to specifically help ID some those options Target Forwarding and Show the Target of my Target are under the Combat Options tab in the options panel an explanation of what Target Forwarding does exactly which i'll use edan and anoth as an example because that option is primarily how i dual box so well When one player (in this case Anoth) has another player targeted (Edan), target forwarding allows that player to attack 'through' their player, only ever hitting whatever they have targeted! Vice versa, a player targeted on a mob, may HEAL 'through' the mob to the target of the mob on whatever player the mob is aggro'd on... example: Edan is attacking Dumbassorc, Anoth is targeted on Edan, but when he shoots off his skills, they will hit the Dumbassorc which he can see is Edan's target via the tiny vitals display that shows for 'show the target of my target'. Edan has target forwarding on as well! Due to Anoth's superior DPSage, Dumbassorc is agro'd on Anoth, which Edan can see this through the little tiny vitals that display for 'show the target of my target'. Because of this, Edan can stay targeted on Dumbassorc and toss his Words of Courage heal onto Anoth 'through' Dumbassorc BECAUSE Anoth is Dumbassorc's target! I can also swap it around so that Anoth has the mob targetted, and Edan target's Anoth to heal him directly and fight indirectly 'through' Anoth's choice of targets. I will do this on rare times when Edan is getting agro because of his badass healing (ie tonight where was healing Anoth for an average of 1k heals, as much as ~1400 a couple times (which is insane for a cpn who's heals delve as 411-611 morale!)) picture example to help visualize: in this example, i can heal duindir w/o having to target him directly because the mob i have targeted is targeted on him!

i thought a full setup of how i have my ui setup might help peeps too, as everyone likes to do them differently, this can give you all more ideas first the sshot: some of it is self explanatory, or explained within. as you may or may not know, most of the things showin on the screen can be turned on and off at will for pet classes- my pet bar (when i use one) shows up in the long blank spot below the middle chat box and above the potions- appropriately sized to fit in there by height. my combat action box is slipped in the space in the left tween the left chat box and qbars- everything sized up and aligned that it just barely fits in there nice and snugly. the blank spot on the right of the qbars, just before the far right chat boxes is where my alerts pop up- for emails etc my bags are arranged in a manner that junk fills up from left to right, and bags 4 and 5 on the right are aligned in a manner that i can keep them open w/o distracting too much from the screen for use of foods, scrolls, tokens, various other clickies that i dont want to waste qbar space on. as well as for items i want to keep track of amounts on. my more commonly/active skills are centered around/above the main qbar in a manner that is, mostly, efficient for me based on how often and under what circumstances i use them as i tend to, mostly, clicky skills for the captain, but if need be, certain ones are quick keyboard shortcuts away! (like my morale potions shift+ 1-4 in order of efficacy (least to most)) chat boxes... MAIN: is my main box, it houses the chats i use more readily- kinship/officer, fellowship, raid, storyteller, private tells and a couple other private user channels EDAN: is my rp tab, it houses say, emote, RPC, and also private tells (in case one tab is going fast, the other usually isnt, therefore i dont miss tells unless i am truly AFK/alt tabbed), but also advancement infos STANDARD: houses my combat, quest, errors, world announcements, and the 'standard' filter GLOBALS: (which you can't see the name of it cuz its under the standard with the way i have them placed together), houses all global channel types that i desire to keep up but rarely use or even check- but is nice to know are there when i do want them- these are GLFF, LFF, Trade, Advice, Regional, and OOC

I'm unnerved by the phrase in your text box: "40 000 Xp added to Barbat's Man-Thing"

I love the weird text he did with paintbrush. LOL! Makes the whole "threesome" and "Man thing" sooooo much less creepy. Ya. Sure.
