forgot about that.
Np...usually takes a minute to figure out for each class which clickies are /downtime and /offensive and /burn...
Once you figure it out once...comes in handy to write it all down for alts/bots...then you can just copy your ui
Pro-Tip: Restless Focus and/or Dragonmagic Focus potions are a /downtime must for caster classes (Shd/Necro/Magician/Enc, etc...)
Pro-Tip 2: If you're grouped with a rogue use poisons (Spider's Bite XIX, XX, or XXI) on all your melee chars instead
 
not sure if this is known issue, Aten Ha Ra's covenant Rk. II was chain casting and not landing I see it doesn't stack with Enc voice of perspection? Any reason plugin doesnt' check for that? or am i missing something more subtle.

In the FAQ:

Q. I appear to be chain casting Azia/Beza - or the buffs that azia/beza cast like covenant line - mana conversion?
A. Do you have any enchanter buffs on you? you likely have an issue that MacroQuest is reporting to mq2eskay that, despite having voice of sagacity, that you still need covenant. You should decide which one you want and add the other one to your blocked buffs.

There are a few of these buffs that eq/mq2 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

Make sure you understand that if you block the covenant part, you need to block the skelly illusion part as well, since that is part of that spell.

the sticky thread is going to give you a solid foundation of "where should i check" for various things, including pointing towards various commands tabs and/or FAQ

I'm having an issue today I've never noticed before. I'm running in Sic Tank mode. Bard double invised. I'll either /nav spawn xxx or I'll mouse click on the map to nav to a spot. When I get there my SK decides to buff himself dropping invis and getting agro. (Edit, just happened in manual mode also, I /nav spawn to a quest turn in. When I got to him he buffed himself dropping invis.
