What Greg said TB.

To TinyBubbles: Your SK will do that in manual mode, unless there is something I'm misunderstanding about your question (likely) Like you said, put the others in chase and have at it with your SK in manual.

or sic tank .... like I said you have options the only real way to be effective is to really understand what each mode does and does not do and chose the right one for each situation

Hello,
I play on test. I use MQ2class for 5 party members and Kissassist for the bard.

I'm aug hunting for the SK. I've got a named that can spawn in multiple spots and I am running from PH to PH. I've tried a few different things, but I seem to be failing at trying to do this effectively. And I ass-u-me there is an actual way to do it I can figure out.
I mark the SK as MT/MA. I want to run from PH to PH, target the PH, hit mellee attack, and have MQ2ESKAY do the fighting.
What mode do I put the SK in so I can move him about manually and run from PH to PH and then do the fighting?
The other 5 toons (I assume) I'd put them in mode 2 (chaseassist) so that they follow the SK around and then attack whatever the SK attacks.
The Kissassist bard I would change the ini from mode assist to mode chase.

Any guidance appreciated.
Respectfully

the "how i move my toons" and the eskay (a d war) vid go over this stuff, don't skip it

Having issues where puller tank is not pulling mobs that are clearly available to be pulled. Even ones close to me. They aren't on ignore and they're within radius. He just sits and says waiting for valid mobs to pull and runs to one way further when it spawns.

would guess you didn't adjust your zradius

if you check the FAQ it shows you also how to debug pulling to see why y ou're skipping a mob you think you should be pulling

I figured it out. It was Z radius for sure. I tried to delete my comment after I figured it out. Thanks!
 
FYI. I'm now getting the red error that says to report to you guys about an eq bug. I have neither 'just kronoed or heroiced' on this character. I got it after latest update I think. Purity of Death and Dark Lord's Unity (Azia) is not a valid AA error. Relogged and got it again.

If it isn't misspelled - which those aren't - it is an eq bug as the message says.

Thanks, but the ability is correct.
 
Had that pop up once also. Right around the same time I was clicking item buffs for the first time attributed it to that as I have never noticed it before on any of the 3 skis I’m leveling atm. 115. 110. And 100. Atm
 
Love the plugin and it's kicking ass. I've been scouring the documentation, ran a bunch of searches here on forum, looked everywhere but I can't find the answer.. I'm trying to see if there is a way to have the plugin use the single target instant cast aggro spell line (ie Terror of Discord) during fights. It uses the AOE (Dread Gaze) perfectly on cooldown when there are 2 plus mobs! I would just love to have to use the single target one, even just once on initial start of fight before it tries to do a dot/snare/anything would be an insane aggro control difference. Using it on cooldown like taunt when in tank mode would be the dream.

I don't play live servers (only TLPs) so I have zero clue if the single target isntant aggro line is even a thing and that's why it's not used. For the life of me I can't see how to make the plugin use it.

Thanks!

Hi Firewire, thanks for the nice words.

It is used. We use any of the single-target jolt spells if we're not the target of our target (and tanking). we're not going to spam it, unfortunately - and don't plan on making that change. in fact, we get many requests to also *only* use taunt when aggro is lost, but we don't plan on doing that either =p

the regular jolt (not power jolt or aoe jolt) spells are one of the few spells that we'll actually use any of them you have memorized, and not just the one that the plugin says it uses. so if you byos'd and memorized a lower level regular "jolt" you would still use it.

hope that helps
 
What lifetap % do you normally run in a group situation ? I had left mine at 100% but he really drains mana quickly. If you have healers, do you drop your lifetap % down dramatically or maybe just 70 or 80% area?

100

I'd only really suggest lowering it if you are: lower level, b: you are byos and you want to ensure dots fire, change to 99

did you read the faq about mana stuff?

in current game, with appropriate gear/aa/group you'll never have mana problems, ever.

i have. I think one of the biggest issues might be that im using Azia instead of Beza. Ill also tinker around with the dotmanamin and turn torrent off and see how much it helps.
 
Understood and that's good to know! I wonder if I'm doing something wrong then. Is there a config option to use those single target jolt spells that I might not have enabled? I can 100% for certain say, I've never had a situation where the plugin has used them while i've been in tank mode.

Interesting, that's good information. Is there a toggle or something in order for it to use? I did some more testing and can confidently say with my current setup, the only time the SK will use the single target jolt is in mode 5 for initial tags. I did a long run of mode 4 with wiz, ranger, and monk set very aggressively and they routinely pulling aggro off the SK virtually every fight. The SK was in byos custom with terror of discord up and it was never used looking at the spell count logs. Dread gaze AOE was used on cooldown with 2+ mobs in camp like clockwork which is the all-star of the show anyways. Overall it's not a big deal because the SK gets aggro back quickly and when the group isn't tuned as aggressively this is never an issue to begin with. I'm not sure if it matters but the entire group is lvl 70 which is max currently on our TLP.

Again thanks for all you do, these are awesome plugins.

Well if there is a similarly easy place I will. Group is only 111. After auto grant they were cutting through GMM mobs though.
 
Hi guys,
Is there a way to store the configuration ? each time i log in the parameters are set to default (same for cleric and shaman).
Another thing, even tho i checked UseDotSnare my sk does it like 1 out of 40.
Level 28 SK.
Crew is : sk bard zk zk clerc shm

Yes. Check the FAQ

Decide which one you want and block the other.

Skipping the stuff in the sticky (like knowing about the FAQ, commands, etc) is going to lower your enjoyment.

Like not knowing there are spells you want to block on your pet for all around eq goodness.

There might be a new bug with the latest version. It doesn't seem to listen to the blocked buffs, even though it's blocking the addition. I created a GIF showing that its trying to cast and failing from voice of perception, then adding Venril's Covenant to blocked buffs and it keeps trying (no message though because it never applies due to being blocked. I've been this level for weeks, and today is the first time this loop has started happening.

mod edit - i read/watched what you posted, but deleted it since there were character names in it.

i'd double check you don't have another automation doing it - you didn't show the mq2eskay window casting, just the eq window. kiss, rgmercs, muleassist, a conflicting Lua, etc. - if it is in the mq2eskay window you can just say that it is (i'll believe you if you say so, don't need proof)

We havent made any changes to that functionality recently, so i suspect that it is something else, either you got rank 2 but are blocking rank 1, or some other automation

i deleted your gif since it had your bard's name in it (at least)

make sure that the venril's you're blocking is the version that you cast, as we look specifically at that (if you cast rank 2, block rank 2) - yes, EQ does the "you're already blocking xyz from this line" but we're not using the eq function on purpose.
 
I'll keep digging. It's definitely the plugin doing the casting (noticed it when I came back from a bathroom break and there were 15 of them). I have tried blocking via name, and through the slash command with ID. I also tried blocking the other ranks too, but it still kept trying. I just noticed there is another new version from today after my current install, so I am logging out of EQ now to see if that update (or the relog itself?) fixes anything.

there is nothing in that build that is different.

you would block the rank / version that you cast - blocking anything else would not apply.

if you cast rank 2, you block the rank 2

In this case it appears that we still look for the "Sebilisian Form", and coincidentally the FAQ says to still block the illusion portion of the spell. :p

I'll add it - so thanks for finding it

saying it was fine and now isn't is definitely curious - but i bet if you additionally blocked the form, or wait until next update, it'll be fixed

🙇‍♂️ yeah, I always forget that I need to keep going back to the FAQ as I get new spells.... I will try blocking the illusion instead. Still doesn't explain what changed today, but maybe I was just getting lucky before with buff slots or something.
I bring up so many of these false things... I feel like I should start coding under you as repayment.. there aren't enough thanks for the work you do

well in your defense, we added a bunch of the illusions so we specifically wouldn't have to keep addressing this issue - but i missed one, sorry about that =p
 
My SK is also crashing within 5 minutes of starting pulls. This was not happening on the previous version. App just closes, no error no fuss, just gone.

How do I migrate back to the previous release?
 
GM @Sic and @ChatWithThisName , getting MQ2ESKAY game drops randomly this morning after latest update. No crash message, it just closes the window. Tried disabling Posse and MQ2autoloot to see if those were the culprits but it's still happening. Specifically it's happening when I activate /shd mode 5 and /shd mode 8. Happening in FTP boxes, Silver, and Prestige ... if that's helpful in any way. All toons are 115. Two separate machines, same issue

yep posts about it in the mq2war thread too

fix is incoming.

I going to assume based on the limited info that you're talking about settings in the UI? Use the slash commands to change those settings. Clicking in the UI toggles them.

you're answering a question that was already answered 2-3 weeks ago. and going to "bump" the thread in a way that folks don't see that the current crash has a pending fix once the build server rebuilds
 
if i type /shd showsettings my sk crashes immediatly. i have for sure the latest version, because i do start rg launcher and update everything before i start eq (live server)

That isn't a command. It shouldn't crash you, but it isn't a command. I'll look at it
