I've dropped support entirely for bot.mac and mq2bot will eventually do everything and more that bot.mac did. The only things missing really are full on pull support and buffing group members other than using group self buffs on yourself. im actually surprised so many people even use bot.mac considering the plugin is so much easier and does virtually the same thing with 0 setup. Maybe people are afraid because they think a plugin is hard? i dont know.
As I've said in the past, Pete, I didn't like the plugin because it lacked the fine grain control of the macro. I'd get into a fight with a trash mob and the wizard would unload every one of his AA on it like I normally scripted to wait to do on a named.
If the plugin INI allows me the same level control as the macro, I'll try it again. While ideal, the macro has a lot of issues that I can't fix.
You can adjust for when the AA goes off. Let's say when you /bot on the AA comes up as Nuke1 on the list, you can set the nuke to go off only on named by typing NukeIf1=${Bot.Named} in the ini. With that said, I've changed over a couple of my characters to the plugin recently and noticed a few things that could be improved per class. Perhaps when Pete returns from his break, I'll make a few suggestions. Plugin wise, I've noticed an improvement with the bard and shaman but the mage seemed to work better with the macro.
