    I can not get toons to cast more than a single dot (over and over again on the same target like they're nuking.) My dots on assist in the ini file looks like:

    [DoTs on Assist]
    Main=Immolate/Gem|3/ManaPct|30
    Main=Drones of Doom/Gem|4/ManaPct|30

    But this will just cast Immolate over and over, and never get to Drones. Do I need to add code per line specifically to see if it's already been cast on the target and then go to the next line?

    you need "Inpect Buffs" leadership AA for it to properly work since that's how the client becomes natively aware of dot timers.

    maybe add
    /maxtries|1
    in the meantime as a sort of workaround?
    (not 100% sure it works)

    Yeah, that's what it was. What threw me off is that bot buffs work without repeating the first buff on the list until oom, and recasting automatically when it dropped before having that LAA. But that's macro'ed toons interacting with other macro'ed toons not with sever controlled mobs.
    Thanks for the answers though, I appreciate it.

    Inspect Buffs has 2 ranks, but rof2 client and PEQ exist after a later overhaul, where the first rank comes for free, and the second rank benefits happen when you get rk1.

    Namely:
    PC buffs are shown by default
    NPC buffs need rk1
    rk2 doesnt give anything.

    Also, for your OWN bots, netbots will provide buff information via mq2 anyways.

    For your usage case: add /rotate
    This way it will cycle through them instead of spamming the same one. This will still spam them all until OOM. you can also use /MinMana|20 or whatever on specific ones to prevent using if mana is too low.

    However, the real fix is to just get the leadership aa Inspect Buffs rank #1 of 2. This will allow you to see the debuffs on the target. And then mq2 knows when to stop trying.

    I did end up getting the leadership AA for my current "main" tank and everything works great as long as I have that toon lead the group(s.)
    I'm just playing around and familiarizing myself again with the game on my own self hosted emu on the same box that I run my bots on. Here I noticed there's a server setting in the Spire->Configuration->Server Rules->Spells:AlwaysSendTargetBuffs that specifically states it bypasses the need for the AA. So I think I'll set that for subsequent groups.
    My goals are to get a few bot groups leveled up and try my hand at bot'ing through some raid content. Currently refamiliatizing myself with the game and the classes by leveling the toons up from 1 (which is not the grind it used to be.)
