The problem is getting your melee team to follow you around and pick up the target you just selected when you are fighting a large group that is spread out. I can of course just hit my follow key but in a busy battle and watching healing, targets, CC etc anything I can do to eliminate the follow/assist problem just makes the battle that much more manageable. I hope this made sense.

Any suggestions from anyone on their approach to this issue?

Thanks
Easy.

If you have a "Target Me" "Follow Me" and "Assist Me" setup in a control keymap like I illustrated in post #4 of this thread, you can add a "Do new mapped key action" within your DPS spam key.

When you do those, the information its looking for is.. what keymap set, who should you send it to, and whats the mapped key.

So your dps key might look like this. (if you are playing Toon A
DPS of the "1" key
Actions
____Do Assist Me in Control> Toon A
_____Skill 4
_____Skill 2
_____Skill 1
_____Skill 3

you can just replace Assist with Follow, if you want. But normally you dont want to follow and assist while dpsing. hmmm, actually I can see a benefit of doing that in a PVP environment if you were running all melee teams... hmmmm I may have to try that out.
