MQ2Shaman

Plugin - MQ2Shaman 3.1.52471.11

I keep them low on all toons, and typically just me + NPC. HOWEVER, every so often, DBG takes it upon themselves to reset EVERYTHING. Not just spell effects, but "click through me", auto turn off tributes, mouse inverted axis, etc etc etc. Even the play music when start up!

I'm just to the point where I change it on the toon(s) I drive on, and deal with it when I have to go to the other toons for stuff. I am sure others are in the same boat, especially those that play 6, 12 or up to 54 toons. Can't imagine what that would be like, but I'm sure it's that much more annoying having to change settings over and over.
Also fixable. Look around. Not rehashing in this thread about MQ2Shaman. Sorry if I contributed to going off-topic.
 
Mine isn't working. I have to pause and then manually cast it. I must have something off in my settings, I will keep playing with it.
Dunno,.it instantly worked as expected. That section hasn't been changed or adjusted in quite some time.

You're not using an out of date you are you?

I did see in the mq updates that combat state was fixed (mq itself not mq2 shaman) so maybe try again with the patch

I am all up to date. Do I need to have UseRez checked too in order for it to combat rez? Or just UseRezCall? I don't want her to use her rez right now, as I am on a TLP server and don't have 96% yet.

yes, userez has to be on to do rezzing
 
Any Plans to have a toggle for Glyphs in the future? Kind of like the stance for shaman. I like to use the Arcane one instead for the Destruction one for instance. There are also spots where I would rather use Destruction over Arcane. Its mainly on my priest classes Shm, Clr. Just toss it in the suggestion box if you have one 😉

probably not.

can always turn off glyph usage and just use a hotkey
 
Getting this from upgrading from Rk2 to Rk3. Stopped all Lua's and macros that might of been running, logged out and back in, and this only wants to buff the grp. The whole grp has the buff on, and this only happens in grp, I drop grp on the shaman and it's just fine and not spamming the buff.

Help! <3

nm, it was trying to cast overtop my clr self buff, had to block Rk3 (sha buff) so it would stop getting spammed!

Clr had self Rk3 buff, had Rk2 sha buff blocked. Shaman wanted to cast Rk3 cuz it wasn't blocked but when you block a Rk2 now it also blocks Rk1 and Rk3 but the bot will try and cast Rk3 since it's not blocked.

I wish this stuff was easier than it really is!

Yep unfortunately MQ/EQ stacking isn't perfect.

For >us< you have to block the specific thing with rank. There are times when you want something specific
 
is there a way to make this stop casting or just never use Dampen resistance?
we only use that when burning - so you could not be burning.

These are how you would be burning:
- burnalways
- burnallnamed and fighting a named
- burncount with your xtarget numbers being at or greater than your burncount
- issued a burnnow

This is a pretty unusual request - is there a specific reason? (im guessing you want to save it for later?)

as a general rule of thumb, for "burn" type items that are fewer than 10 mins reuse (in current game), we don't usually have a toggle - without some incredible argument for doing so, this won't be something that has a toggle
 
well, i honestly havent had anything resist when playing manually in years. insta malo, slow, and we're good. Just seems like an extra speed bump and an outdated function for the time being.
 
ust seems like an extra speed bump
well it is placed in the routine appropriately - it isn't just willy nilly
outdated function for the time being.
/shrug - eq has a lot of that - if you ever did a deep dive on spells/aas, some shit just doesn't make any good sense

I imagine that you don't perceive the need for it because focus of arcanum is up like 6mins out of a 10 min reuse - we would also use them early, and then they're up for long duration abilities

what should likely happen is spacing them out - while they're not the same value of resistance modification, dampen is substantially stronger - and it would mean "some" resistance modification with like 30s without

but yeah, other than the potential spacing them out, don't plan on it being a toggle or anything
 
Is there a way to turn off the Cripple line of spells? I am leveling right now and its pulling a massive amount of agro. Also (I am sure its my settings) right now at lvl 60, the Shammy healing is very hit and miss if it even casts a heal. Any recommendations at this lower levels?

you can/should byos if you dont like the loadout. unfortunately at that level range/era they weren't designed (everquest) to be a "solo healer" we think of them as in the modern era.

you'll want to ensure you adjust your MendingMA value as the default for MA and nonMA is both 60.

I personally turn off single slow/malo because the "business" of shamans.

healing is checked *waaay* before we decide to cripple.

i imagine that byos/byos-custom and adjusting your MendingMA would fix you up

Thanks Sic, I will tinker a bit
 
After the most recent update it appears that the mage strength of earth and shaman Spirit of might are in conflict. Blocking either on all pets (which is where the conflict seems to stem from) will not stop the issue with either the mage and the shaman repeatedly casting theirs. I had to block them from both the players and the pets in order to get it to stop. Not sure if this is intended behavior or not but I don't recall it happening previously.

howdy dbuff - that sounds frustrating

nah, nothing has changed here - at least nothing that mq2shaman is doing specifically.

those lines have *always* had an issue, even up into the latter levels when you get "Mammoth's force" from your unity spells --- the STStr line *is* the mammoth's force line (mammoth's force is just not a spell you can memorize).

it has always been an issue so much that it has been in the FAQ for *years*

Q. I am having an issue with a Mage Aura and Shaman Unity line.
A. The Mammoth's Force line from the shaman's focus line of spells and the Mage Aura don't stack. If your aura fades, or your pet gets out of range of the aura your shaman is going to say "woah, we're missing 1 part of this buff, and then cast it on your pet. I recommend if you run around with a mage, to block the appropriate Mammoth's Force for your version of STFocus - at 115 that would be "Mammoth's Force III", blocking "Mammoth's Force" wouldn't be correct in this instance.


Unfortunately, there are spells that eq/mq don't handle well, either due to incorrect stacking or just flat out incorrect spell information
 
So, what you are saying is RTFM :). Seriously I did... but on the mage side of the equation. My bad man, appreciate the knowledge transfer regardless.

I'm sure you're joking, because I would have said that if it was I meant to say :p and not only did I give a much larger explanation, but I also went and double checked all the things I said :p

There's a rumor that there an aura revamp in the upcoming xpac, which would be pretty cool
 
I may have found a low level issue. I am running a Pal, SHM, BRD, Mag x3 group. The shaman keeps casting Spirit of Might (level 67) on his pet over and over. I put all of the other characters on pause and then I removed all buffs from the pet. The only buff on the pet was Earthen strength. So I blocked both Earthen strength on the pet and Spirit of might on the pet. So the pet has absolutely no buffs on him or bard songs. The shaman keeps spamming Spirit of might. He gets a message that says: You have attempted to cast Spirit of MIght on Zabann but the effect is currently blocked.

If this isn't a bug, please help!

Yes, I read the post from above mine and I attempted to do these things.
So I blocked both Earthen strength on the pet and Spirit of might on the pet.

Yes, I did what I thought was what you indicated in the post. I blocked Earthen Strength spell, Earthen Strength Effect in the pets blocked buffs. These are the mage versions of what you mentioned above. I ALSO blocked Spirit of Might, which is what I think the Mammoth's Force version for shaman at my level. I blocked all 3 of them, but the shaman still spams Spirit of Might. At my level, there are not ranks of spells yet.

send me a pm with a: the mq2shaman window showing it is casting Spirit of Might (and on whom), and then show me the blocked spell list (with names showing) on the respective thing.


We don't cast something that someone has blocked,

if bilbo had "cool sauce" blocked, we wouldn't cast "cool sauce" on bilbo
if bilbo had "cool sauce" blocked on bilbo`s pet buffs we wouldn't cast "cool sauce" on bilbo`s pet
 
Ennui and Lioness are not casting.
  • The spells are not missing and are highlighted green under info -> spells.
  • The spells are memorized.
  • I've tried changing to healer, hybrid, and BYOS.
  • I've rotated the MA/MT, Ennui will only cast on the shaman itself.
  • Ensured raidmode is off.
  • Restarted, reformed group, reloaded plugin.
  • Burnmode activates aid, spire, epic, but i dont see Lioness or Ennui
  • spell line is not buff blocked.
  • On same computer

The shaman seems to be doing the rest of what's expected pretty normally and reacts accordingly to any other changes made.

does it do other buffing on other toons (direct single target buffs), because it sounds like an issue with not being able to see your other toons - you mentioned "same computer" which is good, but it also requires same mq directory, not in a situation where your config/settings are getting sync'd or filescanned upon change.

Ennui, we load in heal/hybrid, it doesn't change behavior for ennui based on those. Burn has nothing to do with Ennui. We only do this during downtime while we don't have xtargets we do it both on our group MA as well as our raidma if in raidmode (will do both). it does require we "see" them in buffs, and that it isn't blocked, and mq reports that it stacks with their current spells

Lioness we only do if we have xtargets - I'm curious, are you usemelee on or off I could see not using lioness if usemelee was off (which is not on purpose, so i'll fix that)
 
I searched and searched for this, but can't find it. Is there a way to disable Disempower like there is a way to disable slows? I have a low level shaman (level 14) and it is running him out of mana.

I had tried toggling useMelee, but that did not work either.

It's fixed but i'm not quite sure what fixed it. It was either an entire computer restart, or removing my group's MA/MT from the xtar window. The shaman has been playing well, thanks!

OKies
 
It is saying I am missing this spell but I can't seem to find it on any vendor and it isn't in the Rk. II list.

Any idea where to get it from?
