Ok guys, I've had this add on a while now, but how do you get it to show buffs/debuffs on hostile mobs & stuff on your heal/party targets? It's getting quite frustrating where I join groups & my buffs / debuffs on stuff is all over the place! (I've read guides & cannot get it set up how I want)
Generally I've found it really useful, but it's not an out-of-the-box solution to all my buff / debuff prayers!
Anyone use anything that is helpful for mobs & friendly targets straight out?
I seem to be spending half my WoW time configuring this thing!
btw I use Shadowed Unit Frames too, so if your solution ditches this too, I'm all ears! Please help!
* I have no complaints whatsoever about Vuhdo - I love it!
TL:DR Raven - Quick setup help? or ditch for alternatives?

There is a YouTube guide that I found very useful
http://www.youtube.com/watch?list=PL761D808689FB3840&v=THlKr5dwF6g&feature=player_detailpage
Part 5 & 6 of TouchyMcFeels UI setup deals with Raven.

Thanks for the link. I watched it & although it didn't tell me anything I didn't already know, it DID at least encourage me to persevere with my setup. I think I've now got it more like I want, so many thanks for that.

I put it off for ... I think, literally, years before I bit the bullet and switched to Raven. It's definitely a different layout of options, but I haven't found anything that SBF did that it doesn't do. Raven combined with TellMeWhen give me pretty much everything I want for Aura management/watching/alerting.

Am trying out Tellmewhen right now. I've deleted my custom 'Procs' bar group in raven in favour of it, after only an hour of using it. I definitely like this one.
At first glance I though 'OMG', but even a noob like me found it very easy to configure it to do what i wanted.
Why delete the Raven bar? Well, I couldn't get it to do certain things for certain classes. No doubt there'd be a way of doing them, with setting conditions etc, but just thought I'd try TMW & I'm glad I did - very easy setup.
I still have Raven for my Long Buffs, Short Buffs & target Buffs/Debuffs, just like the way TMW does it, so to speak.
Like you said Pelf.. good to use in tandem. I had heard of it before & even installed it, but didn't take the time to try & configure it properly. I think a lot of the time I hope for an 'out of the box' solution, when I should bother to delve & find these gems & more to the point persevere with them.

TellMeWhen's UI has evolved quite a lot over the years to a point where it's really quite usable. I have a 3-part meta icon for some of my Guardian stuff that wasn't even as daunting to set up as it appear it would be.
I use raven just for Auras, buff or debuff, Buffs with durations and Debuffs with durations. I also have a catch-all frame that shows stuff like on-use buffs or ability buffs for which I want a clearer view of remaining duration.
