Question - rangers is there a way to use EQ's /autofire it fores alot faster then kissassist doe

[emorain]

Has anyone found a way to use the rangers /autofire from EQ? kissassists/MQ2melee is much slower and you lose a ton of DPS also is there a way to adjust the autoface so instead of being 100% true center is slightly off towards the left of center? because if a ranger is aimed/faced just right they deal a ton more damage....

You could probably adjust your direction facing with something like this

Just a guess... Definitely not tested.

/squelch /face mob id ${CalmID}
/varset Mobdirection ${Me.Heading.DegreesCCW}
/varset rang_adj 5
/face heading ${Math.Calc[${Mobdirection}-${rang_adj}]}

What??

When you have your ranger facing dead on to a mob firing, normal crit hits jump around from between 4k to 10or 11k but if you move the ranger just slightly right of true you will see your normal damage going up, the sweet spot (aiming dead center of the targeting ring) I found makes my normal crit hits deal around 21k to 30k+(that's using the unyielding devotion bow with ancient arrow) and also tends to headshot more often then when facing dead on which is where mq2melee/kissassist has them facing.

I wouldn't even know where to begin with this lol thank you though

it would be a face loose so its looking at the mob within a degree of center. Was bow damage reduced on stationary mobs? IE rooted/cornered mobs? or am i thinking of something else.

from what you are stating it looks like the mobs defence is taking into account bow damage, so in your instance the arrow arc's and hits the mob on the side ignoring some of the defence, you could get the same damage if the mobs side was placed to you with a dead center /face and would get the same damage.

My version of kiss uses /autofire. My ranger is my best dps against humanoids in RoS currently and I'm thinking of adding another.

May I quickly ask, why your version uses /autofire and the main fork does not? Sorry if this a silly question, it's 3am >< I'll echo that I notice what seems to be faster firing on the bow using this?

I suspect its because I play my ranger on a daily basis and I'm impatient so I cant wait for things to be fixed in official kiss.
We took different paths and approaches to developing kiss awhile ago. Official Kiss is fine for most users and its something they are used to.

My version is much more customizable with things like switching bandoliers on the fly, moving closer to mobs that tank cant see, etc etc, it uses ohshits and takes full advantage of groupheals etc. and now the rangers use /autofire which make the dps go up significantly.

I stopped comparing features with official but I might merge them again for differences at some point, I'm sure I have some bugs in mine that are fixed in official and vice versa.
Bottomline, I am not trying to compete with official, I'm just giving people a chance to play eq the way I play it.
