Question - Using the CWTN Plugins on Raids???

[Kakgumu]

So, I've been back to EQ for just a few days over a year now and have been enjoying the game IMMENSELY. I've been using the CWTN plugins for about 9 months so far and they have been pretty spectacular. One thing I wanted to ask of the more experienced boxers is this...how do you set up and control your group during RAIDS?!?! This has proven to be exceptionally difficult for me and I suspect I'm just overlooking something obvious. My group set up is:

Wizard (main - I drive the rest of the group from here as I never have any MT or specific healer responsibilities on raids)
SK - running the CWTN plugin
CLR - running the CWTN plugin
SHM - running the CWTN plugin
ROG - running the CWTN plugin
BRD - running KA

I usually keep the CLR and SHM in manual mode and have them setup to heal and buff, i.e. zero dps. The big problem is that I don't have a good way to hit a button and tell my SK and ROG to attack my target. Right now, I'm unloaded the plugins and reloading mq2melee. Then I have a few socials to assist the Wiz, use mq2nav to move to the target, and then use mq2melee to /melee killthis. The problem is that I completely lose all the spells, discs, and abilities that these chars would normally use perfectly well with the CWTN plugins. Anybody have some tips, tricks, or knowledge the would kindly bestow on me?!?


Thanks a million!

just have a hotkey like i have in my hotkey guide to "ass me" if you want to manually call them to attack a target you designate (with them in manual mode)

if you want them to just assist the designated raid assist, put them in raidmode, then set their raidassist to the name/number from your eq raid window, and slap them in chase mode, they'll follow that person around and assist on that target

I find the raid assist options work good, I use chase on melee toons, and regular assist with a large camp size on most raid events. the plugins are well built for raid modes. it is a good idea to have a fast pause key though for when you need to make them stop (everything) also MQ2Events is useful for complying with raid emotes.

I run CWTN on raid exclusively, I'm up to 32 toons at a time. Set your raidmode and raidassist. Turn melee off your casters and place them where you want.
