I've pulled a few groups unintentionally in heroics due to inconsistent tab-targeting which seems to be modified/recoded with Legion. And like many other players I've tab-targeted mobs behind walls, on floors above og below my char and even _behind_ my char. As someone else mentioned in a thread I've read it should be called /TargetRandomMob. :) Anyhoo! Back to the good ol' tab-targetting! Install this addon: https://mods.curse.com/addons/wow/advancedinterfaceoptions In the CVAR browser edit these strings and change their values to: TargetNearestUseOld to 1 TargetPriorityAllowAnyOnScreen to 0 WOAA! -- Peter T.

Oh, nice, I've got that addon but didn't know about those options, I'll give it a go! It seems to currently be set to "target any mob that is NOT the one standing in your face hitting you" as far as I can see :-P

What's lovely is when tab target picks up a mob that is out of range, but then your pet will go get it, pulling 500 level 112 elites. Yeah, I love that. > https://mods.curse.com/addons/wow/advancedinterfaceoptions Great addon. > In the CVAR browser edit these strings and change their values to: > TargetNearestUseOld to 1 > TargetPriorityAllowAnyOnScreen to 0 > WOAA!

If more than one, pick the one that will pull the most additional mobs." It was so bad today I just gave up after I got more than 30 mobs on me. Didn't die, but I was still pissed. -- On 20-12-2013 Wes Groleau wrote: >On 12-20-2013, 10:04, George Kerby wrote: >> 'Tis the Season to bitch and moan. > That doesn't fit the tune you @#$%#$&%$*#$@%T#^% !

Hehe. I'm happy that I started on Legion with leveling a shaman and a mage. I would have berserked if I'd started with my warlock. -- Peter T.
