Turning

Been multi boxing for 2 days and i love it. Can't wait till they get higher in lvl and I can do some real damage. My question is about turning. I didn't have to worry about turning and stuff too much in the starting area because nothing agros you until you attack it. Now that I have left that spot pretty much any mob I will agro. Here is what hapend to me a couple times. I would be running and I would agro a mob with my main i would stop and turn to attack it when i do that my team is facing the other direction of the mob. Sense I have the do not pass AD my team wont turn to the mob so i solo the mob. Does anyone have any advise? I know for the most part I all be attacking first, but as we all know that pat comes around that you didn't know about or that mob just respawned.

If it helps i use the new Belkin Nostromo N52 (think N52te). Don't have that much programmed on it (only lvl 6). I'll be making another post of the layout that i tend to use.

Set all alts to /follow lead; turn lead in such a way that the alts are following him to face enemy; attack; profit!

you could also use the 'other' movement keys to turn your alts.

so.. put WASD on the dnp list... but you still have the arrows...

I steer with my mouse and the others just follow so if the mob aggros on my main, instead of turning to get it, press whatever will break follow on the clones and keep running with the main out in front bringing the mob out in front too. Or turn to the mob, run through it, and once your guys are all lined up going the same way do the same as above. Even if the mob aggros on one of your clones, run back and pick it up with your main and do the same as above.

I tried that. I would try to circle the mob or try to get my alts to face it, but what happens is that my main can attack it, but the mob is on my alts and they are not in line of sight. My alts are sham so they rarely break follow sense they are casting. Maybe I am not doing the circling right, only happened a couple of times and all the times it happen is when i was trying to show off (sry giving you guys a bad name).

Was going to post a spec on my N52te but there are too many keys and stuff to layout :(


Edit:
Wow i know you guys are fast but didn't know this fast.... my reply was to Eteocles comment.

I'll try tonight to steer with the mouse and put AD back on the pass list and see how that works out.... Just worried that there would be a time that one of the guys is facing the wrong was and fixing him will put the others in the wrong was.

If i do this and get fear would this be a good idea or is there better. Using the main gather the other with the follow command and run a little so they back on top of each other again and then continue to fighting?

To quote Athene run THRU it ;) if they are on follow turning around running thru the pack and the mob should get everyone to turn around

Like Rob said, just use your arrow keys. Or get aggro with your main and pull the mob around in front of your group.

Yesterday was a big pain... Had to go in a cave and spawns where killing me making it so i needed to turn to target them. Took me after the 4th time of it happening before i remembered what rob said. It works great. Only 1 flaw so far when using the arrow keys it also turned my main, but i was like i rather have 3 sham attacking a mob then 1. After the 3 where turned currently i then used my AD to turn my main (they are in the Do Not Pass list). It will just take so time for me to get use to this. Still getting use to pressing key to use skills (huge clicker here).

I use WASD to move the main, and put all those on the DNP list. When I want to spin around on all chars, I press shift-A or shift-D, they still turn as shift WASD is not on the DNP list.
