Hi All,

This is probably something every boxer but myself already has, so any advice is appreciated. What addon do you use to see what the slaves toons are casting, i try to focus directly on my main tanks window and i hate seeing that the slaves arent casting due to whatever silly reason. So a nice addon that i can use on my main and see the spells as they are being casted by the slaves would help my bot crew tremedously (probably can be done in jamba). it would be cool if it also had the actual target and the range they are to the target would be great but i dont want to push the envelope too far. Thanx in advance

Any Unit Frame addon will show party cast bars.

X-Perl

Pitbull 4.0

AG Unit Frames
http://www.wowinterface.com/downloads/info16293-Ag_UnitFrames3.3.3Fix.html

Stuf Unit Frames
http://www.wowinterface.com/downloads/info11182-StufUnitFrames.html

Shadowed Unit Frames
http://www.wowinterface.com/downloads/info13494-ShadowedUnitFrames.html

X-Perl is probably the easiest to setup right out of the box.

Also the most cluttered looking by default, IMO.

If you don't want to use the Unit Frame addons and wanna stick with the blizzard ui then try using Party Casting Bars http://www.wowinterface.com/downloads/info11256-PartyCastingBars.html

Quite old but thats what i use and it seems to work ok.

Pitbull 4.0 has been in beta for a long time. It works just fine, not sure why it's still in beta status. The page states that it's experimental and that it's not done but I've been using it just fine for the last 8 months.

I used to use X-Perl, then switched my entire UI to Tukui, which doesn't have party cast bars by default. There are some custom edits for Tukui that will add it (and other features). I did some copy/paste and got it all working last night.

Personally I use Pitbull 3 for my unitframe and party/raid castbar needs, though I recently got a castbar addon that can do castbars for anything that can cast, pretty much, including arena opponents, liking it so far.

I really like xperl castbars (it just goes over the units name) for everything but my main cast bar, for main cast bar I use quartz.

I was loathe to move to Pitbull 4 from 3 once support was dropped, but once I made the switch, I was really happy. It was a lot easier to work with and it was less resource intensive. A lot of things never really seem to leave beta status.

this is a good one. Party Target is a good complementary to it. Party Ability shows the CDs on your toon abilities, but you have to manually enter the spell name. Which can be a lot of work sometimes.

I'm using Pitbull 3.3, haven't looked at Pitbull 4.x in a while.
Last I did, 3.x was much more configurable; but I'm sure 4.x is being developed too.
