MQ2Shaman

Plugin - MQ2Shaman 3.1.52471.11

Figured it out... Buffme All On shammy cleric and Chanter works perfect. Use /buffme UI and it brings up the UI to set how you want it to work. BUT it appears our man Sic has it sorted already. BUffme all on cleric gives Aego. It appears saying symbol instead of all doesnt work. So you will need to know the specific name of the symbol spell you are requesting from that level toon.

mq2shaman patch notes.
1701145298357.png
 
I do not know if it's related to this plugin or it's MQ but for me 2 random crashes today on Shm and Rog since last MQ update
Have not seen any crashes come through for the plugins. Plenty of eq crashes unrelated, however.

You likely have 30-60 plugins loaded and a misc amount of luas and such on top of existing eq crashes.

If you have a crashid I'm happy to look at it, but don't think it is related to the cwtn plugins
 
New to using plugin and im and having an issue with the healing on the sham sometimes, I have Sham/Bard(i control as MA))/SK/zerker. Sometimes the sham will just let me SK die, ill even flip over to the screen and the sham is doing nothing but standing in bear form not even targeting anyone. I set the bard to puller and main assist and the SK to Tank. They are all lvl 70/. I have mending set to 90 just so i can try and keep them topped off. Please help

we don't really have anything that would "standing there not targeting anyone"

you're going to want to set your tank to MA so we treat it as the MA :) as a "this is because this is how it has always been" type of convention, you'll see the MA is who we treat as the most important person.

if you don't have your SK set as MA, they're treated as a generic toon in your group

you might consider huntertanking with your sk, and having everyone else in chasemode - pulling to a static camp with the group you have less likely less xp than otherwise.

this is also a problem if your bard is out wandering around doing stuff. you should let your tank be MA and let your shaman do stuff with it, since that is how it is designed and intended.

keep in mind, shaman do struggle as solo healers until they start getting reckless heals and some of their other utility at 100+
 
Thanks, This usually happens when I am trying to complete quests, not just farming. Since there isnt an MQbard, i put the gang on chase and i have them all follow the bard that i control.
 
I have spent a fair amount of time searching for this question to no avail, so I figured I would ask. Is there a way to change my Shaman loadout to DPS from my SK? He is running mq2eskay if that helps/matters.
 
I am sure somebody can type up the long command, but can use sic's hotkeys (and multi other ones) to remote adjust CWTN settings by name, class, group, raid. I have a remote hotkey at home i can share, but somebody can chime in before im off work i am sure.

^ that has hotkey guide and stickies etc



you would use eqbc or dannet and /bct shamanname //shm loadout 2 or /dex shamanname /shm loadout 2
 
Thank you! I must have missed it or messed up the syntax when I tried it. That example is very helpful and should help me with other hotkeys. I appreciate it.

I can confirm, It is something the sham doesnt like about the SK, I tried setting it up per your inputs above. I had SK set as Tank Puller in the plugin and everyone else set to assist. If the group setting i had the SK set as Tank and Main assist and puller. I also turned off everything else the sham could be doing, he laterally should only be casting Avatar, Panther, and Ancient Wilsilks. So he only job is to spam that heal, i have it set to mending 90because my tank is a little weak. But he just wont heal. I have him up on another screen and he isnt doing anything. even when the fight ends he wont even top off.

Maybe its something with my setting, I don't run any other plugins except for the SK and Zerker and I dont have kissassist.

Ancient wilsilks mending? Ill see if there's something wrong with that, but we haven't changed anything with our mending usage.

Please make sure to check the "how to ask for help" thing so enough information is provided.

Sorctim didn't, nor followed up afterwards, which makes it doubly impossible to provide assistance, clarification, or try and fix anything that needs fixing.

So now you've said the heal, I can check if I can replicate it - but if it is something we say we use, we should use it

checking all my shammies - I don't think i have any with the ancient spell. checking other mending like yoppa's mending (70) and Ahnkaul's Mending (73) both work as expected.

We don't have anything in the healing code that would return or yield - so the described behavior is curious.

if you set your mendingma and/or mendingnotma to 99, and then just do things like take off your bp and put it back on, it instantly heals with the 2 above-mentioned mendings (when those are the spells the plugin says)

Possibly a silly question, if I put my Shammy in Hunter Tank mode he doesn't cast anything just melees. Only lvl 45 so I'm wondering if he will cast slows/dots later in HT mode?

Edit: He will heal himself if he drops under heal threshold, just won't cast anything else

Edit 2: It appears it works properly on the first mob it finds when i move it from manual into HT (slows/dots) but every mob after that it just goes into melee only mode

I would check your settings.

All of the plugins definitely do those things.

Cause we assign ourselves group maintank and group main assist and then do those things.

I'll double check it later, and post a screen shot of settings if I don't see anything that looks off. Thanks Sic!

How do i have him ignore Ancient and use yoppa? The sham auto loads Ancient so i didnt think there would be an issue?

Be sure to check out the FAQ for the resource you're interested in using. Keep in mind the character will only use the spell you replace another spell with if it is listed at startup. You can unload and load the plugin to get a list of all the spells.

well like i mentioned I don't know if there is an issue with ancient specifically, I just tested the adjacent mending spells - none of my many shammies have that ancient spell, so I can't show you directly or check that spell directly - but i did show you steps to demonstrate if it is working as expected

as chat mentioned we only use the spell the plugin says we do - so in this instance, there is no way to not use ancient.

you didn't say "yeah so i set my mending values to 99, and i did the bp thing like you mentioned and it did/didn't work"

if you didn't check the "how to ask for help" thing i said, please make sure to do so.

cwtn and i certainly want to help you - but ya gotta meet us halfway

Checked again this morning and same thing is happening, these are my settings...I'm sure I'm probably overlooking something.

you haven't really given much information to go buy, please make sure to check the "how to ask for help" thing in our sticky.

Please see >>> Getting Started with CWTN plugins! (Movement, UI Window, Clickies, Pulling, ETC) Check Here First! <<<


"check your settings" isnt' a "please post screen snip of your settings"

it is a "does your settings line up with what you expect"

as in - you have dotmanamin at 40 --- so if you're below 40 mana you won't dot
you have "dothp" at 30, so if the mob is below 30 you won't dot it.

etc

I mentioned about group main tank and group main assist - but you didn't confirm/deny "yep i'm group main tank and group main assist" or "ah, no someone in pok is group ma"

Yes, it puts me as group MT/MA, it's just me and a rogue merc in group. I'm at full mana because he does nothing but melee. It will hunt down the mobs run up and melee only. Not sure what else you want here, I'm telling you exactly what's happening. I go into HT mode, he runs up and melees and doesn't cast a spell unless someone(himself/pet) drops below health threshold for heals.

c'mon azcardfan, tryin to help you bud.

https://www.redguides.com/community/threads/how-to-request-help-halp-meh-xyz-isnt-working.77672/ "not sure what else you want here" leads me to believe the thing i asked you to check out a couple times you skipped.

so let's back up here and i'll just make you a list of things you can fill out so then i can come back and help you.

- what spells do you have loaded, I need them by name.
- what spells are you expecting that it cast on your target that is not, i need them by name.
- are you missing any spells available to you, if so I need them by name.
- what zone are you hunting in
- do you have anything that i wouldn't expect, like amulet of necropotence (or another item that might make you not the actual race that your character is --- old illusions can do this) or mounted
- are you using mq2autosize and you're a grain of rice so you never have line of sight on the mobs?
- is there any output in your mq2shaman window that might indicate what is happening, if so what?
- are you receiving any spam in your everquest error red dialog that might indicate an issue, if so what?
- is there any reason to think that despite being full health/mana MQ might not think you are? do you have a buggy UI? are you using the new EQ ui (would suggest turning it off in general)
- a 300 campradius is ridiculous and outside of casters for raids, or extreme circumstances, it is entirely unnecessary. you should stick to something closer to 60 or 80

Sorry for the poor formatting. FYI, I have or have owned all (i think) the CWTN plugins, and have for well over a year on many. This is the first time I've tried doing HT on a pure caster but have done it on Pal, War, SK, Mnk, Rogue and never ran into an issue with them not using abilities so this is new to me

I imagine your issue is your autoassist value - can you change that to 100 (you can leave all your toons that all the time unless you specifically dont want that). hrm no - if your attack is on we don't care.

I can't see what your issue might be. I have a little shaman out here using those spells doing what i expect it to do when i expect it to do it

I tried the autoassist value, no change. I'm going to reload the plugin and see if it was just something funky. (reload didn't make a difference)

Also, just for info purposes...if I switch to manual mode mid fight, it starts casting everything I expect it to

If I have "UseMalo" on, it will initiate all the fights with that, but won't cast anything else
If I have "UseMelee" off, it will Malo and just stand there while my merc beats it up

think we found the problem.

thanks for walking through it

will be fixed next update
 
Awesome, thanks Sic!
basically, the caster classes work differently than the non-melee focused caster classes, cleric and shaman were missing a check for huntertank, so it was using their distance from where they initially started huntertank mode, instead of using themselves

Ah, then that makes sense why it would work properly on the first mob it finds if it's close enough
 
Since the latest update from tonight for the plugin, I seem to be stuck in a loop on the Shammy. Keeps popping between two spells in slot 4 and just keeps memming and unmemming those two spells. If it helps, he's currently level 79.

try memming one of those in a diff gem slot that doesn't get something put in it automatically w/ byos then turning off byos and see how it reacts

ive also noticed that it likes to keep crippling spasm memmed but it never uses it in combat

the thing that you're quoting was patched. I'll look at cripple usage
