Tonight, I was able to get to my first champ spawn. It was crazy with all the explosions. Things were dieing before I could target them. When the champ spawned, I could not target him with everyone jumping on him, by the time I was able to do so, he was dead (I would say no more than 15 seconds).
Is there any secret to targeting the champ quickly? I tried dragging the target bar off him, when that didn't work, I tried alt-shift and I could not find him in the mess of other name tags.

Re: First Champ spawn
CTRL+SHIFT brings up all names.
Hold that down then quickly hover over where you think the name of the monster is (will appear in red)
and delete the names of players and pets with a right click of your mouse.
Hopefully that wont take too long. Then Drag out the enemie's Status Bar by clicking and holding down with a left click
and sliding away from the name.
That's enough for you to target all your pets and focus your fire onto the enemy.
All that should take a few seconds only.
Also Razor has targetting options, which I am unfamiliar with. But you can check those out aswell.
Good Luck and congradulations on your first Champ spawn.
At least now you know what to expect.

Re: First Champ spawn
I had no idea that right clicking will remove the names of other people/pets. I will have to give that a try. Thank you.

This is news to me too. Great tip!

For this, I would really recommend that you use Razor to create a macro that attacks the nearest non-friendly target.
This will sometimes target people in Angel form, but it's helped me target quite a few champs surrounded by a billion pets before. So it doesn't always work, but it usually does if you keep hitting it, eventually it'll target the champ.
You want to go into Razor and make a macro that uses two of the options under the "Hot Keys" tab in the expandable "Targets" menu. While running the macro, tab over and activate "Target Closest Non-Friendly" and then activate "Attack Last Target". This will cause you to immediately attack whatever happens to be closest to you.
This is also a great macro for general hunting, and I'm betting not a lot of people use it, because there seems to be some confusion about it whenever it's brought up in general chat.

Re: First Champ spawn
that works if there aren't a bunch of player in angel form next to you. 
Re: First Champ spawn
Thanks for the advice, I will give that a try
