I believe you can only follow a group/raid member.
Yes and no - Yes, can only follow a group member, no, cannot follow a raid member if they are not part of your group within the raid

The last part is a bit of a sticking point with me as I have tried /follow with 7 accnts in a raid setup and the 7th char (who I had sitting off in their own group within the raid) was unable to /follow requiring me to manually move it all the time

When it comes to assist I simply use:
/autoattack 1
/assist {insert tank name here]

But I do admit - sometimes I have to spam it a bit before everyone is attacking so I tend to dbl tap it
I'll try the /autoattack 1 as first command. Makes sense, gettting em attacking first and then /assisting, but if they don't have a target, then still won't work. Might just have to break down and make one key dedicated to being assist and nothing else as moosejaw said .
EQ1, I'd do: /assist whatever, /pause 2, /attack/cast/whatever inserting pauses of various lengths when casting spells. Worked great. We're playing over the internet, always going to be some latencies, some people have worse then others, so I cannot understand why they don't have a delay as a / command, especially since they had it in EQ1. But they also didn't have the "implied target" as EQ2 does, which is throwing me for a loop. I keep trying to make hotkeys like I did in EQ1 and it is kinda the same /commands.

So, with implied target, if my warden has my tank targetted and the warden cast a direct damage spell or any kinda hostile spell, that spell will land on the mob that my tank has targetted? Or if the warden has a mob targetted and the warden cast a heal spell, that heal spell will land on whomever the mob has targetted? I might have a couple accounts with 5 year vet rewards, but EQ2 is a whole new game for me lol. So, as long as all my boxes have my tank targetted, they will assist him without me even needing a /assist command? So really, I don't need a /assist button, I need a /target tank button which can be hit well before going into combat and then all boxes will attack the mob via the implied target my tank has...? And while in combat mode, the only time I break off from having my tank or main assist as target for any boxes is if I need to cast a beneficial spell on a different box, but then I can just include a /target tank at the end of the heal spell.

EQ1 you can't /follow outside of groups either, but you can group up, /follow a toon in the group, then disband and you'd still be following that toon. I use to run an alpha team and a bravo team with my rogue taking point Alpha team had my tank and usually shaman +whatever. My shaman was usually /follow on my tank and all others in that team would /follow the shaman. Bravo team had my druid and my druid would join alpha team in order to set-up /follow, then disband. All bravo team was /follow on my druid. I'd run ahead and check things out with my rogue then run my warrior through which would drag the whole box army with him. If I was going to attack a target, I'd break off follow with my shaman at a safe location thats close enought o land spells, then run in with my tank. Fights over, shaman goes back to following the tank and all others never stopped following the shaman. Or if I was just transiting, my warrior would just /follows my rogue...yep...9 accounts following 1. Unfortunately, just checked in game and once you disband for EQ2, /follow ends.
