Alright guys, ive been beating my head against the wall and have asked several people how to fix this to no avail. I switched from my long used zperl/bartender to ELVUI and began setting it up today. The only thing I cannot figure out is why absorbs anchor on the right of the unit frame and extend left instead of like in zperl where they anchor on the end of the health bar and extend right. Does anyone know a way to fix this or am I SOL?
Assuming you mean actual unit frames and not nameplates, you can adjust the anchor point of buffs as follows:
/ec > UnitFrames > Buffs
From there you can choose what to anchor the buffs to and what offset from that anchor point to apply.
If you mean nameplates, you can do the same thing as follows:
/ec > NamePlates > Player > Buffs
In the case of NamePlates, you can also set the x and y growth directions as well.
