so since this morning the shaman will not sit down. i did not change anything other than do an update this morning. Yester day it was working fine however so much sure what changed

View attachment 77634
in assist mode we sit after combat (no mobs on xtarget) - we go back to our camp and then sit back down.

there's no setting or anything here that would change that - I would make sure you didn't set your camp floating up in the air with levitation

would make sure you dont have mobs on xtarget

do a /makemefall then /shm resetcamp and see if it sits

also deleting your image since you have toon names in it
 
I think i might have figured it out. Form of great bear i think can mess with it. I started with that on and it wore off. when it wore off he would slow and dot but little else. not sure all the odds and ends but thats what i was able to reproduce the results with.
 
Is it possible for MQ2Shaman (and/or CWTN Class plugins in general) to parse spell did not land (Blocked by another spell) situations in a way where that tells the routine to stop trying to cast that spell on that mob? At level 80, Crippling Spasm is almost always blocked in raid by a chanter's Shattered Consciousness III. Shaman continues to try to land spell until mob is dead. Would adding this be too much work or break other things that CWTN class plugins do? Currently addressing it by unmemming Crippling Spasm from spell gem mid-combat once I'm aware it's not landing. I know I can BYOS, but wasn't sure if adding "stop casting the thing that won't land" is a solution that works for multiple cases across different classes. If it's more work than it's worth, or would have other unintended consequences that are detrimental to how the class plugins work as a whole, I get that and am fine with continuing to fix on the fly. Just curious if this is a possibility.
 
No, that's not something we're doing at this time. There are a whole bunch of reasons for it, but that's just not something we want to do

cripple is an annoying thing - I really dont want it to be a toggle/option/setting because it is used for such a short period of time - byos or byos-custom is the correct choice.
 
have 5 shaman in raid each is spam casting different unity's on cwtn plugin live server cant stop them
Well
Until you determine what the cause is, you can just byos them.

From the faq

Q. Shaman is chain casting something?
A. There are a few lower lvl / mid level buffs that eq/mq reports stack that do not, or will chain overwrite other buffs and you get into a buffing contest with another toon. You either have this situation, 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. This is a built in everquest feature - right click on the buff and "add this spell to list of blocked spells" or go through the eq menu -> character -> blocked buffs

EQ Menu -> Character -> Blocked Buffs
EQ Menu -> Character -> Blocked Pet Buffs (to add to anyone's pet blocked spells)

/blockspell add me id
/blockspell add pet id

This is particularly a problem with the focus line, especially if you have a large level gap between the shm and your bst/clr (particularly if your shm is lower than the bst/cleric) - you can run into issues where mq2 says that it will stack, but then your armor of line will not actually allow it. Or the Wulthan Focusing portion of Talisman of the Wulthan doesn't stack with the cleric Armor of ___ line, so you need to block "Wulthan Focusing Rk. III" on your cleric, if you do the Rk. III it will block all ranks from you.
 
no lvl gap all 130 max aa
you'll want to determine what the conflict is, and then rectify that.

Who is it trying to cast it upon?
What eq error messages are you getting in your eq window?
what spells do they have blocked? are there any that may conflict with the unity line of spells

did you have a chance to read the reply i gave you? because you can byos until you sort it out so you don't have them all just spamming

fortunately there are no ranks for the "modern" unity spells, so it won't be a matter of a rk II conflicting with a rk III etc.

These are the spells that unity is casting - you are likely getting an eq red colored error message saying something isn't stacking. or some other message. You might also have something *weird* added to your blocked list on the toon(s)? that are getting spam buffed --- we specifically only check for the spell we're trying to cast as far as blocked buffs go, but if you blocking a different rank of something *might* affect the other rank of it landing
Cast: Mammoth's Unity
Cast: Preeminent Unity
Cast: Spirit's Focusing XIV
Cast: Spirit of Fortitude XVIII
Cast: Celeritous Unity


is it a mage?

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.

Q. I don't want the plugin to cast xyz buff on a toon.
A. Any buff you don't want cast upon someone, you would just have that character add it to their blocked buffs.

howdy killerclown sorry to hear that - you are probably getting a red eq error message telling you what the reason for it is
