Hello all, I just recently started playing EQ and MQ2 after about 6 year break, some things are very familiar and some things aren't so I have some questions I hope you can help me with. Right now I am using a level 70 BST and level 67 Wiz with 2 Mercs.

-1, Last night I made several corrections to my wizards biggest nuke lowering the percentage to 40% but he would still cast it before the mob was at 40%
-2, When i enter damage spells or buffs is it case sensitive and do i need to include special characters example, "Flame of E'ci"
-3, Also for "ancient" spells do I need to use "Ancient: Frost Strike" or just "Frost Strike"?
 
1. Do you have DPSOn=1 or 2?
2. Not case sensitive
3. spells have to be their complete and full name
 
dpson=2 cast all spell in order you want DPsOn=1 to cast by mob health. Post your dps section here
 
Did you get your MQ2 updated for the patch? Let me know if you need a better guide.
 
I'm at work so ill update it when i get home tonight, should be easy though but ill let you know.
As far as my spells that wont cast its because i was using dps2 instead of dps1 but there's still a couple spells that wont cast but i think i have them typed wrong, ill adjust them when i get home.

My BST wont cast "Ancient Savage Ice"
[DPS]
DPSOn=2
DPSSkip=15
DPSInterval=1
DPS1=Ancient:Savage Ice|95
DPS2=Trushar's Frost|95
DPS3=Festering Malady|95|Once
DPS4=Diregriffon's Bite|95|Once
DPS5=Null

And my Wiz wont Draught of e'ci
[DPS]
DPSOn=1
DPSSkip=20
DPSInterval=3
DPS1=Draught of Thunder|90
DPS2=Draught of e'ci |85
DPS3=Flaming Sword of Xuzl|95
DPS4=Atol's Spectral Shackles|50
DPS5=Tears of Marr|75
DPS6=White Fire|40
DPS7=NULL
 
Should be Ancient: Savage Ice I'd think, you need a space after the colon. Might want to increase your dps interval to more like 10, could be trying to cast too fast and not waiting on spell gems to refresh.

Should be a capital E in Draught of E'ci too
 
DPS1=Ancient:Savage Ice|95
DPS2=Trushar's Frost|95
DPS3=Festering Malady|95|Once
DPS4=Diregriffon's Bite|95|Once

you have everything firing at 95% that can confuse things sometimes all ways better to have 5% gap in every one
Rich (BB code): 
DPS1=Ancient:Savage Ice|95
DPS2=Trushar's Frost|90
DPS3=Festering Malady|85|Once
DPS4=Diregriffon's Bite|80|Once
 
This may or not be helpful but KA7 is going to release this week and in the feature list there is a command that will take your characters currently equipped spell gems and enter those into your codes so it will be a lot easier to setup. Also there is a "spell checker" feature too. It wont help today but maybe in a day or two will be a huge help.
 
Thanks for all the input fellas :)
I got Ancient Savage Ice to work but still no luck with the Wiz nuke, i did adjust everything to cast 5% apart and extended the interval time. Not that big a deal since i assume ill upgrade the spell anyway and yes that KA7 feature will indeed be nice.

Thanks again for all the input,
Had another question for you guys, Do you all mostly bot full groups or partial groups and use Mercs?
I currently just have my BST and WIZ but will be adding a Mage soon, I just wondered if its worth filling out the rest of my group with real toons or just using Mercs.
I guess my goal would be to see as much as possible and be able to do some end game dungeons.
 
I see your problem...

DPS2=Draught of e'ci |85 <- Notice the extra SPACE after E'ci? That's probably fubaring it.
 
I bot a full group. Mercs are good, but nothing is better than real characters setup properly.
 
What do you guys think about this group?
Not sure witch way to go with heals, Kinda want a shaman but i have a 70 cleric that i'd just have to transfer, although leveling a new toon wouldn't be too bad.

SK
BST
WIZ
ENCH
MAGE
Cleric/SHM

the shaman wont keep a group geared SK up through the tougher named fights. maybe with raid gear

So you need a raid geared SK to do group content or just better healing? I am asking cause I also have an SK, I have a cleric healer and a druid backup healer though =)
 
You should be fine with a shaman healer.

If you are at the keys with your SK then when you pull multiples you should be clicking epic to ease the heals needed and throwing in some taps.
