This post not only implies it lowers aggro range for assist, but that it lowers it for consideration. I don't think that's true, or you never would have been able to vendor or turn in quests as indiff while sneaking. My guess is this guy might have lagged and the server thought he was infront of the mob. Is there other proof for it working like a lull? Maybe I missed it.

Basically this guy is sneak pulling some mobs by face aggroing them. This works for him (and everyone agrees it is a standard tactic) because he is not using ranged attack, so sneak does not break.
I am not so sure about the lull aspect myself; the only evidence we have there is Autumn, although from a balance perspective it would be great if the assist range was not 0.

Best use for this I've found: this makes us into chain-pulling gods. Let a monk pull whatever he wants up into a nice tidy FD pile a good distance from the group, target the one you want, bring it to the group. Monk just stands up and re-FDs to keep the pile there while you whittle them down one by one until only casters are left.
