So yesterday i was reading if you ctrl, double left click on a monster, it lets the party know who you are attacking, it also makes your henchmen attack. So if you have a fighter henchman, he will run in first if you are a monk or ele or something, you can stay back, and have him get aggro...
Also if you ctrl, double left click on a party members name you auto follow them.
Just fyi =)
i wish iknew this earlier, makes soloing with henchman far easier since i never get attacked

Does the auto-follow continue to work if you "catch-up" to the one you are following?

Think I did this last night, but it did stop following at one point.

if you just double click on them it makes you follow them till u catch up, if you ctrl double click, u stay following, and it says in party you are following the one you clicked

Oh cool, theres a way to make henchman focus fire(I always knew that if you were on a team it made you say "Im attacking yadda yadda" but never knew it affected henchmen)? I wonder if theres any more ways to control henchmen, maybe some of those missions I had always considered "unhenchieable" really aren't....

Could you please tell me where u read this? This stuff should be in the online manual but the online manual I have seen is crap. Where is the best place to read up on all this stuff instead of just stumbing across it?

If you don't like mouse clicks...do ctrl-space once you've selected the monster.

Combination of "C", then "CTRL-SPACE" is standard engagement "hot keys"

Enjoy.

TAB to find target ctrl-space to call target. They need to do a learning session on that in pre-searing. I get tired of teaching it to all the players just getting to PvP.

I read it in one of the forums that listed the commands, might have been this one ore gwunderground.com
This should also work for ranger pets, and necro pets too
