Warrior advice for stacking pulls, hotkeys, etc... Please

[Ploppy]

I have played a raid level warrior before, but after just now coming back since quitting Live in 04 I can't remember how I had my setup for pulling. Especially for stacking mobs for the chanter to lock down. I'm still pretty low, but I like to keep my good habits. Here is what I can't remember, any advice would be appreciated.


So we make a pull and I let all the mobs get a little ways from the group, then I will stand there only taunting unti the chanter announces a mez. Then I back up towards the group to let the chanter mez his next target. That's where I have a problem. I remember F8 is to target the closest mob, but I cannot remember the button to cycle through the mobs. After the mezzes are locked down I pick the remaining target, build a little agro and announce the assist via a hotkey I made.


In a 3 mob pull situation it goes like this. I pull and call out INC three times to let the group know I am coming with 3 mobs. Then I stop a little short and hopefully the chanter has a "Mezzing target" messsage (if not I watch for the graphic). Then I back up and target the next mob and let the chanter lock it down. Then I back up a hair more and call out my "Assist me on target" message. After that I taunt twice and break the mezzed mobs one by one in the order the chanter wants.

Is that right? Am I missing any obvious steps? It's pretty tough to find old school warrior advice from original EQ.

Options - Keys -> I personally use numpad ENTER for target scroll

THANKS

You are over-thinking it. Your other group members will already have broken the mez before you can even taunt it once. Make a hotkey that says "I'm the main assist. Duh. Wait for me."

Personally, I like groups with a separate puller, somebody who can actually get singles or FD if they fuck up. I /assist them when they are running back to camp. They pull the mob to me, I get aggro and they run for the next pull. That's a more efficient way to group rather than have the Warrior running around looking for mobs and then returning with 4-5 of them. Constant pulls. You'll be too busy tanking to pull. I find it's more common for me, at my level at least, to be grouped with a puller class vs an enchanter.

As an enchanter I prefer a mediocre puller. Great pullers will make me bored..

Well I usually send in a sacrificial ranger if I can. Alive/dead really doesn't matter as long as the mobs make it back. "Who's going to take the DT's in PoF?" :::all eyes go to rangers:::
