Bear Alert

Bear Alert is a lightweight World of Warcraft addon that displays a visual and sound alert whenever a Guardian Druid enters combat without Bear Form active.

No more wiping because you forgot to shift — Bear Alert has your back.

Features

• Automatic detection — triggers only for Guardian spec, only in combat, only when Bear Form is missing
• Customizable alert text — change the message to anything you like
• Font options — 11 built-in fonts + any extras registered by LibSharedMedia-3.0
• Font size — slider from 10 to 72 px
• Color picker — full color selector with live preview
• Pulse animation — smooth fade effect on the alert text
• 6 built-in sounds — Bear Aggro, Bell, Raid Warning, WereBear Attack, WereBear Attack Crit, WereBear Wound
• Sound interval — repeat alert sound every 1–10 seconds
• Draggable position — drag the alert anywhere on screen while settings are open
• X / Y coordinate fields — fine-tune position with exact values
• Minimap button — quick access to settings via the minimap icon
• Game Options integration — also accessible under Esc > Options > AddOns > Bear Alert

How it works

The alert activates automatically when all of these conditions are true:

• Your class is Druid
• Your active specialization is Guardian (Tank)
• You are in combat
• Bear Form is not active

It stops automatically when you shift into Bear Form, leave combat, or change specialization.

Usage

• Click the bear icon on the minimap, or type /bearalert (or /ba) to open settings

Optional dependency

If SharedMedia or any other addon that adds fonts or sounds to game media pack is installed, its registered fonts and or sounds will appear automatically in Bear Alert's font list alongside the built-in ones.
