View Full Version : Was the range for /follow increased?

Maybe I'm crazy, but it seems like my toons will follow me from much farther away than they used to. Did I just miss an obvious patch note somewhere? I'm thinking they changed it to 40 yards, which is a pretty big change (I don't think the old one was even 30 yards). If true, this is a massive buff to multiboxers - we can now recover from fears and thunderstorm much more easily.

I have noticed that I don't lose follow near as much...going through phased areas are the only place I seem to lose follow.

I've just noticed when I'm collecting my toons and am pretty far away, my follow command seems to work at ranges I don't believe it used to. Phasing still screws everything up :(

I haven't noticed any difference personally. If one of my guys gets feared out to max range, I still have to use IawT or go round 'em up.

they increased the range of almost every ranged DPS spell from 30 yards to 40 yards, so it's possible they also increased /follow distance. I haven't noticed though.

I have a weird feeling they increased melee range? Seems they don't have to be as close now.

This is easy enough to test: leave your slaves increasingly far away, and run 50+ yards from them; creep forward until you're in range to heal them, then press follow. If the closest one 40yards away moves towards you, there you go. If it's less than 40 yards, you can duel a toon, and use the range of wind shear or hex to test it at 30 yards.

I think onyxia might be deep breathing more since the patch too
