Problem - PetPullerTank engage distance is too great

[Sic]

Good afternoon - I am having an issue using PullerPetTank where the mob gets pulled just fine, but the pet is sent so far away that it will sit there and be out of range of the rest of the group. I would like to have the mob closer to the group before engaging.

The issue is the mobs must be slow moving mobs. If you want to get the pet to not attack so soon you will have to find the following lines in the Kissassist.mac file and change the highlighted line to a smaller number.

        /if (${Select[${Role},pullerpettank]}) {
            /if (${DebugPull}) /echo DEBUGPULL role pullerpettank
            /if (${DebugPull}) /echo DEBUGPULL Looks like I am pulling and my pet is tanking.
            /if (${UseMQ2Melee}) /squelch /melee aggro=0
            /varset AssistAt 100
            /varset MeleeOn 0
            /varset PetTanking 1
            /varset PetAttackRange 115
            /varset ReturnToCamp 1
            /varset ChaseAssist 0
            /varset MountOn 0
            /varcalc CampRadiusExceed ${MaxRadius}+200
            :PTauntOn2
            /if (${Me.Pet.ID} && !${PetTauntOn}) {
                /pet taunt on
                /delay 10
                /doevents
                /if (!${PetTauntOn}) /goto :PTauntOn2
            }
            /if (${Math.Distance[${Me.Pet.Y},${Me.Pet.X}:${CampYLoc},${CampXLoc}]}<=${CampRadius}) /pet guard
            /if (${Math.Distance[${Me.Pet.Y},${Me.Pet.X}:${CampYLoc},${CampXLoc}]}>${CampRadius}) /pet follow
            /if (${PullRoleToggle} && ${Group.Leader.ID}!=${Me.ID}) {
                /echo You are set to toggle puller mode but are NOT the group leader.
                /echo Please correct this and restart KissAssist. 
                /end
            }
            |- Function to determine pet active state and suspended pet state if enabled.
            /if (${PetSuspend}) /call PetStateCheck           
        }

Just change the 115 to something closer like 75 and save the macro and restart the macro on your character.

thank you

Perhaps a candidate for an INI setting? I'd like to be able to tweak that range myself to avoid having to heal my pet if he's the first one to jump a pulled mob. That or a separate PetAssistAt entry.

 

[ctaylor22]

That's a Maskoi Decision.

I suppose, if the tank is the only one who has AssistAt=100 and everyone else is set to =99 or less that would solve it, but in the effort of efficiency I didn't want even a second of DPS loss haha.

 

[Maskoi]

=99 is gonna get ya killed

 

[Sic]

This fix seems to have worked - thank you very much

Was looking for a solution to pet not pulling close enough. Found this thread..

This is an INI setting now. The default is 115 I think.

PetAttackDistance=115

Your toons engagement range is

MeleeDistance=50

To get my PullerPetTank to get the pet to pull into camp and have my Tank and Assists engage correctly, I set my toons like this.

PetAttackDistance=65
MeleeDistance=75
