A very simple addon that allows for the one touch creation of an assist macro, that is easy to change on the fly.

This addon REQUIRES LibSlash.

Once installed simply target the person you want to assist and type /nassist

This will create a macro in the 48th macro slot titled "Assist" with "/assist [target name]" in it. Simply drag the macro to your hotbar to use. Then you can /nassist at anytime to update it.

Also if you do not want to type /nassist in combat, you can make a second macro

/script slash("nassist")

And press that to update the macro.

UPDATE: New in version 0.6 you may select a new Icon for the macro and it should save through sessions. New slash commands.

/nassistsave -- Will save the current IconNumber

/nassistset [number] -- Will set the macro to Icon number [number]

/nassistgetbar [1-12] -- Will set the macro icon to the icon currently on hotbar 1 slot [1-12] This is useful for figuring out icon numbers to use /nassistset with
