Legacy of Arathor: Get an Assist With New UI Options

In the Legacy of Arathor content update, we’re introducing two additional options in the User Interface (UI) to help you learn a new class or relearn an alternate character

Assisted Highlight and Single-Button Assistant are both new options designed to help lower the barrier of entry for new players, those looking to explore new characters, or individuals seeking an accessibility option that opens the way to meaningful gameplay. As with the new Cooldown Manager added in the 11.1.5 content, it will continue to evolve.
