Azure Buff Bars

Kestrel is a buff/debuff addon for WoW: Forever, written to replace Raven

What it does now (v0.3.1)

  • Blue row: buffs on you, including aspects and other buffs with no duration. It sits left of the minimap and grows left.
  • Red row: debuffs on you from any source, in a row directly below.
  • Each icon: a coloured border, a thin timer bar, time left, a stack count and a tooltip on hover.
  • Options (/kes, or Esc → Options → AddOns → Kestrel): layout (icons or bars), grow direction, sizes, filters and position reset.
  • Commands: /kes unlock / lock to move the rows, /kes hide <spell> to hide an aura.

Combat limits. WoW: Forever restricts what addons can read during combat. Kestrel uses Blizzard's newer timer functions there, so:

  • The timer shows whole seconds only.
  • Bars aren't re-sorted by time left.
  • Filters only apply out of combat.
