(ie. bash, rescue, ect..) this way you can time certain actions to shift the mobs attacks to the strongest (most hp bundaant) person and then shift when necessary. This brings to mind my most favorite move in a group. A bash takes 3 rounds (i think) you get three people in a group. 1 bash, mob no attack, 2 bash mob no attack, 3 bash mob no attack, <chuckle> 1 is ready to bash again. <chuckle> i loved to do this ;) a little tacktick advice to help someone out. sorry couldn't resist :) Christopher M.
