Idea - Backup Tank?

[Tovin]

I don't know how feasible this is, but I would love a setting that makes one of my Assist bots convert to a Tank bot if the main tank dies. Basically, I play a group of six characters and I'm either active on the Main Tank or completely afk. If the Main Tank goes down and doesn't get a res, my other 5 chars usually sit around and die unless they are actively fighting a mob. I'd love a setting where I can designate a second char to switch from Assist Mode to Tank Mode if the MT dies. Thoughts?

I am assuming you are referring to KISS. Setting up the Assist tank to switch to Main would not be that hard to code. It would be the group members knowing whom to assist in the case that the Main Tank dies that would take the most code. If someone was to do this the first thing that would be asked, Can I have my Mages Pet be backup Tank for my group, and that my friend will just open up a whole new set of problems.. This definitely does not meet the KISS standards, but I can see where this would be cool.

I have never had an issue with the rest of the part "giving up" when the tank goes down, you prolly need to go over your ranges for your camp on all your toons, they should see "mobs in camp" and swap to them and keep killing, at least that's what mine do...

ctaylor22, I certainly understand that complication.

Razkle: my other chars don't seem to have a problem finishing off the mobs in camp, but if a new one aggros everyone just kinda sits there, heals, but doesn't attack.

you might look at your radius setting for camp then bud, your team is supposed to see the adds in camp and smash them....

 

[Zeeeeeee]

is there a way to keep the main target getting agro on the adds? cause the way kiss is doing he only tanks the first target that comes in the targets windows
