Returns the recommended roles for a specified unit

tank, heal, dps = UnitGetAvailableRoles(unit)

Arguments

unit

string : UnitId

Returns

tank

boolean - Whether the unit can perform as a tank

heal

boolean - Whether the unit can perform as a healer

dps

Notes

Although the Group Finder allows every class to pick any role, for some there is a warning that it is not recommended (e.g., healer as a Warrior). This function returns results based on the same logic.
