Question - PetTank Beast Lord - Not meleeing

[Cupcake]

When I am setting my Beastlord to pet tank, she doesn't melee.. casts spells, but no melee.

What dont I have set? Also, pet wont break mez..

I'm sure there's a newb reason for this but I can't figure it out.

 

[Meistro]

to break mez your pets tank owner needs to cast a mez breaking spell on it. The section to denote this is in the pet section:

PetBreakMezSpell=Your DD spell here

As far as the beast not meleeing, the only thing I could say to look at would be the melee section and make sure melee is on.

bur without your ini being posted we are onlhy able to speculate as to what the problem might be.

 

[Maskoi]

treehuggindruid will have to help with this one he wrote all pet code.

 

[Cupcake]

OK..

I know I have it set to melee properly, when I am not running it as tank/pettank, it melee's just fine.

I know this looks odd

Burn7=Frenzy of Spirit
Burn8=Spirit Frenzy

but I wasnt sure which I had to have in there.. The way it displays on the AA hot button is different from the way the spell reads. so I put both since I have plenty of room.

Did a little more screwing around.... KA doesn't engage mq2melee like it does normally (when BL is direct tanking, or just assisting). I don't get the message MQ2Melee::Attacking [Mob Name]

However, if I hit attack, MQ2Melee engages, and BL does attack etc... Else BL just sits back, like a MAGE!!!!! UHG!, and casts spells...

Mez IS being broken now.

Main problem though still exists, BL not meleeing while in PetTank mode.

 

[LamahHerder]

Backup a copy of your current INI then delete it.

First try to use just /mac kissassist tank with yourself targeted
If it works.... fill in your pet section and set dps=1 now try /mac kissassist pettank

 

[Cupcake]

Did, it did, did, and it didn't....

 

[ctaylor22]

Pettank overrides the MeleeON setting. See Below:

        /if (${Select[${Role},pettank]}) {
            /if (${DebugPull}) /echo \atDEBUGPULL role pettank \agLine#: ${Macro.CurLine}
            /if (${DebugPull}) /echo \atDEBUGPULL Looks like my pet is tanking. \agLine#: ${Macro.CurLine}   
            /if (${UseMQ2Melee}) /squelch /melee aggro=0
            /varset AssistAt 100
            /varset MeleeOn 0
            /varset PetTanking 1
            /varset PetAttackRange 115
            /varset MountOn 0
            /varcalc CampRadiusExceed ${MaxRadius}+200
            :PTauntOn1
            /if (${Me.Pet.ID} && !${PetTauntOn}) {
                /pet taunt on
                /delay 10
                /doevents PTaunt
                /if (!${PetTauntOn}) /goto :PTauntOn1
            }            
            /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            
            |- Function to determine pet active state and suspended pet state if enabled.
            /if (${PetSuspend}) /call PetStateCheck                        
        }

Can I change that? =D

- - - Updated - - -

Now that I look at it... is that PetAttackRange 115 changeable? I monkeyed with the camp radius, but it didn't seem to change when the pet was engaged

Yea you can change it, but your pet is sent in to attack in the Combat routine around line 1272:

        /if (${Select[${Role},pettank,pullerpettank,hunterpettank]} && ${Spawn[${MyTargetID}].Distance}<${PetAttackRange}) /call CombatPet

And a second check around line 1289

            /if (${Select[${Role},pettank,pullerpettank]} && !${Attacking}) { 
                /pet attack
                /pet swarm
                /varset Attacking 1
            }

The farther out you set the PetAttackRange the sooner your pet will get sent in, but you have to be carefull. I am not sure why Melee is turned off when in pettank mode, but it could be because you wouldn't want a Mage or Necro in Melee mode, and also there use to be an issue with a character getting proximity agro if in melee range of a mob even if the pet was closer and was the agro holder.

Try just remarking out that line and give it a try.

| /varset MeleeOn 0

mq2melee also has petrange settings that you may want to checkout.

| /varset MeleeOn 0

I would imagine that pettank setting meleeon=0 is a historic remnant that should get removed from KISS?
If you do not want your mage/necro whatever melee'ing in tank mode wouldnt you just have meleeon=1 already in your [melee] section?

 

[ctaylor22]

That's the same conclusion Maskoi and myself came too. Keep an eye out for the next update.

 

[Cupcake]

I changed the 115 to 50, 20, 10, 5 and nothing changed.... (this was 9.18), however, I then changed the MeleeDistance= in the ini to match, and pet engaged appropriately.
