what's the deal with your merc? is it a weird model or something that doesn't shrink?
well what is it doing if you're saying its not doing anything? if you un-memorize a spell does it memorize it?
It's an animated armor model, I'll see about getting a different one if thats the problem. I got it working, somehow my warrior lost its main assist flag (autogroup usually takes care of that, /shrug). MQ2Shaman didn't seem to notice when I reassigned MA to him had to unload and reload plugin. Maybe I didn't give it enough time. I didn't fool around too long with it.

Q. The UI Window Doesn't save my settings?
A. This is intentional. The UI acts as a "hot swap" allowing you to adjust on the fly. If you want to "save" your settings, adjust it with the slash command.
Explained here > UI Video @ 9:10 <
Not sure on the animated modelm but if its spamming trying to shrink it, casting the shrink, and the model isn't shrinking, then yup likely it
well not treating someone as MA and "doing nothing" are entirely two different things.
We will near INSTANTLY - faster than a person more than likely - notice if you are or are no longer ma
Ok sorry I vaguely recall reading that before I started using the plugin. I was hoping either for a save button on the ui or a /shm save command to save the current settings. But I can manage knowing this, sorry I missed it. The settings provide enough functionality to get it to play the way I need, the squall control was the final piece. Am very happy with the result.
I didn't say it was doing nothing, I said was doing nothing offensive (ie against ma target, i figured it out shortly after and edited the post but you were too fast and saw it). I'll test the MA thing. But I started with no MA set, then set it and watched 2-3 mobs go by without it assisting. I'll try it again and see if it reproduces. Just as a random suggestion if you switch to assist mode and there is no MA set it could print a message in the console saying so. Minor thing.

Yeah, I can understand where you're coming from, however, there are quite a few reasons for not doing this.
one example is if your MT is dead, left zone, or dead and respawned awaiting to fellowship or something - you no longer have an MA as far as we're concerned, but we're not going to output, or beep at you, or un-assist mode you, we will continue to do the stuff that we're doing, and should an ma become available, we will immediately pick up there.
I would definitely looking into mq2autogroup which can help with group roles. I have a video > HERE < on mq2autogroup, mq2autoaccept, and mq2yes in case you're interested in mq2autogroup and want a couple pointers to get it all setup.
Also with the CWTN plugins if you are group leader and go to a tank mode (Tank, PullerTank, HunterTank, SicTank) you will set yourself as main assist (it is actually supposed to set you to main tank as well, but it appears it only forces main tank in one of the puller tanking modes atm (huntertank and pullertank). so if you're running mq2war or mq2eskay, if you let your tank be your group leader they'll assign themselves
I was thinking just a one time warning message in yellow or something when you set the mode in case you didn't notice, I wouldn't force it to not accept that mode or anything like that. Just something that would have helped me notice what was wrong quicker. But all good, works great when the mammal between the chair and keyboard has a clue. I am using mq2autogroup (and i saw your video, thanks for them, keep making them) and this was the first time my warrior has ever come up not MA, so it was just a weird situation. With the available settings tweaks shaman is playing my current camp about how i would if i was paying attention and with squall off i get a little bit of fast dps. Its great. Thinking I might be able to use mq2react to trigger /shm commands in some situations to further customize behavior... of course thats almost the opposite of how the settings are set up... i want the ui permanent and the slash commands for the session, lol. Can't make everyone happy.
Thank you and cwtn for the hard work developing, testing these plugins and supporting annoying users like me.

Shaman currently in the late 80s to 90s (Not sure if levels matter on reporting?)
Following summoning a new pet in the 80s and rebuffing, shaman chain casting Unity buff.
Updated spells at 95, Chain memorizing Halcyon Breath and then back to Ice Mass. Repeats over and over as soon as spell mems.
Currently in Heal Mode, Main Tank->Assist set. Attempted to unload/reload plugin, completed relog. Issue persists.
Edit* Stopped this behavior after changing to Hybrid mode. Changing back to heal mode causes issue to return.

yeah its my fault - you need to have an MA assigned - i forgot a "safety check" so you can/will crash atm without an MA assigned (or if they're in another zone)

- #333
Thanks - will have fixed for next update - you can use hybrid or dps stance and it won't do that
assuming you mean focus? can you be more specific?
which Spell exactly?
Who are you casting it on?
Are you getting any red "Does not stack with XXX" messages upon casting it?
are you full on buffs? (I have updates to cwtnbuffs for next patch to automatically see if you are at buff capacity)
Hi not sure if this is on list of bugs or not, but with release of velious today on Rizlona, Shaman is still preferring to use the heal speal: Lvl 50 Kragg's Salve (heals 688) instead of: Lvl 55 Chloroblast (heals 1044) .
Apology if this was mentioned already

yeah sorry about that - have a fix for it already, but you won't see it until next live build
Thanks Sic. Also wondering at low levels is there an option to have shaman do the other stat buffs as part of its buff routine? IE velious introduces Focus of Spirit which includes Str & Dex attached to it. However, can we have shaman buff Sta / Agi ? I know Agi is debatable at low levels but sta is very good since low level toons are not maxed STA. That extra 10hp could be the deciding factor between owning that moss snake or going down in shame.

currently we do STSta on tank classes, and already do STDex and STStr on melee classes. I don't have a problem adding the ST Agi, but i am getting an increased amount of msg's for the older level stuff where folks don't want to waste mana on buffing the whole group (which is why we created the internal ability to designate class types to buff). Assuming STAgi for just tank?
I just magic'd some code yesterday which will allow me to do a better job of ensuring spells at different level ranges are doing what they should and i've been going through stuff all night. Shaman has a bunch of fk'd spells in the early/middle ranges ;p but yeah lemme know about the agi
Hi Sic, odd my MT is ogre warrior and it doesn't do STDex / STSta or STStr just focus on MT. I have single and group version of those spells so i just load up the group version and do it manually. Regarding STAgi yes just for MT, however i dont think this is important at all and would put this on the "lowest priority" list.
Also i agree that shaman shouldn't waste mana buffing whole group at low level except MT on these stat buffs. At higher levels when shaman gets group version of those, if you code it to cast the group version on MT then of course everybody wins
.
Please let me know if there is a setting i forgot on the ST Dex / Sta / Str as its currently not doing it for my MT.

nah, going through this stuff, you are correct, the ST stuff is borked, and i've been chasing it down since your post (which my unstashed changes is massive atm due to the large project i was working on, so need to make sure other stuff i was working on wasn't borked either.Hi Sic, odd my MT is ogre warrior and it doesn't do STDex / STSta or STStr just focus on MT.

I'll see if i can get this sorted before i crawl myself to bed lol - might be here a bit.
there must be something special about these spells themselves that our target validation or spell validation checks are ignoring them - because our groupneedbuff is designed to be standard for everything =p.
you saying its never worked actually saved me a current rabbit hole =p

lol fml - now i remember why i took out agi --- i didn't want to cast the dumb lvl 61 spell at 115 because it stacks and there are no other AGI stuff from focus (shm or bst) or mount buff or djinn illusion and whatnot that give agi lol.
dumbbbb
oh well - will need to determine at what lvl higher than that spell it isn't worth using any more and make some accommodations for that

The Spell is "Unity of the Spirit" Single target Focus line.
Reviewing my chatlogs, my player characters received "Blocked by (Higher rank)" when shaman cast group version of Unity.
The shaman then changed to the single target version and chain casted on his pet over and over. Per my chat logs it doesnt even wait for the temporary buff to expire before casting again.
[Thu Nov 12 22:00:05 2020] You begin casting Unity of the Spirits.
[Thu Nov 12 22:00:15 2020] Janer's muscles bulge with mammoth's strength.
[Thu Nov 12 22:00:15 2020] Janer moves with ancestral grace.
[Thu Nov 12 22:00:15 2020] Janer is filled with ancestral vigor.
[Thu Nov 12 22:00:17 2020] You begin casting Unity of the Spirits.
[Thu Nov 12 22:00:27 2020] Your Heroic Ring of the Adept flickers with a pale light.

ok, you'll need/want to block this spell on the pet here - this is mentioned in the FAQ about some spells and stacking. Focus is a frequent flier - you can either usefocus and turn it off, or block on the pet/person it is chain casting on
Q. Shaman is chain casting something?
A. There are a few lower lvl / mid level buffs that eq/mq2 reports stack that do not. You either have this situation, your buffs are full, or some other issues. I would suggest checking for the red error text that eq gives you to tell you WHY it didn't successfully take hold and then go from there. You can block anything you don't want cast.
its also possible that you're "full" on buffs - I have updates that will keep track of that coming

Feature request - use inconspicuous totem to save shaman on low life, similar to bst/monks feign.

currently don't plan on doing that - might be in the future, but for now, no. (and yeah, there are a bunch of reasons why - this is something that i've been thinking about since before i started on shaman - likely eventually will have it sorted out, but its not on the high priority list.) but as always its "on the radar"

So, I read through all of the discussion, and didn't see this question asked.. but then I'm known for being blind lol.. but for the CWTN plugins, what would potions fall under.. I know you can add clickies.. but like let's say a potion of clarity, would that be a mana group click? Or are potions handled differently? And you guys hear it all the time, but I'm sure it never gets old.. you guys are doing an amazing job with these

Clarity potion would be addclicky downtime if you were just trying to keep the mana buff on you. manaself does items like instant mana things like modrod

Had just woke up. Sic is correct. Downtime would be the appropriate clicky type to use. As would anything that gives a beneficial buff with any duration of note.

So, My Shamana just hit lvl 45, and i noticed when i did my shm missing to see what spells i NEEDED to get.. ( The ones the plugin wants ) it didnt list the heal Superior Healing, it still calls for the spirit salve heal, which is the lvl 40 heal. Didn't really see anything between the two heals, that would make me think it was for any specific reason.. so i wanted to post and let ya's know. If it was posted and commented on by you, i appoligize for posting it again..
