Auto Loot Spec

Stop forgetting to swap loot specialization when the next boss (or dungeon) wants a different one.

Author: Teodoro (TeoDaTank) · Version: 1.3.2 · Slash: /als or /autolootspec

Why this exists

Loot specialization is easy to set and even easier to forget.

You pull a raid boss that drops for one spec, then the next wants another. You zone into a Mythic+ and realize you’re still on yesterday’s outdoor default. Optimizing drops on a per-boss or per-dungeon / difficulty basis means constant manual swaps — and missed upgrades when you don’t.

Auto Loot Spec remembers those choices per character and applies them for you: outdoor world, current-season dungeons, and dungeon/raid/world bosses keyed by difficulty.

What it does

Piece	What you get
Outdoor default	Loot spec when you’re not in a dungeon/raid
Season dungeons	One loot-spec assign per dungeon × difficulty (Normal / Heroic / Mythic / Mythic+)
Boss assigns	One loot-spec per boss × difficulty (raids: LFR/N/H/M; dungeon bosses use dungeon diffs)
Adventure Guide bridge	Opens that instance/boss in the journal (Loot tab); journal has an ALS button back to the UI; loot rows show stylized loot-spec icons
What’s New?	Footer button on the ALS panel — in-game release notes for the current version
Catalog	Dungeons/raids/bosses seeded from the Encounter Journal + current M+ pool — no need to visit content first

Assignments are per character. Names, season flags, and the journal catalog are account-wide.

Quick start

/reload after install (or enable the addon and relog).
Type /als to open the panel (centers on first launch; drag to remember position).
Set Outdoor default on the first tab.
Under Current Season Dungeons, pick a difficulty (e.g. Mythic+), then set a loot spec per dungeon.
Open Dungeon / Raid Boss, set raid difficulty (e.g. Mythic), expand Raids → Current Season, and assign per boss.
Use Guide on a row to jump to that encounter’s loot in the Adventure Guide.

How it works

When specs apply

Zoning outdoors → outdoor default
Entering a dungeon → that instance + difficulty (first visit can prompt you)
Pulling a raid/world boss → that encounter + difficulty
Dungeon bosses → boss assign if you set one; otherwise the dungeon-level assign from enter still applies

Spec picker

Click a loot-spec button to open a small menu: Keep Current, Active Spec, or any of your class specializations — no cycling through them one by one.

Hover preview shows Eligible / Ineligible loot for that spec. Ineligible rows show which specs unlock the item. The preview opens toward open space so it stays on-screen.

Adventure Guide

On a dungeon/raid detail page you’ll see the ALS button (beside Raider.IO when both are present). On the Loot tab, stylized loot-spec icons appear beside each item and follow the class filter you’re browsing in the journal.

Tips

Set Mythic and Heroic separately for the same raid boss when you care about both.
Season dungeon tab = “what I run in M+ this season”; boss tab = fine-grained raid (and optional dungeon boss) control.
After a patch, give catalog refresh a moment on first login — or use Refresh Catalog if something looks stale.
