does anyone kown how do use the "assist" key

i asked form the game

he said focus on the mob then use assist

then the focus will turn to the player who the mob attacking player

p.s:ehh... english bad...

[Destrus]

click a player then click assist. if the player's attacking something you'll target whatever they're attacking.

[Yami]

Supposedly useful to attack whatever the tank is attacking. I never used it though lol

[Vasu]

Yeah, like if your tank is attacking mob A right now, and later shifts to mob B, if you don't want to draw mob A's aggro, your char automatically shifts to mob B if you clicked on the tank and pressed assist.

So, if you click on a mage and assist...then they do an AoE...do you just run around in circles?

[Vasu]

You attack the monster that the mage has selected.

[Ralath]

You don't have to select a monster when you are AoEing.

[Hraesvelg]

Ah, so its based on the targeting instead of doing damage. Gotcha.

[Vasu]

Then you don't do anything because technically, the mage has not attacked anything. He just used a spell and it happened to hit one of the monsters within the area.

I never knew what that was...or how to use it......cool
