In this example, everybody stays alive. If you can imagine each player attacking the corresponding mob, then it would come down to luck on who takes the last strike first for the killing blow, and also each player winds up more hurt over all then if they all assisted. Which means that the team is more in danger of dying from surprise adds, traps, or other fun problems. | In this example, everybody stays alive.

| − | + | In a situation where you have a caller in team, when your target dies you should just spam your assist macro till you get a new target instead of trying to pick one out on your own. If you attack a mob that nobody else in the team knows about you could draw unwanted aggro onto you and the team. Its always really useful to have a script to make assist macros for you and your team, so try and dig one up. Ihnnaw posted his versions here: | |

| + | In this simplified demonstration, there are a pair of desirable factors that, without prompt action, are mutually exclusive. Everyone is on the same target and everyone has aggro. If all the damage was on one person, in our example at least, with everyone the same HP and armor and no healing, one would die. So, as our demonstration shows, one hit to get aggro from a mob you can tank can help tanking. | ||
| + | This is not a replacement for CoF, it is an adjunct, a helpful addition in certain situations. | ||
