Target calling with other players Heroes - Guild Wars Forums

I know how to call targets to have Henches/Heroes attack what I want.

I've recently gotten the girlfriend playing. We're duoing and filling out the team with both of us using heroes to fill out the team.

The question is this: When I call targets, will it tell her Heroes to attack my called target, or does she have to call also to get them to react? I know I can't flag her heroes, just hoping the target calling will let us have only one caller.

Did some searching through the forums and on the wiki, but didn't find anything stating one way or the other. Thanks in advance.

Yes. As long as you are partied together if you call targets all heroes will attack that target.

Minions are a different matter... but it does work for heroes,

Yes all heroes in the party will respond to any caller.

I'm not 100% sure, but sometimes there may be a lag while her heroes continue to attack what she is attacking. Of course, it helps if she also attacks the same target. But over all, as said above, all heroes will attack the called target, eventually.

Thanks for the quick responses all. The lag between calls isn't a huge deal as long as they switch. 6 Heroes on 6 different targets isn't very efficient. So this will definitely help us out.

Thanks again.

There's always a bit of lag with AI switching targets. Same goes with pets switching targets.

Edit: I assume this may be something to do with the AI thing will finish it's 'current attack' before it switches target? The lag is normally only a sec or two, not too long, so it could be that they were just in the 'middle of something'.
