Minor tip for those Tanks/Scrappers

This is probably not worthy of being in the tip library, but I have found that hitting the (F) key (auto-follow) is very helpful for keeping that mob within arm's reach and within striking distance.
When you've killed the first mob, cycle to the next using your TAB key, or whatever you've assigned to be your Cycle Next Enemy key.
I admit I'm a keyboard and mouse fighter, and I do use those function keys :))

Happy Hunting!

Re: Minor tip for those Tanks/Scrappers

Just press/click an attack when your last mob is dead. It won't activate attack, instead it will target closest villian in line of sight. If your mob runs or gets KB'ed or goes insubstantial you can hit esc and attack to reaquire new closest target instead of going through the tab cycle. Handy if you don't (or can't cause your rooted) want to move and have those PBAoEs for the mobs crowding around you.

Re: Minor tip for those Tanks/Scrappers

I'm lazy I guess. I jus set my scapper up with a one button... I'm a mouse and keyboard too... so I click one, (I can't remember what I bound it to) and it follows....then press again... it selects nearest and follows... it get's annoying when your alone and get a runner... but nice all at the came time :)

I havent programmed it to my tank yet.

Re: Minor tip for those Tanks/Scrappers

I'm a hyper whirlwind of action constantly clicking attacks and action. Target change depnend on clutter...mouse is easiest for me if im being specific...if not just click the attck like was said :P. I find it fun to run circles around them and jump while hitting them and such and 99% of the time can do all that without ever missing a beat. ITs fun to do a mace upercut while jumping :P

Re: Minor tip for those Tanks/Scrappers

Yeah, I finally mapped my Tab key to target nearest enemy, haven't combined that with follow yet, tho, just too lazy to learn how to do it, I guess.

Sometimes I hit my next attack twice to target the next enemy, sometimes I hit Tab... just which ever way I feel atm...

Re: Minor tip for those Tanks/Scrappers

I think following a mob as a tank is dangerous. You might start following a mob from a nearby group, and before you know your team is overrun by too many baddies. I rather call out taunts and make the bad guys come to me. Much easier. And your team mates will appreciate you more too.
