Hi Evilseed,

Are you doing "/assist" or are you doing "/assist focus". Once your followers have your main as the focus then "/assist focus" will force them to attack the mob you are attacking (if you are). I find that sometimes my followers don't register the proper target especially if I switch target then quickly press the assist keybind again they sometimes still pick up the previous target, it's annoying as hell but I've learned to delay myself for a half second or so. Also, using Xperl UI helps a lot because it shows me each follower's target so that I don't have to look on the other screen (and 2 are covered by 2 others ATM until I get my upgrades). So you might want to have your "assist macro" to be something like:

/target focus
/assist focus

That way your followers will target you then assist you if you have a target and should force them to assist you even if they haven't properly targeted you.


One other thing is that I've changed from using /assist to "/target focustarget" because my casters would sometimes get into melee combat but it's affected by the target delay sometimes so I'm always watching my Xperl party targets to make sure they are correct.

I've also split up my "assist/targeting" macro from the "follow" macro so that I could stop my followers from getting too close by tapping the down arrow (WASD not mapped on the followers), once the hostile is dead or if I need to move my team in combat then I press the follow button.

HTH, if I missed what you were saying I apologize.
