Does anyone have a recommendation for boss raid frames? Specifically, I'm looking for the other important targets than what I'm tanking e.g. Franz, if I'm on Hanz; man-at-arms, if I'm on Operator; and the bajillion other firecallers in BF (but not the guards, engineers, operators). I'm currently using the frames that come with DBM which almost works well, but my overall UI ratio is 70% so those are very small. That's deliberate -- I don't like a lot of clutter. :D
What I'd really like to do is increase the size of the dbm plates, but don't think that option exists without hacking the LUA. I took a brief look at it then decided to start asking around for plan B.
While dpsing I am using http://www.curse.com/addons/wow/shadowed-unit-frames as boss raid frames (and only for that).
Just curious - why do you care about Franz or man-at-arms?
I've used Shadowed Unit Frames for a long time, quite happy with it.
@Both: I'll try out that. I looked at it this morning but wasn't sure if it would integrate with DBM/boss fights and pull out the interesting targets.
@Dikka: BF is a good example. I want frames for every firecaller that exists, so I can use it to choose which target I want to taunt/stun/lick. With Operator, I could /target man but DBM has a unit frame for it which makes it a lot easier to grab aggro from Anvil (when we tank swap), though it's a 0.75" bar on a 31" monitor. I can't read the text on the frame but because DBM marks the man-at-arms with a skull, I can select the skulled target.
+1 Shadowed Unit Frames. You can display boss frames (including relevant adds) in their own area. Comfortable setup takes a bit, so be patient with them while getting organized.
