40 Man BG unit frames

[Littleburst]

I dont know things happen so fast that all this information (at least when I 8 box) is not usefull.

That's why PVP =/= PVE and PVE is refered to as 'scripted' events.


I tried out AG_unitframes, but it hasn't been updated. Used to do the trick aswell.

Has anyone actually been able to configure a predefined group with any addon, so that your slaves are shown as it would be in a 5 man party? I.e. the health/mana/castbars like any unitframe addon would do, but then with your own group in a raid (bg, icc, etc ...).

If jamba would have castbars and if it was configurable to have flexible layouts, I think thats what every boxer need. The other option is a unit frame addon that allows you to create a predefined group. Hope someone was to develop such a thing.

With Grid + Grid Custom Layouts, you can configure your party to display in column one (alphabetical sort), with the rest of the raid in the other columns.

Line 1, is column one.
Line 2, would be column two if you were to enter names here too, but is configuration otherwise.

I'm using:
ToonFirst,ToonMiddle,ToonLast;NAME
1,2,3,4,5;5/5;NAME;NR

I have every toon, from all of my accounts listed listed, at the top in the places of ToonFirst through ToonLast.
The format is Name comma Name comma Name, no spaces.
Followed by ;NAME.

Line two designates five groups will be shown, via 1,2,3,4,5, you could have eight groups shown if you prefer by going: 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8.
The 5/5 controls the grid frame, the first number being the number of columns to display, and the second number being how many units to place in each column.
The ;NAME, again sorts alphabetically.
And the NR stands for No Repeating, so a name that appears anywhere once (ie, your toons in Column 1) will not appear anywhere else.
If you wanted to include pets, or run 40-man raids, I'd increase the groups to 8, and the number of columns/rows in the grid too.

Vuhdo profiles FTW.

I have a profile specific to when I bg that only shows Shamans.

Then I have a 2grp profile for WSG and 3grp profile for EOTS and AB so I can cover heal.

Sam, I used to agree with you, except that now, with the healing per second of healing surge, Chain heal is only used about half the time, and thats usually just when I'm getting equal pressure on all 4 toons. Healing surge is faster, and does a like 7k+ per (11k crits), with atleast 3 casting it, and a 33%crit chance, its a 1.5 sec 25k nuke heal on the focused target.

I really only chain heal if im up against 3-4 melee or like 5-6 people with aoes. Otherwise yes a quick 4x healing surge ftw.
