Assisting the tank on PS3

[johnbeck1000]

Since I'm a new healer, maybe I'm doing it wrong but all I do dungeons with is macros.
List of my macros I have

Heal Tank= /ac "Cure" <t>
Stone on Tank target= /ac "Stone" <tt>
Thunder on Tank Target= /ac "Thunder" <tt>
Aero on Tank Target= /ac "Aero" <tt>
Heal 3rd party member= /ac "Cure" <3>
Heal 4th party member= /ac "Cure" <4>
Heal Me= /ac "Cure" <me>

this allows me to never stop targeting the Tank in my party....I find it better than scrolling through each member of the party. I always put the Tank as the 2nd party member. What this does also is if the Tank dies my macros work on whoever I've got targeted.

I use <tt> macros as a healer as well. But that's a different situation. Because as a healer, it's a lot more important for me to focus on the tank's health and debuffs, and my damage isn't high enough to make much of a dent. As long as I'm not waking anything up or pulling anything extra, it doesn't matter that much if I Aero/Stone one of the side mobs instead of the priority target.

For a DPS, it's important to stay focused on the right mob until it's dead. Using <tt> macros will only work with tanks that don't switch targets mid fight. Granted, I've seen a lot of tanks as a healer recently that stay on one target the entire time; unfortunately, that means I've seen a lot of mobs stay in the orange on the aggro list a distressingly long time. And that means I've had to be Scrooge McMeagerHeals to keep them orange instead of red. But as a DPS, I like to be prepared for tanks that actually give a crap about maintaining enmity on all targets. I don't want a macro making me suddenly punch/shoot/stab an off target just because the tank switched to check his threat level.

Which is why, on PC, I roll with /focustarget <t> on the tank at the start of the dungeon, followed by /assist <f> once per mob, then /ac "Teh Damage" <t> (or just straight-up abilities) until it dies. But if /focustarget and <f> don't work at all on PS3 (as opposed to just not being displayed), then I can't bank that as a blanket suggestion.

Thus wondering how easy it is to rearrange the party list on PS3. Knowing it's about as easy as it is on PC at least makes it possible to just keep an /assist <2> (or <4> or whatever) macro that doesn't need to be changed.

I'm sure I worry about this far more than is really, really necessary. It's also just straight-up curiosity. I'm not (yet) curious enough to buy a PS3 just so I can fiddle around with things myself.
