Question - Mq2melee - shield sunder

[Dozecar]

Is there a way to add shield sunder to mq2melee? Searched the forums and didnt see it mentioned.

 

[MrPatate]

Dunno if it s possible, but yeah, could be interesting to have it in MQ2Melee. Actually using it in kiss.

 

[Dozecar]

I haven't figured out how to use kiss for my tank yet. I play my tank full time, pull, tank, scout, etc, so I only would want it for very minimal duty. Also when I did try running it once, it told me I couldn't assist myself.

If it's not a default toggle in MQ2melee, you can make the plugin do it via a holy.

I run Slander/Shield Break (110 RoS warrior) in my KA ini this way. So they try not to overlap the defensive procs, but mash them as available.

DPS10=Shield Break|100|Mash|Cond9
DPS11=Slander|100|Mash|Cond9

Cond9=!${Me.Song[Slander Recourse].ID} && !${Me.Buff[Bracing Stance].ID}

I'll have to read up on how to create holy. The two I have for summoning arrows and aura, I just copy pasta'd. And the aura one is annoying because if I'm battle rezzed, it tries to cast while I'm trying to reestablish aggro on the mob lol. And Because I move around while doing this, it causes the aura to fail, so it tries to recast it. I need to just get rezzed and not move until the aura is finished, but I'm not good at patience.

I'd like to try using KA on the tank to automate some things and possibly ditch mq2melee, but haven;t taken the time to find an ini that assumes the warrior will mostly be manually played, and as I said before, KA fails because I can't assist myself, I know i read, i think in the KA thread, the command for starting it on the tank, but i stupidly didn't copy it to my hey try this stuff out text file.

Holy's are like conditions for KA. Holy's fire any time MQ2Melee is loaded (combat/downtime/moving) and Downs only fire when you're out of combat. So for holy's you want to make sure you're not going to fire an ability on a quest npc or vendor.

Format is this and they go in your server_name.in in the Release folder:

holyshit#=/if (condition) /command (can be any eq or mq2 command)

So something like this that checks if you have an npc target that is between 1-99 health to make sure it's a exp mob:

holyshit3=/if (${Me.CombatAbilityReady[Shield Sunder]} && ${Target.PctHPs}>1 && ${Target.PctHPs}<99 && ${Target.Type.Equal[NPC]}) /disc Shield Sunder

When you edit them, you'll need to unload and reload MQ2Melee.

/plugin mq2melee unload

/plugin mq2melee

Thanks a million man. I've been pretty good at manually mashing it, but I forget a lot especially when I'm trying to watch other things. I noticed during end of empire I was mission a lot of other normal todo stuff because I was so focused on trying to make sure things were going right lol. I was completely forgetting to do this, and the mini rune it puts on the group every 12 seconds is useful.

 

[Dozecar]

Like this?

holyflag1=on
downflag1=on
downflag2=on
holyshit1=/if (${Me.CombatAbilityReady[Shield Sunder]} && ${Target.PctHPs}>1 && ${Target.PctHPs}<99 && ${Target.Type.Equal[NPC]}) /disc Shield Sunder
downshit1=/if (${Spell[Champion's Aura].Stacks[0]} && !${Me.Aura[Champion's Aura].ID} && !${Me.Moving} && !${Me.Invis}) /doability "Champion's Aura"
downshit2=/if (${FindItemCount[Ethereal Arrow]} < 1 && !${Me.Invis} && !${Me.Moving}) /casting "Huntsman's Ethereal Quiver"

Yeah that looks right, but I didn't get to test it myself. If it's not firing when you play, let us know and I'll try to trouble shoot it on my warrior.

Regarding your aura refresh, add this in and it won't try to refresh during combat: ${Me.CombatState.NotEqual[COMBAT]}
edit: Oh I see it's a down, so it shouldn't fire once you're in combat anyways.

As far as more manual control, KA's manual mode does work well. You just turn off the ini sections you don't want it to run. So if you turn off DPS/Burn, you will do most stuff yourself but it will rebuff out of combat and try to auto use any Heals you have setup.

If you want even more manual control, deathlock has his own 100% target & movement control mod of KA (11 or eqmule's version.)

 

[Dozecar]

It's only a problem on battle rez, because I'm out of combat when I first get rezzed so it immediately tries to cast, I mash taunt and other aggro stuff while targeting the mob and moving to it, but since i'm casting the aura it ignores all that, but because I moved, it interrupted casting, and since all my mashes were ignored due to "casting" i'm still out of combat so it tries to cast again.

Like I said, i just need patience. Let it cast and be done. However there is a problem where it will spam it because I am out of endurance. Fortunately that rarely happens now. Usually the only rez I need is divine, I don't die often much.

 

[eqtrader74]

Ahh, you could add something that looks for the rez effects buff then.

 

[Dozecar]

Tried it out today, nothing's happening lol.

Is it because I have rk ²?

Just wanted to update Doze's snippet for players looking for a solution at level 120:

[MQ2Melee]
holyflag1=1
holyshit1=/if (${Me.CombatAbilityReady[Shield Splinter Rk. III]} && ${Target.PctHPs}>1 && ${Target.PctHPs}<99 && ${Target.Type.Equal[NPC]}) /disc Shield Splinter Rk. III

tested and seems to be working great.
