Question - Specific question - EQBC to toggle merc settings?

[luclinjunkie]

Hi there, I have a very specific question. I was wondering if anyone knows of an EQBC or general setting that might toggle a merc setting?

I have caster dps mercs, and I set them to burn at like 50% mob HP. However, it's all manual. Is there a way I can EQBC to my alts to change merc settings? Or another method?

Thanks in advance!

Is there a reason you can't just /bcga //mercassistat <x> or /bcga //mercon <0/1> when you wanna change it?

If you're wanting to change the stance you can eqbc command these also:

    /mercassist on - Turns on Mercenary assist.
    /mercassist off - Turn this off.
    /mercassist - this activates the merc when /mercassist is on.
    /stance passive - puts the merc in a passive stance.
    /stance aggressive - this puts your merc in the aggressive stance.
    /stance burn - puts the caster/melee dps merc in a burn stance (warning: high agro).
    /stance balanced - puts the merc in a balanced attack/heal stance.
    /stance efficient - puts the healer merc in a efficient stance.
    /stance reactive - puts the healer merc in a reactive stance (note: best overall healing setting).

if you want to use a social you can do it like this
/bcg //stance burn

that tells your group to change their merc stances to the burn setting.

now you can make it more advanced if you like
/bcg //if (${Mercenary.State.Equal[ACTIVE]} && ${Mercenary.Class.Name.Equal[Wizard]} && ${Mercenary.Stance.NotEqual[BURN]}) /stance burn
That tells your toons if they have an active merc, that is a wizard and not in the burn stance, to put them in burn stance.

Now if you wanna do this in kiss you should be able to add a couple conditions and dps and buff lines to make it fully automated.

First we use buffs to set the stance to balanced so we dont start next fight with them in burn mode

Buffs1=command:/stance balanced|cond1
cond1=${Mercenary.State.Equal[ACTIVE]} && ${Mercenary.Class.Name.Equal[Wizard]} && ${Mercenary.Stance.NotEqual[Balanced]}

Then basically same idea in dps section

dps1=command:/stance burn|99|cond2
cond2=${Mercenary.State.Equal[ACTIVE]} && ${Mercenary.Class.Name.Equal[Wizard]} && ${Mercenary.Stance.NotEqual[BURN]} && ${Target.PctHPs} <= 50

notice we added a target hp check to get em to switch at 50%

so as long as you running kiss with these conditions and buff and dps lines, your wizard mercs should burn at 50% and out of combat switch back to balanced.

now there will be some overlap, as we dont take into consideration that you might be fighting two mobs, so they will move on ot next mob at burn stance. with that we could add another dps and condition that checks if they higher than 50, and burning then set it to balanced, you have enough information to create those lines though.,

Thanks y'all took a bit of playing but /bcg <character name> //stance burn ; /bcg <character name> //stance balance did it. Any characters without the merc was having Kissassist crash.
