Seeing spells on npc while solo?

[Kevis]

Is there any way to see debuffs or buffs active on a mob while soloing? I have seen the target window with buffs when grouped, but it would be real nice to see spells on the mob when solo for example when root rotting...Is there any way to do that, do I need a certain leader AA or something turned on, or is it not possible?

If it isn't possible, maybe someone could suggest it to the devs, or maybe it has been suggested and I am beating the dead rotten festering horse, if so please ignore.

I played EQ before trying wow, so I am just whining and lazy, but one of the nice features in wow is the ability to keep track of debuffs/active spells on the mob from the get go. I am getting lazy in my old age I guess.

Yes, I know you had to walk uphill both ways and actually time your own dots yadda yadda...

It's possible while "solo", but not solo. Invite someone who's afk elsewhere, ideally two someones. If you can only get one, just summon your mercenary and let them die to the first mob. They still count as a group member for leaderstuff while dead. Don't just set for passive; while they won't charge upkeep that way, they still take exp. Dead is good.
