set a button to cycle through closest NPCs. It's easier to EQ with keyboard most the time.
When you are the first to engage, ergo tank, you do not have the time to do that. You pretty much are the one making the decision which one to engage first. Think about if puller gets 4 mobs, you are going to cycle through 4 to pick and which one you going to take? Everyone would be dead by then. One mob maybe, but EQ is not a perfect world. It is tuff even for say a CC char to cycle through them to snare or root fast enough. But pretty much how you have to. /assist Bob lol works for the other DPSers.

But a good tip on your part for the new people how to figure out what mob to hit.

wat

tapping a cycle key 3 times in half a second is much faster than trying to click on a pile of mobs with EQs shitty click hitbox accuracy.

Really? ``````` on inc takes like a second and a half tops. You can see the mobs coming so you only need to glance at the target window. Even `c`c`c`c is pretty quick if you don't have so many inc.


Besides, sometimes the puller will have the best mob pretargetted on inc for the tank to /assist.


And if you are playing Halfling you are sitting there pre-snuck waiting for the monk to Fd them so you can snag a single.

I sure as hell hope I am never the Healer or Enchanter in your group if you are the Tank with that statement. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.][You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
