Description

Requesting a way to indicate an Alias is valid only if the target is in the same group (as opposed to including raidmembers).

 

If I have aliases on my enchanter: 

*Tank-user01zerk

*Tank-user01monk

*MeleeDPS-user01assa

*MeleeDPS-user01brig

 

If I'm in a raid with two groups, both user01zerk, user01monk, user01assa, and user01brig will be in raid, but I would want the aliases to apply to groupmembers only so that I'm not attempting to buff toons in other groups.

 

Something like & instead of * to indicate a group-scoped alias would be great, that way i could have:

*MT-user01zerk

&Tank-user01zerk

&Tank-user01monk

&MeleeDPS-user01assa

&MeleeDPS-user01brig

 

Currently the workaround is to have a separate alias for grouping vs raiding, which gets painful to maintain if you start making changes to one profile you have to go and replicate on other etc.

Alternative to that, would be writing a script that goes through and attempts to dynamically assign the aliases based on class/group.
