Any plan that requires you to move 5 differnt guys to differnt places with differnt keys at the same time is doomed.

Boxers are not mobil and you have to just accept that as a down side to boxing. In EQ I was able to get gear to see invisible and 'invisible invisble". Here I think I would umm ... have a 3rd person view and jamba or some add on to wishper an attack to your main, so you can very quickly determine wehre the attacker is then back up your main and spam your CL or whatever.

Again this is the skill part of the game. If your main is at 12 oclock and followers at 6oclock and attacker shows at 7oclock (compared to the followers) you have to back up your main through eightoclock (or 7 or 9 might be faster I have to trigometry it out sometime) as you have no time to turn around, as you back though 8 with main the followers turn towards attacker untill you can finally cast on him.
