At first i used 3 macro buttons, each for 1 set of pets to move them around. As i have a 5 button mouse (2 side) i made binds to those buttons.
Now i plya mostly with necro's, where zombies are melee and ranged quite ok, Lich needs ranged always but the 2 gravenights do awsome dmg melee. Having left button assigned to all goto, right one is all attack. Then made binds ctrl+left button is goto for gravenights, ctrl-right button is goto for zombies. Shift-left button is goto for the Lich and shift-right is goto for both zombie+graveknight. Additional numpad789 are passive/defence/agressive.
(iirc left and mouse side buttons are button4 and 5).
I takes abit to set it all up, but after that they are quite ok controllable. As i deleted my 19 Ninja MM, i never was able to try that with that MM.

Sign the petition, dont let CoH go down! SIGN!
That's a pretty good idea, thanks :-P
I have all my melee zombies on a single goto/aggressive command, and as long as I click behind the target, my minions seem to get to melee most every time, if I click the goto in front of the target though, half will be using ranged attack, so either you are setting the goto point in front of the target, or ninjas react differently than undeads, try dropping the goto circle right behind the target, so the pets have to run throug the MOB to get to the spot.
Thanks a lot for your help guys. I wasn't finding it a huge problem most of the time. I just like to perfect my game :-)
Don't control the Ninjas... let them loose and let them bring carnage into the world.
That works for me.
I use goto behind the group and when they approach the mobs I select the one I want dead first (lieut or boss most times) and use aggresive attack on that mob. He goes down fast and if theres only minions left I let them roam free. If theres another lieut I use attack on that mob as soon as the first dies to take him out quick as well.
Hi guys,
I was just hoping to get some advice from some more experienced Ninja users.
Obviously Ninjas (appart from Oni) are way better at melee. To get them to melee I used to just use Goto and force them into melee range.
Since I've had all 6 ninjas, it's become harder to do that because they all fight over the Goto waypoint and some end up getting pushed back into ranged distance.
I've tried just making the Jounin goto (seen as Oni and Genin are both ok at range). But still, I lose some damage from the Genin then.
When I solo, I can usually keep changing their position until they're nicely placed. However in large groups I find this much harder and usually end up not even caring about their position. In doing this, I obviously lose out on a lot of damage though.
What do you guys do? Do you try and get the Jounin AND Genin to melee? Or do you just send in Jounin and any Genin that melee are a bonus?
Thanks in advance
