Question - Pulling switches target on multi mob pulls - how to disable

[Mythaniel]

I tried searching, I believe this was asked before. When I pull a pack of 3 either manually with KA running or as "puller" mode. It'll switch to potentially a different mob in the pull once they all get to camp. This causes a number of issues for me and would just like this "feature" turned off if possible.

Set your Assistat to like 98 or 99 not 100 and have your puller target your tank when starting KA and have your tank target themselves when starting KA.

do your assisting damaging toons start at 100% or some lower value?

I had mine assisting at 100% but they'd assist and then my pullertank would switch to closest mob and nothing could be mezzed.

It got better when I set the assist at to like 98 or 95%

... beat me to it.

This is one of the reasons I did my called assist mod

I have the other characters assist at 98-99. The biggest problem I have is the chanter will mez the mob I don't have targeted and then when they get into camp they'll switch and now I got a mob beating on the chanter, while trying to mez the other mob. Whenever I just turned off KA completely on my tank/puller, it runs super smooth.

Where do I find this mod winnower?

What version of kiss are you using?

Try setting all of your assist at 97% or 96%. This allows the tank to select his target and should solve your problems.

The chanters mez has nothing to do with AssistAt %. Its based on the mez radius. They will mez regardless.

Also post you chanters ini

 

[Mythaniel]

So to confirm on the mez, If it see's there is more than 1 mob on extended targets it will attempt to mez the closest mob? does it take into account at all what mob the puller/tank has targeted?

 

[Maskoi]

It will try to mez all targets in range on the xtarget except the tanks

 

[Mythaniel]

How do I turn off the tank switching the target? Hypothetically I pull 3 mobs in that situation. The chanter mez's the first mob within range, then the tank decides to switch to that target.
Sorry trying to keep this as simple as possible, not understanding why the puller arbitrarily swaps to a different target initially other than the one that is targeted when pulled.

Fore me, it seems (when I do get multi mob pulls) if you try to pullone mob, and another agros, but th 2nd (add) mob gets to camp 1st, my pullertank will switch to that mob and start killing it, then as others (adds) enter the camp, my chanter mezzes them....
I have also seen where it doesn't matter which one I tried to pull, tank will go after the one that ends up on Xtarget slot 1....

Set your Tank to AssistAt 100 ... Set everyone else to AssistAt 98

I had the same problem a long time ago when my tank was set to AssistAt 99...

What is happening is your chanter is assisting your tank at 100%... So the chanter thinks... ok This mob is the tanks target I will mez everything else.
But then the mob hits 99% and the tank does his retarget/assist thing and picks a new target... the chanter still thinks that the original mob is the tanks target (because he only checks the variable after something dies)...

For a long time I would just tab to the chanter and force him to reassist with the /Switch command...

Thanks! will give that a try.
