Tips Chase mode with invis, dungeon crawls

[darkoka65]

I saw this in the FAQ, wanted to input how i was accomplishing this without using a camp.
I am sure there are other ways to do this.

First it uses EQBCS which you can launch with VV.
Simply login to your characters and type this on each one to autologin when you launch.
/bccmd autoconnect on
That will set it to auto login. the manual command to login each time
/bccmd connect

This is manually running around, a dungeon zone crawl. Great for doing hunter and pickin off rares and multiple camps.

Everyone on chase mode.
Select an MA
Select the MT
can be different.
run to your camp
make sure MA has mob targeted and in range. hit the key.
Your ma will be the character you will be running with toons following you.

Your key is simple, /attack on broadcast with eqbcs

/bcga //attack on

bcga stands for broad cast group all, so it sends a command to all characters.

I run with ENC as MA, and SK as MT.
grp is enc sk wiz mag dru clr
I can surgically pull whatever i need to with enc.

Once u hit the key the grp attacks and kills. and attack goes off automatic.
you can go on a rampage clear what you need to or invis to the next camp.

IF you have multiple mobs on aggro you want to make sure you have Use Mez checked in settings on enchanter.
With that on, enc will auto target the next mob when one dies.
I am not sure that was intended but it works great guys!

without Use mez checked the Enc as ma will not switch targets and you have to manually target the mob for grp to attack.

They key will not broadcast if your casting a spell. keep an eye on the MQ2 window to make sure the command was sent.

this reads like you're talking about cwtn plugins or maybe rgmercs but you posted in the "questions, problems, and bugs" section, and only context clues seem to indicate you're talking about cwtn plugins.

I'm going to move this to "strategies" for now, but it really should be in the place related to the thing you're talking about.

you should either a: turn toons usemelee on, in which case, chase mode will then they will break invis to do stuff once their MA gives them a target and they're assist conditions are met.
or
you should just broadcast a "/makemevis" like /bcga //makemevis is the way to go here really. you should keep a "make me visible" hotkey.

re: not broadcasting while casting, you can use buttonmaster and it will broadcast while casting.

The limitation of being unable to use a hotkey while you are casting is an EQ limitation. If you want to use a hotkey when you are unable to otherwise, such as broadcasting the request to do something to other members of your party then as Sic mentioned you want to use button master or you can simply type the command. Buttonmaster doesn't care if you're casting and neither does MQ in general.

Attacking breaks invis, this is true. But again as Sic mentioned /makemevis is a command from MQ that forces all members of the party to remove their invis from themselves. This is similar to /makemefall in that the party simply clicks off their levi. I actually pair the two assuming I don't just have all levi blocked. (Make me fall is a cwtn command, there is an MQ version of it, I'm not sure what it is as I had added makemefall at one point and someone else renamed it, and I preferred the one I had already known to use for a year plus).

If you're doing a dungeon crawl manually operating for the pulls I generally used SicTank with the rest of the group in Vorpal. But you've chosen the enchanter - who isn't a tank - to do your pulling. You can certainly choose to be in manual mode, and still have the rest of the group on Vorpal. I realize that not everyone understands what Vorpal mode is for, but it's specifically a dungeon crawl for the group. You engage with the MA, mob reaches the autoassistat health amount, and the rest of the group will move to the MA and engage the target. When there is no target to engage they remain at their current location. This means there is neither a camp, nor do you chase the MA when not in combat. That gives you the freedom to pull out of a group of mobs, but not need to run all the way back to a camp every pull. Just to where you last engaged something if you don't hit their autoassistat hps, or alternately allows the group to come to you. The group automatically moves up making the dungeon crawl a little smoother without using chase and face tanking everything. However, by and large I've found pulling with the tank and just yoinking everything is the way to go when you have an enchanter because they can lock stuff down pretty quickly assuming there isn't any mez immunes being pulled.

/removelev, just for the convenience of anyone else reading.
