Question - How to make my melees stop attacking

[rfp84]

Hi all,

this is probably an easy question for most of you but i have not figured out a good way to do this.

So i start attacking a mob and all my melees also start attacking using kissassist at 95% using mq2melee as well. A certain point in fight i want my melees to stop attacking because i need to build more aggro with the tank.

What is the easiest way to basically tell all my melees to back off? I think ending the macro would be a bit harsh, is there a easy way to basically say "Stop attacking for now" and then send them back in when i want them to?

Thanks for your feedback

You can use the /backoff command

What Sic said and/ or check your skills and abilities line-up. Perhaps fine tune your skills and abilities so they are "more continuous" and "less bursty." With out seeing a parse, it sounds like your melee might be causing too much burst damage and it could be causing your tank to lose some aggro.

Just some random thoughts.

Be well well. Happy taunting, bashing, and disarming.

Thanks Sic, will try to give the /backoff command a try.

Elbrin: Its not always the situation that they do to much damage but sometimes i just want to pull them back and have them stop attacking.

The backoff command works like a charm. Thanks a lot

After using the /backoff command, what is the command to turn the attack mode back on?

/backoff on|off

Without parameters it is a toggle.

Be well. Happ KissAssisting.

ill agree /backoff... but the problem lies in your tanking. no way a tank should be losing agro like that if its set up right.

Better to tweak some other variables to allow the tank to be more...tank like.
