Hello,
Just downloaded this plugin and my SK is nonstop trying to cast Deathly Temptation. I have used /blockspell add me 2892 and it continues to try and cast. I have looked and it is in my blocked spell list. any ideas or suggestions?

Lots of good info.
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.

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.
yep, like durango posted, check the FAQ because im going to guess you skipped the part of blocking the icebone skeleton
TerroJolt line? you can byos them and it will use them
there are only a few things that we treat like that - terrorjolts happen to be one of them
I am reporting a bug on the test server. With both the SK and Shaman plugs the character continues to tries to buff if that buff is blocked by a higher level spell. I am sure it is happening with the other plugins as well. I have not see this bug on the live servers. This might be related to the new patch on Test.

you sound like you're asking about the cwtn class plugins
you also didn't say what spell or provide much to help you with.

Please make sure to post in the correct location and provide information so folks can help you.
please say what buffs.

I have a high-level SHD/SHM combo and have seen nothing using CWTN plugins on Test. However, I have not updated to the latest RG Test Release this morning as I was already logged in. Can you elaborate on which spells exactly?

This may not be a CWTN issue, I've been seeing stacking issues on my low level group in the last few days (low level group is only a few days old). My mid level group (low 90's) does not seem to have the issue.
Running KA.
I posted here, does this look similar?
Aquietone suggested this as a test to isolate:

/echo ${Spell[Low_Level_Spell].StacksWith[Higher_Level_Spell]}I had a very high level cleric, shaman, Enchanter, and Beastlord buff my Shadow Knight in the guild lobby by the throne. This is what caused the problem. My SK is level 100. I noticed that he would try to cast his skeleton form buff over and over and one of the high level buffs was blocking it. This was also the first time I went to the Guild lobby to get buffs. However it is very common on the test server where people offer to buff everyone. What I will do is the next time someone offers, I will get buff and get you screenshots. Also if you have some logging mechanism I am very willing to help you get that information as well. I want to help because you guys have a great product and I appreciate all the work that you do.
give the link i shared a click. and check out the FAQ for mq2eskay
you need to block the skeleton illusion and not just the forum buff - it is in giant colored letters. this isn't a difference in test vs live

which spell. Its probably your mana regen spell and its being blocked by another mana regen spell.
When you have loops, it generally means that some spell is blocking it. a buff or something that it doesnt like. For instance, paladins try to cast brells on themselves and it will be blocked if you have shout or spiritual lines

if you are using mq2eskay, go read the FAQ, it literally answers this question, and also gives example on how to fix it, its not hard, even if english is not your first language, even i can figure it out, and like 79% dumb like a door
that would be a waste sadly as shown by the posts... no one would read it
Sorry you feel that way.
No one is questioning anyone's intelligence.
Folks also aren't required to give you anything. You are not the "customer" of most folks here. Most people are just members like you.
Please always give enough information for people to help you.
Post in the correct location and provide what utility you are using
You are asking an mq2eskay question but didn't say so.
The cwtn plugins have a robust section with discussion threads, faq, commands, a video guide on how to find information, and information and vids on all sorts of things - even a "how to ask for help".
Sometimes there is brevity in my responses, because if I don't get to the response first, 50 answers happen that end up being all over because the question is missing the basics.
Please see >>> Getting Started with CWTN plugins! (Movement, UI Window, Clickies, Pulling, ETC) Check Here First! <<<
That link has the "how to ask for help" which is a good thing to think about for any automation or utility.
- try and post in the correct location
- let folks know what automation
- let folks know specifically what is happening vs what you expect
-- this includes spells
- let folks know if/what you tried.
-- good example: "I read the FAQ and I blocked the mana Regen but it is still happening" response would be "you also have to block the illusion part which is mentioned, did you do that?
-- bad example: "yes, sichole I read the FAQ so don't even ask, I'm the customer"

> from the How To Ask For Help sticky <
If you want help with CWTN Plugins, make sure that you provide enough information for us to help you.
If you're using the EMU build and don't say that you're using the EMU build, then don't expect EMU related answer.
If you use vague information such as "My chanter chain casts" but don't say what is being chain cast, then expect that when we do respond we're just going to ask what is being chain cast. We can't read your mind.
Try to provide as much information about the issue as possible. "I'm chain casting "XYZ", only during combat. It only happens when I'm assigned Main assist. If I duck and spin in 3 circles it doesn't do it anymore etc.
Things to do before posting your issue:
- Read the posts before yours in the thread. If you ask a question that was answered in the response above your own question, I'm probably just going to link you to the answer directly above your question.
- Please make sure to post in the discussion threads if you are posting about a specific class/plugin.
- Read the stickied threads. If you ask a question that is in a sticky thread I'm probably just going to link you to the sticked thread.
- Check out the commands tab of plugin overviews. If you ask a question about a command that it's in the commands list, probably just going to link you to the commands list.
- Check the FAQ tab. If you ask a question that's covered in Frequently Asked Questions. We're going to link you to that because it's asked so frequently that we've made it a point to document it there.
- Check for any red message from EQ as to why xyz is/isn't happening. This is INCREDIBLY useful in tracking down an issue. We're not magicians or mind readers, unfortunately.
- There is an entire guide created so you can find the information you need/want and in the order recommended to view them in > Getting Started With CWTN Plugins <
- If you think something is being cast or used that is something we say we don't use, please provide a screensnip of the CWTN class plugin output showing it is using the ability.
-- if it is not in that window then it is very very very unlikely it is a CWTN class plugin doing it
--- this might mean an mq2react, an mq2posse, an mq2say reaction, there are dozens of different things that might be doing something.
- If you are asking about a specific spell - tell us the specific spell, and use the name and level.
We want to help, and we go through a lot of trouble to make all the information available to users in multiple formats (text and videos in most cases). When you get a response that is just a link, it's perceived by some that we're being "rude".
It's not meant to be rude, it's meant to direct you to the information you seek. Just because we don't type the answer out every time doesn't mean we're not responding with the information that answers your question. It's just not a personalized response.
Not being personalized doesn't mean we don't appreciate each and every user who decides to purchase a plugin, it just means we have other things we're doing such as working on new plugins for you to use and if we spend all day typing out every response we'll have no time left to get anything done. We do make every effort to correct any issues that are found with the plugins as soon as we're notified and can identify the cause of any such issues.
Unfortunately, there is a trend where a substantial amount of time will be spent trying to help someone, who ends up getting nasty and insulting with me or Sic in PMs,. We are just 2 people and we take a personal interest in personally handling any and all issues we can. It gets very frustrating being insulted or having our time wasted by not being met "halfway". So please help us help you. Keep the insults for someone else. It is pretty sad this has to be included here.

ChatWithThisName updated MQ2Eskay with a new update entry:

Read the rest of this update entry...

At the risk of making it seem like I didn't read the FAQ, I ran into a minor glitch today.
For some reason I previously set up my Phantasmal Luclinite Belt of Vigor as a downtime clicky. Might have had something to do with the issue they were having with it casting a duration buff instead of the AA, which was fixed in the patch.
After the update, the plugin started spamming the belt to get Shadow of Expanding Mind. This happens even though I have the buff (when not added to the blocked buffs) and also when I block the buff. But blocking the buff does not seem to be working, as when the belt is used the buff shows up in my buff box. Seems like something got messed up in EQ with the buff reporting.
I just removed it from the clicky list, so its not really a problem, but I thought I would mention it.
Update: Seems that these 'permanent' AA buffs can no longer be added to the blocked spells list (it removes the buff, but not showing in blocked spells), so that may be the root of the problem here. Hope EQ fixes this.

None of those items give the buff they say they do, so you do not want to add something like that to addclicky.

Sic is correct, they actually unlock special AAs assuming you haven't got them yet. It's safe to manually click each item of this type one time and remove the "shadow of" buffs.

Need some assistance. My 86 SK is chain casting Venril's Covenant. I ran into this with an SK on my other account and the blockspell add me 9492 fixed the issue. Something is not working on this account. I also added the other spell id (9491, 9492, 9493, & 9494) and it sill tries to chain cast Venril's covenant. I looked at the list of blocked spells on my other account (Where the fix worked) and there is only 1 spell blocked (icebone skeletal form). On the account with the chain casting there are 4 spells listed in the blocked buffs. Running MQ2Eskay. autoremoveillusion is not checked. The error message says blocked by voice of perception.
Any help is appreciated.

I just removed the voice of perception for now. I had the 4 spells blocked that are listed in the FAQ. (9491, 9492, 9493, & 9494) But it was still chain casting it .
because those are the illusion spells like the faq mentions.
the part talking about enchanters and mana conversion is a diff question than the part about the illusion
if you want covenant - block vop, if you want vop, you have to block covenant
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.

Sic when I block the 4 spells listed in the FAQ ( (9491, 9492, 9493, & 9494) doesn't that block covenant? I went into character block buff and added venril's covenant, but that didn't fix the problem. Then I went in and added the four spells by id number and that also didn't fix the chain casting issue. I'll just remove the enchanters buff until I can figure this out. The fix in the FAQ isn't working. It did on another account's SK, not sure what is going on here.
No. Those are illusions. Those are not covenant.
I said that in the response above.
The fix is to block the covenant spell specifically that your toon has that you don't want. Or block vop

I also did that in addition to the numbers, I used the function in the game (block character buff) and typed the name of spell Venril's Covenant. *shrug* That was the first thing I tried. I'll keep working on it.
Did you block the actual spell, the actual rank? If you have rank 2, you need to unblock anything else, and block that spell specifically
Or you can block the specific enchanter cop spell you don't want
