For general tank discussion, I can OP some info if we develop enough.
The catalyst for the thread is that I'd like to develop a consistent target icon system for all the BC/SLAP tanks to use so that whenever we're doing guild groups we all know what the icons mean and get a more consistent experience when grouping with our folks. I'll update this post with colors and niceness once we decide on a system.
But for now...what are you tanks using the icons to represent? I've only dabbled with the system in a couple early FPs, but I'd like to be better about using them as things get more difficult/complicated.
And as always, I appreciate the patience groups have for this newbie tank :) Always open for constructive criticism and advice on being a better tank.

Slap has used the same targeting scheme for years, I have no idea what the icons in SWTOR are and if they translate though.

Kill order is Skull, X, triangle, square, Fordel's CC target is moon, Proudft's CC target is star, sickrubik's CC target is circle, trap diamond.  Sadly, no, they don't translate. Except maybe by color, but that doesn't help when I'm the one marking targets. |

Trap was SQUARE. Diamond was banish. Also in case you didn't notice, the kill order is reflected in "number of lines." |

Trap was only square if we had 2 hunters, and ha ha you act like we ever had a warlock in the guild.
=================
In any case there's another big problem currently with them, which is that they can't be keybound (I think.) I'm hoping that changes as it seems a really obvious UI improvement.

Trap was square. I will swear this until my dying day. I was always square. Even in the five mans.
But yeah, not being able to bind them seems shitty. There's a lot about the UI that could use some general unshitting. And I say this as someone who has a VERY HIGH shitty UI tolerance.

The only two I've seen used or used myself are bolt for CC and the targeting reticule for kill target.

Trap is square. This was as universal as Skull, X, Triangle.
In my guild's groups Poly was typically Moon and offtank was condom.. err.. shield... err.. circle. Diamond was other-random-cc, typically sap.

Can the symbols be set via keybind or are we limited to rightclick?

Except for one purchasable social 1 item that makes a green diamond thing that's usable from your toolbar, then. Maybe just have the CC'ers mark the mobs they're gonna CC with it, and the tank can go plant him/herself on the boss with the nice big yellow star by its name, and everyone else aoe the non-marked stuff.
