Quick question about targeting other members in da group. I dont have a problem with my other characters cause i dont need to target my members but while im monk i have to click on them in the party window to select them with my mouse. Hate that, are they any keys that selects them on the keyboard? I noticed v selects the fith person in the list though.

Doesn't like tab cycle through them or something?

I know f selects self.

You can customize you keyboard as you like. I want to chunk the mouse also. It just slows me down.

Digitalblast · May 25, 2005, 08:12 PM // 20:12

Dont think you can tab through them, f does select self. Even it if did i need to be able to select party members faster then just tabbing through them. So far V is the only key i know to select another party member and its always the last member or the fith one.

In the "Options" menu (F11), there is a "Control setup" button, where you can assign keys to specific actions. By default "C" is "target nearest enemy", "F" is "target self", and "V" is "target nearest ally".

You will also find options to target each specific member of your group (1 to 8), but by default these actions are not assigned to a key. You could (for example, as I have done), map "Target party member 1" to "F1", "Target party member 2" to "F2", etc., to have very quick targeting on party members. This is especially useful for monks. Note that for this example, you will have to remap the default F1-4 keys for switching weapon sets (if you use them).

That's exactly what I'm talking about. Monks look at the health bar of the team not the battle. I find with tmouse I often lose the cusor. Use purely keayboard stuff you can be fast.

Ahh cool thanks. Will make sure to do that when i get home. Can you check if the number key pad on the right has its own separate mappings.

BrokenSymmetry · May 25, 2005, 08:25 PM // 20:25

Yes, you can assign separate actions to the keys on the numeric keypad.

The only problem I have found is that while you can bind target allies to keys, what about their pets? I wasn't able to target them without the mouse.

as a Me/W "C" then "Space bar" are my best friend, you can quickly chop up a group of enemy's without having to freaking click around with the annoying mouse.

I agree there is a way to target next and target previous enemy and there is even a way to target closest ally, but why the hell no target next and target previous ally. For the primary monk this slows us down so much!!!
