Question - Role tank help

[Richirjmcb]

Hi there,

I am reasonably new to this.

I have ave set up a group of 6 and am leveling from level 1, I have currently got them up to level 15.

The team set up I have is cleric, chanter, mage, wiz, bard and shadow knight. I want to fully control the bard and pull but have the sk tank.

I have managed to get everyone doing what I want except the sk. If I change the ini file to have role as tank he does nothing.. The only way I can get him to do anything is if I set his role as assist.

Also I set his role as tank who do I target when turning in kissassist?

thanks

You might need something in the agro field and agro = 1 . When you are the tank you can target yourself and go /mac kissassist tank

 

[Richirjmcb]

Thanks will give that a go

Follow up question I forgot to ask is he also won't follow EQBC commands /chase on 1 when the role is set to tank in the ini but will if the role is assist, any thoughts?

Perhaps put assist at 100 on the sk, so he'll assist on inc or almost

Post your tank's kissassist ini file. Maybe we can spot the issues all at once. He needs to have melee on, agro on for sure. You could compare these lower lvl SK ini's if you want. (SK11 - SK12)

If you want him to "chase" also check if you have returntocamp turned on. That would make him stay put.

set everyone in the group, but the sk to:
/mac kissassist assist skname

set the sk to:
/mac kissassist tank skname

/chase 1 sets people to follow the ma which will be your sk.

if you want them to follow your bard, including your sk do:
/chaseme bardname

Thanks guys that seems to have fixed it.

I hadn't used aggro on was targeting the wrong characters when turning on kissassist and was using the wrong chase command.

I am still a little unclear on the aggro lines. Should aggro 1=Taunt? Or are taunt abilities handled differently?

Also to clarify ( in case anyone else reads this for similar problems) on the chase command I was meaning the EQBCS command to make your group fill you while moving around which kaen01 sorted, not the one in the ini that chases the mob if they are fleeing.

Check out the KissAssist ini settings page.

Aggro section needs percentages for the skills/spells to trigger and either >/< so it knows if you're trying to build aggro or drop aggro.

Sample 110 SK "maintain" aggro:

[Aggro]
AggroOn=1
AggroSize=7
Aggro1=Taunt|100|<
Aggro2=Mindless Hatred|100|<
Aggro3=Hate's Attraction|100|<
Aggro4=Terror of Kra`Du|100|<
Aggro5=Refute for Power|100|<
Aggro6=Ageless Enmity|100|<
Aggro7=NULL

Sample 110 Bard "lose" agro or pop some defensive stuff if that's not working:

AggroOn=1
AggroSize=5
Aggro1=Fading Memories|80|> 
Aggro2=Shield of Notes|90|>
Aggro3=Hymn of the Last Stand|95|>
Aggro4=NULL
Aggro5=NULL
