40 Man BG unit frames

[BrothelMeister]

I know this is not a new topic, but I can't find the solution.

Since all of you seem to love AV, you must have something I don't to see your slave's HP bars.

I had grid, which I couldn't make good use of, and I use Xperl for unit frames, which I'm willing to change,

What I want is: regardless of the raid of party situation, and regardless of what party my slaves are in, I want to see their health bars as though they WERE in my group.

Anything to make keeping all their casts and health in sync would make AV much more bearable.

AV and IoC will be 25 in Cataclysm. I've always prefered vuhdo / grid (way back) for raid frames.

iirc AV / IoC rated will be 25, the normal ones will be 40, though can't remember where i read this

I used Pitbull, untill 4.0.1 fecked up the old version. New version's Config requires a 10page instructionmanual. You had 40 small bars on the left of my screen, where party was. You could set it to filter classes, so i filtered all classes exept sham + my healer. Worked well. Still need to search for a replacement aswell.

I don't like Grid either. At all. The "huge" debuff icons are just stupid imo. Can hardly see the HP anymore. (I know i can change it, still has to be done.)

There used to be a Perfect Raid addon which did about the same as I used pitbull for. I'll search for it later. I use Simplified Unit Frames now. About the same as pitbull, but without raid frames :/

I actually contemplated making a complicated as hell set-up in Power Auras, to display and icon for each 10% of each characters HP bar in a certain location; basically using 40 different icons to re-create HP bars. That added with ISBoxer's click buttons, I could put a click-able button next to each "Health" bar that would cause all characters to target the character that correlated with that bar., in case I want to click on the low HP toon to heal it.

The Jamba team display shows health/mana etc. of your main and slaves as if you were always in your own group, no need to configure a complex unit frame mod unless you'd like all the extras like a cast bar, debuffs et al.

Yea, I like to see Name,HP,Mana and Cast bar of all 3 slaves, whether they are in my party or not, and currently have no idea how to accomplish this.

Castbar is huge on the slaves indeed.

If there's no other option, making the cast bar on slave windows like 1/4 of the window could help

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

10 enemy are attacking and I have to cast chain heal every second, whats to know if I stop casting some guys die. Thats whats so good about shaman healing chain heal targets the low guy anyways after the first heal.

I just use jamba to know if auto follow broken and it dosnt update most of the time fast enough either .....

If I see the enemy I attack and heal .....


I use x-pearl now and they have a raid frame, lots of options but just simple click it on or off in the options, easy set up I thinks but I have never used their raid frame.

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.
