Always

Can you reproduce the issue?

Yes. Doing the same raid with the current INI files that are attached.

Ok I have 6 EQ accounts. I have a good group comprised of: Paladin (95) cleric (104) Shaman (95) Necro (98) Enchanter (93) and a Wiz (94)
I am currently doing the pally epic 1.5. I am at the point in Plane of Nightmare (raid). Since the main mob s only level 80, won't be hard to bring him down.
The problem I am having is when each of the "graves" spawns a mob, the group of toons will not engage unless the main tank guy targets each mob. I am new to the whole kissassist / MQ2 thing. It does make the game very fun.
So I was wondering how you would code the INI files so that each toon would target a different "trash" mob, kill it, then go back to assist the main tank (the pally). When the main mob is finally targetable I would want all toon on him to drop him like a bad habit.

I am pretty sure for some the people that are computer progammers are thinking,,,"Get a clue noob", or "read look it up", "Seriously...". I am not good at computer programmer. Although I do try and not impose on people, so any help would be awesome. In addition, I am trying to save an INI file for each level of toons so that I could contribute.

I do drive the pally. AE-aggro works for the area I am in, but does not aggro all the mobs, Really frustrating. The chanty AE mez, same thing, not large enough AE to aggro all the mobs. I am able to get to two mobs before they become untargetable. Really really frustrating

The only thing I can think of off the top of my head is using EQBC and sending each toon a command to attack a specific mob. Mark your tank as Main Assist and use something like /bcg //switchnow However, with that being said, In your scenario I would run to every mob as it spawns and pull aggro and let the main tank do his job. Also, in your paladin ini file if he is the puller, you can try using Role=PullerTank Good Luck.

In your thank's ini, set targetswitching =1. Then make a social on your tank hot bars to broadcast the command /switchnow to all group members using either dannet or eqbc. This will allow you to manually change targets while driving the tank, then you hit that social key to make everyone else follow targets.
