Q. Why does it cast Chaotic on the mob we're fighting?
A. We use Chaotic for purposes of the twincast it gives.
If you don't want it to use Chaotic you can /enc UseChaotic off
Q. Why does my enchanter not mez (XTarget appears fine)?
A. If you are using AutoMezImmune, check your Immune tab for "Mez Immune" list - under some circumstances mobs can get added to mez immune which aren't totally mez immune.
Q. Why does my enchanter not buff the group?
A. You will need to run
Q. Chain Casting NDT?
A. Double-Check that you don't need to add the illusion to your blocked buffs / pet blocked buffs. Sic explains this in the MQ2Enchanter Pre-Release video > HERE <
Q. Chain Casting Mezzes all the time and won't cast anything else in combat?
A. Double-Check that you have a group main assist assigned. Using the leader of the group, and in the group window (for others) or your own window (for self) right click the health bar. Use the available in game options to assign the role of Main Assist to the character. You should now mez everything except their target.
Q. Enchanter is chain casting something?
A. There are a few lower lvl / mid level buffs that eq/mq2 reports stack that do not, or will chain overwrite other buffs and you get into a buffing contest with another toon. You either have this situation or some other issues. I would suggest checking for the red error text that eq gives you to tell you WHY it didn't successfully take hold and then go from there. You can block anything you don't want cast.
EQ Menu -> Character -> Blocked Buffs
EQ Menu -> Character -> Blocked Pet Buffs (to add to anyone's pet blocked spells)
/blockspell add me id
/blockspell add pet id
Q. I don't want the plugin to cast xyz buff on a toon.
A. Any buff you don't want cast upon someone, you would just have that character add it to their blocked buffs.
EQ Menu -> Character -> Blocked Buffs
EQ Menu -> Character -> Blocked Pet Buffs (to add to anyone's pet blocked spells)
/blockspell add me id
/blockspell add pet id
Q. I don't like the spell lineup.
A. You can "Bring your own spells" with /enc byos on. Like the other CWTN plugins *most* of the spells still have to be spells that the plugin says you have and can use, you can just adjust your spell lineup with byos.
Q. Why do I have an Empty Spell Gem?
A. an empty gem can happen depending on your settings. For example, gem 13 we use alliance or night's terror there (with usealliance or usenightsterror respectively) if you have alliance off, and already have night's terror elsewhere due to other settings, that gem is empty
Q. I don't want to use charm and I don't want to summon a pet.
A. If you have UseCharm turned off, we will summon a pet if you have tiny daggers. If you don't want to summon a pet, you will need to not have the components to do so. Alternatively, you could also turn on byos and manually handle your loadout and your buffs.
Q. My enchanter is meleeing in assist mode - I only want to do enchanter stuff.
A. /enc UseMelee off
Q. SwitchWithMA option?
A. There is no option to turn SwitchWithMA off in the MQ2Enchanter, because we're changing targets to do things like mez, we're going to re-acquire the MA's target when we go to do stuff.
Q. My enchanter is chain casting Breathing Dot?
A. The BreathingDot line is used as a nuke (still respects UseDot). At higher levels, the front-loaded damage is very strong.
Q. Rapture and Ancient: Rapture missing from SingleMez ?
A. We don't use Rapture or Ancient: Rapture due to the very long recast. Nearly all SingleMez have a 1s reuse timer, where rapture/ancient rapture have a 24s reuse.
Q. Why am i not memorizing my Single Target Mez?
A. You probably have usechaotic turned on, in which case we use chaotic mez. If you want to memorize your single target mez, you would want to turn that off.
Q. My enchanter appears to be chain interrupting something?
A. This means you have interruptformez turned on - and likely you are firing an AA ability between spell cooldowns, but your regular spells come off cooldown before the AA is casting. You can disable InterruptForMez with
Q. I want to re-charm the same mob?
A. as of Jul 2023, we will attempt to recharm a mob we previously had if it is still alive
Q. Flash?
A. We don't use the flash line.
Q. Why no Beam of Slumber?
A. Beam of Slumber is a 200 x 200 frontal absolute madhouse sized mez. This is something we do not want to use in the plugin. EQ can be bad enough with pulling things through walls/floors etc - using something that is 200x200 sounds like trouble.
Q. Can MQ2Enchanter Broadcast Mezzing?
A. /enc broadcastmez on - This will automagically detect dannet/eqbc and broadcast mez usage.
Q. My enchanter is sometimes moving to do stuff when I don't have usemelee on?
A. If you are in any mode other than manual mode, you will move to mez if you don't have line of sight and the mob is in your camp radius. You will also move to get into your combat routine for things like tashing, slowing, debuffing, and to get combat going. Since our caster classes are always going to assist their MA, even in manual mode (because manual mode is really designed for melee classes), you can just go in manual mode to disable this.
Q. How can I get it to break invis to do stuff?
A. MQ2Enchanter will break invis if a camp is set - so mode 1 would break invis to do stuff, where mode 0 would not.
Q. Do I need to assign what Xtargets to watch for XTargetBuffing?
A. Nope - Just toggle on UseXTargetBuffing and it will check all your Extended Targets to see if they are PCs and then buff them (they still need to be running mq2cwtnbuffs and be local to your computer).
Q. Epic 1.5/2.0?
A. We don't use the 1.5/2.0.
Q. Why am I Not Pulling XYZ mob?
A. Not pulling a mob is almost always an issue either with your Navmesh or your pull settings. If you do a
Q. Trying to go mode 1 but says I need a mesh?
A. The plugins require mq2nav for movement. You will need to run the mesh updater in your RedGuide's Launcher. Please watch the video > HERE <
Q. I sometimes get stuck in my spell book?
A. This is often due to your background fps not being high enough. It is strongly advised to utilize at LEAST 30 fps for background, recommended 60+ background fps. The fps cycle for eq is where "work" is done. If your background fps is set to "min" you can and will have undesired results with all sorts of automation activities.
Alt-O -> Display -> Advanced - > Max Background FPS
You will also need to check if you are using any external background fps limiting software - like isboxer - and adjust that accordingly.
A. We use Chaotic for purposes of the twincast it gives.
If you don't want it to use Chaotic you can /enc UseChaotic off

A. If you are using AutoMezImmune, check your Immune tab for "Mez Immune" list - under some circumstances mobs can get added to mez immune which aren't totally mez immune.
Q. Why does my enchanter not buff the group?
A. You will need to run
/plugin mq2cwtnbuffs load on all of your characters that you would like MQ2Enchanter to buff. You also need to NOT be in /enc byos on mode. As "Bring Your Own Spells" assumes you want to handle your spells and your buffs. MQ2CWTNBuffs requires characters to be local characters (same PC, not across network or space/time).Q. Chain Casting NDT?
A. Double-Check that you don't need to add the illusion to your blocked buffs / pet blocked buffs. Sic explains this in the MQ2Enchanter Pre-Release video > HERE <

Q. Why am I Not Pulling XYZ mob?
A. Not pulling a mob is almost always an issue either with your Navmesh or your pull settings. If you do a
/enc debugpull on once and it will cycle 1 time and spit out in your mq2 window all the mobs and why you are not pulling them. Compare the output with the mobs you think you should be pulling and it will tell you why. This will notify you if you have no nav path, or out of zradius, or regular radius, or on ignore, etc.Q.
