Getting behind mobs on a multiple encounter - Page 2

I find it more easy if you turn off spell effects in options and turn up the intensity of target highlight and implied highlight this allows you to see the MA better and the mob.

I would really like to be able to switch off conjuror pets. Spell effects are not that bad, and highlighting the target helps a lot. But all these warlock, necro, conj, etc pp. pets really annoy me. It does help though to switch off NPC names.

Spell effects are the worse part for me since i raid on high settings and i dont like them off =p

I find it easier if i zoom in a little though...

Well I use the raid-settings of profit UI since my PC would just explode if I raided with high quality settings (for group play it's okay), and although I like the spell effects in group play, they just make my eyes hurt in a raid.

I usually zoom out as far as I can and tilt the camera in a steep (do you say steep?^^) angle.

Do you use the auto-face option?

Can you set it so that when you target the MT or MA only they are highlighted and not the whole raid? Is deffinately effecting dps imo.

I usually flip my camera away from the raid, unless it's something where I constantly have to be watching where everyone is (like Treyloth). Even as an assassin, you should be able to get behind him like that unless the mob is constantly bouncing.

i have some more examples for you, pictures and a video

colors are, red for target, blue for implied target and white for mouse over

here are the pics:

and heres the video

nothing special about it, but there are some scenes where you can see the highlight thingy in action. you also see that it wont work that good on "ghost" mobs so be ready for that.

some scenes are very short so you may like to pause the video

if that is exactly what youre looking for, i'll have look when i log in, since it was years ago when i did those options, so i cant remember where i did that

Hehe i like looking good..... err i mean.... like having something good to look at when raiding, especially killing trash for hrs... (Hope that sounded right =p)

And yes i do use that auto-face option, can come in quite useful.

PS: I can say steep =p

it helps also if you only show npc names you have in taget, i always use that option on raids so only the mob i have in target got their name over it

Ardain · 05-03-2007, 06:27 AM

Yeah for raids I always set NPC and player/group names on "target or mouseover".
