Everyone knows that if your tank is assisting someone it may not engage mobs brought into camp if the person who the tank is assisting does not have the in-camp mob targeted. Not sure if that is 100% of the time, but have seen it and it causes deaths.

Now, you ask why would your tank be assisting someone? Well 2 reasons: In the world of KA, ASSIST is part of the name and I would expect the Role Tank to over-ride this behavior (although in the past I would have tank target self). 2nd, I did not have a /tar clear in my Tank's KA startup hotkey and the tank had the puller targeted for whatever reason (hell, I coulda done it myself - just takes an errant click when in his window - or perhaps groupwatch=1, or maybe it had previously buffed the puller - I dunno). I am usually in another window and never thought to check tanks target when launching/relaunching KA. Tell me I'm the only one...

My tip; if you are using a hotkey to start/restart your tank, put a /tar clear in it (or target self) otherwise it could mistakenly have someone targeted and end up in some kinda tank/assist limbo hell.

That's all.
 
Hotkey
Rich (BB code):
/target clear
/delay 10
/mac kissassist tank
 
I did this so many times trying to start for testing looting...Finally broke down and made hotkeys to target properly. I had one time the stupid wizards were assist each other and the cleric thought he was tanking... bah
