The same would be for Captains but I just cannot see anyone running around with six of them as there would be a lot of wasted non-overlapping/complimentary skills.
I've seen vids of 5x LM's + a Minstrel doing 6 man content. I'd imagine you'd be pretty gimped in the healing department with 6x LM's. I've also seen vids of 5x RK's and a guardian taking on pretty much any thing. Keep in mind that any class with a pet is a balanced around having the pet. It's also a mess trying to heal people's pets in sticky situations.


Personally, I have yet to set foot in a skirmish. I have, however, beaten all the GB instances with a my 6 char mixed party. The hardest part were the gimics where you need party members split up in order to progress. Other than that, it forced me to get my healing situated.

I used some pretty obscure keys like ` and \ for my binds. The `, since it's right below ESC, is easily spammable so I can use that in combat to keep meleers doing their thing. The other one, there's no way I'll hit it by accident or something.

Anyway as far as "F" for assist, instead I made an ASSFOCUS* macro so they're not assisting someone random, and bound it to F. This is useful for NPC questgivers vendors repairbots etc, and of course for those times you want to 5x /dance with someone.





*/assist focus . Don't be jealous of my wit.
I've been using a bind for my "select me" keymap, followed by a key that assists ('F') on press, and interact with target ('U') on release for my melee. I also have this coupled with "move to target" in order to get my melee guys to close the distance. The problem is that I have to hold the key down to manually insert a delay in the F and U, or sometimes my melee just stands there.

What is this /assist focus you speak of? As far as I know this doesn't exist in LOTRO. (your 5x /dance gave you away... lotro fellowships are usually 6 characters). I'd love to be wrong here, so enlighten me if LOTRO does have /assist focus. It would certainly make my life easier.
