Description

BuffWarn, based on your settings, will monitor buffs, debuffs and cooldowns that you have and then trigger warnings when the condition is met.

Spell Cooldowns and Debuff tracking is now implemented. I've noticed a lot of addons that only monitor one buff or debuff (such as Inner Fire for priests). BuffWarn can monitor any buff/cooldown/debuff. As long as Blizzard's internal api stays consistent BuffWarn is future proof and should last up until level 80 and beyond.

Spec

Set to 1 for Primary Spec
Set to 2 for Secondary Spec

BWPacks

0.6b introduced the ability to write other addons that interact with BuffWarn making it easier to distribute buff warnings to different classes and specs. More to come later

Paladin

The first BWPPack is available for protection Paladins. It's in alpha and I hope to expand it to all paladins. http://wow.curseforge.com/projects/bu.../files/
