I switched from Muleassist for mq2shaman. Every 4 hours I have to click a few buffs buttons. I'd still get it.

Its noted in the videos and in the FAQ - We use mq2cwtnbuffs for buffing so we need to see toons locally to know what buffs they have including what their blocked buffs are to buff them.

Moving this MQ2Shaman Question by @Wurmdal into the MQ2Shaman thread
pact of the wolf is your mq2shaman - there is no turning that off - unless you want to add the buff to your blocked spells. But if your major issue is the werewolf form, uh well, you should block the illusion portion on anyone that you don't want an illusion form on - most illusions are independent from the buff portion of spells, so you can often block them - just like in the case with all the shaman and beastlord things that turn people into wolves.
Pact of the wolf form
Rabid Bear Form
Night's Terror
or right click on it and "add this spell to list of blocked spells"

Sic, I don't see Call of the Ancients being cast. Any chance we can get that on a burn routine?
On a side note, is there a log from mq2shaman being dumped anywhere that I can search? Or is that only when the window gone?

Didn't see a PullWith option for shaman, if i want to use shaman to pull on incoming... is that something that can be done via plugin commands? (saw none).
Hold the item you want to use and /shm addclicky pullitem
- Seller
- #888
yup like burd said - if you have a pull clicky you can add it with the addclicky functionality. otherwise there isn't a "pull ability" designated.
Just got this one (Thanks!) and with my 99 Shaman he keeps casting Lupine Spirit II and Spirit of Bih'Li over and over as they overwrite each other. Clicked off UseSow and he stopped but curious if it is something else I can do to stop it and use the SoB since it has attack rating bonus.
- Seller
- #890
I would block spirit of wolf or get the next rank of lupine spirit since that more closely matches the AA you should have at your level and spells available.
if mq2 says they stack and you need it we're gonna cast it. I'll see if i can tune it up so this doesn't happen. We compare speed values and only do lupine spirit if the spell it gives speed is greater or equal to your sow ability.

yeah it still uses group ma - gonn need want that set
I remember doing that for a specific reason early on - but i'll take a look at it

this would be a "common" change for all of the plugins.
we've talked about that I actually want to see if i can make the giant CWTN logo a "pause" button and the image changes when its paused - but that's a long term thing - we don't have any plans on making it one of the small checkboxes at this time, but its not out of the question

Is there a way to prioritize healing over dps? It seems that my idiot shaman is more interested in casting dissident roar, and frostbitten gift and or actually sitting to swap out a spell during times when that cant happen like when im on a zland run. This just happened my warrior is bearly holding on and my shaman thinks its ok to have a sit and load up some spells like talisman of the enduring..... So far ive had to turn off cheetah group shrink regen preincarnation lupine spirit and pet as it seems to have a serious fixation with these items. If I start a fresh group with no buffs it can take 15 minutes for my shaman to buff everyone and heaven forbid I should zone then he wants to rebuff talisman and lupine spirit all over again. Does this have something to do with MQ2buff or something ?
1. Roar is important. Has a heal component
2. Gift is important for the healing twincast. A heal comes immediately after gift
3. Shaman will not buff while there is a aggro mob on xtarget
4. Turn preincarnation back on. This is an ‘auto-heal’ if your tank gets creased.
5. Adjust your RecklessMA percentage higher. Recent changes have occurred to increase heal priority and make it more dynamic
6. While shaman is an alchemist, he cannot turn a shit tank into gold.

it checks heals before dps.
if you're talking about before the last patch - there was an issue if you had a lingering dot on you but needed a buff and were not in combat (no xtargets), then you would buff before checking for a heal. which was fixed and is in the patch notes.
outside of that we absolutely do not memorize spells while we have xtargets.
if you're 115, you should turn off useregen as your dissi line will overwrite it so you will want to sit and rebuff after every fight. This is articulated in the FAQ.
Q. Shaman keeps recasting Regen line (Talisman of the Enduring)?
A. If you are 101+ you shouldn't have UseRegen on - dicho/dissi/composite overwrites your talisman regen line, which will make you recast your regen buff after every fight.
- Seller
- #903
So it sounds like you don't understand how that component of shaman works - I would recommend turning that off once you have any of the progression spell lines - 101+
Many of these have options so you can turn them off if you don't want them to be turned on.
if you don't want to use your pet - turn off pet
if you don't want to use cheetah - turn it off
if you don't want preincarnation, for some reason - turn it off
if you dont' want to shrink - turn off
if you don't want to do sow and lupine - turn off
Many of these have options so you can turn them off if you don't want them to be turned on.
if you don't want to use your pet - turn off pet
/shm usepet offif you don't want to use cheetah - turn it off
/shm usecheetah off (i have bard so i turn mine off)if you don't want preincarnation, for some reason - turn it off
/shm usepreincarnation off. We only check that when we go to check out momorized buffs and spells (meaning downtime with nothing on xtarget, not invis with a camp set, not when there are corpses to rez etc.if you dont' want to shrink - turn off
/shm useshrink offif you don't want to do sow and lupine - turn off
/shm usesow off - otherwise if you don't have them its going to cast them.- Seller

I've posted a few times in various threads, but these are the settings i run with
I have usegrowth turned off because i run an sk usually
useregen off because like i mentioned
i have useslow and usemalo off (but keep the aoe version on) because its not worth the cast time for single mobs imo
I have cheetah and canni turned off
I usually roll in heal stance (which is just the heal loadout) because i don't need the xtra dps - but i have done all 4 missions, repeatedly in all 3 "stances" heal, hybrid, and dps.
(The pink box is edited out for a future update)

if you're having issues on initial engage of something that's going to hard break your nose - you might want to consider manually casting recourse or spectre - and hitting a defensive on your tank.
the automation can't read your mind that you are about to pull a mob that might waste you in a round - it can only react to what its doing. We heal you any time you need healing - but we don't just spam hots and stuff on you 24/7 "just in case"
I don't pre-cast anything for anything almost ever, but your mileage may vary.

sounds like you probably have someone in a weird illusion form that we can't shrink past a certain value - there's no way we can determine what the minimum height something can get shrunk to - so we use "normal" values - if someone is in a weird illusion form it can cause confusion.
if you don't want group shrink on, for that reason - turn it off
/shm useshrink offLove this plugin only issue i have seen is it spams the summon companion AA in battle causing the pet to disengage. This only happens when using a merc tank and no true main assist designated in the party. I tried many different settings to try to change this but is there a chance that maybe the summon companion part could be a toggle since the AA is such a short recast it is not a huge deal to click the button just I miss having dog dog fight when I don't have a true main assist fighting. When it is a real main assist it does not have this issue at all.
Something to also remember is that with the poor programming of EQ. Unless you are required to shrink. Large toons have an easier time moving over steps and are less likely to get hung up on obstacles.

we don't care who/what we're assisting for purposes of using summon companion - we use this if we've set our pet in on something and its not attacking (which is why it happens at the start of all combat, because eq is so slow to update that it has a target) - its to try and "reposition" the pet which helps avoid the eq bug where your pet will be under the ground and unable to attack the mob.
this isn't going to be a toggle item - and i don't believe this is what is happening.
it actually sounds like your pet is getting backed off due to no main assist target like you not having a main assist assigned, and you not targetting a valid target for your pet to fight - if/when that happens we back it off.
I would suggest using a valid main assist and/or accept that if you are the mainassist - if you start targetting other stuff we're going to back your pet off
Gotcha SIC thanks for the fast response thought I was doing something wrong or had something set up wrong. Guess I gonna have to make a tank and not use my merc for DOG DOG when I am the main healer
not a big deal was just making sure I was not totally messed up 
Once again thanks for the speedy response.- Seller

you're welcome - its one of those things where we don't ever want dog dog to be the reason why things went sidewaysGotcha SIC thanks for the fast response thought I was doing something wrong or had something set up wrong.

this may sound stupid, but you are tagging the merc with the group main assist role, correct?
Having buffing conflict between Mage and Shaman buffing mage's Pet. Causing the Mage to continually keep trying to buff his pet. Shamans spell is the SoW line. been trying to find the link for blocking spells but seems every post made just mentions and doesn't give a link to HOW. Please pass me a link for How To. Hoping Blocking Shamans spell will take care of this. Otherwise I just will remove the buff form the Mage's ini. Thanks
No I want to block the Shamans SoW / Bhi Li, mage can buff his own pet. There was away SIC showed it in his vids but I can't remember which one, also can't remember if was kiss usable or just cwtn, I also not running L100+ toons

mercs can't be main assist - they can be tank, but not assist.
Oh man that’s not even the same buffs I mentioned.
It’s part of the combo focus buff.
Sorry
