Subject: Re: /assist problem


I find that if my Target is clear and once the /assisted tank starts
to fight, I don't get bugged too often. If I have something already
targeted (whether player or mob), I get bugged alot. It's easy for
me to keep my Target clear, but unfortunately, it's hard for my
group. :/ Is there a command to clear your Target? It'd be nice to
toss that into the /assist hotkey. Also, if I /assist too early
(before the tank hits autoattack), I usually get something targeted
that's halfway across the zone. It's strange.

I've run into the same cranky Enchanters, heh... I know it must get
frustrating on a very large raid because there's so many people who
can possibly make a mistake, but they do need to understand
that /assist doesn't work 100%. They need to play a Melee class to
see how it works before screaming at everyone.

ALSO, my biggest complaint is when the main tank goes AFK or is busy
doing something!!! Nothing is more annoying than hearing someone
chew out the whole raid about using assist properly, when the freakin
tank can't do his job! I've started adding a /bonk or /bleed to
my /assist hotkey, so I'll bonk or bleed on the target, or on nothing
REPEATEDLY if the tanks not doing his job. And I mean repeatedly.
