    Wounded enemies attack. Dead ones don't.

    As a melee dps you're conditioned to always target the target so you don't draw aggro away from them. If you start attacking mobs with the highest health you could start causing aggro issues and I know when I'm tanking I always want any dps to focus on my target.

    Whether I'm tanking or healing, I'd prefer that melee dps target the mobs that are low on HP and eliminate them. It takes very little time, doesn't cause aggro issues, and makes the pack more manageable overall. Nobody really cares about the BLM or SMN's deeps "being wasted" in your average dungeon run. Nobody really cares if the entire pack dies in Flare at the same time either. The run isn't going to go any faster if we wipe because the tank gets killed by Final Sting from a nearly-dead bee that nobody could be bothered to hit two more times.

    Uhm... I never had a problem with what the other DPS does when I'm AOEing. I only care that my POT(point of attack) is the same target the tank is attacking.

    I got to meet ppl in DF and, in some occasions, of where DPs attack the one mob that just came back, and I got to get aggro and hatred on it. Both DPs forget about the one I am 100% sure to keep agto which make me rotate to the new one to have aggro. What is the next thing they do they both move to the ones I have not hold aggro. It is a constant fight. I rarely lost aggro at least it is a blm trying to attack the mob that it's coming to us but then I provoke and I get it back. Some DPs get mad cuz they start to do their own DPs check with killing w/e they can asap to steal aggro. It is kind of cute to see their stupidity in action.
    If they could only do the same with the bosses insteas of just kill it slowly. Another thing that would be good is to help to take the obstacles away from the boss aoe. Some DPs just stand there attacking the boss and even forget to help their other fellow DPS cuz they think LB and DPs asap a boss with 24% HP will save us all.

    I always attack every monster and make sure they'll die at the same time. so SMN dots will not be wasted.

    As a healer i prefer stuff dying over every mob being at 10% so they can die together. Even 1% mobs do damage while dead ones don't.
    It makes my life a lot easier.

    I'd just like it if they hit the marked target.

    I prefer you attack the one I got marked.

    I built a shyte ton of threat on it and then start rotating. If you're wailing on the unmarked one I'm hitting, you *will* pull hate.
