request for mana battery coercer setting

Sometimes i am called on to be a good mana battery. There are some things i wish were included in the coercer script:

1. mana flow raid/group members with less then 50% power - especially healers and main tank.
2. Spam canabalize thoughts when it is up - it debuffs and gets power for group and my bot NEVER will cast it.
3. Cast soothing buff. Why does bot not put on or offer an option to put on our mana regen buff that costs no concentration?
4. instead of jumping in to immediately dps when revived, immediately get buffs back up first. in some situations as a support class, our buffs to others are more important to killing the mob than us shooting off another brainshock right away.
5. rotate tyrranous mind on high dps casters besides myself.

As a suggestion, is it possible to have an alternate to the "use dps mode" that is "mana battery buff bot mode"? not that i dont want the toon to deliver as much damage as possible, but in some situations I want to set the bot to focus on getting others what they need rather than individual dps performance, for tough fights.

1. Coercer will manaflow group members low on power.
2. Canabalize thoughts is 0 dps. I play coercer as dps and don't waste time on worthless spells. Get a pondwash belt if your concerned about group power.
3. Soothing should be cast in combat. If it is not, I'll look into it.
4. This is normal behavior for all bots, there is a button on the main tab after revive to 'check buffs' this will recast them for you when pressed.
5. No. Turranous mind is a 100% spell proc, and doesn't refresh faster than you can use it on yourself. I see no reason to cast it on 'high dps' casters besides self. Played properly, I'm kicking illusionists in the nads with coercer dps =P.

3. Soothing should be cast in combat. If it is not, I'll look into it.

There is a TRUE FALSE in the coercer configuration file, by default it is FALSE

Change it to TRUE and coercer will cast Soothing


To follow up on Pygar about the Coercer script, it is built for DPS not as a buff bot and IMHO anyone who wants a Coercer in the group for buffs only is misinformed with the class. Tyronius Mind is a self buff (meaning it is good for the caster and waste time and DPS casting on others) , I actually added a switch to cast prior to mob pull for added DPS, it should be self only. Again this is all my opinion.

You can change the Coercer script ISS file though to cast some of these mana buffs, they are currently on "<" and ">" samples. Just open the Coercer ISS file, it really is easy to read and configure.

I used this link to help build a better DPS Coercer who many times out does my wizard.. and shes does crowd control *Swing*

yeah that part has always bugged me where it doesnt cast our regen ever and i have to cast it every time i will look into that TRUE FALSE thing and see if i can change it on mine.

hey maybe you could link your modified file for coercer dps i would like to test it out =) wish i knew more about modifying these files

Also is there a way to have it start and finish its own Heroic Opportunities my brother plays an Illy and it has an option to start HO but there is none for the coercer

My Coercer script.

I dont use HOs... I just dont understand them enough to really care I guess.. plus I want my bots casting what i want not some HO thing .. Like my SHD, sometimes EVAC pops up as a HO .. like WTF??

I did remove the EPIC portion in mine, I also added a Terronious Mind pre buff. If you want DPS you must uncheck the MEZ / charm buttons otherwise it will only cast one spell at a time before checking surroundings.

Let me know, I would love to tweak mine more.

which is why, on the HO tab, you get to pick what spells/combat arts you want it to use for HOs. The bot will never cast some random flashing icon for a HO.

Slightly old post, I know. But I tried your coercer.iss and can't seem to get it to run. I was hoping you could help.

It launches fine. However when the bot is then activated it spits out the following and shuts down:

EQ2bot Ready
-----------
no 'pulse' function found in script
call failed
dumping script stack
--------------------------
-->D:/innerspace/Scripts/eq2bot.iss:456 main() call pulse
Ending eq2bot !

And well, I don't really know how to fix that.

The version listed here is not supported and hasn't been updated for improvements to the core bot. Generally all issues on this thread and that version have already been addressed in the release version with the exception of pre-casting the self proc. Pre-casting adds some dps on short fights, but over longer runs it normalizes out.

I may eventually work on some pre-casting routines for it, but it isn't priority at this time. I'm just not interested in significant work to make a fight go from 27s to 25s.

Coercer Myth buff

Has anyone worked out a clicky button so the coercer will buff the MT with their myth?
