So after reading Ualaa's adventures with the DK's in AV I decided to give in a shot with my Shamans and its going pretty well. One problem I'm running into though is right when AV starts and you have that mad rush out of the cave I run out and pause for a second for my slaves to catch up but invariably one of them doesn't mount up. With that many people ont he screen at once its tough to see exactly whats going on and if I have to go back and get them I barely make it to Galv before the alliance show up. So is there a mod that will show if a a slave is mounted or not?

I really really don't see the problem.

step 1: move outside the cave, be sure you've walked far enough away so your slaves will mount aswell.
step 2: wait 1 second.
step 3: mount.

I can understand that you screw up trying to be fast, but just relax a bit and it'll all work out. Most people have all wow clients visible, so you can easily check if your slave is following on mount or if it's still stationary that way.

You need to get your toons beyond the gate, before they can mount.
You don't have to physically leave the cave.

It isn't that much practice to get the distance correct.

I'm using spammable macros.
Something like this, which will not dismount a mounted character but which will eventually mount every unmounted toon:
/use [nomounted] Mount's Name

I added my mounts as buffs to the grid buff list and enabled it to display the icon.

I know exactly what you mean and this is how I solved it. I

That is a damn good idea.

Power Auras also show the buffs of your team, even specified team members by name.

Ya I run to the left as I go out the door to get away from the crowd (and pally CA which will goof me up if the lead has it and the followers don't), then just mount up it would be rare if one didn't mount, and you have full visibility at that point.

That sounds perfect anyone know if you can do the same in vuhdo? Guess I'll find out.

Also I didn't know you could mount up right outside the gate so I've been running all the way to the snow so I think part of my problem was slaves still in motion instead of mounting.

I'm also interested, so I just checked ingame : options / panels / hot icons / add the name of the mount to the list and check both marks

Haven't found yet any way to track "mounted status" instead of the buff of a particular mount.
