Question - How do I force KA toons to attack my target?

[virtuoso65]

As of late I have had this problem where when I am pulling I may target other mobs for mez/lull/punt etc and then pull the target I wish the group to fight. The problem is the group is locked on to one of the other targets and will not change to my current target. I have tried using /switch and /switchnow but neither seem to work. Any suggestions?

 

[mofoasso]

//BACKOFF
/target mob
//switchnow

 

[saar]

/bcga //switchnow

 

[virtuoso65]

Hmm.

Seems like it would work but nope.
/bcg //assist me
/bcg //backoff
/bcg //switchnow

they target but don't attack.

Well, now none of the toons will fight at all until i restart kissassist.

/bcga //switchnow

This works

 

[mcarpe]

doesn't KA automatically switch targets if the member marked as assist switches targets?

This works

Nope, group is just standing there watching the puller get beat down.

I am playing puller toon, it is flagged as Puller and MA.

Every few seconds they stop attacking and go back to targeting the other mob that was punted during the pull.
The only way to break the group out of this fixation is to either pull that mob or to reset KA on all of the toons.

I never had this problem until just a few weeks ago. I tried going back to older versions of KA but that didn't solve the problem.

This very well may be a setup problem of mine but if it is why did it work fine until now?

I play the bard flagged as puller and ma, KA runs mage with earth pet for tank, shaman, cleric, rogue, and rogue/(baby sk).
I have the mage target the bard when the ka macro is triggered, the rest all target the mage and run ka. I have tried other setup for this but this one seems to have worked the best until now, if I have them all target the bard then they will start casting on or running off to attack during pulls even well beyond the melee and camp radius set in the .ini's.

Who are the other toons assisting? As in who is targeted when you start kiss?

Just so you know, if you do /bcg //backoff, you will have to do it again or they will never engage..

/bcg //backoff once will essentially pause their attacks (not pausing kiss), and doing it again will toggle it back on..

 

[Maskoi]

/bcg //backoff
/bcg //assist ${Me}
/bcg //switchnow
/bcg //backoff

Technically just

/bcg //switchnow

should do it

For what its worth, I gave EQMules version of KA a try and the problem has not come up again.

it is more than likely an alias issue. You need to redo your aliases.

Oh man! I laughed so hard when I read this! Made my day! Hate when that happens.
