    Here is my shaman's ini ..

    Code:
    Combat Buff=Spirit of the Panther/Binkastab/minMana|10/Gem|6
    Combat Buff=Spirit of the Panther/Binkaberk/minMana|10/Gem|6
    Combat Buff=Lingering Sloth/Binkapal/minMana|10/Gem|3
    Combat Buff=Talisman of Celerity/Binkapal/minMana|30
    Combat Buff=Champion/Binkapal/minMana|10/Gem|4
    Bot Buff=Lingering Sloth/Binkapal/minMana|50/Gem|3
    Bot Buff=Spirit of Wolf/Binkapal/minMana|10
    Bot Buff=Spirit of the Panther/Binkastab/minMana|10/Gem|6
    Bot Buff=Spirit of the Panther/Binkaberk/minMana|10/Gem|6
    Bot Buff=Talisman of Sense/Binkapal/minMana|30
    Bot Buff=Talisman of Fortitude/Binkapal/minMana|30
    Bot Buff=Talisman of Might/Binkapal/minMana|30
    Bot Buff=Talisman of Celerity/Binkapal/minMana|30
    Bot Buff=Champion/Binkapal/minMana|10/Gem|4
    Bot Buff=Levitate/Binkapal/minMana|10
    
    She will not cast any of the combat buffs in combat. Once combat is finished then its no problemo. Plenty of mana to do so etc.
    On a further note she used to cast SoW on the tank fine, she won't do that now either. Stopped working on Friday or so.

    There's probably some really simple newbie error here but I can't see it.

    take them off combat/bot buffs and just use the proc buff on, designate 1 combat buff, 1 group buff, and 1 bot buff and the proc buffs will be activated.

    also try MinMana

    Code:
    Self Buff=Spirit of Perseverance/Binkasham/minMana|30
    Bot Buff=Spirit of Wolf/Binkapal/minMana|10
    Bot Buff=Talisman of Sense/Binkapal/minMana|30
    Bot Buff=Talisman of Fortitude/Binkapal/minMana|30
    Bot Buff=Talisman of Might/Binkapal/minMana|30
    Bot Buff=Talisman of Celerity/Binkapal/minMana|30
    Bot Buff=Levitate/Binkapal/minMana|10
    Combat Buff=Lingering Sloth/Binkapal/minMana|10/Gem|3
    Combat Buff=Champion/Binkapal/minMana|10/Gem|4
    Group Buff=Talisman of Wunshi
    Proc Buff (On/Off)=On
    Proc Buff=Spirit of the Panther/minMana|10/Gem|6
    Proc Buff Class=ROG/MNK/BER/RNG
    
    Now it just doesn't cast Champion or Lingering Sloth at all.

    You don't need to declare a name for Self Buff


    Self Buff=Spirit of Perseverance/MinMana|30 try there first see if everything else lines up after that.

    Still doesn't cast either.

    Note, I can manually call for the buffs during combat and the bot will give them to me.

    Sigh.

    So, I commented out every line apart from the combat buffs and the proc buffs (it was not doing those either) and put them back in one by one. Testing every time. It now works with an identical config as to above.

    :(

    Don't fret. This is just Troubleshooting 101 so it gets overlooked. "Did you try unplugging it and plugging it back in?" ;D

    Try very basic stuff first, get rid of MinMana and Gems, basic basic basic

    Try just a bot buff:
    I honestly never understood the whole gem stuff, are people really casting enough spells that they need to dedicate gem slots to them?

    all buffs can be done on a default slot, keep your aura locked into your spells saved set and you'll never have a problem ever with dying/recasting stuff.


    Bot Buff=Spell/Name save /mac e3, if all else fails you can remake your INI, sometimes they go corrupt and just don't do anything. Best if you try one thing at a time though, and not trying to do 100 things while troubleshooting.

    Back to NOT working this morning. I think we can rule out issues with the syntax in the ini. There is something else going on here.

    EDIT : So, a /mac e3 fixed it. This is bot was one I crashed trying to use aapurchase and then just brought up again. I am going to suggest that issue is what is causing this issue.

    Now using meditate with hold, or calling for a debuff stops her casting Combat Buffs and Procs. Seriously, I am close to uninstalling. This works fine for everyone else, it shouldn't be this hard. No disrespect intended to those who have spent time helping me already.

    So, I've run into this a few times. My issue was that it would not recognize a handful of bots. I had to make sure my bots have one buff on them at all times to start. I usually do this by doing a Group Buff/MGB, or begging for buffs. Then reload e3 or zone (not sure which since I have not had to do this in quite some time due to always having buffs now). At this point e3 should recognize your netbots properly.

    Just out of curiosity, are you using a custom UI interface? I had a hunch back when I had issues that it was related to my UI for some odd reason because when I swapped back to default, it started working... Dunno, but would be interested to hear. G'Luck.

    At the moment I am working around this by not calling for slow or putting my shaman in to med /hold. This is working well enough for the one group content I am doing. However, this is absolutely reproducible now, and I do understand its an issue with my config file and not the macro itself. Just scratching my head trying to determine what it is.

    When a bot gives me trouble I copy their ini and delete the old one. That is the "turn it off and in again" for bots.

    Also check for trailing or leading spaces in the ini.
