This is VERY interesting.... all my tests so far with the 101+ spells worked.. with exception of spells that I had already purchased the focus AA on.
Wish I could take back an aa purchase... and test functionality of the spell without the aa focus... This could be the catalyst that is causing spells to not fire for 101+ spells.
Have to look into this..... but might just be the root cause....

YES.. please....
0) Turn on degug in kissassist.
1) Take any lvl 101+ spell that has a focus line to it... cast the spell in DPS section WITHOUT purchasing the focus aa for it...
--- Does it fire correctly ( check spelling and use /kisscheck command in game to ensure no erors in spelling ) ...
--- If it fired correctly in battle... THEN do this.
1) Purchase aa focus for that specific spell line.
2) REDO the casting .... does it now FAIL after the aa purchase???????
Please copy and paste the debug info for the spell if it fails to cast after aa focus purchase.
It may be trying to cast an AA for the focus name AA on spell instead of the spell. I'm 99.999999999% sure we have the dps and burn section checking AA before spell... so that user casts the aa line of a spell to save mana with free aa cast. If this is the scenario.. and kissassist not casting because it tryint to call the AA focus (which can't actually be cast)... then we might need to make exceptions or change method handling.
But i NEED to see the debug info for the casting BEFORE and AFTER the aa focus purchase.
There are a ton of tiny little changes and bugs that have creeped up due to functionality changes within the eqgame itself... this is making it difficult for us atm.. but we ARE addressing and investigating each issue as it becomes available/reported.
Since I am the only one atm with new expansion testing kissassist and making changes as needed... its a little slow.. I'm only one person and i do have a life outside of EQ/MQ2 .. lol

Hmmm.. trying to look up info if anyway to return the TYPE of aa something is.. as in [General/Archtype/Class/Focus], if there is.. this can be resolved VERY easily with a simple check against aa type.... and conditional coding based upon that.
UPDATE:
Looks like you CAN return the AA type.
/echo ${Me.AltAbility[Banestrike].Type} returns value of 4.. because it is a special aa.. and Special aa is category 4.
General=1
Archtype=2
Class=3
Special=4
Focus=5
So... its a simple fix to resolve this... working on it now... posting asap.

FIXED will no longer attempt to cast [FOCUS] aa for 101+ spells instead of the actual spell itself.
Macro updated for download link.
I NEED SOMEONE TO PLEASE TEST IT!
This will remain open until i have seperate confirmatition it works as intended now for DPS section..
I have checked .. this should also correct any BURN entry issue.. since the actual castwhat section was modified and both DPS and BURN call castwhat to determine casting logic/order.

Ok.. i see the issue now.
My fix prevents CastWhat from casting it as an aa if it is type5 (Focus), however.. the actual spell cast portion of CastWhat is not firing it off...
Have to look it it more after raids....

UPDATE:
Issue is NOT in KissAssist.mac now.
Issue is resolved that it will NOT attempt to call a cast for the aa focus on a spell.
Issue at hand is that the actual CastWhat casting is passed off to Sub MQ2Cast in the mq2cast_spell_routines.inc.
It is seeing in this macro sub function that the called cast is an aa ... and assigning it as an aa cast.
Logic has to be added to ignore focus aa's...
Line needs to be changed to:
I will fix this very soon.
- - - Updated - - -
IMPORTANT:
NOTE: If you have The Darkened Sea expansion, and have purchased any FOCUS aa for a spell line, you MUST upgrade to newest:
KissAssist.mac v7.6.7 and
MQ2Cast_Spell_Routines.inc v3.03
MQ2Cast_Spell_Routines.inc is being included as a separate download in KissAssist thread until it is incorporated into Vanilla Release compile zip by Maskoi.

AWAITING separate confirmation on fix before closing ticket.
Remember.. you MUST get new kissassist and MQ2Cast_Spell_Routines.inc v3.03 for the fix to work!

Thats all that matters... that it now works after you updated kissassist to 7.6.7 and the MQ2Cast_Spell_Routines.inc file.
