Assist packets arent working. Neither are custom chats, so you are stuck with tabbing or clicking your targets

Well thats kinda sucky considering IB's, SM's BO's, BG's are pure assist monsters

It's not that hard to assist when playing a melee class. Assisting on a rdps though...

At first you are all like, it will be fine, the important targets are pretty clear.
Then reality kicks in....
Having a good debuff tracker helps though.

devs dont introduce it on purpose. But the thing is that by not implement it is promoting bombing, blobing, and making pug vs premade sc hardly impossible to win for the non premade side.

Pugs dont know what assist does and on top of that, the guy in charge of the targets in a pug often doesnt even know what he should target.
You are not losing a pug vs premade because of this, dont dellude yourself.

I'm finding the assoist tanks really hard to play without it, I mean thats what you do as a melee tank. They really need to sort this tbh. The game is really based on teamwork and assisting is a huge part of it.
If they left it out coz they were tired of melee trains they made a huge mistake imo. How are you supose to target efficianttly in a blob of 30 people when you need to stack up debuffs for your melee dps. This is retarded. They want everyone to play KotB and Chosens????
