Autofollow issue?

I'm running around with 5 clerics at the moment, running a cabalist/druid/warden spec. I've been having issues with IWT and assist, they were not as crisp as I'd like usually taking a couple of tries to get it right. Well I figured out what the problem seems to be.

Whenever I toggle follow, it alternates between following my lead character, and my lead characters pet. I have no idea why it is doing that, is this normal functionality or did I mess something up ;p I guess, party target hotkeys toggle between targetting the player and their pet. Is there a way to turn that off? I am a huge autofollow spammer and it is causing mayhem with my healing hotkeys ;p

LotRO, EQ2 and SW:ToR off the top of my head all do the same thing - 1st time you target via hotkey, it does the party member, 2nd does that member's pet. I avoided it by adding a step to target self, then target lead and follow.

That's MiRai's video guide to setting up FTL for RIFT. Not only will it solve your pet targeting problem. It will also allow you to join raids (public rift groups, Instant Adventure) and still be able to follow and assist.

Targetexact is what you need to be using if you aren't, as MiRai's video shows.
