So, after getting everything set up and having only one real issue I had to post on (which was hilariously minor and simple) , I am looking to fine tune my current setup.
I've been trying to utilize the search function here, but I get some old posts and a lot of irrelevant results. So I figured one last post in this Support forum can't hurt, right?
Up front question: Is there a way to set an absolute anchor spot for a puller. Where no matter if he is within campRadius he will still move the 5 units to the anchor after pulling? If I could absolutely say that 100% of the time my monk pulls he will run back and stand on the campfire, all of my issues would be solved. I just don't see anything like this, and that is not what /camphere is...here's a breakdown of what I am running into and why I even ask about this.
My setup has my Monk pulling to a group of mercs, with PC's being passive (I have only set my shaman up to keep up Unity and Haste). Pulling and then subsequently engaging the pulled mob after the Merc Tank pulls agro is quite a process. CampRadius seems to be a very important setting, but I am still having trouble getting this setup working well enough to AFK confidently.
Sometimes my monk will just engage a mob he pulls (does not turn around and return to camp after pulling). - Seems to take place when I change CampRadius to a larger number?
Sometimes my monk will pull it back to camp exactly how I want him to, and then wait 30% to engage. - Seems to take place when I change CampRadius to a smaller number (NOTE: I have corrected all issues with /kisscheck)
Sometimes my monk will not run all the way back to the camp anchor point (which I ASSUME is the spot I was standing in when I started /mac kissassist). - Also seems to take place when I change CampRadius to a larger number.
I cannot actually confirm a 1:1 relationship between these situations and CampRadius. My sample size of situations is too small, and KissAssist seems to be very quirky so I have tests that seem contradictory. But, obviously CampRadius is important in my situation (using a tank merc). Besides CampRadius, a lot of other settings are distance unit based - I don't know what these Distance Units actually are. Feet, parsecs, pixels, +/-n on Loc? Is there a graphical representation of these units? Perhaps with additional known factors, such as the radius for Merc Assist? (Tanks won't assist a puller until puller is within X radius, what is that radius?)
Regardless that does leave me in a situation, though. Assuming the relation IS what I think it is, if I have CampRadius larger than MercAssist(Sony) Radius, I run into the possibility of pulling back to the edge of my campRadius which is still outside of MercAssist which is dirtnap territory. If CampRadius is smaller than MercAssist radius, I run into the potential of the Merc Assisting outside of CampRadius but inside of MercAssist which means my guy will not assist until like 60% or whenever he finally feels like jumping in because the fight is outside of CampRadius.
Is there a basic set of information I am overlooking? Are my problems easily solvable? If not, is this an issue that a lot of people are running into and tweaking settings as best they can to manage
