Yes. Because they are threat weapons
It is in the FAQ
Also, go to pok and buy deluxe tool boxes (like 1pp each) so you have 10 real bags. You don't need to keep any empty top level slots

searched the post didnt see anything about turn summoned - thought this would attempt to use that AA
maybe i was drinking to much...
could this be added to the named burns - not a bad little AA for summoned mobs
if i missed this explained somewhere else already sorry

Will look this afternoon
What are the chances we could get a toggle for useswarmpet or useservant only on named? Similar to the beastlord toggle to slow only named? On tlp this is the only thing hindering mage, as the servant line is hugely inefficient for trash mobs that die extremely fast. As always, I love all the plugins and will use them anyways, just always looking for ways to eek out the best dps!
Hrm. I'll give it a think, would rather just handle that with intent for lower levels.
No promises but I'll take a look. Thanks for the info and context

Is there a way to see the order/spell list/logic that the mq2mage plugin uses to cast spells? She doesn't seem to be casting a few of the spells in her lineup and her burns don't look right to me. I would like to see what she is supposed to be doing for comparison.

there is no ini for this, mq2mage is designed with a certain routine and burns in mind, you can when you start the plugin see what spells it will use, but in what rotation and burn is not listed in some place.
hi dalalron,
please post mq2mage questions in the mq2mage thread. all of the plugins have discussion threads - there is no need for an entirely new thread.
no, there isn't an order/list/logic available.
make sure to check out the sticky and read the asking for help thing
Please see >>> Getting Started with CWTN plugins! (Movement, UI Window, Clickies, Pulling, ETC) Check Here First! <<<
it would be more useful to ask about what you are asking about specifically - chances are we use whatever, but under certain circumstances or we specifically don't use something --- sometimes some stuff is missing, but that would be unusual

Hello, I have only been using veryvanilla and no other program. So I just purchased MQ2Mage for the first time. I downloaded it, but is there a video on what I do next? How do I get it to load with my redsguides launcher?
Thank you
Thank you

Make sure to let the RG launcher download the plugin and not try and do it manually.
Please make sure to post in the correct location. The sticky in the CWTN section i linked above is where you should start with a suggested watching order.

Sic, I think you just created a monster here. The MQ2Mage worked really well. I'm very pleased. So I also got the shaman and SK ones and will try them out in a few mins... but I have a question about the SK. He is not ready for tanking. How do I have him just execute DPS skills?
Thanks in advance Sic.
Just set him to assist and not have him as the Main Tank or Main Assist ...then make sure you have your Tank set as Main Tank and Assist so the rest of your crew know who they are fighting for.

Check the link and don't skip stuff. There is a flow chart that says when you do tank stuff like taunting
I caved in and picked this up yesterday. I was using kiss before, had sporadic results with the rotations.
I felt the 3 mages even with alliance wasn't quite measuring up to output my F2P melee team had before.
Well, this plugin changed that. The logic in it is great, my alliances line up and the ease of use is awesome. Yea its a bit to learn the new commands and integrate them into my current hotkeys but I 100% would recommend this.
level 110 autogrant mages in conflagrant gear went from 80-120 dps in ToV, needing 4-5 rounds to bring down griklor. To a conistent 170-220k non burn dps with burns that brought down griklor in 2 shots (level 110 autogrant AAs). Its nearly doubled my sustained damage. I'm confident at 115 with AAs ill be 1 shotting Griklor.
Using it in chase mode and doing quests was also very good and easy to use. switching between camp and chase mode gave me no issues. The check boxes gave me the customization I liked especially dealing with damage shields and the choice when to cast Gather.
Worth the 20 bucks, no doubt.

It really is a beauty of a plugin - at 120 and aa capped in group gear, my Mage does a million dps average over the course of a session. I can't do much more than that manually.
"My itc isn't triggering reliably" please give more details and examples
I am not sure how to explain the details, but previously when I burned ITC would trigger along with Heart of Skyfire, Focus Arcanum, and Frenzied Burnout. Spire was usually delayed and I accept that there is background logic to that. Now ITC is delayed or does not trigger at all while burning. Glyphwielder's Tunic is usually delayed also I assume by background logic. But I have only noticed ITC not triggering or being delayed until recently.
Below is a parse from the start of a raid. I am on the left and a second mage is on the right. I manually cast ITC 9 minutes later. The rest of the raids went the same, no ITC with burns.

so when you said "isn't triggering reliably" you mean "itc no longer appears to fire" which are two very different things.
thanks i'll look into it
Firing here as expected
Nothing changed with our ITC usage, other than "normalizing" our "do i have any twincast buff" checks - we're not going to ITC if you have twincast or bifold buff up - and that is checked very high in the rotation - checked multiple times a second. for shits I wanted to see just how frequently that check would go.
This check is "Do I Have Improved Twincast", "Is Improved Twincast Ready", and "Do I NOT Have ANY twincast buffs".
I would also double check you don't have full buffslots - like rolling around with 10-15 "Shadow of ___bullshit" buffs making it so you can't have more buffs. many/most burn AAs we don't check if we're missing the buff from it - because of cooldowns and such. so like silent casting or focus etc --- so if you had full buffs you'd still try and toss it, but for ITC we're checking you don't have any twincast buffs (which in turns checks that you have available buff slot space)

Lots of good advice on things to check on my side, thanks! I did try burning on a guild hall combat dummy it seemed to work correctly. I do not have any of the "Shadow of BS" buffs up, I keep those cleared always. This seems to be a "me" problem. If I can isolate the issue I will post it. Appreciate your looking into it )
SK dies and x3 Mages sit there and do nothing, so what am I doing wrong?
Okay so I have SK, x3 Mages, Shaman and Bard. I been using MQ2EsKay, MQ2Mage and MQ2Shaman along with Sic's Bard .ini.
I only been using this for about a month or so and when the SK dies the Mages do nothing at all, they just sit there and wait for their turn to eat it. No pets attacking, no spells being cast when the 3 of them could of easily killed a lower level mob by themselves if they just used their pets.
So what am I doing wrong? I have PetTauntToggle on (Green) which is supposed to have pet take over if MA dies, but doesn't.
So I assume I am doing something wrong cause having x3 Mages just sit there waiting to die seems like I have something messed up.

because your assist toon is dead.
they don't take over, they just turn on taunt, they'd continue to fight the mob that you're fighting in the hopes it gets rezzed.
melee toons (and hybrid like bst) would continue to fight mobs they're targetting and engaged in melee combat with
caster toons won't unless manual mode with melee or they're in a tanking mode (cause then treat it like they're the tank).
but due to always using MA's target to do stuff to, and backing off if we don't - this is expected
You could swap one (or all) of your mages to a tank mode and group main assist, and then they everyone would now assist that character
this is a limitation to how we (and how we want to) handle assisting and when decide to do actions - it is a trade off on ensuring we're not attacking things we're not intended on attacking
yw - SKs are pretty sustainable toons - surprised to hear "easy enough for mage to kill" but also "sk eating shit all day long" (paraphrase)Hmm okay thanks Sic
anything around those circumstances i we might be able to talk out and see if we can find you a solution?
SK died do to autopull and getting snared and I was not looking so Bard did take over and then died soon after and the Mages where next.
The Mages are all in Manual mode and of course they assist the SK due to SKs MT, MA, Puller role.
This has happened before and I just said oh well, rinse and repeat, but thought I would ask about it and see if I am an Idiot
I wonder if the SK should FD if snared on an autopull like that. If I was watching I would of FDd if to far from group. And yes I would rather not fight mobs that do that using autopull, but others where in the better camp spots.

less ideal with casters, but for places where the sk is going to get snared during pulls and their self cure isn't going to come back up quickly enough, i'd suggest huntertank with the eskay, and the mages in chasemode
check out the sticky - i have a "how i move my toons around" which goes over some pulling stuff - mq2eskay and mq2war vid also do pulling demonstration.
huntertanking with everyone in chase mode is awesome
Yes I did watch a bunch of your Videos and they are great, but being Old I can only absorb so much information at a time hehe.
Friend keeps telling me over and over about stuff in the game that "I told you about that before" :P
I need to go back and watch them again and see what else I can pick up.

oh yeah dude for sure - tons of information.
eq is complicated which understandably makes MQ and all the things available inside mq that way too
We cast single DSGroupCircle on tank classes, and group DSSingle on anyone but they have to be "local toons" on your local pc - but we only use single if it is greater level than group
I’m on a TLP and running multiple mages. Up until this week one mage had better pet weapons so I had him handing them out. My group is somewhat scrubby and pets or they all die a lot so there are a lot of weapons handed out. The weapon mage would keep getting stuck with the weapon bag on his cursor which would pause basically freeze him up.
Not sure if you’ve seen this or if there is a recommendation on bag setup? When I do self pet weapons I don’t have this issue and all the weps & bag get out in my real bags.

Not sure. We don't delete anything (intentionally), but you might make time to delete rage weapons and leftover bags.
1. Can this thing get a toggle for Symbiosis? It doesn't really make sense to use it when running with a Necro, since it's just going to get overwritten by Atrophy. All that winds up happening is the Mage memorizes the spell, casts it real quick (or doesn't cause of mobs in camp), and then has it overwritten in short order by the Necro's cast.
2. Maybe I'm overlooking something, but it doesn't seem like twincast (the spell) gets used when twincast aura is up from Enchanter. Burn Always is on. Burn Named is on. If this is intended, then I have to ask why. It really should cast the spell even when enchanter aura is running, considering I'm pretty sure that the twincast 100% chance is just used while it's running, and then when it's off the aura's chance to twincast takes over.
