Does anyone know how to query the Actor ID from a hostile NPC prior to entering combat with it? I've tried everything to think of to get some kind of response to show up in logs but can't seem to find it. It makes using the /apply_verb a lot more difficult since the id changes when the encounter resets.
You can get it mid-pull if the mob does some emote of some kind via your logs. But keep in mind the ID will randomize when the encounter resets (e.g. if you wipe). The only way to get a hostile Actor ID before a pull would be with some kind of 3rd party shenanigans that SOE doesn't condone.
Honestly apply_verb should default to current target I'd when no actorid is provided. Or support some variable like %t.
