AKForeverCombatBuffs
- By
Every timed weapon buff - imbues, oils, stones, poisons - a shaman's shield and totems with who each one reaches, the elixirs you drink and your food, with timers, reminders and one-click reapply.
Part of a small family of addons built for the WoW: Forever game mode, with one mission: minimalistic UI additions that bring out the utility Blizzard's UI does not give - minimal in nature, no Lua errors, always smooth.
AKForeverWeaponBuffs until 3.0.0 - delete the old AKForeverWeaponBuffs folder after updating.
Weapon buffs run out at the worst moment, and Blizzard's UI gives you a tiny icon and nothing else. AKForeverCombatBuffs tracks every timed weapon buff on your main hand, off hand and ranged weapon - shaman imbues, oils, sharpening stones, weightstones, poisons - shows a timer for each, tells you when one is missing, wrong or about to run out, and puts it back with one click.
- No setup, no ID tables. The addon learns which spell or item applies a buff the first time you apply it. Whatever Blizzard adds next works the same way.
- One-click reapply, in combat too. The big button reapplies the most urgent buff to the right hand.
- Per weapon setup and per character: one-hand, two-hand and dual wield each remember their own buffs. A small picker pins a buff to a hand or stops tracking it.
- The elixirs you drink, beside them. Drink an elixir or a flask and the buff it leaves gets a row of its own: timer, LOW near the end, rebuff in red for half an hour once it has run out, and the big button offers another from your bags. Learned from the drink itself - no name list.
- A shaman's shield and its charges, beside them. Lightning, Water or Earth Shield on you as a Shield row: the bar is the charge meter, the slot shows the count, the time left is in the tooltip. Rebuff in red once no shield is up, and the big button recasts the last one you cast out of a fight. In a fight the client hides your buffs, so the count is reckoned there - a shield cast fills it, every melee hit you take costs a charge - marked ~.
- A shaman's totems, and who they reach. A Totem row for each one standing: its time on the bar, and how many of your party - you included - have its buff: green when everybody does, yellow when some do, red when nobody. The tooltip names each member. In a fight the client hides buffs, so the count there is the one from before it, marked ~.
- Your food buff, beside them. Eat something that leaves Well Fed and a Food row joins the weapon rows: the buff, its timer, and a red "rebuff" for half an hour once it has run out. Nothing to set up.
- Built not to break things: the reapply button is Blizzard's own secure button, and nothing protected is touched in combat - no "action blocked" popups.
The successor to SodShamanWeaponBuffs (Season of Discovery), rewritten for the Forever client - and no longer for shamans only.
