Assist trains - why?

[kameh]

Just a quick question, why do people use assist trains. Perhaps it's just me but they seem to take any pretense of "skill" from the game. Those that do it can't even pretend to have any sort of skill, only skill they have is writting macro's and afking whilst the group leader picks the next target

Leave the command in, but disable it when trying to /assist someone with an enemy realm member targetted. Get back to thinking about who to go for on our own.

effective.

fast kills.

Did I mention effective?

And btw.. those that do think for themself, also finds the exact same target as the MA does.

So it ain't that hard. I play my shaman in rvr alot, and I usually ends up casting a disease on the very target that the MA is going for. without the use of macros.

 

[kameh]

Effective, fast kills.

No fun though whether you're /assisting or on the end of it. I actually like a fight, where they can fight back

assist is boring :\

Without assist im sure fights would last longer, a caster dont have to die in 1sec etc, not everyone goes for the same, it may be 3 casters and 2 healers in that group so how can u be so sure, i would say they should remove assist to get the RvR battlest to last longer and let the casters live alittlebit more.

 

[kameh]

Not sure about everyone else but I always find longer battles to be far more fun, even if I die in the first 10 secs, I can watch

 

[vintervargen]

ajj said it before ; 2 melee attackers max on same target in RvR.

kthx

after you've played with the same ma for a while you don't need to assist, assist macros are for getting used to people

 

[Twotosix]

Would be funny to see tank reactions to assisting if it was fotm to assist on them first, I'm sure they would bother to port back & I'm sure they'd be happy that they're the only person in the grp that never gets rps because they are public enemy no1 in alb/hib

 

[Whisperess]

Against most of the macro-users it's quite effective to take out their MA first.

The rest will just stand around clueless wondering why their macro ain't working after that.

 

[wylf]

well, why dont they remove all wepons and spells that are higher lvl than 2 ? what would make the battles last longer? ey!!

*sigh*

everyone in a battle want to win it, so they are going to use the best tactics for doing that... /macro assist

nothing wrong with it.

 

[duact]

removing assist would not change much imo, assist is a slow command u want to assist "manually" for best preformance anyway. only noobs spam assist macro. good players would assist without macro anyway

 

[-evull-]

can't understand people who say assist is utterly boring, when winning is fucking great fun ^^

 

[kameh]

why not get a macro program to /assist, enter combat and do your styles - say 3-4 times then /assist again?

Hardly takes effort to do

 

[viruz_bs]

Well , assisting or being MA gives alot of RP's coz if u fight people who dont use it , you win most of the times.
If you cant the the purpose in winning by using this , we shouldnt really be talking.

Remove stick/face/follow/assist, would make the game more fun, if possible only make /stick work on friendly players.

assist is for shit players that never play with each other, a good player knows who to attack and can watch his own screen and determine it from that, no need to press a button before attacking the enemy.

Guess that would be too much for some players, actually watching the screen and attack who your friend attacks.
