The Hidden Forest

I am working on the Xegony fight, and this is the first time I have had to switch targets. Is there some sort of trick to this or something I need to turn off? Using MQ2, even if I switch targets with my tank and tell the group to reassist me they stick on Xegony instead of switching. Is there a stick function I need to turn off in the MQ2, or modify, or a specific command I can issue to tell my party to stop attacking Xegony and target my new target? Thanks!

In order to help you I'm going to need you to be very specific.

[1] When you say "reassist" are you commanding your group to /assist?
If no, then what does your assist command look like?

[2] When you say "stick" are you referring to /stick?


Couple basic questions:
[3] What is your group make-up?
[4] Are you using the MQ2Melee plugin?

1) The assist command I use is (from memory syntax might not be exact) basically it tells my mage and necro to target my target and send the pet in to kill, and my rogue to assist me.
/multiline ; /bca //target ID ${Target.ID} ; /bca //pet attack
/bct roguename //assist ID ${Me.ID}
(I can post exact syntax when I get home, at work right now)


2) When I say stick I am referring to the command /stick. even if I try to switch to that toons screen and move them manually it hops back to that target.

3) My group is Shadow Knight, Shaman, Cleric, Mage, Necro, Rogue.

4) I am using the MQ2Melee Plugin, for the Rogue, Necro and Mage, but I do /melee off for the other 3 characters.

Both my necro and mage have all the pet AA's, if it matters its a Donor mage pet and the HoH dropped necro pet.

Your pets will obey this command only if they're properly configured with the pet discipline AA commands. To do so, I recommend the following in this exact order:
/pet focus on
/pet no taunt
/pet hold
(sometimes MQ2melee can mess with pet attack commands, proceed with caution or just /melee off on the pet classes too)

MQ2melee is finicky. I recommend ditching /assist commands and sticking with /target commands and /killthis when it's time to engage. If MQ2melee is being particularly finicky, then you can /melee off and then /melee on to clear whatever it was doing.

9 times out of 10 that's MQ2melee overriding your /stick command with its own.


That's what I'd do, at least. Hope that helps.

Thanks Noren!, I will try that when I get home tonight. I do have all the pet AA's on those guys, I have never used the /killthis command but I will look at the wiki and read about it.

Just be careful with how you use /pet focus on and /pet hold. Issued out of order, I've gotten mixed results. Good luck!

Noren that worked perfectly! The only question I have now is, I assume I need to issues those commands every time I summon a new pet? Or can I stick the pet commands into a config somewhere? Thanks a TON!

As far as I understand it, you need to issue the commands every time you zone, and also every time a new pet is summoned. I just made a hotkey for it that I fire off every time I zone and/or a new pet is summoned. Your assumption is 100% correct. If you do find some kind of .ini setting that handles this as a default for pets, please do let me know. Otherwise, I don't think one exists.

I didn't read all the talk above, but normally I do something like:

multiline ; /bct melee //stick off ; /bct melee //target id ${Target.ID} ; /bct melee //stick !face 15 ; /bct melee //killthis

The stick off is because I do a stick to myself when they all follow, and if they're OOR I don't want them running across the world or hugging a perma rooted mob with stick still on when they change targets when I quickly engage something.

You can remove the /bct melee stick line
