Haha I did leverage my paint skills! I'll fix that screen asap.

On Monster tag List:
-Green = You do not have aggro on that mob
-Yellow = You are about to lose aggro or gain aggro from that mob
-Red = Mob attacking you

On tab targeting:
-Tab targeting works only on mobs visible to your camera vision, meaning if you move your Camera to close range and tunnel vision yourself you have less target to tab to. Which in some cases is a good thing.
-Tab targeting priority is as said first based on camera visibility followed by the Monster Tag list going down from the list.

Also please include in the guide that "Awareness" lvl 34 prevents Critical Heals too, and it usage is situational sometimes close to detrimental.

Where can I find documentation on awareness preventing critical heals?

Note: all numbers are pulled from my ass, and only used to illustrate my theory.

Lets say tank1 has been attacking a mob and has built up 500 threat.
Tank 2 is at 0 threat.
Tank1 has a full threat bar, tank2 has an empty threat bar.

Tank2 starts attacking the same mob and acquires threat at the same rate as tank1.
Time passes, now tank1 is at 1000 threat and tank2 is at 500 threat.
Tank1 has full threat bar, tank2 has 50% threat bar.

Time passes, now tank1 is at 2000 threat and tank2 is at 1500 threat.
Tank1 has full threat bar, tank2 has 75% threat bar.

From the bars, it appears that tank2 is catching up, but he consistently remains 500 threat behind.

This is just a theory, I have no idea if the threat bars work that way.

Tank 2 just do RoH combo but cast Provoke before Rage of Halone and Boom! tank 2 is the #1 in aggro bars

It is on Japanese forums under confirm bugged but if you insist there is an easy way to try it. Get your Whitemage to cast Cure 2 till he gets his Cure 3 sure Crit proc. Use awareness then ask him use Cure 3 on you. It WILL NOT crit heal.

Ahh if it's a bug that it will be treated as such.
