[Hapke, Matthew] NOpe. No suggestions. This is the life of our

[Hapke, Matthew] Click on the health bar of the group member
who is fighting the mob you want to attack, then type /assist The
client will then target your group member's target. Very useful for
enchanters! You should teach your whole group this command so they can
concentrate on one Mob at a time, while you mes the others and make
them wait their turn =)

[Hapke, Matthew] This happens in all the dungeons. In Black
Burrow where I have spent a lot of time, my pet fequently gets left
behind. He does eventually make it out, but sometimes I have to go and
unstick him.
