Question - Pet attacking/assisting puller?

[NDJits]

I am currently running 4 mages/tank/bard.

I am using the tank to pull at the moment and my hope was that my pets would attack the tanks target. Instead, everyone stands around with their thumbs in their asses. Im not sure what to make of it. I tried researching the issue here and even set the mages to pet tanks, but their pets simply stand there. I have PetOn = 1, if they dont have pets, they will summon them, but they simply do not sent their pets in to attack.

Sorry guys, I hate to post shit like this, I feel like I should be able to find the answer and with a bit more research I might, but its back to the books for a test tomorrow.

[Meistro]

did that solve it then?

 

[NDJits]

Nah, that was the INI file as it was already setup and /melee returns the results you are suggesting.

 

[Meistro]

ok, next step....1st RESTART your computer. I find that many times just rebooting the computers, relogging in char and restarting MQ2 does alot to solve some quirks...
Then. make sure you are targeting your pullertanks/MA when you start KA. If everything is as it should be, it SHOULD work.....
IF it doesn't the only other suggestion I can make is delete your MQ2 folder, make a new one and redownload all of the stuff (basically start from scratch). After a big patch like that one we just had, sometimes you just need to start clean....

 

[Inkie]

you might also try DPSOn=1. I believe I saw somewhere that sometimes helps remind pets to fight. but I could be wrong.

You know, he might have a point, maybe you need to set it up, so the mages do something to put them on the mobs HATE list...It might just take that to get them to instigate a fight ....

 

[NDJits]

Sounds good, I will give all this a shot. Thanks guys. I'll let ya know how it works out, but the servers are down atm and I will be gone for the weekend. Thank you again for your help.

 

[NDJits]

Ok, so I did a little bit of testing on this and it seems the only way my pet attacks is if my mage melees. Is there any way to get around this? I would assume casting a pell as well might work, but id rather my mages just sit there and let my SK take the dmg and assist with their pets. I am backing my SK with my druid, so it easier to just have him as my focus rather then chancing the mages drawing agro.

 

[Meistro]

How about you put DPSOn=1 and put a spell into onr of the slots there for mages to cast.. It might just be that the mage needs to get itself on the hate list before its pets will attack..

 

[Maskoi]

I will check this tonight when I get home. We are releasing 8.4 in the next day or 2 so it will be fixed regardless.

 

[ctaylor22]

I would just set DPSOn=1 and then setup 1 DPS Spell like DPS1 to debuff the mob with the Once qualifier. DPS1=Debuff Spell|99|Once. That should work for now.

 

[Maskoi]

Also check your ini files under PET and make sure

PetCombatOn=1

not

PetCombatOn=outer

 

[riot]

CampRadius.

If your tank isn't running back within that range of 30 then your mage won't engage. The pets attack when in melee range because they're within that range of 30. Set the range higher or make sure your warrior pulls the mobs on top of the mages and make sure all of your bots are parked close to each other.

 

[NDJits]

Thanks Riot and Maskoi. Good chance Riot thats the issue. I bet I have them parked to far away

this is the case for my mage. I took all the casting out of this for all my classes b/c it was more trouble than it's worth for me. I have to hit my assist hotkey to make my casters assist and for pets to attack now.
