Question - How to off tank using KissAssist and CWTN

[Azerack]

I hope this is the right place, I did a search and really couldn't find anything on this. So here we go...
I run a box crew of Paladin, Mage, Beastlord, Berserker, Cleric, and Enchanter, I drive with the paladin, run the cleric and enchanter with KissAssist, and use CWTN for Mage, Berserker, and Beastlord. With the Paladin I do everything manually.

How would I set this crew up in order for the Mage and Beastlord to use pets to off tank while keeping the Paladin and Berserker on a different target? Doing some of the Hero Mission (specifically " The Spirit Fades" from NoS I would like for my Mage and Beastlord to stay on the red gum drops and use the Paladin and Berserker to take the adds as they pop. Similarly the KD Mision in ToV. Keep the mage and beastlord on the Avatar of War while the paladin and berserker focus on the Adds.

Any inputs will help. I need to start learning how to split the focus on the group.

Thanks

well if you are asking cwtn plugin questions they should be in that section (but i guess your enchanter is on kiss, so.)

but you'd want bst in a tank mode and main assist. berzerker in manual mode - have the paladin call the berzerker to assist your paladin, and the mage/enc is going to help the bst
your enchanter you would /mac kissassist assist name on either the pal or the bst.

your bst is going to grab its own target, and folks are going to assist it (that arne't manual) then you can swap targets with it if you want (you're not locked)

your paladin that you're manually playing is obviously free to target whatever you want.

there are a bunch of those combinations that you could make work, but that is how I would do that based on what you asked.

with the cwtn plugins even in "manual" mode priests/casters are going to follow the MA, melee toons don't

Please see >>> Getting Started with CWTN plugins! (Movement, UI Window, Clickies, Pulling, ETC) Check Here First! <<<

Many thanks. I really need to start using some of the features to do more then just obey the paladin.

/mac kissassist pettank...on your pet class,
then have your cwtn tank be the main on /shd mode 6 or whatever so it pulls and tanks...if you get more than one the pet one will usually focus on the other and tank it with the pet.

The question is ... are you fighting unmezzable mobs? Why would you allow more than one target to be active...
Usually when you see this scenario best route is to drive the encounter manually and control the pet (not the main tank) to off-tank the add...

just my two cents...i'm a enchanter + bard kind of guy so it's very rare that shit will be active other than the tank's main assist target

Another route is to enable your cwtn useaoe features...which means usually the SHD and or Berzerker will engage everything and often keep aggro without a lot of fuss...

This question got me to thinking on how to get my crew to offtank as well.
I havent tried this, but could you create a button for this? Main tank is set to MT. Offtank is set to assist. Buttonmaster, add button /dex Offtank /tar ${Me.XTarget[2]} [3], [4] and so on? So your main tank is staying on the main while your assist is just going down the line.
