Just wondering if free for all areas turn off assist? I don't want to start all my accounts back up and find out. Thanks!
Does assist work in Stranglethorn Arena?

Do you mean /follow? Assist has always worked everywhere.Originally Posted by Multibocks
If I remember correctly the Stranglethorn arena is the low level world PvP arena where you get that +5 stam trinket? Follow works just fine in outdoor world PvP zones, tested in Draenor, I don't know why they would block it in Stranglethorn vale.
Strange, I remember somewhere from my old days when your followers turn red to you they couldnt assist, but I could be remembering wrong! Thanks again.
No, unless something has recently changed, you cannot follow or assist hostile targets. It doesn't matter whether they're hostile in a dungeon, hostile in the open world, or hostile in instanced PvP.

oh shit I just re-upped all my accounts and now my plan is useless
Does anyone know how I can use multiple accounts to my advantage in looting the chest in Stranglethorn?

Can I ask what your plan was? I went there today after reading and nobody was there but the chest was in the middle. In the old days that would mean a rogue is hiding in stealth to backstab you, but I just don't think anybody plays there. Are you going to have your slaves all fight each other? That'd be a pretty cool multiboxing video.
Are you using IsBoxer? I have some ideas.
Try setting camera view, then send a 'send next click' keybind? You could use that for moving around too by turning on click-to-move first.
I have a VideoFX with click-thru that I use for mining/herbs/skinning from my slaves. That would work, probably the easiest way.
yeah I use ISB. Today I tried a couple times and both times there were probably 4-5 people. I could take them with a 5 man team, but no assist = dead
How about if you create a macro and put all the enemy players in it. Would require extra setup each battle.
/targetexact name1
/targetexact name2
Might need a /stopmacro [exists, nodead] between each line.
Hmmm join as a party or raid not a problem.. follow and all should work.
just tested this and as a party assist and follow works as it should and the players are not red
oh and assist seems to work fine even when the player is tagged for pvp. but follow does not so nothing changed as far i can can.

While probably the best way to attempt it, you can't change macros while in combat, and if new players join in during the fight, or there are Rogues that you can't see from the start, then you're still going to be scrambling to fight them.
You could always turn on Repeater and try to type out /target CharacterName lines real quick (while you're getting beat on). /shrug
You're testing this on the floor (ground level) of the open world Stranglethorn PvP free-for-all arena? The moment you touch the arena floor everyone on that floor turns hostile toward one another. Like I said, I haven't been there in forever, and I've certainly never tried to multibox it, so anything could have changed (however it sounds like Multibocks already tried it and everyone is hostile).Hmmm join as a party or raid not a problem.. follow and all should work.
