MQ2Shaman

Plugin - MQ2Shaman 3.1.52471.11

This is what it should be casting if you are in manual mode with no camp set. (uses your distance).

Seeing the actual mq2shaman window output is more useful than the game output - but this is obviously casting stuff that is not just 99% buffs all the time.

Shaman chain cast Wulthan Focusing on cleric because clerics self buff is blocking the spell. I blocked clerics self buff to make it happy for now.

yeah unfortunately there are some spells that mq2 reports as they stack, not much we can do about that outside of hard coding every exception. this is why we utilize blocked spells which can fix many of those issues

is there a "tier" discrepancy with your shaman and your cleric? We see a similar issue with bst focus from a RoS tier focus to a ToV tier cleric buff - I suspect this is a similar situation since there is no spam buffing issue with a 115 clr and 115 shaman

i still suspect something is amiss with your camp settings.

running out to check and instantly start doing dps stuff when its expected to

it is amazing how much squall this thing puts out. I don't know how you fit all the other features between the chain cast gift/squall!
 
if you have never used a cwtn plugin before - you will actually have to load another cwtn plugin until next build, for it to create the window (if another plugin loaded it it would be fine) --- our template turns out didn't have the create xml window stuff, and i never noticed)

if you HAVE used a cwtn plugin before then watch this vid

you need to do a /reloadui


Thank you Sic

got it going
 
ya i dunno i put him in /she use melee off now he is malasieing mobs but nothing else
 
For what it's worth, I was using one of the other plugins just now, and getting annoyed that he'd buff, but wouldn't do anything else. Figured it was broken. Realized I didn't take it out of "manual" mode. /facepalm

ya he in mode 1 now and no other plugins running that would disrupt it i dont think
 
so I did find an interesting mq2 situation with populated buffs and targetting (appears to be a replicable bug), which *might* give a little bit of insight into why we sometimes re-malaise stuff that doesn't need it when we switch back to our target from our tank, and i think i have a workaround for it

Let the shm beat up this mammoth for a while, while the mammoth was beating up my sk (who was standing there like "why aren't you letting me hit this damn mammoth that is punching me")
if you notice - no duplicate Malaise upon target swapping around. Will test this different approach to target acquisition and see if that helps. Re-casting Malaise on a target that doesn't need it is a HUGE waste of time - especially if your group is needing you to swap around to get more heals because you're getting your ass beat.

yup - its going to cast stuff that you can use when it can - if you don't want it to cast on you, block the talisman
That's cool, but if we want to invite other real people to group (I know, what's the world coming to?) that's not really feasible, and looks very bot like

well good news for you. just like the other cwtn class plugins like mq2bst and mq2cleric, we only buff local toons that are on cwtnbuffs where we can see what they have. so its not going to buff those real people you're so worried about.

so you have concerns about something that isn't a thing at all.
 
Adding some more options this morning (obviously there's a bit of a delay between me pushing updates, and VV getting built with them, so no pitchforks)

this will enable/disable the STFocus and GroupFocus lines

this will enable/disable the Regen/GRegen lines

this will enable/disable the Growth line (and then will memorize a second GiftDD (if heal or hybrid stance) for MOAR twincasting

This is what my settings look like atm (testing out this not using growth for double giftDD)

Sorry, didn't see any vids or even read through this forum, please excuse my ignorance.... Quick question though, if no group shrink is checked/unchecked? will it still attempt to shrink the team even with a single tgt shrink spell? would this work out of group in a raid perhaps?

Either way, great stuff, I'm waiting for it to get a little more baked in b4 I give it a roll but what you guy have so far is cool.

"if no group shrink is checked/unchecked" what?

if you have group shrink turned on, but don't have the group shrink AA, you will memorize your shrink spell and shrink your team.
We only do group shrinking on our actual group, it may get extended for xtarget/raid like some of our other stuff - but for now, no

Fair cop, forgot about cwtn buffs being local only... Ran sham with kiss for so long, so it concerned me

I'll sit my ass down 😜
 
Plugin is working great, although I ran into a minor issue that got me killed a few times before figuring out how to prevent it.

My group is only 30 on TLP so that may be part of the problem.
Group was fighting a mob, add came up and started beating on the shaman. Shaman was targeting first mob and once the mob got to around 20% HP or so was only focused on spamming his frost nuke and wouldn't switch to healing himself. Shaman got down to 8% HP before the first mob died and then he actually healed himself. Is there any protection in place that says if group member HP < X stop doing everything else and just heal?
Stance is set to healing
I have fixed this for the time being by turning off Nukes completely

all healing checks are done before any checks to go and do any nuking (outside of GiftDD, which you don't have), and it cycles frequently. is it possible you didn't have enough mana for your heal, but had enough mana to nuke and had set your nukemanamin low? outside of that can't think of any reason why.

I believe the only heal you actually have at 30 shaman is greater healing, you'll get stoicism at 44. Shammies aren't very good solo healers at low lvl

I had 11% hp and 80% mana when it was happening, the other time it happened the values were similar although mana was closer to like 50 and he was just spamming Canni. Haven't seen any close calls since disabling the nuke ability. If I figure anything else out that can help ill let you know.

you mentioning the spamming canni gave me a thought - i have some adjustments that might help the low lvl stuff

thanks for the msg
 
willing to do testing on MQ2shaman, if it will be of assistance. willing to share and provide any information to help

Load it up and do reports, it's available as part of the VV compile as a pre-release version!
 
Not sure why there are issues for some, I got home late last night and loaded it up along with beast, zerker, rogue war and monk plugins. And Bam worked like a champ not 1 issue I can complain about. Window opened just fine and as easy to change heals, buffs and percentages to your feel. Its a great plugin as usual guys can not wait until pally and can only hope for a bard plugin. I will post if I do have some issue . on a side note I do overlap kissassist on all toons for other reasons.
 
Is there a way to get squall to be adjustable while I love it on raids, in groups it is slower for patch healing?

Well I'm glad I can contribute, but yeah, low level shaman loves to spam the shit out of canni every available moment he can, to the point where sometimes I think he might just kill himself before deciding hes good :)

Just happened again, Shaman was at 36% hp from spamming canni, then got aggro from low hp, and then casted frost strike to get the kill rather than healing himself. Only healed himself AFTER the fight was over. He had 78% mana AFTER casting the frost strike.

Maybe its something with the Canni that is causing him to not want to heal.

EDIT

next fight RIP shaman :\
1603423481556.png


Third EDIT
I turned of UseMelee and now he is healing much more often as soon as someone hits like 50-60% range of hp so maybe that was causing issues somehow

like i've already said, there are some adjustments getting made to canni for in combat stuff because of low lvl. its not that canni is making him not want to heal - he is meeting his canni condition and casting canni to get mana - but i'm going to have that check on a timer so it is slightly less frequent.
 
Chat and Sic,
Great addition to the other plugins. I took it for a test in a raid instance, while in a group did it with one other character in zone, Shaman healed and fought well, did the mission again (while in a group) but alone in the instance and had him Tank. Had a few issues with lag of his DPS dots, I changed to Manual and HunterTank to try and see if that helped, end result was about the same. In all the situations, he would not stop spamming Spirit Bolstering Rk 2 on his pet. For awhile, I could not even select the mob as he would select back to his pet to Spirit Bolster him again. Hope the feedback helps.
