title says all ive tried this already it didnt work characters still wont assist any of them

and half of the time i enter combat only 1 or 2 of the slaves will target and attack the same target

I recently set a key binding in the game and now assist doesn't work?

In the future, make sure you turn off Key Maps when you're configuring key bindings in the game. When you have something hotkeyed in ISBoxer to auto-assist and broadcast, the assist comes first. That means you're inadvertently replacing the assist hotkey in the game, instead of binding the key you meant to bind. Go back into the key bindings screen in each window and ensure that the key you meant to assign is the key that really was assigned.
If you can't figure it out, the most common solution is as follows:


In the WoW window(s) that will not assist, open the Key Bindings screen
Find an empty box, that is to say something that isn't bound, and set it to Shift+Backspace (if you want to get really comprehensive, and depending on which slot you are testing on, you can also test out CTRL+Backspace, Alt+Backspace, Shift + Alt, Ctrl+Alt, Shift+Ctrl, Shift+Ctrl+Alt, etc.)
Look at the bottom of the Key Bindings screen, it will tell you what, if anything, was previously bound to Shift+Backspace
Click what you just set to Shift+Backspace
Click Unbind
Close the key bindings screen
Assist will now probably work

This FAQ entry also applies to Follow not working, with F11 in place of Backspace.
