I know my code, Mike. I have never seen followers growl at mobs before. I should have guessed, but there is too much damn spam in this mud why I've never seen it. Mud moves fast, I don't use mud colors, and I've never seen that from followers.

This is just one more headache for tanks. I'm sick of people not paying attention that they can't simply sing or ask for rescues. Mud moves fast, leaders don't pay attention, mob growls and attacks and through the spam I have to figure out who's getting attacked? Yeah, this makes me want to tank even more.

-Toxis

[Gimlet]

this could potentially be messy

but i figured some way that might work around it....

you'd have to have a variable that's set to the mob's short descr, like

#ac {^$stabber places blah blah into the back of %0, resulting} {#var mobname $0}
#ac {%0 growls at %1 and attacks!} {#if {$mobname=!$1} {rescue $1}}

this way u'll rescue who's being growled at ONLY if it's not the mobname?

not sure, haven't tested it out since i don't have a tank char
