Used it for hours last night. Not one single movement on the ranger. He sat there like a good boy and did all the ranger stuff without moving. Thank you Sic for working with me last night to get a fix in place and thank you Cwtn for posting the update and the work you invariably did behind the scenes.
I did the update :p it just said chat did.

Nonetheless you're welcome

Sic fixed it while I worked on another project. But thank you for the kind words. (the update attribute to the owner of the resource, not the person who actually did the update)

TL;DR

imo, just turn off UseShoutCombo - otherwise ensure you're blocking the sub-spells correctly


you should just turn off shoutcombo (which is off by default due to conflicts this spell can cause).

but regarding the blocked spell - did you block the correct spell? since sometimes a spell that casts multiple spells, you want it to cast some but maybe not all - you need to block the subspells specifically.

your "but the effect is currently blocked." bit you actually snipped off the most important part - what actual spell is missing
you also didn't show the spell being blocked, so no clue what you're actually blocking

the FAQ has a spot specifically referencing that and how it can conflict with brells

I am just blocking the strength of the fernstalker.

so if i turn off the shout, would the ranger cast the indiviual spells instead of tthe combo

yes the strength sub spell is blocked on my paladin

Then we'd cast it if you're missing the other 2 and not care about the strength part.


Yarp, should do exactly what you're looking for. Give it a whirl and let me know.
Sic what you suggested works. all those buffs are being distributed accordingly. thank you for the suggestion

Hell ya. Thanks for letting me know you're all good.

Yah mq doesn't "quite" get the buff stacking correct for things with atk for some reason
 
Anyway to keep some mana and dps up? I seem to OOM in like 5 mobs haha.
What worked well for me to find a bit of a balance was to turn my nuke and dot mana thresholds up and then use a Lua or react to still cast the arrow nukes when below that mana threshold. This let the plugin go ham on DPS til mana got tight and then at least kept the arrow nukes going. I'm not saying this is a good way to do things (2 "automations" fighting can cause some interesting behaviors) - its just what worked for me.

adjust your settings - rangers are mana hungry to perform well --- so make sure you have the support and other stuff you need, adjust your settings otherwise

this is not really something i would want recommended for folks - because yeah, this is a conflict and it becomes impossible to help people. Adjust settings - or byos if you want a different loadout
 
Wrong forum
My question is about spells n dics used. I used to use mq with class plugins is was amazing. I did get nailed on all my acc Yet i still have them all, with that being said. I no longer use anything. Im looking for spell/dics line up you put into class plugins. since i wont run anything cant look to see what is loaded. Looking for info atm about ranger spell line for lvl 115/120/125. Yes i could take the time to read n learn, just want crash course on what in plugin loaded due to him being my 8th toon i run, yes with no software to help me.

if you want to know what mq2ranger uses, you can check out the plugin on the test server build without purchasing it.

Thank you and wasnt sure where to post it.. Thank you again for the infomation, Even tho i dont run or use anything still keep active due to all the good information here. Much appericated for everything you all do.
 
quick question regarding the Volcanic Ash line of spells (Current TLP Yelinak at RoF And Soon CotF) is there a specific reason the level 93 form <Beastwood Ash> is being cast instead of Vileoak Ash -Level 98. if its just a mana efficiency concern thats understandable (Both spells ARE on the will cast list )

Also, other then Byos Custom are there any any chance of adding our Enraging shot to the primary agro rotation when we are set to Main tank ? just curious.

Thanks again ^_^

well. one is aTimer 1 and one is a Timer 4, so they're different spell timers. non byos we always put DDAsh1 in gem 1 since it is a spell timer that carries through your whole leveling career. there are other times we use DDAsh4, but other stuff has priority, you can byos/byos-custom and it would use both.

it is and we do, but i suspect it is probably a matter that some other stuff comes back from refresh before you make it to using that. I'll take a look if that needs an adjustment. thanks for letting me know.

Thanks again ^_^
You're welcome <3
 
Just a minor hickup (Yelinak TLP Currently on TDS) spells for the expansion Energized by the hunt MK1 and 2 , eyes of the Harrier MK1 and 2 are both being cast over (and for some reason over writing their MK3 upgrades given by Corpestalker's Unity RK.3. not sure if the ranger is just over looking the Mk3 variant of the spells and the game allows the overwrite or what. but just thought i should bring it up.

Does your AA not match your best spell? Cause that'll happen
 
With the new expansion dots using so much mana, is it possiible to only use dots on GoM procs?

Guess this is a question for other rangers as well.

no no current plans on that.

and as i made a post about and have mentioned a few times, until at the *least* january patch we're not making large changes.

this xpac was rushed and shipped incomplete changes, so if that has to happen in the future - sure, but as of right now, no

you can already pseudo accomplish this with your SwarmDot by just having a very high dotmanamin, and then you would only cast SwarmDot when you have GoM --- see how adding a toggle or something is just bloat when you can already do that?

Awesome, thank you sir!
 
hi, I do not believe we are currently using any of the new non arrow nukes, unless it is set to use LS nukes because of mana cost issues.

hi

i did not leave any upgrades out intentionally - do you know which ones?
 
Gotcha, cause I just leveled this guy and memmed every spell from scarred grove and he still has heroic spells from 100 and down memmed for non-arrow nukes.
what does your spell say in your spells tab for "Ash T4" and "Wind T2"

it sounds like you might be byos and not realize it
 
This is what i have no byos.
you should get spells it says you're missing.

spells are memorized based on a whole bunch of stuff - if you have like 4 current spells it doesn't mean that's what we're gonna use

Gotcha, just saying I have every spell from 126-130 memmed. He went straight from heroic 100 to 130, and I have all the spells from the new expansion memorized. If its not set to use old spells, then he should be using the newer ones no?

we're not communicating well here.

no. go and get spells it says you are missing - it is going to tell you anything between max and where you are that you're missing.

for example, it is probably not telling you that you're missing DD Summer, because you have Summer's Drew / Summer's Gale despite there being 5 spells in between there.
also:

not everything is on the same timere, you have Wind T2 and WindT2, for example.

go and get things it says you are missing please
 
put the output in, just to show that its casting LS spells.

you can see Laurion Ash is the highest Ash T1 that you have, so it is using Ash T1 here, ash t1 did not get an upgrade, but that is what we're using for timer 1
 
like sic said, the timers are different

edit: idk why it didn't reply to you sorry.. maybe cause you had no text?

as i mentioned earlier, they are timer 4 and timer 1, they are two different spell timers
