Description
BuffGlow
Never forget your class buffs again. BuffGlow puts a glowing icon on your screen when one of your buffs is missing, on you or on nearby party and raid members. Click the icon (or press your rebuff key) and it casts the buff for you.
Built for World of Warcraft: Forever.

Features
- Gold glow when you're missing a buff. Click to cast it on yourself.
- Blue glow with a number when nearby group members are missing it. Hover to see who, click to buff them. Tanks first, then healers, then DPS.
- Choose who gets which buff. Switch each of your buffs on or off for Tank, DPS, Healer and Yourself. DPS is split into Melee, Hunters and Casters, so warriors and rogues can get Might while casters get Wisdom and hunters get Kings.
- One at a time where it matters. Blessings, auras, aspects and armors are either/or: turn on Might for melee and Wisdom turns off.
- Save mana. Only want Thorns on the tank? Switch it on for Tank and nobody else gets checked.
- Ask for buffs you can't cast. Add another class's buff, like Thorns as a paladin. BuffGlow only reminds you when a druid is in your group, tells you who to ask, and one click whispers them.
- Rebuff key: one keybind that casts whatever is glowing. Set it in the settings with a single key press.
- Works out of the box for every class, with sensible defaults (see below). Spells you haven't learned yet are greyed out.
- Add any buff you like, with its real icon. List several spells as one reminder and any of them counts, e.g. Ice Armor, Frost Armor.
- Minimap button to open settings or move the icons.
- Optional sound when one of your buffs drops off.
- Clean, movable, resizable icons, with a settings window to manage everything.

Good to know
WoW Forever hides buffs from addons during combat, boss fights and PvP. BuffGlow is built around that:
- Out of combat everything is read directly, so reminders are exact.
- In combat your own buffs are tracked from their known duration and your own casts. It never glows just because it can't see a buff.
- Group checks run out of combat only.
- The game doesn't let addons change click or key targets mid-fight, so an icon that appears during combat glows but can't be clicked. Cast that one from your action bar.
- Players without a group role count as DPS. Rage and energy users are melee, hunters are hunters, and everyone else with mana is a caster.
