MQ2Ranger

Plugin - MQ2Ranger 3.1.52471.11

Anyone tried this in raid yet? Curious if I have multiple of these in raid if they'll decide amongst each other which one self-sacrifices to the loot gods or if they'll all do it for even moar uber loots

(In seriousness, very excited to try this out! As always thanks to the both of you for all you do!)
 
getting a message that the dll could not be found but it is in
I have updated my very vanilla and have the mq2ranger on watch on the page. I don't have the mq2ranger file in my mq folder. My last VV version was on 10/25/23 at 7 pm. Maybe the app didnt get the update yet.
 
Heck yes, can't wait to try this out!

A little apart the Rangers sat, silent, in an ordered company, armed with spear and bow and sword. They were clad in cloaks of dark grey, and their hoods were cast now over helm and head. Their horses were strong and of proud bearing, but rough-haired; and one stood there without a rider, Aragorn’s own horse that they had brought from the North; Roheryn was his name. There was no gleam of stone or gold, nor any fair thing in all their gear and harness: nor did their riders bear any badge or token, save only that each cloak was pinned upon the left shoulder by a brooch of silver shaped like a rayed star.”

Not sure but I tried all the same thingsCapture.PNG
 
Here, read my silly story while you wait.


In the mystical world of Norrath, where ancient forests and towering mountains whispered secrets to those who listened, there lived a courageous ranger named Lyria. She was known throughout the land as a skilled archer and a fierce protector of nature. With her trusty bow and arrows, Lyria ventured into the wildest corners of the realm to face unimaginable challenges.

One fateful morning, as the sun bathed the land in a golden glow, Lyria received a message from a local village. They spoke of a great evil that had awakened deep within the heart of the Enchanted Woods. The creatures of darkness, led by a sinister sorcerer, were threatening to corrupt the ancient balance of nature. Lyria knew she couldn't stand by while the land she loved was under such a dire threat.

With her bow, crafted from the finest wood of the Eternal Grove, and arrows enchanted with the essence of the world itself, she set off for the Enchanted Woods. The path was fraught with danger, from treacherous ravines to sinister shadows lurking among the trees. But Lyria moved with the grace and precision of a true ranger, her steps as silent as the whispers of the wind.

As she delved deeper into the heart of the woods, the air grew thick with malevolence. Dark creatures, twisted by the sorcerer's power, emerged from the shadows. Her arrows flew true and struck with uncanny accuracy, felling her foes one by one. But it was not just her skill with the bow that set her apart; it was her connection to the world of Norrath itself. The land responded to her presence, guiding her through the dense underbrush and revealing hidden paths.

Finally, after days of relentless pursuit, Lyria reached the heart of the Enchanted Woods. There, she faced the sinister sorcerer, his eyes gleaming with malice. A fierce battle ensued, arrows and dark spells filling the air. With each draw of her bowstring, Lyria tapped into the life force of Norrath, her shots growing more powerful with every heartbeat.

The battle raged on until the sorcerer, realizing he was outmatched, attempted to call upon the darkest forces of the world. Lyria saw her chance and, with the last of her strength, drew her bow to its full extent. Her arrow, imbued with the essence of Norrath, flew forth like a bolt of lightning and struck the sorcerer's heart. With a thunderous explosion of light, the evil within him was vanquished.

The Enchanted Woods, once shrouded in darkness, were bathed in the warm, golden light of the sun. The creatures, freed from the sorcerer's control, returned to their natural state. Lyria had saved the land she loved, and her name would forever be whispered with reverence among the people of Norrath.

With her trusty bow and arrows, Lyria continued her adventures, protecting the world from mystical creatures and great evil. She knew that as long as she stood as a guardian of the land, Norrath would remain a place of wonder and beauty, where the bow and arrow of a skilled ranger could make all the difference.
 
A tale of the Rangers 6?
In the world of Norrath, where flames burned high, A tale of Fennin Ro, I shall now supply.
The Tyrant of Fire, a monstrous sight to behold, In the Plane of Fire, where legends are told.

The raiding party, strong and bold, Heroes of valor, their stories yet untold.
But among them, Rangers Six, they stood apart, Their aim was true, and it set them apart.

As the raid engaged, and the battle did rage, Fennin Ro's fury, they had to assuage.
Arrows flew and blades clashed in the fire's glow, But the Rangers Six had a different role to show.

With bows drawn taut, they let their arrows fly, Each shot finding its mark in the blazing sky.
Together they unleashed a torrent of pain, Their combined damage, like a fiery rain.

Fennin Ro roared, his flames burned bright, The raiders fought hard with all their might.
But in the end, it was the Rangers' fame, For their damage eclipsed the raiders' flame.

"They stood apart, the Rangers Six," they'd say, In Norrath's legends, they had their day.
For when the dust settled, and the flames grew dim, It was the Rangers who had the victory within.

So remember the tale of Fennin Ro's plight, And the Rangers' prowess in that fiery fight.
In the Plane of Fire, where legends are made, The Rangers Six, their names will never fade.

anyone else unable to load the program or even get it to show up? I know it's just me. It's always just me, sorry.
 
Coming from a person where you has main'ed a ranger for too many years to count, I am excited to see what else i can learn from the class with this plugin.

Thank you guys! Looking forward to this one forsure
 
Is pre-release available, I can't seem to find it?
No not yet.

As mentioned :p

Locking this thread until MQ2ranger is released.

We're waiting on a few build-server things to happen and then when built will be gtg
 
May your bow string not rip off your ear and may your arrows fly true and all that.

For the sake of clarity, as it is on every pre-release, just update VV, MQ2Ranger is now included during the pre-release.
 
Congrats to both of you on another release =)
 
You beautiful, beautiful human beings. I am so happy. Will be adding this to my collection later.

The only reason I still play EQ is due to the resources you guys painstakingly create. Thankyou so much. Take my money!
 
Congrats CHAT and Sic on another plugin! You guys are making a bunch of grown men cry tears of joy. 'Course nothing like will be the case that that other plugin that shall not be mentioned emerges from the shadows. People may actually need therapy when you drop that one lol.
 
Question: UseShoutCombo

Issue: Chain Casting On Pets

Tested: Spell: Shout of the Dusksage Stalker is a player only spell. Ive tested this with 4 different pet classes (Must Target the Owners of the pet in order for the pet to get this combo buff or MGB).

Was wondering if this option can just ignore pets since it wont land at all unless the owners pet is targeted.

Thank you.


EDIT:

Retested this again with UseShoutCombo set to Off

Outcome: Ranger cast Bay of the Predator and Cloak of BloodBarbs but fails to cast "Strength of the Dusksage Stalker" It apears the single target buffs will land on pets. Requesting that Strength Line be added when Usecombo is set to off.

Opinion: Maybe if UseShoutCombo is set to Off then the ranger can also cast "Strength of the Dusksage Stalker" or just have the ranger ignore pets if UseShoutCombo is set to On.

Just a thory. Thanks

Ill look at it, as usual the helpful stuff is "xyz is problem/expected, and abc is happening", the suggestions for solutions aren't really helpful and can sometimes be really distracting. I appreciate tho.

for AtkHPBuff, we check the group for melee for that buff if UseAtkHPBuff is turned on (so that always gets checked), it is cast after AtkBuff, which i imagine where the stacking is saying it cant take effect.

I'll take a peak

Would it be possible to consider adding an option for having the following buff:
Jolting Luclinite, Jolting Velium, ...
It is procing a desaggro and is useful when your tank does not hold aggro.
Same for Duskveil, Frostveil.

Are you using weapon shield discipline ?
This is an OP one (it does not require a shield, just the name), if you have to tank as a ranger it allow you to tank a named (briefly).
Same if you have to replace the tank, because he just bite the dust, that is a good one to use.

As for bow use, i would say that a ranger wants to bow with his bow discipline on.
Otherwise he wants to melee.
Not sure this is helpful.
Otherwise I had a real blast with the plugin.
Thanks for the good stuff!
as always if the plugin doesn't say it is using something, it isn't

re: jolting, not using it yet, i'll take a look.
re: dusk, same
re: weapon shield disk same

already have them laid out, just not implemented, i'll take a look at those today

First thing I noticed. When I have a charmed mob from my chanter, rng is trying to cast shout constantly. Otherwise LOVE it.
yep, likely has to do with the pet thing already posted. will take a look at

that looks PERFECTLY spelled correct :p
Will fix - that's pretty funny tho

thx Sic for looking into the buff situation. aside from that i dont see any other issue :)
 
@KS1980

looks like it is MQ issue with spiritual vigor bst line - this is what i was talking about in the FAQ and why it is defaulted off.

You're going to want to pick one and block it on your pet

You also can cast shout directly onto the pet (assuming they're high enough to take group buffs), it is the Dusksage Stalker portion of the spell that doesn't stack with Spiritual Vigor.

> here is where i talk about it <

spitual viguar is blocked on the pet buff block. but like i was saying the shoutcobo on is for a targeted player. if you target a petand use the combo spell maulally you will see it will not take hold. no red message nothing. however if you target the pets owner and cast the combo then then the pet will have the buff.

if u have combo set to off then the ranger will cast bay and barb but will not cast strength. seeing the bst vigor doesnt stack with ranger strength maybe there might be another soultuin?

Thanks again

Edit:

Combo off will target the pet and it will buff only Bay and Barb but not strength, which is why i was requesting if combo off if you can make it also cast strength or if combo on to ignore pets
