Macro (and other) questions

[Azazel]

We're loving this game so far. Up to 24ish now as our foursome.

Wondering if it's possible (and how to) set up a simple assist macro. You know, /assist tank - that kind of thing.

Also wondering if there is a really good explaination anywhere of how the stats work and where we can work out stuff like how much mana is generated by stats and Wisdom and suchlike. One of our guys loves to do the maths and crunch numbers.

I don't know about a macro, but if you click the little white circle on a group members nameplate, you will target their target.

You guys on brandywine?

[Azazel]

Yeah, just easier to use a macro in amongst all the other ingame hotkeys than shuffling around with the other stuff.

We're on Elendmir, since that's the unofficial Aussie server, and being on the other side of the world from the US makes it pointless to join US guilds (unless you're unemployed, nightshifter/can otherwise play through the day, etc). Brandywine would be a ghost town when we were on.

I'm pretty sure that there are ways to keybind various assist commands in the options menu.

I play odd hours, Brandywine is busy 24/7. And the Kinship is full or retirees, nightshifters, unemployed, etc.

Aye, I'd be one of the latter, although it's looking like that might just be changing, but until then...

About the assisting, I flipped the toggle in Options somewhere which redirects your harmful skills to your target's target if your target is friendly.  My only gripe with that is that I cannot easily determine when I am out of range since my wife plays a hunter.  I also changed the default SHIFT+F2 to just F2 to acquire the target of the second fellow; I find this works better since I actually acquire the target instead of having my skills redirected.
