Sawed Off

Gonna download it now and see....

I believe it's in the Advanced tab within the stock Interface options.

that's a great sig, btw, Vagary!

As a lock, I almost always keep the raid groups turned off once we get started cuz there's no real reason for me to have to ever find another player in the raid. If someone asks for a healthstone, I turn em back on temporarily to find their name, then look for the char with the circle at their feet, hand em a stone, then turn groups back off. I seriously wish there was a slash command for turning them on and off tho, that'd be much easier than having to press O, mouse up to check the checkbox, and shutting down the guild box again.

As for the Imps aggroing, I think that that musta been me. I was the only non-60 player there that night, and I did go up to the downed doggies to work up weapon skills, and they were somewhat near the doorway. I musta grabbed some lvl aggro being near the door.

I believe you can /target NAME to find someone as well? Would save a bit of clicking...



Thanks Vash!

I just type in /target <player> to automatically target them rather than play "where's waldo?" Name doesn't have to be completely typed in if it's unique. With Clouseau, I can just type in /target clou, but for people like Danin and Danira, it's all or nothing.

I always use this command when I'm in IF to find you guys if I'm not in a group =p. Very handy if I'm trying to do a trade and the same in raids to hand out healthstones.

Btw, I noticed you all say /target name.
You can also just type /tar. Maybe even /ta for all I know, but I always use /tar name. Just a little time saver advice.

I do that sometimes, but my brain just goes with /target most of the time since that is the word I'm thinking about when I want to find someone.



When I want to find someone, I target them and use mind vision! No more "I'm at the bank, where are you?" "I'm there, too, don't see you" conversations.

I do this all the time when handing out drink at raids. If the person is within trade distance, you can just /tar whoever and then drop the goods right on their portrait. If they're not within trade distance, a quick /follow will usually do the trick with minimal effort on your part, unless they're really out of range.

By the way, I find it best to follow /tar Vamen up with /feather Vamen.

Widge goes to raids? I see no evidence of that!

(Hope work lets up for you soon.)
