    That's why they gave you the "Engage"/"Disengage" options.
    And believe me I do use those commands as need be. However, there are times when that is terribly inconvenient.

    The main incentive for me making this thread is actually the Tonberry King. The tank npc goes out of their way to attack all of the adds, including the stabbers, when all I need/want them to do is tank the boss. As a dps I go after the adds and take them out easily, but it's rough on the squadron when the tank runs around attacking adds with the boss in tow. Not only do I have to attack the adds immediately to kill them but I also have to stop and spam engage on the boss so the tank stops chasing the adds.

    Would something like you said that ignores adds but called say Focus. Problem is how do you get the tank to be told not to focus on adds while you and others can? Someone can probably remember, was the implementation of something similar to FF-12 Gambit system going to pop up? Or was that just talk that got jolted up here?

    Gambits, while not needing to have so many categories, would make things maybe a bit better. You would still need a toggle, what would make the bosses differ from normal trash adds that they could use to tell them apart?
