The point of BG'ing at 17 and different levels on the way up is to LEARN. The tougher the situations I face, the better player I *can* become.
Precisely.

This will serve you well. The quicker you do this and get used to turning your alts to face things jumping through your group, the better!

Earthbind totem helps slow them down a bit, too!
And firenova is omnidirectional damage, as is 5 searing totems >.>

I imagine insta-chainlightnings will help alot with this as well. Either way, thanks for the tip. I suppose it's off to STV arenas with a few buddies to practice!

Edit: In regards to switching drones to leads.

Let's say Plox is my focus. If I were to macro him with /assist focus, he'd keep his same target. But then, with that same button, if I change my focus to Plocks, Plox will now properly assist Plocks.

This is as far as I've gotten through the process of figuring out a way to switch a drone into a temporary leader. Since all my macros (follow/cast/ect) are based on focus, I now can make them target/heal/kill properly from any interface. It's a matter of macroing a different /focus for each drone for quick transfers.

The only difficulty I can forsee is movement keybindings. Right now I have WASD moving my usual leader, and up/down/left/right moving all the drones themselves without moving the leader. I then have various whacked out numpad bindings to make syncrhonized formations easier (the plus sign, the straight line, and the lead in front of a halfcircle is all I have so far.)

Now, I suppose it's not the end of the world to use the mouse+arrow keys instead of the mouse+WASD. But even then, since all the drones use the arrow keys, my new lead would also be moving (and since the point of the arrow keys is to aim the drones, my new lead would constantly be canceling his spells and not aiming properly.)

So the question then becomes: How can I macro different keybinding profiles for movement keys? Bongos profiles, maybe? Once I've overcome this particular obstacle, then it's a matter of getting down and dirty with Keyclone to make the appropriate drone's window and the leader's window switch places when the leader role switches.

Any thoughts/suggestions? Is there perhaps a mod that does this that I'm not aware of?
