Set an Assist Target

Stores a player in a macro variable so other macros can refer to them. Set your tank or main healer once and every assist macro you own points at them until you log out or overwrite it.

Drag the finished macro onto your quickbar and bind it.

Add a Friend
General
```
/Friend Character Name
```
Adds a character to your friends list so you can see when they come online without searching for them.
Assist and Announce
General
```
/Select Tank Name
/Skill Select Target's Target
/Group Assisting on [%Target] now.
/Attack
```
Selects the tank, takes their target, tells the group what you are switching to, and opens the attack. The announcement is what keeps a whole group on the same mob.
Assist Another Healer
General
```
/Select [%Variable1]
/Skill Select Target's Target
/Skill Your Heal Name
/Select [%PreviousTarget]
```
Selects the main healer, jumps to whoever they are healing, casts your own heal, then returns you to your previous target. Replace the heal with your own — the surrounding lines do the work.
Assist the Puller
General
```
/Select Puller Name
/Delay 1
/Skill Select Target’s Target
```
Targets the player doing the pulling by name, waits briefly for their target to register, then assists onto it. The delay matters — without it you assist before they have a target.
Assist Your Stored Target
General
```
/Select [%Variable1]
/Skill Select Target's Target
```
Selects the player you saved with the assist macro and then picks up whatever they are attacking. This is how a damage group stays focused on one mob without anyone calling targets out loud.
Change a Channel Leader
General
```
/ChangeChannelLeader [77] [Character Name]
```
Hands channel administration to another character. Worth keeping ready before you log off if you are the one holding the channel open.
Channel Information
General
```
/ChannelInformation
```
Prints the current channel's name, number and member list, which is the quickest way to check whether anyone is actually listening.
Create and Join a Channel
General
```
/CreateChannel [Virakar] [77]
/JoinChannel [Virakar] [77]
```
Creates a custom chat channel and joins it in one press. Legion alliances and siege groups run on these because they survive across groups and alliances.
