Example with it on: I click the tank, whatever he is focusing on has an icon directly below his icon. So I'd click that mob icon.<BR/><BR/>Let's say I want to start to dps whatever the mage is dps'ing. I'd click the mage - which would show the target that he's on. And so forth.<BR/><BR/>It makes it very easy and you don't ever have to worry about macro's :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8815887911092676043.post-33038182536888686632008-06-06T09:38:00.000-06:002008-06-06T09:38:00.000-06:00and I forgot to add:@valyre: thanks! that looks so...and I forgot to add:<BR/><BR/>@valyre: thanks! that looks so easy I think I can do it!Beowulfahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08401458930362134682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8815887911092676043.post-72568661062743835762008-06-06T09:37:00.000-06:002008-06-06T09:37:00.000-06:00@ Nas & Dax: I figured that was the case (the tank...@ Nas & Dax: I figured that was the case (the tanking situation), I was just mentally practicing and trying to act as if it were the real deal.

Squirrelz would come up the first time and the current target would come up with the second press.<BR/><BR/>And....you did great!! I wasn't watching too close, but I did notice your kitty running back and forth from the fray, which is a good thing! <BR/><BR/>I also noticed that you were quick to send your pet back in for the next mob. Excellent pet control! It's important for us BM hunters to have our pet doing damage as much as possible due to a significant portion of our DPS comes from them.<BR/><BR/>Like Nas said, we were totally overpowered for the instance, so the group dynamic wasn't a big deal. And...I wasn't watching you! I just happened to notice those two things I mentioned, but for the most part, I was working to keep up with the awesome Boomkin!Rustyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13163970891615204620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8815887911092676043.post-25851382143917008762008-06-06T07:43:00.000-06:002008-06-06T07:43:00.000-06:00First off, Coilfang is techinically the name of th...First off, Coilfang is techinically the name of the whole place. Underbog was the one we did first.<BR/><BR/>And regards to the whole assisting thing, normally we would be marking things with skull, X, etc, and you'd know which one was supposed to be killed next. We were just doing the "take Squirrelz's target" way because we were such an overpowered group. He didn't have to juggle targets to stay ahead of healing aggro because he didn't need heals. And even if anything did go wrong, we would have easily been able to handle it. So, not the best example of group dynamic in instances, but there you have it.<BR/><BR/>And yes, I'm usually pretty quiet when I run instances. And I'm also usually pretty quiet when I don't know someone as well. So put those two things together and you have a pretty silent Nas on Vent.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14674797906040858983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8815887911092676043.post-74978193192639253962008-06-06T07:17:00.000-06:002008-06-06T07:17:00.000-06:00What you want is an assist macro.

It's pretty easy as shown below:<BR/><BR/>/assist Name<BR/><BR/>For for example, if Fozec is my tank I'd have a macro like this:<BR/><BR/>/assist Fozec<BR/><BR/>Then stick that macro on your bar, tie a key bind to it, and you're ready to roll.<BR/><BR/>One tip is it's normally better to actually assist another dps than the tank. This is because the tank will bounce between multiple targets while he's trying to keep aggro on everything. You don't want to chase him around, making his job harder and your dps less efficient.<BR/><BR/>Pick out a dps'er that you trust to know which target is good for killing and assist off them. Just be careful if you use someone that has to crowd control something. You don't want to pop a sheep or break an ice trap.Valyrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03185869462445071042noreply@blogger.com
