MQ2Shaman

Plugin - MQ2Shaman (6 Viewers) 3.1.52471.11

P.S. always enjoy your avatar dude (that isn't Rondo is it? what is it from?)

I actually dont remember where it is from. I got bored with the default letter avatar and just searched google images. I saw this guy (a confused looking frog staring out from a toilet bowl) and thought "this is about my level of understanding of this MQ2 world" so figured it fit me.
 
Shamans are killing it. Did GD raid last night, all the shamans are running the plugin, some clerics are plugin and some are a macro.

howdy blah - thanks

yeah addressed elsewhere in the thread.

At some point after the group was buffed with group buffs pet died, and was recast - because we don't do group buffs direct to pets (because group buffs only take hold if you have the AA so they can take hold) it then falls through to those lower lvl buffs - but i created a section to single target buff pets if their owner was negligent and let them die and they need fresh buffs (but the group doesn't so it wouldn't cast group buffs). Normally we would only check single target buffs (that have matching group buffs) if the single target buff is higher (like a higher tier), so i had to create some stuff for pets specifically to be checked after we do group stuff, before we fall into old stuff

tl;dr - fix't

P.S. - I'll give my doggo an extra treat today in memory of your rippo doggo (assuming it was shmmy pet)
 
hI Sic and crew :) Shammy is spamming me:

Shammy is running all RK III spells.
If I manually target the SK he will cast and stop spamming me. SK is marked as group leader, group puller, main assist etc.

Howdy MyName - hope you're well!

yup addressed a few times in thread - its fixed for next update, we accidentally left our debugging thing live - but it did its purpose hah! (tho we didn't not assign a target for the casting portion, just checking if we could cast it - blah blah blah tl;dr - fix't)

sorry for the troubles will go away next update

My apologies for not reading the former threads! Thank you again for all you do :)
 
Hi Sic / CWTN

Sorry if this has been brought up already, had a look through and can't see it.

When issuing typed commands to change settings, it appears to not get saved.

HUD updates

Log off / or unload/reload plugin - it resets back to defaults

To clarify, I'm issuing typed commands which I believe are supposed to save? not changing stuff in the HUD directly
 
I'll look into it.

i think there might be a window issue

edit: found 1 issue, working through some others as i messed a couple things up.

thanks for the report

"That Moment When" something isn't right - then you find cascading wrong stuff!

good news, easy fixes

thanks @ABWar ended up being quite a few things that were borked, and wasn't just in shaman either

If EQ says the item is ready, we trust it and try to use it.
I've just ran into this issue with the Epic myself, and while I understand why it happens (EQ timers suck as of late) - Shaman just stands there trying to click it, and stops doing everything else (including healing)

Any way of having a second check on it, maybe stop trying for a bit after it's made a few attempts and get back to business?

Tried out MQ2Shaman today. It will no doubt play better than me as I don't know shaman class very well. So bare with me. The first thing I noticed is that it cast group shrink about 10 times in a row and seems to cast it fairly often thereafter. Looks like I can disable it, just curious why it thinks it needs to cast it so often. I then tried it in DPS mode an am not getting very much DPS. Now I am killing trash that has gotten pretty trivial (group kills in about 30 seconds) so am wondering if it just can't get started fast enough. Maybe a fastdps mode where it skips some things in favor of dps. I have no idea really. But I think my kissassist profile was doing more dps (but no doubt managing other spells less well). I'll try fussing with the controls and maybe use the bring your own spells.

Also do the CWTN plugins manage the characters mercenary or is there another plugin/macro i can/should use if i want it to automatically switch merc to burn mode periodically, etc. I just run three toons with mercs when I am not playing with a regular group.
 
FYI Seeing message "CWTN messed up. Need to let him know he forgot to assign a target to Spirtual Squall Rk. II"

yup as mentioned in other places in the thread - our "debugging thing" got left on - its not actually a thing, its just one of the checks outputting it - you can disregard.

the shrink thing is usually due to the game thinking/saying that toons are loaded when they're not - or maybe a pet is under the world but the game says we have LoS on it. I've actually noticed this myself pretty much as soon as beta went live, I wonder if it is server stability issue. Not sure what we can do about it, other than delay checking stuff longer.
DPS just loads more dps spells - it still does its healing and debuffing - I would suggest possibly turning off slow/malo if you want more dps uptime - they are all still dots, so fast kill times you don't get much dps - because... dots.

no we don't do any mercenary stuff
 
I'm going to change group shrink in bst and shm to say who they're trying to group shrink, and add a zone delay check to downtime

the combo here will allow us to potentially fix the issue upon zoning and also give us some feedback as to who/what it thinks needs it if it doesn't / can't recieve it
 
Makes sense, i have a similar problem manually playing my druid on trash, I can do a short dot and then nuke. Not sure what I can do on the shaman, I don't want to hobble it to the point it doesn't do everything on named. This is likely to be a short period of time. I should probably let the shaman heal and swap in a third melee merc for dps.
 
Is there any way to twiddle off using Spirtual Squall (I know, sacrilege) it seems to cast too often during my trash battles and maybe something else more useful would get cast, especially when only the tank is taking damage. Or maybe it only casts if more than one group member is below X% (especially if in dps/hybrid mode). Just throwing stuff against the wall here, just trying to twiddle the behavior a little. Am pretty happy with it as is, will try with current content as well (bet its a lot better there).

you can go byos and not memorize squall.
 
Any Idea on a closer time Frame. Itching to purchase ;)
why? its in pre-release so you can use it right. now. without paying for it.

In Pre-Release which is included with your VV lvl 2 - just load it/plugin mq2shaman load
 
Finally got a named in camp. The shaman did ok in dps mode, so its just the short lived trash that he doesn't help much with (directly). My manual druid is pretty much the same. I created a couple mq2react rules to toggle my dps mercs in and out of burn mode and I daresay things are going better than my kissassist config even for trash. Nice work cwtn and sic.
 
Shaman lvl 75 and higher I have noticed that it does not fill all the spell slots after 9 slots I have 2 or 3 empty.

Is this normal?
 
Receiving error "CWTN messed up Need to let him know he forgot to assign a target to Wild Growth" <--Receiving on my new 85-90 group, Main Assist and Main Tank assigned.
Receiving the same error for Ennui on my 115.
 
First off, gonna just say that what I'm about to say is very much an edge case and I don't actually expect that anything be done about it, but it was comical so I'm going to share.

So the setting is a guild raid and a few of the players are boxing multiples using MQ2. We had a shaman running MQ2Shaman grouped with a non-mq2 user friend of mine who is well aware of the fact that some of us are using mq2 and absolutely gives no fucks about it. Anyways my friend has literally every shrink spell blocked via the client because *reasons*. The shaman, who was supposed to be the group healer got stuck in a loop trying to shrink this person and never got around to casting heals, nor any other spell. Ended up getting the group wiped because it was looping group shrink. My friend sends me a tell saying "I think someone screwed up their MQ2 because this shaman is constantly trying to shrink me." I ended up sending the other player a tell asking them to unclick UseGroupShrink and that seemed to fix things.

yeah can't do anything about that - I don't intend on checking against blocked buffs for shrink. gonna have to turn it off with the toggle.

and i agree with hellfyre
