i imagine it's been brought up before, but like the /follow strobe function, this nifty addon offers, would it be possible or legal to implement an auto assist function pretty much the same way? like give us the option to turn it on and off like the /follow strobe onme deal? wasn't sure if Blizz would allow this or not. for some reason my /assist focus macro won't select the enemy as fast as it should, but when it targets NPCs like vendors and questgivers right off the bat most of the time. i usually have to mass the /assist macro a few times to get everyone in my team to focus on my main's target both before and in the middle of combat when switching targets after i down one.
Sorry, no can do, AssistUnit is a protected function and cannot be used directly by addons. I found /assist to be quite slow as well and I ended up using "/cast target=focustarget SpellName" type macros instead. I was running a casting group, not a melee group. However, I think the lag is probably the same either way.
