I modified this ini from the library for my bard but he will do great just not melee assist. Still trying to figure everything out. Also on /bct bardname //twist off it will not turn off the twist. It says stopping twist then it says starting twist in the next command immediately.

where number is the number of mobs you want to use an AE mez on. Could be potentially the issue, though i'm unsure if not providing would/could potentially cause this issue.

twist off won't stop the kiss macro from restarting the twist, as you have:

TwistOn=1 TwistMed=5 TwistWhat=5 13 2 4 7

Your bard will restart twisting even if you issue a /twist off.

As far as not meleeing, since you have MezOn=1, if there are multiple mobs in the camp you bard will always prioritize keeping them mezzed over initiating melee combat. Is your bard not attacking with only one target as well? If so, do you have mq2melee loaded?

Even if only one mob in camp he will not melee asssist. I only load /mac kissassist with tank selected. He does a wonderful job on mezzing any adds but I would like on single pull to melee assist.

V1ndi So i would need to /mac end then /twist off? would that keep the twist from reloading?

 

[scotsbiker]

I also have this problem with my bard atm, my ini is pretty much the same as above. It doesn't bother me too much as I am pling him at the moment and he dies pretty quick if he melee's anyway.
However it would be good to find the solution for when he is leveled and geared.

 

[Sic]

I didn't see your melee section in that ini? is melee turned on?

Bards won't usually melee if they're doing mez stuff since they need to target to mez with single target cycle - but once stuff is mezzed or they're cycling it should be good to go.

I use a bard and have my ini uploaded, and my bard is definitely a stabbyboi

 

[v1ndi]

+1 for Sic's Bard INI, I use it almost entirely as he uploaded and have absolutely no issues ever.

2 Things, I almost always explicity initiate Kiss on my non-tanks like this /mac kissassist assist <tankname> 98

Second, if you don't want to change your twist settings you can just do /dex <bardname> /multiline ; /mqp ; /twist off (or the eqbc /bct equivalent), then just do another /mqp to unpause the macro and you'll start twisting again when ready.

 

[eqranger24]

Thank you. I might end up changing to sic ini but my bard is only 109. I am still very new and dont play everyday so learning to move things around and make it work. Thank you v1ndi for your help. I am going to try that line when I am able to log in and play.

 

[v1ndi]

My pleasure, the only 110 Songs you'd need to adjust from Sic's ini to work on a 109 are:

Arcane Ballad
Aura
Sathir Insult
Tranvenro's
and the AE Mez

Just replace those with lesser level versions and you're good to go

 

[Telepathically]

haha I'm trying to figure out the complete opposite
