Question - MQ2melee shield?

[janktron]

so i just noticed that in the mq2melee wiki it says that you can " Auto-equip defined items for bashing, backstabbing or ranged attack. " So I set up the "poker" for my rogue and it works great. Next I try to set up the "shield" for my Sk and nadda....when I type /melee on my rogue it displays the poker and the ID of it in the MQ2 window along with all the other options i have set. However when i type /melee on my sk, there is no 'shield' in the mq2 window with the rest of the mq2melee options. Has this feature been removed? Or am I missing something?

I added this line to my sk's ini.
shield=9307 (shiny brass shield, since I had one in one of my bags)
and I turned bash on for my sk.

Not sure but if you would have a shield equipped your SK will bash if you have bash set up automatically and later with 2h and aa too.

yea, he bashes fine with a shield equipped. but that's not what i'm getting at. It says in the MQ2melee wiki page that the plugin will auto equip an item for bash/backstab etc. With my rogue it will pull a dagger out of my bag and equip it to backstab. It should be the same with a shield, however it's not. So I'm wondering if the wiki is old and this feature has been removed

What does your SK has equipped at the time you expect the shield to be equipped ?
I assume a 2h ?
if so try have a only a 1h equipped.

Seems like it would be a warrior feature, might not have ever been added to support sk or pallies since there's no reason a sk or pally would run a 1h setup without a shield.

thats a good point.

so i tried on my warrior and he does equip the shield to bash. however he doesnt swap back to dual wield after. just sticks with sword and board. is that the way it's supposed to function? seems kinda pointless if so. especially for rogues that want to swap in a their highest dmg 1h just for backstab and then go back to their best ratio weapon for autoattack

Did you see these on the MQ2Melee page?

aggro=[on|off]
Plugin tries to keep aggro on target using all enabled aggro abilities/disciplines until aggro is regained, or either you or the target dies.

aggropri=[Item ID]
Item ID for primary weapon to be used in aggro mode.

aggrosec=[Item ID]
Item ID for secondary weapon to be used in aggro mode.

bash=[on|off]
Will try to bash target if you have a shield equipped or have have a 2-handed weapon and the 2 Hand Bash AA.

meleepri=[Item ID]
Item ID for primary weapon to be used in non-aggro mode.

meleesec=[Item ID]
Item ID for secondary weapon to be used in non-aggro mode

shield=[Item ID]
Item ID of shield to use for bashing

since your shield goes in the secondary slot, you would need to designate the weapons you would "normally" want in those slots.
