Kids doing maths these days???

Because of macro, I always tag marking in order 2->3->1.
Then, some ppl dont seem to recognize the number on the mark, but memory the marking order instead. :confused:Keep getting ppl attacking 2 instead of 1.....

Is there any particular reason you mark them in that order? There are some people who just don't seem to understand what a mark means, but unless there's a particular reason as for marking the targets 2->3->1, why not switch it to 1->2->3 and see what happens? Maybe it'll help; maybe it'll be pointless, but I don't think it'd hurt to try.

Let your party know before you start the content the kill order. It shouldn't matter how you mark them when u are in the fight. My parties we just use the Alpha marks already on the targets.

Target alpha order (unless priority monsters like succubus in AK).

Because I am using Shield Lob macro to attach Mark1, which also the skill I start the fight with, so I dont need to worry about marking if less than 3 mobs around. Hence 1 always the last~

I just use the Circle mark over what everyone should be focusing on and move it over to whatever I want the party to kill next when the previous one is close to death.

Of course there are those times where the DPS are insane and switch targets leaving the first one at 1% health but those are rare.

Marking is always.. 1>2>3 thats how ppl count.. if you do it different than explain it..

Hi guise, I do things differently, people should just know.

Press buttons, collect loot.

At least you aren't like some tanks that mark with stupid orders like Chain 2, Cancel 1 and Triangle and expect you to know which to kill. It should be obvious to ALWAYS mark and kill 1-2-3. Baffles me that people can't follow that.

What I don't get is how some people can see a group of 3 mobs, see 2 of them marked 1 and 2, and then still be curious if they should kill the unmarked one first or not. Sorry for assuming you could count.

(When I say "you" I'm not talking to anyone in this thread, just the hypothetical person attacking the unmarked mob instead of 1 or 2)

Marking more than 1 target is a waste of time unless the mechanics of a fight demand it.

If you mark the summoner mobs in AK first floor as 2, I'm attacking that one first. Why? Because it's one of those priority mobs. If they're just attacking w/e they feel like, then that's their fault entirely

Sometimes marking 2 and up is useful, leaving 1 open for opportunistic targets. One example I can think of is in Brayflox during the fight where a lizard-type enemy comes into the ring and starts chasing the goblin around. The 1 would be reserved for that target.

I understand people are used to seeing markings in numerical order, but we all have the capacity to adapt :P

Mobs don't need more than 2 marks to let people know what to kill first, pro tanks mark on the go, screw pre marking!

You either mark just 1 or mark them in the normal order of 1 2 3

But sometimes it doesn't matter, people sometimes attack random and then wonder why they got hate on them.

I've always been baffled by the people who mark every mob. Anything more than 1 (for most pulls) is too many anyways, but why on earth mark the last one too? I'm pretty sure people can figure out which to attack when there's only one left to fight.

Most of you people complain about the most stupidest of things..
