i'm not 100% on the whole use /assist thing. Its much easier to just use target markers. Tanks sometimes need to switch targets throughout a skirmish. I suppose its all in how you use the /assist macro. I certainly wouldn't macro it into abilities. In my experience, target marking is all around more foolproof. Even after running AK a zillion times and knowing target priority, things can still get confusing for people every once in awhile without markers.

edit: I even prefer marking as a DD over /assisting, because that way i know everyone is on the same page. I've definitely had to do that before..

I personally cycle through the enemies and look for the 1. I think it was more of a problem for me pre-AK with tanks not marking priority in my df pugs. But then again, what can I expect with pugs?

Those companies would also have hotfixed out the bug by now.

Same with the Titan HM bug that SE just told people "not to do."

I think, as Callinon mentioned, they would have fixed it by now. I suspect it would be fixed before it was an issue and this ban everyone mentality even had a chance to kick in. But Blizzard isn't SE. Instead of promptly addressing it they'll leave it and then use the most draconian method possible to police what I still contend is essentially a "Woops, oh well no big deal, should patch that out." problem That's a much better approach from a customer service perspective. You ****** up, own it and fix the problem promptly instead of going on these ridiculous sweeping ban campaigns.

Why its a bug/exploit

1) you dont get the hp penalty associated with death
2) You have reraise , so not only do you get no penalty, but you gain an addition auto-reraise incase you die again.

Unless I hear otherwise from SE it is a bug, and SE is not exactly friendly to people who exploit bugs to their own benefit.

Granted the circumstances that led to the discovery of it are 100% legit and expected like the OP states. Every good whm is casting a group heal while raise is going off to keep the person from dieing to the AE that seems to always target dead people.
