So mqranbwr plugin is amazing. Am using it at level 65 and it seem to ignore entirely the “eagle eye” line of buffs, which boosts accuracy and such.
Dont see a checkbox or setting for this - I imagine it become obsolete later and the plugin doesn’t prioritize it. Which is fine. But do I have any work around around or plugins I can use with it?
No seeing anything in class plugins that helps. My first thought was run KA with only buffs on, but that won’t work for a few reasons.
How can I make him not neglect that? It’s going to be relevant on fang for a long while.

Please start posting in the correct area.
All resources have a discussion thread, you should always start there.
In the future please see the sticky and check out the "how to ask for help" piece and provide information with specificity.
The answer to running kiss on top, like I've already told you, is a resounding no.
I'll take a look at that spell and whatever other spells are in it - it looks like a lower thing before it gets "baked" in other stuff

Appreciate. Sorry for the wrong location.
As note regarding byos/byos custom - tried those with eagle eye loaded and he still just ignores it.
So far manually is the only way I’ve gotten it on when yellow plugin is running.
(Aside from this quark I’m thrilled with the plugin and it’s worth every cent.)

you can't "willy nilly" memorize things for the most part if it doesn't say it uses something, it doesn't (some exceptions, sk jolts, darkness lines nec/shd, pal quick heal, some cleric heal)

Hello,
I have a anger in my 6 box crew. It seems to cycle through ALOT of mana. I mainly want it not to cast anthing and just shoot arrows. Is there a way to shut off poison/flame arrows in the drop down? Is there anything that I can uncheck in the interface so im not using so much mana? The problem is when i run my group in a PLing session/ farming session... the ranger is constantly sitting down to med. Please help. tia.

Set your nuke mana min and dot mana min values to something higher.
hi fragile,
Please make sure to post in the discussion thread for the thing you're discussing. dont really need an entire new thread to ask a question about mq2ranger when it already has a discussion thread.
"sitting down to med" means you need to adjust your pull settings - now we always "watch" ourselves as puller, but you can set it to like 0 /rng manamedstart 0 and /rng manamedend 1 or something
if you just dont want to do some stuff adjust your usage - dotmanamin, nukemanamin - set them (regretfully) to 100
you can also turn off dot usage /rng usedot off
for timer5, use flaming as it is less mana

Hey sic, sorry about that. I took my best guess as to where to post at. thank you for the advice.
100 moveback uw is what you want to set the custom stickhow to.
Timer 1 and Timer 4 are not the same timer. they are not the same spell line (even if i think they should be)
> can see mentioned before <
it is why we call the groups "Ash T1" and "Ash T4"
I might make some change to compare their levels or damage and then pick which one to memorize, or see if i can/need to squeeze both in, but it is currently doing what it should - memorize Ash T1 in that gem slot, not Ash T4.
this is one of those "not really sure why dbg made it this way" things, they made each spell only update every 10 levels, but use different timers
the "new ash spell" is timer 4, and it is substantial damage over the currently un-upgraded laurion ash (123)
if you so desired, you could put it in gem 13 (if no usealliance) or 14 and it would use it

Apologies if this has been answered before as I tried to see if someone else is having the problem/fix but I couldnt find. I started a ranger, got the fleeting quiver with Ancient Arrows and class 3 wood silver tipped arrows, but the ranger never is using the heartshot line. Any ideas why? He's also never using the AA Timer 5 either. Any ideas?
re: heartshot - it is pretty low priority for regular usage, but i keep meaning to see where it falls if your target is animal or humanoid and see if it is where it should be as far as priority goes
re: aatimer5, only thing i can suggest is ensuring you haven't blocked the buff it gives you for some reason
ah ok thanks about heartshot. I was going by the video and then that its listed as high priority for the type 3 augs, assuming it would be firing often. I'll ignore that then!
For the AA Timer 5, thats just for like the poison or flaming arrows if Im not mistaken and that doesnt give a buff? Either case, only buffs I have blocked are illusions.
are you always above 10% mana with also enough mana for the consumption to trigger?
they do give buffs
and
(ignore the rank, this is a random f2p ranger)
they give you a perma buff that requires you to have 10% mana which then allows you to proc for a mana cost
ohhhhhhh - I see what you are saying. it only casts to give you the buff. Thats why it triggered now was because I upped the rank, and now I got a new rank of the buff. I thought it was a skill to do the damage on cast...my bad.
well eq has a bug with autogrant, you need to relog for it to work
but yeah, it only casts it when you dont have the buff, it isn't something continually casted upon yourself
and yeah, until such time that they "finish" adjusting their spells I dont plan on adjusting the priority of animal/humanoid heartshot usage, tho i have all the functionality in place once they decide what they're doing with it.
if there had been a new spell with this xpac, it would be easy to see where they're planning on placing it, but even test doesn't have updated for the LS version at this time

I am currently using KA when I need the "Stand right here, Face the target, do ranged damage, and dont f***in move" routine.
I don't see anywhere an obvious way to get the ranger to stand still and shoot and do his thing - from the raid fights where MAX range is preferable to minimum.
Is this an addable stickhow? did I miss an obvious thing?
Correction for clarity: KA is my "Stand still and don't move" set up. Don't use two at once. A or B. I want to do that with the plugin, but it doesn't seem do able?

you can. did you check the faq?
Q: I Want to Range, but i'm moving up into melee range or I want to move behind?
A: Make sure you check out the vid > here < that explains to change your stickhow. Also ensure > UseRanged < is turned on.
some suggested edits to your stickhow might be "snaproll rear 35 moveback uw" or "!front 35 moveback uw"
you can also use mode 3 (vorpal) and useranged and no usestick will plop you in one place and not move you.

Confusion on my end: he is 100% ranging. And doing a fantastic job of it, really. He's not "moving into melee" (in the way I raed it here) in what I am seeing. He is "moving into range." Staying at range. Moving when the target does. Holding LoS. Shooting bow. It's amazing. (using moveback 35 by default)
Occasionally - I am going for "Doing move at all, stand right there." No snapping to the rear, no moving back, no doing anything with his feet. The plan is to pull the mob in front of said ranger, where he can shoot it to his hearts content. I want him to run the full "Shoot bow, cast spells, do ranger stuff" just... while staying where I left him.
Specifically for some of PoTime fights and PoP stuff I am doing on Fang. The Tallon Zek fight and many of the PoTimeB fights. All of the stickhow settings *make him move to* xyz. Front. Rear. Etc. I want to manually walk his ass where he's going to stay and trust he wont move an inch when he starts shooting and casting spells. So this might be super niche?
totally valid usage, not super niche and totally gotchu dude
/rng mode 3
/rng useranged on
/rng usestick off
now he's just a turret - shooting anything within his campradius and assistat value that is aggro (on xtarget) and your ma/raidma's target --- no moving
I use this on my ranger all the time and love it.
I made that a hot key but also added
/rng campradius 200
Its been my experience that with a smaller camp radius and ranger that isnt moving, you can be fighting outside your normal camp radius and not assisting with the ranger. This allows me to move the ranger back far enough so that you are never "too close for ranged", but also always in range for assisting.

That's a good suggestion because the range of a bow combined with the range of an arrow can be a massive radius. If the intent is to keep the ranger at a distance far from the mob you'd need to make it so the mob is inside the camp at a further distance. Just remember to modify this based on the situation as needed to avoid unexpected behavior later on.

Question! I'm using BYOS / BYOS Custom.
This is my current lay out that I want. When i turn on BYOS Custom, it gives me this.
What

im not sure what your question is. you didn't really seem to ask one.
it seems to use the custom you set, but then loads a spell to cast a buff - since you sued byos-custom and not byos - that is what you'd expect.

this is why the "how to ask for help" is in the sticky.
it looks like dbg did update the "Ro's Burning Cloak" from the name mistake they had. so i'll update it.
all done
has nothing to do with byos/byos-custom -
