Mechanist - Attack My Target

[Kiof.5710]

Hi, is there a way to "lock" the Attack My Target Skill (F6) on so that the mech always attacks the next target (if applicable) after the current one dies?  Especially in mobs when a target dies and I move on to the next one, or mob members are melting due to the number of players involved, my mech is just standing around if I haven't noticed he isn't engaging a target.  Alternately am I doing something wrong and not using the F6 correctly?  Thanx!

No, not that you need to. I mean mechanist is pretty hands off already, but rebinding your keys might help. Attack my target is f1 for me, some bind that to mouse keys, etc.

Thanx for the response, I will give that a go.  🙂

You may have him in the guard role (name??)  instead of the normal attack role which makes it avoid combat

With it summoned you can see the mechs profession skills above your weapon skills and between those and your health globe will be a small unlabeled square that is either blue (passive/guard) or red (attack). If you see blue, click it once to make it red. You can click it any time even out of combat. 
 

side note: Ranger pets also have this feature

Thank you!  I just jumped into the game and that seems to have been my issue.   Appreciate the help!
