Arena bug for serious pvpers.

Hi, I just saw this trick, when I was fighting against a hunter and a healer.
The hunters pet, simply had same name as the healer on his team had.
So when I clicked on healer (addon), it targeted hunter pet instead.

So if you got a hunter on your team, or if you are a hunter, rename the pet name to your healers name. (Or just to the name, of which you wont get killed )

- Now, go pwn arena!

[mAdlax]

[verycool]

[rofleren]

Repost. Bannable because it messes with /macro.

[Nemorosa]

It's bannable to name your pet the same as your arena partner/yourself? I seriously doubt it.

[okseje]

this could prove useful someday.

problem is - you never know in what arena game it helped you/didnt help

having a provocative/mocking petname might have just as much/little effect

[rofleren]

This is NOT bannable!

[gost]

Confirmed it's working and pet goes as the same rule as characters, nothing offensive or racistic..

In a way, this is a simple repost, a lot of arena going people use an addon called Proximo, what it does is it has a window showing your opponent name, class, spec and HP. When you rename your pet to yourself or another, when they go to click the person, if the pet is closer then that person they will target the pet. I've used this for about 2 weeks now, and it seems to help a little, that little bit you need in low-medium rating. At higher rating I doubt this works as well.

its NOT against the blizzards policy!
Just forces you to Focus target the PLAYER which has the named called after. Cuz the arena addons (proximo, gladiator, control arena etc) targets the pet instead of the real person.

and this known since release of tbc.

[Blizzhaxer]

Wasn't there a post about not being able to name pets with the same same as people on you arena team?
