Question - Breaking Mez

[Jalerian]

Is there a setting somewhere that makes it so that only the Main Tank will break mez? I can’t seem to find anything in the instructions post.

Hmmmm, my main tank is the only one that breaks mez... is he set as MA and do you have target switching turned on for all your characters?

 

[Jalerian]

He is set as MA...and what is target switching?

target switching has nothing to do with mez, it allows the player to manually change the MA's target if you decide you need to. It is ignored if a character's role is set to Assist. There is no setting to control who is able to break mez. By default, KISS is coded to only have the MA break mez. But that doesn't mean it will always work perfectly. You could be using AEs or something outside of KA (possibly outside of MQ2) could be causing an assist's target to change.

If you’re using a warrior look at dissident expanse, also wade into battle.

My Main tank is a SK and two characters keep breaking mez. Situation: I pulled 4 mobs and start in on the first. Everyone assists SK and Enchanter locks the other 3 down. Once first is killed, I target second, taunt, and cast aggro spell on SK. Before I turn on attack, either the Beastlord or the berzerker break mez. The mob is below there assist percentage because of DS on incoming pull.

Yes, when you target the new mob and it's below the assist percent, the dps are going to start attacking. They're not going to wait for a human player to do their thing. Possible solution, allow kissassist to play the tank as well. Let it do the taunting and KA will send an attack call via dannet (or eqbc) when the others should start fighting.

There is a check at the top of the combat routine that checks if the mob is mezzed and the character not being the MA. In this condition, the character leaves the routine.

You can either lower the DPS toons [Melee] engage % or setup the tank to play in manual mode with KA running the [Aggro] section to re-grab their main target if a melee is pulling aggro.

Are you 101+? Set up Harmonius or Concordant Disruption and you should generate free AE aggro on mezzed targets whenever your healer heals you. I tend to spam my Explosion of Hatred/Spite buttons and manually position myself to use Stream into the mezzed guys too. If it's a constant issue, you could add one of our AE aggro spells to your spell bar and just use that at start of every new mob.

I am driving my main tank without any macros. Should I be running Kissassist in manual mode with nothing in the ini? My tank is level 75, as I play on progression.
