About TauntMaster

TauntMaster is a threat-management addon. It automatically displays a button/healthbar for every member of your party or raid.

If the party/raid member begins to gain more threat than the tank, their button turns yellow.

If they begin to insecurely tank, it turns orange.

If they are securely tanking, it turns red.

If another party member gains aggro, simply click their button and TauntMaster will automatically taunt their target off of them.


Pre-Programmed Spells

    I do not know whats going wrong but, it seems like it hardly ever works.
    I can click the FK out of the persons name thats Agro'd but it just hardly works, only on a blue moon it auctually uses the spell assined to the button :\

    I do not get it, unless another addon is messing with it....

       I seem to be haveing the same problem as post #643, my layout is fine in 5 man dungeons but when I get into a 25 man group my layout is all over the place. It looks like tauntmaster buttons are being used for a game of tetris on my screen. Didn't start doing that till this past month. Could really use some advice on how to fix it.

    Have a suggestion.

    When I use something like Battle Shout, where the only person I'm able to use it on is myself, it shouldn't matter who I click on to have it be used. Yet, I have to put the cursor on my name and click my button combo to use it. Why should it matter who I click to use it? I'm used to having Healbot not having this issue (Water Shield is casted on me regardless of who I click on when I go to cast it in Healbot).

    Unless there's an option I'm not looking at, it's something that I think could be changed.

    There is some problems with the layout. Some of the names are overlapped. that would be great to have instructions to make it neat like the raid members layout where everyone has their own space and it doesn't take up the whole screen or is randomly laid out across the screen. The most I can get it to do is randomly get it in 8 columns with 3-4 people per column. Some of them are overlapping I want to have like 3-5 columns with 8 people in it, but it isn't letting me do that. But besides that it is absolutely amazing. I love it. Keep up the good idea.

    I'm having a weird issue when grouping with RealID friends. The button for them shows Unknown Entity as the background and MANA overlayed on top of the button. The button turns red when they gain agro, but I can't taunt off of them using the button. If I remove them from RealID and reinvite them to the group, the addon displays and works just fine. Hopefully this is a simple fix, because this addon is awesome!

    Hey taunt master stopped working for me. I tried to reload ui and tried to disable all my other addons but still not working.

  • #638

    Hey hey. I used this ahow i can ddon for ages and awsom and easy to use. I just have one thing to ask anyone know why i cant take aggro of healers sometimes ( the frame with the name hane a green thing around it) ? is this becouse they are immune to damage or use a thing like power word shield?. If anyone know fix it so i can take aggro i be a happy little tanker :P

  • #636

    i use this on my pally tank alt and love it. but when i play my hunter its still showing, and on everyother toon i have. if i turn it off on 1 it turns ot off on all. anyway there could be a profile setting implimented?

  • #637

    theres a addon called 'addon control panel' that allows you to turn addons on and off without relogging, you just have to do a ui reload which it has a convient button for, in addition if you disable tauntmaster on your character screen, then log into your tank toon and use ACP to turn taunt master on it will ONLY turn on for that one toon. hope this helps.

  • #635

    oh well its not working for me as well guys, so now for tanking i use threat plates as with there name plates up you can see when you have lost agro on a mob to someone else and just as easy to taunt back

  • #634

    Druid here.  Every time I click on a button, all I get is "Ability not ready" no matter what I do, even if the spell is not on cooldown.  Nothing works.

     

  • #633

    Addon seems to be working fine except buggrabber is spitting out countless protected function errors.  Taunts are going off just fine, though.

  • #632

    Hello! Tell me how to do so by clicking on the frame with shift key while holding the addon took aim at the right player? I can not understand .. Thanks in advance.

  • #631

    I see a lot of people saying they have problems with 4.3 but my TM seems to be working just fine.  (paladin).  Love this addon.  Wouldn't tank without it.  Thanks.
