Looking for aggro alert mod.

Hi.
Some time ago I was using Titan Panel and there was a great "Titan aggro" mod which I loved.
Now I moved to Fubar and I like it more :) but... i can't find any TitanAggroAlert replacement :(

Most important function: it let me chose a party member (let it be a shaman, priest or a mage) and when that party member will get aggro, I will hear a sound.

I remember TitanPanelAggroAlert as one of the addons that was improving my tanking skill the most :D

Do you, guys, know any alternatives?

BanzaiAlert will give you an aggro warning. It can be a either a sound, a red screen frame or both. You can set it for raids/party only or solo too. Some UF like X-Perl give this option too, although they are annoying IMHO. As far as party members getting aggro, I have not seen any myself.

Thank you :)
I'm already using "BanzaiAlert ", but becouse there's no "readmy.txt" or anything similar, I thought it only gives notify about me getting aggro :) I will look a bit closer on ingame help if any exist :D

One way help improve your tanking skills is to use a threat meter like KLHThreatMeter. If everyone in the party has this running you can use it as guide to see how much threat you have generated vs the other party members. The Tank should be always at the top of the threat meter. If you see someone getting to close to your threat level, then you know when to throw another Taunt, Sunder, etc. Myself I just make to generate a lot of Rage (Bear tank here) and then once my Growl and Maul off CD use em and get a Lacerate (like a Sunder) in between Growls and Mauls. Warriors can do similar tatics.

Regarding BanzaiAlert if you have the Red screen frame turned on you know if you always have aggro and as soon as it turns of you have lost aggro and need to chase a mob. Some UnitFrames mods like ag_UnitFrames and Pitbull have a plug in that works with the Banzai library. This will turn the Health Bar of whomever had aggro Bright red. This an excellent and not annoying way of seeing who has aggro at any given time.

Sometimes though if that damn mage/rogue/other dps is not going to watch their aggro levels then they need to die.

Most Unit Frames now have a aggro module for it. I am using Pitbull's, and it works great.
