issue with clickies vs discs

Post#1 » Mon Jul 14, 2014 10:33 pm

I don't know if anyone else has this problem. My warrior will use the gloves from kael that make him untouchable. That is how I start a lot of my fights. However I have had to stop doing that on my raids because I have a 50% chance of once it wears off and I click my real defensive disc, it won't turn on but will set the timer for reuse. This happens with all versions of defensive disc (defensive, stone wall, t8 version). Hope this makes sense and let me know if you need any other information. Thanks guys.

You may be clicking the new disc too quickly. I've seen the same thing, and just waiting a moment between one disc wearing off and clicking a new one remedied the issue for me.

I experienced a similar problem and was able to chalk it up to MQ2. My SK had a mq2melee setting that was clicking an Anger item (they were gauntlets that needed to be equipped, so the routine would equip/click/bag the gaunts) which was interfering. I found that this issue occurred randomly: sometimes it would be days without issue, other times it would be back to back encounters. Since it was so random, I had to assume it was something else that was a little "random." The solution? I removed the Anger clicky from my mq2melee settings and I've not experienced the problem since.

I have also noticed a similar situation on casters: Mage has a routine to cast swarm pets on a trigger, but if I trigger the routine while he's casting/as he begins to cast, it will try to use the AA but see a spell is/about to cast and uses the AA timer without getting the affect. The solution here was to build in a little "safety routine" so that no spells except for the swarm pets could be cast after triggering the swarm pet routine.

Hopefully you're a MQ2 user and this makes sense (mq2melee/mq2cast are the culprits!). If not, hopefully a MQ2 user who experiences similar problems finds this post in the future.

This happens due to these reasons (also mentioned above):

  • You clicked the item before the timer runs out but after you zoned/loaded in. When you zone, the visible timer resets but the actual timer doesn't. Unfortunately, clicking the item at this time will reset the visible timer (but not the actual timer), preventing you from using the item until it has run out (even though the actual timer will run out before that). To avoid this, remember to wait a few extra minutes if you recently zoned after using the item in the last 10 minutes.
  • You clicked the item too quickly after the visible timer completes. The actual timer and the visible timer are not always perfectly synchronised. To avoid this, wait a few extra seconds after the item visibly becomes ready.
  • You are using third party tools. I won't discuss this here. If you are, post about this in the third party forum and we can discuss it in full detail.

So far as I know, only issue 2 and 3 affect actual disciplines.

often if you just click it again, it will work.
