-The '''main assist''' is the player in a [[raid]] or [[party]] who specifies the [[mob]] which should be taken down next by the DPS classes. The main assist's job is to have one specific mob targeted at all times, whereas the main tank must switch targets frequently to keep aggro up.

+The '''Eye of Acherus''' is situated atop [[Acherus: The Ebon Hold]] in the [[Scarlet Enclave]] next to [[The Lich King (Ebon Hold)|The Lich King]].
-Any party with more than one attacker should have a main assist. It is important to reduce the damage being dealt to the party. Concentrating on one mob at a time reduces party damage faster than every one killing their own mob.
+It is involved in the following quest:
-Ideally the main assist will be familiar with the instance and must be able to prioritize the targets at hand. Prioritizing targets is very hard to quantify and depends almost always on the specific circumstances. However, as a general rule of thumb, you must ensure your squishies are ok, and then take down the [[healer]]s, summoners, [[nuker]]s, and then the rest. This is where knowledge of the instance comes in. For example, if there is a [[mob]] who can nuke your whole party in two shots, take him out first; this is what separates a good main assist from a [[wipe]].

-Having a main assist makes both [[tanking]] and [[healing]] easier. Since most [[mobs]] will not have too much aggro, the Main [[tank]] just has to keep an eye on healing aggro, and mainly concentrate on the Main Assist's target, and it obviously helps the [[healer]] since they don't have to heal everyone who accidentally gets [[aggro]].

-This player is not to be confused with a [[Main Tank]] who manages the aggro. There is also a common misunderstanding that the Main Assist is the one that assist others.

-=== Classes suitable as main assist ===
+[[Category:Scarlet Enclave objects]]
+[[es:Ojo de Acherus]]
-* [[Hunter]]s have the [[Hunter's Mark]] helps to identify the mob which is selected to the party.
-* [[Rogue]]s do not need to switch targets, and they are not expected to take the aggro.
-* [[Warrior]]s not responsible for being the [[Main tank]] or [[Off tank]].
-=== Classes that should not be main assist ===
-Classes who change their target often are not particularly useful Main Assists. Classes dealing ranged damage usually have more oversight. [[Mage]]s sometimes have their sheep targeted, all healing classes also tend to target something else from time to time. Tanking [[warrior]]s must keep taunting mobs around them to make sure they don't run off and go kill a [[squishy]].
-== What the Main Assist wants You to do. ==
-If a party has a Main Assist, then other members of that party should be helping the Main Assist to take that target down. Obviously this should not get in the way of other roles such as [[healing]] etc.
-It is ''invaluable'' to have a macro set up such as the [[Most_used_macros#Assist_Main_Tank.2FMain_Assist|Assist Main Tank/Main Assist]] macro.  Being able to target the MA's target with the press of a key is much quicker and less error-prone than having to first target the MA and then press a key to target ''his'' target.
