Problem - Main assist is not assisting Tank, that is out of group

[matthinson]

I have currently two groups doing the job of one. I have a tank/clr in a 2nd group. Main group Has 6 DPS.... When multiple mobs are in camp, or if a 2nd mob adds the Main group Main Assist does not assist the War that is out of group but are all set to assist at 99% even if group or not. It works just fine if I pull 1 mob on the warrior myself, and when it gets into camp they assist. But any adds or pulls of 2 of more and it acts weird.

I just recently started back after a few months break, did not have this issue b4 and did exactly this. SO im assuming im just missing somthing?

TANk(group 2) is set to assist BARD(group 1) who is also puller. The other 5 Characters in (group 1) are set to assist warrior( group 2). And work just fine untill a 2nd mob adds, or there is a multiple of 2 pulled. When a multiple of 2 is pulled, they assist on the first mob properly untill killed. Then Add(s) in camp keeps flashing, but they stand there and do nothing while the warrior attacks the mob and kills it 100% even tho he is set to main KA MA .

Edit: new found info : when Add's in camp flashes, characters do not return to camp nor do they assist or attack. If I target the mob manually they attack perfectly.

Any suggestions, reccomendations, ideas? Thanks much!

Do you have the Extended target window set up so the 2 groups can see each other? You need to get the mobs on the extended target window as well for everyone Either by casting an ae, or heal the toon that currently has aggro. If you dont, things will get wonky.

The Problem is the Group.MainAssist. Never, Never, Never assist a pure Puller. A normal Puller should always assist some other character and no one should assist a pure puller, just my suggestion. The problem here is going to be, making sure the tank in group 2 grabs agro on incoming mobs. The way I would set this up is to have everyone in group 1 target the tank in group 2. Start up KA. Leader in group 1 needs to cancel Group Mainassist it the group window or group 1 will never get a target. Have tank in group2 target himself and start kiss. Put him in a location where he will pickup mobs as they run into camp. This would work better is you used the tank for pulling or move the puller to the tanks group.

The biggest problem is the mobs showing up in the xtarget window for the tank. The xtarget(s) is what gets watched, by the MainAssist, to select what mob gets targeted and attacked first.
