Auto retarget hostiles.

Now, I am not positive about this, but for some reason I remember auto attacking aggro monsters after I have killed one and I have noticed that this isn't the case here. Just curious if anyone else remembers being able to auto retarget?

Seems like once your current aggressor dies, you would auto defend agains another attacker. I dont know for sure though. Seems like I remember sitting there only clicking bandaids in a crowd of orcs until they were all dead.

Should be relatively easy and quick test on the demo.

This is another issue that's currently fixed on test.

cool Derrick so what you're saying, if i understand correctly, is if you've got 5 mongbats mongbatting away at you and you kill the first one that aggro'd you, you won't just stand there like a dunce anymore and you'll actually proceed to kill the next 4 automatically?

That's correct. There's a post in the news section explaining some of this, although somewhat vaguely. You should autodefend because they will attack you while fighting, they do not currently do this.
There is of course some delay on this attack which initiales auto-defend, it will vary on the creatures thinking speed.

This sounds great! I'm amazed at how fast fixes have gone in lately.
