IB - Outh Friend and Grudge make it more visible?

Hi,

I have an very important class mechanic as Iron Breaker: Oath Friend

1. It is very important to me because of “Grudge,”. It would make sense to have the buff on someone nearby who attacks the enemy and generates grudge for me. For this reason, I would like to see something above the player's head, such as a red arrow or something similar.

This skill has a range of 160 meters in the game. I don't want to lose the skill because of the range, right? So I have to see somehow/somewhere if it's still active.
But now I've read that Oath is a permanent buff and I don't lose it even if my “friend” is further than the 160 meters stated in the skill description. Is that right?

So, what do you think? I have the VinyUi add-on packet. Is there any way to display Oath better? When I buff a slayer near me with it, he also produces grudge for me. I don't want to lose sight of him completely, or if I see that he's gone, I can give the buff to someone else.

2. Is there a way to position my grudge display somewhere in the center of the screen with percentage numbers?

Unfortunately, I can't really figure out where to find the answers to both of my questions on enemy and buffhead.
Go to https://tools.idrinth.de/addons/guardpack.
Part of this package is the addon called Teather (with that particular spelling).
When you guard someone - it draws a line from you to the guardee. If they are in guad range (0-30 ft) the line is green. If they are out of range but relatively close (30-50 ft) the line goes blue. If they are farther than 50 ft - the line goes red. That will help you with your problem as long as you oathfriend someone in the same party as you. Beyond that - i am afraid there's no way to tell if you are within range or not
There must be a way to display the buff without guard/tether somehow.

My guess would be to set up a Buffhead Icon for your grudge bearer ability so that it would show above your marked friend.

Had a oathfriend / DarkProtector tracker in an old guardpack, but since been removed
(think the tracker is still there, just disabled / no visuals for it)

The problem with oathfriend and darkprotector is that it can be applied to anny friendly player, making it hard to track the player id it's associated to, since the player id can change (at least if the player is out of group/warband)

I use the enemy addon for that. Enemy icon > configure > unit frames.
You can set the visible icon on the group UI.
If you want to see someone outside the group, you can only use the buffhead addon or aura.

Probably can be tracked with Aura too

So, I'm now in Enemy. I go to Unit Frames, then scroll down to Visual Parts, where I already see Icon listed, even though I've never done anything there. Should I edit it now? But how? Or do I have to create something new under Visual Parts via Add? As I said, I'm not very familiar with this and would really appreciate some help.

One more question about buffhead and Oath Friend:

1. I go to Trackers, right? There I enable tracker, sho permanent effects, and then click on manage at the bottom right, right?
I typed in “Oath Friend” there. Unfortunately, I don't have an ID for it. But what surprises me is that when I go through all the spell names, Oath Friend isn't there. It's as if it wasn't added when I typed it in.
2. My VinyUi already shows me buffs and debuffs. I would like Oath Friend to be displayed one level higher than the ones already displayed. How do I do that?
