When did your problem start?

Character Role?
  1. PullerPetTank
What class is having this issue?
  1. Necromancer
How often does this issue occur?
Always
Can you reproduce the issue?
Yes.
I did search many threads and could not find anything to assist me with this.

I am running kissassist. This is my first time setting up the puller function. I have a small radius camp (140) that I want to focus on. Here is what happens:

I start kissassist
Loads the INI and checks for errors, etc..
Get the message I am pulling & my pet >> ABCD << is Tanking
Get the message it is memming the spellset followed by long pause
Get the message Pull Ranking is off. You need to update MobsToPull. Normal Pulling Enabled.

Nothing. I have left it several times for 10+ minutes and nothing.
Buffs on my pet wear off... nothing
Mobs well within the camp radius and pull radius... nothing

I cast a buff on my pet... kissassist wakes up, targets and kills the closest mob.
When that mob is dead... nothing.
Despite there being another mob within the pull radius and there is a roamer that also comes right up to me.. nothing.

I cast a buff on my pet... kissassist wakes up, targets and kills the next closet mob.
/rinse /repeat

Something is getting hung up. I saw in another post where I need to turn on DanNet or EQBCOn. Turned on DanNet. Still same issue.

Here are the settings I have. Is there something that is causing this from staling or not targeting?

Thanks!

Edit: Added full INI, turned on DanNet and added additional detail.
 
Think I found my issue. I had another toon in the group that was invising the group after the kill which looks like the macro was pausing. Casting pet buff was breaking invis and macro would resume. I am on my 2nd consecutive kill without touching the keyboard.
 
also: you definitely want dpson=2 and not dpson=1, and you can use "99" for everything, dpson=1 is pretty antiquated, and isn't going to function the way you think it does
you also don't need any ranks listed (and haven't for quite a few years)

these seem pretty low
INI:
MaxRadius=140
MaxZRange=70

your lesser curse of sub --- you should consider using "curse of sub" and not lesser since there are 3 types

you also have your conditions turned off

Thanks!! Did not even notice the conditions. Yeah, I am just starting to kick the tires. Only two toons. I am starting out small by farming out one PH spot (3 mobs in that radius). Once I get comfortable with it working properly, as you can see I need some work, I will expand the range. Thank you for the suggestions.
 
campradius=100 is too big, make it 30

LoadSpellSet=1 set this to 2 to mem the spells listed in your ini

CastingInterruptOn=1 i suggest turning this off, its more trouble than its worth
CheckStuckGem=1 turn this off, not needed anymore that bug it fixes is no longer a bug.

dpson=1 use 2 instead of 1, its much more better and responsive

PullRadiusToUse=140 this is a percentage of the spells range to get close to the mob to pull, you cant get 140% close!, make it 90

PullArcWidth=360 makes it check pullarc stuff, to turn that off set it to 0

I turned on the ConOn=1 and started getting these errors. I do not see anything in there I can tie back to a specific setting in the INI. Other than that, it is now pulling as I would expect. I increased the pull radius to add a 4th mob to the rotation. Next, I am going to see if I can use the [MEZ] section to see if I can do a /pet attack instead of casting a spell on adds.

Cond3=!${Pet.Buff[Instill Ally Rk. III].ID}
Cond4=!${Pet.Buff[Companion's Aegis VIII].ID}

these two conditions, there is no .ID on pet buffs they return the slot number the buff is in

int Buff[buffname]

Returns the slot number for buffname

so thats why you getting that error
 
@eqsomebody I hope you are making progress to get your puller-pet-tank to work!

When I experimented with a necro, doing puller-pet-tank, I had an aggro section as follows:
Code:
[Aggro]
AggroOn=1
AggroSize=3
Aggro1=Death Peace|80|>
Aggro2=/stand
Aggro3=Death's Effigy|99|>


I don't know if this is good or not in the KA profile terms.

What I saw in game play though is -
  • After the pull the necro would be back at the camp and feign death ( death peace ) and at over level 90 that is instant from the AA ability.
  • Similar during the fight at camp, if the dot's out aggro the pet it would feign death again to help transfer aggro back to the pet.
  • After the feign he would get up and resume.
If that was my aggro settings, or KA generally or some other plugin I don't know.


Regards and Best Wishes

@eqsomebody I notice you mention this in your original ask:
Get the message Pull Ranking is off. You need to update MobsToPull. Normal Pulling Enabled.

Just to make sure that base is covered, you are aware of your own toon KA profile.

There is also a file called "KissAssist_Info" in the config directory.
In that file it has the sections named for each zone you have ran the KA macro in.
Within each section, there is a comma delimited string list that KA toons use:
  • MobsToPull, the mob names to look for in your 'KA pull radius'.
  • MobsToIgnore
  • MobsToBurn

An example:
Code:
[Dragonscale Hills]
MezImmune=#Witchkin,#Dungore,#King Mustef
MobsToPull=a doombug scavenger,a dragonscale shadowcat,a dragonscale viper,a red wolf,#Witchkin,#Dungore,#King Mustef
MobsToIgnore=a dragonscale spider egg
MobsToBurn=#Witchkin,#Dungore,#King Mustef

I thought this may be of use as it includes a learning I had about mob names. It's not just what is displayed when target the mob. In the above example, found the named mobs needed to be prefix with the "#" to have them work.


Good luck on your hunt!

@BigDorf Thank you for the response! Taking the various different pieces of the responses has helped a lot. I am keeping it basic and so far it is running pretty good on my toon pair. One issue I am trying to figure out is how to handle adds that come into the camp. I am a pet class and my pet tanks. When an add comes into camp, how do I automatically have the pet switch to the add(s) to pick up aggro so it/they do not pummel clerics? Before asking this, I have done numerous searches and cannot find anything. Right now, I have Agrro1=command:/pet attack|100 but that has not worked. I guess aggro is only when it is on me which is not an issue. I just need the pet to go whack on adds in the camp a few times to pick up agro. Thanks!
 
Make sure you have TargetSwitchingOn turned on. When you switch targets to the new target you may have to issue the /pet attack command to get the pet to attack your new target.
I do. I also have myself set to MA so I can switch targets and then have pet attack. Was trying to figure out how to do it automatically. Many times I do not notice an add or I am too slow to respond.
 
Yea. we left out the code to have the pet switch targets when the MA switches the target. The community liked the ability of leaving the pets on one target and then having the characters on another. Might be able to add an option so you can force your pet to switch targets when a character switches? Interested?

That would be an awesome option, while tanking the ToB missions on an SK, I was having to manually make my pet come off the main mob and switch to the mob that I was now tanking.
