LF Aggro addon!

[Hihobear]

Hiya, I'm looking for an addon that does just (or similar) to this:

If you're too lazy:
Alerts you when your group members are taking hits.
for example: HealerBear is being attacked by AnnoyingLasher


So far I've only found addons that tells me when I lose threat, either by saying -THREAT- or with help of a colored box around the mob's target. But I don't want those! If HealerBear is being attacked, I want to know it so I can swiftly intervene!

Looks like its possible .. found UnitThreatSituation function added in 3.0 that enables you to track threat level between 2 units.

EG. status = UnitThreatSituation("raid1","target") to tell you the threat status of raid member 1 on your target. Cycle through the raid and say put a raid warning or alert you when someone that isn't tanking has gained threat.

If no-one can find an existing addon to do this or doesn't want to do this I'm willing to give it a shot.

Well, looks like there is an addon out there that does this.

I apologise if I never got round to doing anything on this but was very busy raiding and forgot all about it till a couple of weeks ago when I went through my subscribed threads. It seems to be what you want and if you haven't got what you wanted yet it might be worth to try it out.

Grid... I use it for just the opposite reason. As a healer, I like to see who has aggro and who may need heals in the near future because they're pulling threat... (often that's when they get a bubble!)

I've set the borders to monitor threat -- red for aggro, orange for increased threat, no color for no threat... What's nice about grid is that you can monitor all sorts of things (or not...), size & skin the bars to your liking, as well as utilize different modules that enhance it. --I'd recommend getting used to Grid before adding any modules though. It can be a little daunting at first, but once it makes sense, it's wonderfully versatile.

It won't tell you who is attacking HealerBear, but it will tell you if HealerBear has threat and how fast his/her health is falling.... and you can drag it around the screen so you don't have to look over at the party frames.

Yeah, I used grid for a similar purpose. To know who will likely need heals/bubble and who already has heals in place for me to ignore for the time being
