I propose an enhancement to KA which informs the MA / offtank (which is undocumented, use /mac kissassist offtank) to go get mobs running loose. This complements the current AGGRO routine, not replace. If a character is being hit by a mob, it broadcasts the ID of the mob, and then the MA / offtank(s) engage it. Currently this behavior does not occur. Note that if the MA is on a named, it ignores the request. It is a good idea to have an offtank in such situations, even the lowliest pet is helpful. The code:

1) Add a new bind:

#bind GetLooseMob /getloosemob

2) At the end of Sub Event_GotHit, find the final } and replace only that with (dont overwrite the last two lines):

} else {
/varset MyTargetID 0
/varset MyTargetName
/if (${Target.ID}) /squelch /target clear
/varset WaitTimer 0s
/varset AttackingMobID ${NearestSpawn[npc radius 39 targetable "${AttackingMob}"].ID}
/if (${Spawn[${AttackingMobID}].ID}) {
/moveto dist 10
/call Broadcast y "Mob >>${AttackingMob}<< (${AttackingMobID}) attacking me! "
/bca //getloosemob ${AttackingMobID}
}
}

3) And finally, add sub:

| SUB: Event GetLooseMob - Written by American Nero
| Considerations 1: MA changes target, unless on a named
| 2: MA changes target and stays on target
| Not implemented 3: MA changes target and then after an interval goes back to previous target
| 4: OT changes target and stays on target
| Not implemented 5: OT changes target and then after an interval goes back to previous target
