PitBull Unit Frames 4.0

628 - remove oRA3-MT-list

The ora3-MT-list keeps a list of "favorite"-MTs (who are not necessarily actual MTs).
So suppose there is some feral that only tanks in heroic-mode, but does damage on normal mode (just an example).
He appears in the oRA3-"favorite"-MT-list (the shield-icon is disabled), but not in the blizzard-MT-list.

So since oRA3 sets blizzard-MTs anyway I suggest to remove the following lines

if oRA3 then
	main_tanks = oRA3:GetSortedTanks()

from GroupHeader.lua

    I suppose the same could be said for any feature really (ones I've personally suggest in particular, hehe), but does supporting non-Blizzard Main Tanks present significant value?

    I've used a few of those raid management addons, but I uninstall them after a few nights and just go back to setting Main Tanks the Blizzard-endorsed way. Any reason why we couldn't just lean on those guys to use the Blizzard settings as their backend instead of something new and weird?

    Ok, I see that removing the Code is not a solution. What I'd like to see is some option to hide an MT if he is not set as blizzard-MT.

    And this is not a defect. It's a deliberate design decision.

    It only optionally sets those MTs, no everyone using oRA3 uses it that way. Not using oRA3:GetSortedTanks() also means that you can't adjust the order of the tanks. The situation with main tanks has probably reached the point that we need some configuration rather than just automagically deciding which list to use. But I typically use oRA3 now to adjust my tank list locally to reorder the list to suit my own needs and even adding players that suit my needs.
