Description

BuffRadar

A click-to-buff list for World of Warcraft Forever.

BuffRadar shows a small window listing every nearby player who is missing one of your
buffs — with their portrait, class-colored name and icons of what they still need.
Click a name to buff them. Press one key (or one macro) to buff the next person.
You always come first.

Features:

Live list of who needs what. Players stay listed until every buff you can cast
that suits their class has been applied, then drop off.
You first. Your own character is always checked first and sits at the top of the
list whenever you're missing something.
Class-aware. Arcane Intellect only goes to mana users, Thorns to melee classes,
Fear Ward to warriors, and so on. Paladins give each class one fitting blessing.
One-key buffing. Bind Cast next buff or use the BuffRadar macro to work through
the list without clicking.
Highest rank. Buffs are cast by name, so your highest known rank is always used.
Smart checks. Group versions (Arcane Brilliance, Prayer of Fortitude, Gift of the
Wild, Greater Blessings) count as "already buffed". Buffs about to expire are offered
again. Spells on cooldown are skipped.
Water droplet alert when someone new appears (optional).
Cast counter for this session and all-time.
Customizable look: background color, opacity, title and border.

Supported Buffs:

Class	On by default	Off by default (situational)
Druid	Mark of the Wild (everyone), Thorns (melee)	—
Priest	Power Word: Fortitude (everyone), Divine Spirit (mana users), Fear Ward (warriors), Inner Fire (you)	Shadow Protection
Mage	Arcane Intellect (mana users), Molten / Mage / Ice / Frost Armor (you)	Dampen Magic, Amplify Magic
Paladin	One blessing per class: Might for warriors and rogues, Wisdom for everyone else (Kings if that's what you know)	—
Warlock	Fel / Demon Armor or Demon Skin (you)	Unending Breath, Detect Invisibility
Shaman	Water or Lightning Shield (you)	Earth Shield, Water Breathing

Warriors, rogues and hunters have no buffs for others, so the window stays hidden on
those characters.

Keybind and Macro:

Keybind: Settings > Set keybind, then bind Cast next buff under BuffRadar.
Macro: Settings > Create macro (or /br macro) puts a ready-made macro on your
cursor. Drop it on an action bar. You can also add this line to any macro:
```
/click BuffRadarNextButton LeftButton 1
```
Use /click BuffRadarNextButton instead if you've turned off Cast action keybinds on
key down in the game options. The BuffRadar macro updates itself if you change that.

Good to know:

Combat: the game doesn't let addons change click-to-cast buttons during combat,
so the list freezes until combat ends. The keybind and macro do nothing in combat.
Line of sight: addons can't check line of sight in advance. If a cast fails with
"Target not in line of sight", move and try again.
Targeting: to buff another player, BuffRadar targets them by name, casts, then
switches back to your previous target.
Cast counter: the session count resets on login or /reload. The all-time count
is shared by all your characters.
