So I've set my camp, set the puller to puller/tank (sk is the grp tank) and everyone else on assist. When the sk auto pulls, he runs TO the mobs to fight, he doesn't bring it back to the camp. Sk is set to tank, puller and MA. Any ideas why?
no one knows what automation you're using, and you didn't post in an area that would help say so.
so?

edit:
you appear to own/use mq2eskay - but you didn't post int he mq2eskay thread nor in the cwtn section - I guess i'll move that there now.
what mode are you using, pullertank is mode 5, if you mode 8, you go and fight the mob where it is.
if you are running to and fighting a mob where it is at, I would check if you made your campradius something silly large - even then, you would run to your camp spot and then engage it from the camp spot (center).
Please see >>> Getting Started with CWTN plugins! (Movement, UI Window, Clickies, Pulling, ETC) Check Here First! <<<
campradius or pullradius?
campradius should be something like 60, sometimes up to like 80, campradius shouldn't be 350 (your red circle)
85 is a pretty big camp.
Make sure your assist dudes have a camp large enough that they're going to engage.
If you didn't check out the sticky guide vids, that'll help you out a ton
woot woot
I've been noticing that mq2eskay is trying to cast odious bargain rk3 before it's ready to cast.
I see that the spell gem is on cooldown, then I see my casting bar popup with Odious Bargain "casting" over and over again.
I've been verifying via parse and it only actually casts once.
I'm concerned about it getting in the way of other spells being cast by doing this.
Is anyone else experiencing this?
What information can I provide to help look into this should you folks find it worth looking into?

can you show me your mq2eskay window spamming a spell?
Bargain, like all other abilities we use, we check to see if it is ready --- there have been times where eq servers are desync'd or whatever and mq (and eq) says a gem is ready when it isn't
but we do check if the gem is ready
we don't memorize bargain, so i'm assuming you're byos? I run 2-3 SKs daily and i haven't seen it, curious if it server related with that spell line
what i do see sometimes, is eq/mq says a combat ability is ready, (the button is even available), but pressing it doesn't fire (manually or automation). but not with spells
Thanks for the quick response!
I do use byos and love that the plugin typically uses Odious every time it's off cooldown outside of tank modes.
I would be tickled pink if it used insidious in the same way.
(Currently doing that one manually when I drop MT role and just go dps)
I just made two SK personas so I'm running 3 in a group now.
When I get some more time I'll replicate and take another screenshot.
In this one the first one cast, then it attempted to cast it 4 times afterward
while the spell was still on cooldown (30sec CD). The mob died or it would have continued.
we don't use bargain if we're not tanking (tank mode or assigned group maintank) - and we only use it if our spwans in range match our xtargets and are xtarget is greater than or equal to our aoe count --- so just for clarity, if those are met, then yes we use it "on cooldown" but we don't otherwise
thanks for the screenie (no i don't need another one)
for some reason mq thinks your gem is ready
are you sure that you're not getting interrupted like you're levitating and getting bumped?
Definitely wasn't levitating when I took that pic I'll watch for that on future instances and report back though.
I do run my aoe count at 1 to purposefully force the aoe casts.
With BYOS on and Odious loaded I can be in manual mode, not set as group tank, aoe count at 1 and it will cast Odious. (Please don't change this lol)
Conversely, with the same settings insidious will not be cast by the plugin.
Insidious is twice the amount of threat gen so I figured that was done on purpose.
Odious, even when cast every time it's off cooldown, isn't pulling threat when it's not supposed to.
On top of this I manually cast my insidious on cooldown and still don't pull aggro off anyone with it.
The benefits that I get out of this are the additional dmg/self healing during add phases of raids and remaining high
enough on aggro meter to not pull threat off an assigned tank but if that tank dies the mob jumps to me
instead of a healer or dps. (as it should)
i would double check that.
there is only ONE usage of bargain, and that is under if you are tanking which is either a tanking mode or set as group main tank.
it is intended that way and if it was working otherwise i would 1000% change it, same as taunting and other "tanky" stuff, if somehow this was "broken" then a whole lot of other stuff would be broken.
here is me demonstrating.There must be some setting I overlooked then maybe I wasn't swapped off group MT role like I thought.
Thank you
I am in manual mode, byos with Bargain memorized
i have no group mt ID
then i set myself to main tank, and instantly use bargain
I'm familiar with the FAQ, the video, and the modes, so I'm hoping I'm missing something obvious. I have a very specific use case I haven't found a good workaround for.
125 SK on Live
SK is in a raid but is NOT the group leader and is NOT assigned the main tank role.
Is there anyway to get the SK to use tanking abilities on a non MA target?
Mode 0 doesn't do tanking stuff without tanking roll set
Mode 4 tries to follow the assist
Mode 7 sort of works but selects its own target which can cause unexpected results
I'm assuming this falls under the - Yeah...make yourself MT, cause this is a niche case? But figured I'd ask.

well. since you said you already know all the things i planned on telling you, It is pretty hard to help you :p
you tanking stuff under the following circumstances - A: you are group main tank, or B: in a tanking role. (which you know as you said)
if I was doing what you were doing I would either a: get assigned group maintank, like you said, or b: use sictank (you're not target locked in 4 or 7) with a pretty small campradius - smaller than you usually would --- with switchwithma turned off and just handle your targeting (turning off priority targetting etc)
believe it or not, a lot of people do things like this

I see you set up EQnag Triggers, did you ever get that working 100%. Where is a good place to safely download EQnag. I am stiff using Gina
Hey there! EQnag is great for triggers, I'll post a link to the direct installer for you.
The things I like most about EQnag though are the nice trigger library that is easy to use and separated into different packages
and the discord community is very helpful with trigger problems/creation and so on if you're working on something specific or
not already available.
Here's a link to the installer.
That said, I was also using eqlogparser for my dps parsing (DPS overlay is nice) and I eventually just condensed to the one program
to handle my parsing and triggers, eqlogparser.
At the end of the day it just made more sense to load one program vs two.

I was having issue after using a Lua that reset some stuff and now burns all the time even with it unchecked. Is there a way to reset all options on any of the plugin to the default?
I am going to restart my pc and check, but right now with burn all named and burn all off, but still HT and discs on trash in FF.
thanks.

Unload the plugin, delete your ini, reload plugin.
Really you need to adjust burncount to something like 3 or 5 and turn on "burnallnamed" (not burnalways)

Look at FAQ, list what spells you use to pull. If it is not, wrong mode, bad mesh, or your set to use a bow? (PS it doesnt let you pick pull spell).
FAP says it use Power but my sk is going melee range and pull with melee.
iam not wearing a bow
do i have to reload all mesh?

Do you have Power? is it loaded? if your in BYOS and dont have it loaded, it cant pull with it. Also, depending on zone, you could be having LOS issues (is it one mob, or all mobs your running up to?)
yeah petition of power is loaded and iam not on byos. yes its all mobs, uncia the snowstalker spot. I bought mq2eskay today for the second time. never had this problem before.
ok, iam the king. i mean i got disablepullability on.... i am sorry...

Every so ofton my SK tank will get stuck trying to use an AA ability Called Viscious Bite of Chaos. When this happens he will continuously try to cast, wont attack target and it seems to throw off entire group( which are all using CWTN plugins as well. None can target mobs and I have to wait for pets to dps it down. no toon in my six man group will engage on that mob. Once the mob is dead, it seems to reset and all is well until the next time.
Weird, I know. any idea on this will be great as it can cause a wipe in the wrong places real fast

This will get moved to the MQ2eskay thread, but sounds like lag/bad status reporting from EQ, so MQ (and plugins) try to do what they are programmed and EQ is like no.. yes.. no.. yes.
Could be the mob going below the ZAxis. Try the ZFix Lua on your SK. It may fix your issue.
yeah
definitely sounds like the eq bug - check your red eq output
Hi all,
Is there a way to disable the aa "summon companion?"
Since purchasing the aa it's trying to use it on every mob I engage and takes 1% of my mana per mob. I've searched through the settings the best I could to find a way to disable but haven't see if I could do that.
