Question - Question regarding mass slaughter of weak mobs

[watisthis]

I've been playing around in older zones using the group of awesomeness that I have, and I've noticed that my ini's and hotkeys work great when I'm slapping around a mob with 8mil hp, but not when they have 500k.

What's the best way to deal with bringing 30 to 50 crappy little mobs onto your team and just keep each melee toon targeting the closest mob and whacking it til it's dead?

My team = still crappy war, shm, bst, ber, ber, bard

I'd use a farm macro like Pocket Farm. It's no frills, no special abilities, spells or AAs, just target next mob and melee on. Rinse and repeat.

Cool stuff, will have a go at that after the bonus exp thing is done, thanks Krycek

Thought I already responded to this - guess it didn't post - sorry watisthis
There are a few options for what you're looking for.

@ChatWithThisName made this awesome FARM.Mac
and @ChatWithThisName also turned it into a plugin with Farmtest
@kaen01 made his version with pocketfarm

Nice, will try these too. Is there any way to stop them from running round looking for mobs, and instead stand there and wait for them to be pulled using the bard? Or should I just make a hotkey that /bct's //mac pocketfarm a couple of seconds before I hit camp? The war would stick with KA and use the AE section to keep the healer from getting agro I guess.

You could just /bca //mqp on and it'll temporarily pause the farm macros but I think most of the farm macros were designed to essentially just run off at the next nearest mob and not leash back to a specific camp point (or at least the leash range is very large if I remember).
