I was the same, but when I actually updated it took longer to watch Sic's video on how to do it than it took to actually update and everything worked great immediately.

Agree with this. @Knightly's Migration Tool made it super easy. My biggest (and really only) gotcha was realizing I still had my old ini's open in notepad++ and not the new ones in the Next directory when tried to edit them.

So far the mq2shaman plugin is excellent! I have to wonder if there is a way to solve the issue of it always resetting to default when I log out and back in. For example, I often do not want group shrink or cheetah on, so I uncheck those boxes. However, each time I log back in, it has reset to default. This is a similar situation for setting the percent to use spells. Is there a way for it to remember the most recent changes between logging out and back in? Is is as simple as modifying the .ini file for each character or some master shaman .ini? Thank you for the replies.

When I try to change the mode/stance from Manual to anything else (Assist for example), it give some error about not having nav working and suggests two commands to run. The first runs fine, but the second will not. I don't think I have the nav files in the right place or setup properly. I let it do a full nav file compilation (took about 3 minutes to do over 500 zones). It's probably something simple that I've overlooked, but this error also pops up when trying to use follow me or come to me commands.

In next your nav files don't go in the same place. They go in Resources\MQ2Nav
You using MQNext or legacy?
Next theres a walkthrough Sic did about it. you need to DL the mq2nav updater

That question was already answered. It was in the link I posted.

that sounds like old legacy mq2 - which the launcher can update the meshes for you
make sure to check the > RedGuides New User Videos <
Which is also mentioned in the FAQ. The FAQ is always a good place to check for questions
Q. Trying to go mode 1 but says I need a mesh?
A. The plugins require mq2nav for movement. You will need to run the mesh updater in your RedGuide's Launcher. Please watch the video > HERE <

Depends on what you're expecting the shaman to do.
You can use XTargetHealing and XTargetBuffing and add the characters you'd like to heal/buff to your XTarget.
Buffing requires the character you're helping is run on the same PC as the shaman.

I think this started yesterday...or I just noticed it yesterday. I got my 1.5 epic on my shaman. He uses that just fine. But since I got it, he's been using the Time's Antithesis from PoT. Which would be fantastic, except he's constantly casting it on my toons that I put on his Xtarget list for heals/buffs. (Same pc). He also occassionally uses it on the mobs
As far as I knew, there was nothing set to use the slow stick. Has anything changed?

show me your addclickies, because we don't use that item normally, to use it on a player you would have to add it to an addclick that was super weird.

i literally said how in my responseOk. I gotta figure out how to list them. But this is a new problem. Just startedIf I ever added it to the addclicky's it was a couple months ago
/shm showclickieswe certainly didn't add anything to be auto used, and we haven't changed any of our addclicky stuffs either outside of not requiring autoattack to be on for offensive clicky --- so maybe this? which is why we had the autoattack requirement in the first place - but we can just check the target type instead if this is the issue
that's why i want to see where it is added, It might be swapping to heal, then offensive clicky going off

Ok, it's under Offensive. Yeah, you sure did. I completely skipped over that. I'll watch the shaman a little bit more and see. I posted after watching him spam it on my monk 5x
*edit* This is the first time since I got the plugin, which was probably in Nov, that he's actually using the Time's Antithesis period. He's never used it as an offensive clicky. Also, I noticed looking back he was spamming it while also memming counteract poison to cure Tash.
Not the end of the world if I can't figure it out. Can always remove the clicky

no, plus you should setup framelimiter if you haven't and then it is a non-issue.
unless you're somehow saying that your toons are locking up in the background due to some computer issue - in which case, anything could happen

you don't manually download anything.
you use the launcher to update your files which appears you figured out after posting this, because you were trying to manually download the legacy mq2 shaman instead of letting the launcher download and place the correct file.
looks like you're all sorted now

Shaman does infinite "cannidance" when setting mode assist.
Since serveral days I can't leave "assist" mode on.
No dubious plugin running nor any mac as far as I know.
Even no aggro on extended target window, the shaman attempts to use clickies like twice per second.
It could be a clicke set for dps orelse the feather for manareg or any other.

it is likely due server lag where the item is taking too long to show that you're casting a spell, and thus we sit you down because you have exceeded our timer to stay "i'm standing but i'm not doing anything, sit me back down". I'd recommend trying a mode other than assist - maybe chase/vorpal that only sits you down when your MA sits.
otherwise, you might want to take things out of downtime until your server isn't so laggy
we might have to adjust our delay to do so if the servers are going to have this kind of lag issue

cure seems to be working now when i turned on framelimiter , which i gotta say i love , ! only thing that happened since then , shaman seems to be a tad slower on healing , does this mean i have background to low ? or something ? my warrior is max aa 500k hp buffed 10500 / 3900 buffed... ? he should be plenty fine to tank with a shaman pulling ?

frame limiter should have 0 negative impact on anything, but yes, you absolutely want frame limiter running.
i go over it in the various next videos > here < and > here <
I run shaman as my main healer for my main group and have 0 issues with healing when heals are supposed to fire

there isn't really a use for that in the current game. once we get our third reckless, we no longer memorize it.
you can always byos if you want to use some custom spell loadout, an option to load counterbias, sorry, but no

Is there a way to disable the Spirit of the Leopard line of buffs? My crew is level 65 and casting this on everyone every 60 seconds makes for a slow night.
I'm pretty sure the answer is use BYOS but I want to make sure I'm not missing something.

Ty for the fast reply. Chase is suboptimal in m y setting, as the ma is the puller.
Will check to understand if vorpal would do for me.
I understand, that you are going to change something, in order to fix it.
My workaround actually is to switch the shaman off/on between fights.
Can do that for some more days, feel already better, as I understand you have a clue about the reason and there's going to be an solution.
A view minutes ago I did "shei Vintras". While inside the ini, all worked as expected, no "cannidance".
After the fight I went into the guildlobby. Nothing on aggro, but "cannidance" started ... this time in mode "manual" while I was trying to get a screenshot to show that the clickies are from the section "offensive Clickies"

I dont know if it's of any importance, but the clickies the shamy attemts to cast are out of the section "Offensive Clieckies" when cannidance starts. That happens always in moments, when there is nothing aggroed.it is likely due server lag where the item is taking too long to show that you're casting a spell, and thus we sit you down because you have exceeded our timer to stay "i'm standing but i'm not doing anything, sit me back down".
