[Suggestion] Duty Support

I feel the need of a Auto-Engage button switch ON/OFF.
It's a bit annoying to go in front of the tank to start engaing the fights while you take damage until he takes aggro from you. It could be implemented on Command missions as well. Aside from that, duty support is a great tool to level up your DPS alt jobs, you don't need to wait 10 minutes to start a dungeon. :)

I've personally been using duty support quite a bit, and though I understand what you are asking for, I feel like - in my experience - "auto-engage" is already on, all the time.

There's a sweet spot outside of aggro range where your tank will auto-engage. When you step into that, the tank pulls. You might turn on RP walk and slowly walk towards a group of trash or a boss to see what I mean. You shouldn't need to pull yourself and then have the tank pull stuff off of you.

Yeah but you have to trigger it, still annoying in my opinion. Tank should go non-stop and not wait for you to decide.

Isn't part of the duty support, is for people to enjoy content without having to worry about tanks doing that? I mean that's why I do Trusts/Duty Support. I use it when I am not in the mood to constantly run behind someone keeping their health up while they pull wall to wall and aren't geared to handle it. Trusts/Duty Support is meant to be engaged at a slow pace. Like it was previously stated. All you have to do is get close enough to the pack/boss, and the tank will just go. You don't have to initiate any kind of attack to begin combat for the party.

That's why i mention a button switch on/off to pleased everyone not just some people.

I agree with Allizu, it's annoying. In fact I would rather the avatars didn't walk in front of us at all, it ruins screenshots. The one thing that is better in Squadrons is the command bar were you can tell them to engage or withdraw.
I even found one fight, forgot which one, where I could stand outside the purple line but when the NPCs stood in front of me, just barely inside, they were close enough to pull the Boss. I just moved back and let them die cuz I wasn't ready yet.

We have that in Squads Grand Companies battles. That system sucks.
