Subject: Re: [eqbards] /assist problem


I have found, regardless of what group make up I'm in or what the puller is
using to pull, /assist can't be trusted. I've begun twisting songs only to
notice halfway through a battle against a single mob that I've got no
target at all.

I still have it hotkeyed, but as soon as possible in a fight I mouse click
whatever appears to be the main target just to be sure.

Peace
Evulia, newbie for life, Tunare

Looks like they do get a single target spell Whirl Til You Hurl that could
be used to stun a single mob, but yes, overall enchanter stuns are aoe.

Interesting that this WTYH spell can be used vs the giants. Was very
interesting that my cleric's stun/holy might would stun giants, yet the
enchanter stuns would never stick. We may have to experiment with WTYH at
sometime as well.

As for AOE stun based around the caster, now I understand why you were
saying they could mez more utilizing stun than they could with just AOE
mez.

I have noticed something that could very well be a bug. My wife (druid)
would pull froggies to us. I'm sitting next to her so I see what she is
targetted on. I push my "/assist <char_name>" button and interestingly,
find that I'm targetted upon a different frog. (Of course <char_name> is
filled in with her character's name)
It has wreaked a little havoc having our necro Dot'ing the wrong frog. It
happens intermittantly to us during pulls. I've asked my wife to keep her
autoattack on even when returning to the camp to see if that helps, but it
has made no difference. Sometimes we have the right frog, sometimes not.
