I have a new Level 100 heroic SK that will not stop casting Falhoteps's Convenent on himself. What can I do to make him stop MQ2Necro is what I have running and he is real full of himself right now. What to do What to do?? Never had this issue before today and I have played this toon using CWTN Plugins and he is really driving me nuts. :confused:

well first please post in the correct location.

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

secondly, please see the mq2eskay 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.


tl;dr - it is one of those reasons mentioned above

Sorry, I seem to always pick the wrong place it seems. Just thought of it as a general question but I understand. I forgot to say that it conflicts with Voice of Perception ...but once it realizes that it is not going to stack, why will it not stop casting. The Cleric buff is way higher and gives more benefit but my Level 100 SK seems to disagree!!! It is not that big of a deal to be honest at this level, but I have no issues with my 120 SK using the Cleric HP buff along with Covenant! Well, I went to just remove the buff it says it will not stack with ...and I have symbol on my toon and Persistence

RedMan updated MQ2Eskay with a new update entry:

1/13/2023

- Corrected issue that wouldn't use tier'd defensives if you were not using a shield.
-- this is because of us checking for deflection availability.
-- huge oversight that has existed in paladin for a few months, and eskay for, like ever.
-- shoutout to bmck1986 for bringing this up

Not sure if this is an issue or not, but seen the update for - Corrected issue that wouldn't use tier'd defensives if you were not using a shield

If you have a prestige 2HS weapon in main hand and (obviously)no shield and not Gold. Spams Bash.

Nothing there was changed.

We do warn you if your shield is prestige and you can't use it, but we're not really going to nurse all of your stuff, but I'll add a check for weapon too I guess.

Should make sure you're using appropriate stuff imo :p

I just got my 120 NOS spells, and the plugin does not watch Ignominous Influence. Is a previous option better, or do we not want to use that spell?

we don't use the influence line. it is a timer 11 spell, you can tell what spells/lines the plugins uses when it loads up, influence line is not listed.
 
aha! the timer. I didn't consider that. I can see the Carapace is what we use. Thank you Sic

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.

Thank you for your service! You should totally play a cleric that rides a flying carpet...lol
 
Whenever I zone, my shaman briefly memorizes Swift Like Wind in slot 6 and then immediately replaces it with Fervent Growth again. Is it a bug? Everyone in group is 120.

This is mq2eskay, not mq2shaman thread.

I answered you on discord.

No doesn't sound like a bug. Turn off use haste if you don't want to use haste. I suspect it is a pet not getting buff applied to it by eq quickly enough after zoning.

But if you have use haste turned on, we're going to use haste.
 
Are there any checks for added items to see if their effects with overwrite each other ie. Anguish BP for lifesteal vs "Spectral Aura" buff from new Spiritdrinker's Coating? (Anguish BP will overwrite Spiritdrinker's etc if both are added as clickies)

we check for stacking. if something says it stacks and you're missing it, we're going to use it.

sometimes you can navigate around some of eq's shit by the order you have it in your clickies - but if eq says it stacks and we're missing it, and we're told to use it - we're going to try and do that
 
hey i know ur sick of dumb questions but i looked at command list and FaQ and i see /shd usevoiceofthule off and stuff but when i try that with exploison of hatred i cant seem to get it off says unvalid command and im in ToFs right now trying to get it turned off so i stop aggroing the other rooms

What really does bother me is people telling me how I feel, about something I haven't said :p plenty of us don't get something the first time around, or miss something - and that is not a problem or a bother. The forums, this thread, and this site exist for things like that to occur. You let me know the things you tried and the places you checked, so you are "meeting me half way" so thank you for that. totally ok

You can't just Willy Nilly a random command - not everything has a command, most things don't.

Up your aoe count if you don't want to use your aoe aggro abilities. (Now keep in mind, we actually do check mobs in range before using it to make sure you have that many on xtarget. But increase your aoe count if you don't want to use them. ToFS is notorious for being able to aggro mobs across the zone - mobs you're not actually even near. Also take care bard abilities, case they can and will pull other floors too lol)

The commands tab shows you available commands, which you mentioned.

The UI/setting vid also explains all that information, make sure to check it out.

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

Good luck

Any suggestions on how to keep pulling when snared?

I am trying to farm in Sepulcher of Order , and I am constantly snared by the AE in the area.

no, we intentionally don't pull while snared, and you can't turn that off, you're likely to die upon pulling while snared which is why we don't. We even try and save our self cure from firing on movement stuff unless we're no longer fighting to try and lower the downtime.

I'd suggest huntertanking and having everyone else chasing you , hopefully helping increase kill rate, and lowering downtime
 
No problem.

I was solo, 120, and using huntertank, but would only engage once aggro'd. Tried increasing camp radius, but same thing.

Used PocketFarm, and that worked.
 
I am not sure why, but my SHD is not playing nice with my BRD. When I had him grouped with the chanter, he wouldn't break mez, but now I keep seeing messages of him breaking mez. He is not using AOE, and I checked the buffs and can't see anything that would be doing this. Any thoughts? I am sure is something dumb I am overlooking

you are probably using chaotic again. and the enchanter is going to chaotic on the main mob you're fighting, which would result in a broken mez message.
 
I am not grouped with the chanter, though. I replaced her with my bard

is your bard mezzing the mob you're fighting, including aoe mez?

if the mob you're fighting is getting mezzed, it is going to get broken from fighting it.
 
From what I can see the bard is mezing the adds with slumber, not the mob I am attacking. I was fighting a named, for example, and I kept getting messages I was breaking mez on the trash mobs and the message that the bard was trying to mez them again

"from what i can see" doesn't answer the question.

and if kiss detects *any* broken mez, it will remez everything.

but that is kiss and this is mq2eskay.

if you have useaoe turned off, there's nothing that im aware of that will break mez on mobs you're not on - and i use shd/bard combo every day
 
Sic said:

Hmm, maybe that is what's happening. The bard starts with wave which mezes everything, then the SK wakes up the mezed mob and the bard rinse and repeat.
 
Looking to try the class based plugins, starting MQ2eskay (i think thats the name) ....is it level dependent...ie can i run it with say a 110 SK and it use the best spells i have available?

As Kaen stated, 1-120. Additionally, they work so well together across the classes, you will question why you never picked them up sooner.
 
thanks for the quick responses..gonna start with the SK and go from there, once i figure out my primary group.....i got 3 accounts, have had them all since 99/00. Didnt do a good job on choosing what classes on what account, and they are all in the 100's...so its test time :)
 
You can also copy your EQ directory to a new folder, then load up MQ Test and /testcopy your toon(s) to use the cwtn plugins free there.
 
Is there a way to auto equip shield/1H when SK pulls named? Am I just missing that setting somewhere? OR is it not possible yet?
