it is trying to chain cast it because your pet is out of range and i'm guessing it doesn't take hold if your pet is that far away, making the aa able to be used, so we would try and click it - this is what i was saying.

Temporarily block CF on your pet for that particular raid? you can keep your pet then
that isn't going to resolve this particular issue.
I added that i'll include a distance check for this particular ability (this doesn't mean there aren't more abilities that this is going to happen with.

Feature request: mob.id as optional second parameter for: /mag SwitchWithMA true/false/on/off/0/1
Use cases:
- create a hotbutton to off tank unmezzable mob (adds on pull)
- create a hotbutton to kill add(s) first, for events where adds needs to be killed before the boss can be killed
/mag SwitchWithMA 0 mob.id - - will tell the mage to command his pet to off tank and focus on add until its dead and then he switches back as he has been before
Would be useful for any real pet-class

No sorry, we have no plans on anything like that at this time. Use an ma to select target, and have the mage have them as their ma. You can utilize the 3 raidma to switch your ma if you are in raidmode.
If you need them to do their own thing, have them in a tank mode so they pick their own target and such.

I have run Shei Vinitras 2 times since the update on 11-16 and both times my mage spammed "Focus of Arcanum VI" 110+ times. I cannot say if this is just for Shei or normal behavior since this is all I have done since the patch.
I have included my config and the parse of the spell casting order from these missions. Any ideas?

you'll have to check if you had some stacking issue, or something interrupting you.
your log and your ini doesn't give anything useful, unfortunately (so im deleting them). (there is a sticky post about how to request help that gives you an idea of what things are useful to provide)
if somehow/somereason you had a stacking issue with the focus, you'd likely have a red eq error message saying it wouldn't take hold and why
focus aas are something we don't usually check for stacking, so in this instance my *gut* says that you have too many buffs --- if you have like 10+ "Shadow of ____" buffs, you'd do yourself a favor unclicking all of those since they don't actually give you anything

This is from my EQ logs .
You begin casting Focus of Arcanum VI.
[Fri Nov 18 09:21:12 2022] Your Focus of Arcanum VI spell did not take hold.
[Fri Nov 18 09:21:12 2022] Your ability failed. Timer has been reset.
So I am to assume from the Bolded part, some buff or Aura has blocked it from taking hold? If so I just need to remove that buff Aura and I will be good?

well again, my guess is you are probably buff capped, and need to get rid of some fluff buffs that aren't doing anything

Thank for your help. I didn't think I was buff capped but I will definitely remove some and try again when my Shei Timer allows it. I don't have any shadow buffs for sure. I always removed them instantly after I click the item.

When I use my Mage to farm tinkering components, I put him on Hunter Tank and he does exactly what he is supposed to do. However, I have him set up to med at 5% and end at 25% mana, but he completely overlooks that and continues pulling until he is OOM. Does Hunter Tank mode respect the Pulling settings?
It definitely does, I'll take a look.

Just want to start by saying thanks for all the work you guys do btw! So I run 3 120 mages max aa etc. and I have been using this plugin for a while now, I am noticing lately they are chain casting roiling servant non-stop, i know it procs the synergy but I feel like its being wasted and hurting my dps, guess my question is, its all or nothing correct ? there is no way to moderate how often something is casted ? I would love to see more nukes thrown out of them. otherwise it works great - I just feel my dps is down a bit they are fluctuating between 200k sdps to 350k in a 40-60 second fight.

might want to post a screen snip of your settings and the output that shows it casting RS repeatedly. My mage regularly topped 1M dps on a 1 min burn like that.
yes, if you have useswarmpets turned on we're going to use swarm pets.
your ofmany line does more dmg the more swarm pets you have
it is working as intended
a 19 second reuse spell and "chain casting" there is a bit of a disconnect there

ok thank you for the quick response, so there is no way I can make them cast more DD spells during a fight? i would love to see them chain casting
they cast their order and priority on what we've determined is the best thing to do, so no, there is no way for you to change that.
based on a whole bunch of parses and personal usage, we're *very* happy with the dps the plugin puts out
Here is a longer fight (this mage isn't max aa, and is missing a ton of stuff like clickies or aug proc, no jann veil, no mount, etc)
@durango773 has some of his mages doing 3m in a 101s fight
hearing 200-300 dps makes me wonder if a: your parsing is wrong/missing, or b: you're neglecting your toons with things like bard/chanter, proc items etc
re: mana, I would suggest deciding if alliance is right for you or not - alliance burn only is a good solution to that problem

I would audit/watch them through a couple fights. Your parser is off, your settings are wrong, or your missing the right focus's. My pets do 250-300k alone @120 max/max. In a group fight (I run them 2x, 2x then with ADPS support), mine are steady at 800k+ each. On burns/raid encounters they can peak at over 3m for first couple min, then settle in at 1.5-2m (with proper support).

I appreciate the input guess i will check out parser and make sure everything is turned on. But on burns they do great, just seems when nothing is running its a little light. I have them in crafted ToL fully auged ect. I am running them with a ench right now normally have a bard which helps alot. I suppose I could drop the 3rd for something else, I was thinking with 3 be better for coalitions. ** edit, i am running them on the stock settings that is loads in window to.

You can get coalition to proc off 2, if your lucky, but alot of the time isnt worth the work. They are inefficient and mostly meant for raids. Id recommend a bst or nec for the 3rd spot. Both provided ADPS (the bst more so).

ok thanks, I will reroll that 3rd one I just started playing around with casters, have some more to learn! but I appreciate the advice from you both!

Longer answer, bst provide mana regen (para, focus para (can be kept up 100% with all AA's)), atk buffs (x2), mana/hp regen buff, CE buffs, disempowering, combat procs (for the mage pets) and support the "shock of" line with pets.
PS if your looking for all caster, go with necro. pets, debuffs, mana tap, and synergy is money for casters. They just take 30 seconds to start hitting hard.

whats your opinion on between a bard and enchanter , I recently pulled bard out and been workin on ench hoping to not have a massive dps loss. He isn't max aa yet but it is nice having the CC, but I have taken a sustained dps loss, trying to figure out if its worth it..

Not the place for this talk, but for general use, I prefer bard. Enchanters do amazing at CC and rune casting (pair them with a war and watch the war take no dmg). However, ADPS wise, always done better with a bard (even in caster groups).
check your min mana to nuke setting, i think mine was default set to 60
i dropped mine to 10 and set up the endless mana mac and he averages about 1.1mil for an entime session now

@turnip thanks man that actually fixed my problem, Sustained average is up to 800-900, guess they slowing down at 60 mana? I will have to look into the endless mana mac, I haven't heard of that. Thanks again for help!
well nukemanamin is "what is the minimum mana you want to keep and not nuke if you are at or below this value".
so if you have 55% mana, and you have your nukemanamin value set to 60, then yup, not doing to nuke
now the fact that swarmies aren't respecting your dotmanamin is a bug and i'm going to update that.
it would have been significantly more useful to say when asked about the "chain casting" what i mean by chain casting is it isn't casting anything else in between.
Please make sure to take a look at the sticky thread which has a "how to ask for help", that information might help you help cwtn and I better help you out in the future. because what the issue ended up being is *exactly* what each of us were talking about.

No. Classes without a usepet toggle command are going to.
If you don't want a mage pet, prolly not the right automation - or don't have components on you.
For enchanter we're either going to have a charm pet or a summon pet - again don't have components if you don't want us to summon them, but no option
