Keep an eye on toons life/mana

You can also use Grid for this. You need the following addons:
Grid
GridManaBars
GridCustomLayouts

Then you create new custom layout with line: nameList="Toon1,Toon2,Toon3,Toon4,Toon5"

This will show only your toons no matter what group they are in.

As one of the very few boxers on my realm (Caelestrasz) I'm reasonably well known and quite often the WG raid leader will ask if I want him to move my team to the same group. I get really nice comments like: You = Win!!!! - not true of course lol.

Another thing I've noticed recently is that I've started to attract a following of healers who nicely heal my team and will occasionaly get some other toons to protect my team so I can concentate on dps

I've been wondering about this myself recently. Thanks to everyone who posted their way on how to do this. I think I'm going to try out the Grid method too. One of my friends uses that addon to heal for raids but I didn't know you could make layouts with specific names for it.

I find an addon. Just the addon I use but the option is debugged in the last version.
Don't have a castbar, but it's not the most important.

Ag_Unitframes => Raid => New group => Name filter

Thanks for help!

Really? I have pitbull, and I have large boxes on the left side of my screen that show health and mana in large colorful boxes, and castbars underneath those big boxes. Wild... maybe you could try configuring it?

Can you have Pitbull display just the 5 members of your team, when you're in a raid and they're not necessarily in the same group?

Basically, if I AV and have Shm 1-2 in group 3, Shm 3-4 plus Pal in group 4, will Pitbull let me see all of them at once, and no one else? Can I put them into a group or something?

I tried the RDX suggested, but cannot even figure out how to get to the configure screen Zanthor is showing in an above post.

Grid is also listed as an option, but I really don't like the Grid layout.

Ideally, I'd like to have the party/group layout from the default Blizzard UI, but with the health bars a fair bit larger, positioned a bit differently, and displaying just my team.

I just ask if I can be promoted to assistant and then you can move your people around. Not a big deal and a lot of times for WG, you can get people in the habit of promoting everyone so they can invite. Yeah, in 3.2 no need for that, but still. I made a tiny macro to do the promoting. I am doing this from memory, so might need a tweak or two.

/script local num=0; for num=1, GetNumRaidMembers(),1 do PromoteToAssistant("raid"...num); End;
It only works if you are leader, but I try to start the raid inside WG about 15-20 mins early. Then I just tell everyone that they can invite people and I don't have to babysit the invites.

So just ask nicely (whisper raid leader) if you can be promoted to assistant and you can move yourself.

If you're on the same server as the raid leader, you or your group can be moved. However, in AV, you cannot move toons who are not from your server.

So if I am the raid leader, that works fine. Or if I'm promoted to the raid leader early, before the raid fills that's good too, because I can just move all of my toons to group 8 and be in the same group. But if the leader won't promote me and is not from my server then there's nothing I can do about my placement in groups.

I'm looking for an addon, which lets me see all of my toons at once, regardless of being in the same group or a different group from each other.

Unfortunately RDX has a million options and the documentation isn't that good. Not sure if Pitbull will allow this functionality or not. A prior poster stated that it did all of the things the poster before him said it could not do, except that when he said it does this, that, the other etc, he did not say if you could display your toons always regardless of group.

You can also use Grid for this. You need the following addons:
Grid
GridManaBars
GridCustomLayouts

Then you create new custom layout with line: nameList="Toon1,Toon2,Toon3,Toon4,Toon5"

I cannot seem to find anywhere within Grid, to create a custom Layout. I went through each option within grid, line by line.

There doesn't seem to be a way to access GridCustomLayouts from within the game, but according to the addon information, it just gives grid features like auto adjust frame positions as you change frame size etc.

If I have no interest in the cast bars portion, mainly looking for a) my team is always displayed and b) I can run [target=mouseover] type macro's, do I need the GridManaBars option too, or can I get rid of that?
