Question - Named mobs that you don't want to burn

[csblake50]

I'm working on my HoT hunter achievement.
I've been able to kill all of the Tier 1 & 2 named mobs with ease, with two exceptions.

-Zonoraz (Casts AE as she goes down in health)
-Head Librarian Matilda (Spawns adds as she goes down in health)

My group composition is:
95 Cle (Generally Manual, but can also automate with kissassist)
94 Enc (Assist)
92 Rng (Assist)
90 Wiz (Assist)
90 Bzk (Assist)
86 Pal (Tank)

How do I slow down the fight and heal from the 1st AE, before I trigger 3-5 back to back AEs?
Is there a way to kill all adds first & the named last? or at least get the first batch of adds under control before keep spawning them?

I recently came out of EQ retirement & have been using this for about a month now.
It's a whole new game & an absolute blast.

Howdy CsBlake! good morning

if you're asking about how to not fire burn in kissassist on certain mobs - there's no way to do that - you could turn burns off and then manually burn which mobs you want to burn with the /bcaa //burn kiss burn trigger

If you're asking on how to do the fight - that I can't help you with

In each kiss.ini there’s an entry that says something like “burnallnamed” ... turn that off. Then, go into your kiss info.ini and enter the names of the mobs from HoT you DO want to automatically burn. It’ll still burn on those as soon as you engage.

You can then do like @Sicprofundus mentioned and use the /burn command to force a burn at the appropriate time on the mobs you want.

Thank you for the fast responses it is appreciated.
A couple follow up questions.

Is there a command I can give to my tank to have him aquire a new target?

Is there a command similar to the mercenary Aggressive/Passive?
I figure maybe if I can pause my DPS characters, but not the tank or enc, it would give me a chance to heal before triggering the next wave of AE damage.

In KA 11.004 you can add this to the [Melee] section of your INI which will allow you to change targets if you wish

TargetSwitchingOn=1

Then you would do a /switchnow on your toons to reacquire the MA's target

I use this button since I run kiss and mq2berzerker - this tells my crew to pick up my new target I have

Page5Button1Line1=/bca //target id ${Target.ID}
Page5Button1Line2=/bca //switchnow

You can also pause any toon with a /mqp (which is a toggle --- you can also /mqp on and /mqp off
if you re using eqbc or dannet you could issue a command to each of the toons you want to pause, to pause --- and then issue another command later to unpause them

Thank you again for the help!
I was able to beat the librarian with those tweaks.
(It wasn't pretty but it worked, now to refine things!)
