EQ2 3 box w/ Mercs question

[pox67]

Not really commands, just positioning.

Melee Warden, Dirge and Swash follow the Bruiser. Bruiser targets a mob and runs through it to just the other side. Mob turns to face the bruiser and the followers are behind the mob.
When switching to another mob the Bruiser slides around it until the followers are behind. Works really well. With some simple macros the Swash can enter stealth and then get off the big backstabs. Although I found the Swash is best at AOEs.

Ahh I understand... ok. Well that actually would make it a lot more fun and interesting as opposed to just pulling and creating nuke macros. I like it and am going to try it. Thanks much for your input!

One other question... how critical is FD? Does the benefit you get from being able to just run past a lot of trash mobs and FD wherever you want to go outweigh their lack of tanking ability (if there is a lack... just don't know as I have always heard Brawlers aren't good tanks for 90+ content)

Any input?

With my multiboxing team I never used FD, I would just run through the mobs until a had a big bunch and then AOE them to death. Lotsa fun
