Well in AO that goal generally involves blasting some poor thingummy senseless, and luckily the game has a system aspect to help people do this better. This system aspect is the /assist command. The syntax for the command is 'assist <name>' and typing that into your command bar with a name in <name> will make you target the person that <name> is attacking. Keep in mind though that this will only make you target what they are attacking, not actually attack it yourself. |
Now this command is fairly useful in itself but, it gets to be a pain to type it over and over again every time somebody in your team has a nice juicy target. The solution to this is to make a macro out of this command so you can drop it in your quick bar to use at will!

We have a team of 6 players, one of which is a doctor, and a group of 6 mobs. Each mob is attacking a different player, while all the players are attacking the same mob. Each damage cycle the players are acting as one mob and will deal six times the damage to one mob to give an increased chance of killing it. Once one of the mobs is dead it no longer deals its damage (duh). | We have a team of 6 players, one of which is a doctor, and a group of 6 mobs.
