Rogue Coop 101?

[lyyn]

With regards to coop, I'd rather having a rogue always shooting down the same wall than a rogue who is shooting at moving monsters. Diablo has a dirty little secret when it comes to that. Monster isn't always the same place on my screen as it is on yours.

We often compared screens and mobs were often in quite different positions on the two computers. However, it really wasn't all that bad, since what you hit with your ranged attacks was determined on your computer.

And any rogue who targets moving mobs in a coop game should be ostracized.

Iirc there was some issue in co-op MP with that, but if you're not co-op'ing that ain't a problem

OK, my curiosity is piqued, I’m officially confused but interested.
I need Rogue Coop 101.

I get the part where shooting your partner is a bad idea (although I'm sure that depends on the circumstances ), but no monsters? No mob that is trying to kill me?
What/How DOES a rogue shoot in coop? And when?

So far I gather that sticking to a prearranged line/area of fire helps. And I guess no rapid fire otherwise?
I also see, that if I sweep a corridor, my partner should probably be behind me
What happens if we are attacked by more than 2 monsters? Ambushed?

How much arranging tactics goes on beforehand? Are there any agreed on rules of thumb, or is it purely a matter of personal style and player mix?
If so, how did you even get through the pre-game stuff before Skype?
