Hey, I've a caster group I'm running about and leveling. I've set the Wiz as MT/MA, and if I have multiples on a pull, when the first mob dies, I get a flicker between the next mob, and the last mobs corpse.
Any insights as to what would cause this? It's only been as of late that I've noticed and causes a delay of ~7 seconds for it to sort out, even if I target the new mob. I have to mash the /hidecorpseall hot key for it to settle down. Thoughts?
 
Hey Sic,
It will jump back from the next mob to the previous mobs corpse switching back so rapidly it looks like a flicker. Sictank, Tank also have the same outcome. It's like it can't decide what the current threat is.

the cwtn class plugins don't target corpses - we also throttle the speed that we target stuff so you'd never get a "flicker" - i assumed you knew this wasn't a cwtn thing since you posted in the random /yell section and not cwtn section, but yeah that's not something we do

I'd double check you don't have anything making you target random shit - or like "mimic me" stuck on

/hidecorpse looted might be something for you too.

you're not trying to run loot-n-scoot on live are you?
 
Hey Sic,
As I'm fairly ignorant, I must have posted it in the wrong place. I am using CWTN, and I have no clue as to what loot-n-scoot is, so I doubt it, unless that came standard, but I am playing on Live.

well, cwtn class plugins has a cwtn class plugin section - but again we don't target corpses, and we have a throttle on target changing on top of that so we wont target something more than once a second (without it you could go brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr targeting mobs and other stuff for buffs.

what happens if you pause everyone?

I'd check that you're not running a macro or a Lua that is doing it - or even an mq2event, a LEM, or react - first thing that pops in my head is if you had "mimic me" turned on on a background toon (or more than one toon).

loot-n-scoot is a Lua that looting, but "pre-advloot" where you have to physically loot a corpse

you're not running the new eq ui engine are you?

you dont have anything *weird* happening with your xtarget window do you?
