D.I.B.S. - Drive-by Intellect Buff Service

A simple addon that does one thing, allows a Mage to buff nearby players with Arcane Intellect. Built by me, for me, but I figured maybe someone else would like it.

Description

D.I.B.S. — Drive-by Intellect Buff Service

Share a little brilliance with the strangers you meet.

*WARNING* - Strangely addicting and will cause loss of mana.

D.I.B.S. helps mages find nearby friendly players who need Arcane Intellect or a stronger version. Pick a name from the class-colored list and click to buff—every cast is your choice.

Main Features

  • Rank-aware buffing: Offers missing Intellect and confirmed upgrades while respecting equal or stronger Intellect/Brilliance.
  • Choose your recipients: Configurable class filters and personal character/guild skip lists.
  • Helpful safeguards: Range checks, low-mana indicators, target restoration, and temporary skips after blocked casts.
  • Customizable window: Move, resize, and save your preferred layout.
  • New in 0.8.1 — WoW ignore-list support: Ignored players are automatically excluded. Removing an ignore lets them qualify again without changing your manual skip lists.

Getting Started

Enable friendly player nameplates, approach eligible strangers, and click a name.

Nearby strangers’ nameplates are hidden until selected. D.I.B.S. excludes yourself, party members, and raid members.

Settings at a Click

Click the small gear button on the main window to choose which classes to buff and edit your character and guild skip lists—no slash commands needed.

Click Save to apply changes. Click the gear again to close settings without saving. You can also move the main window with Shift + drag on its title bar and resize it using the bottom-right grip.

Slash Commands

Command Action
/dibs Toggle the window
/dibsshow / /dibshide Show / hide
/dibssettings Open settings
/dibsposition Reset position
/dibssize Reset size
/dibsrank Show learned Intellect rank
/dibsbuffs Inspect selected player’s buffs
/dibsdebug Toggle diagnostics

For WoW Forever. Buffing is out of combat. D.I.B.S. recognizes Brilliance but casts Arcane Intellect. Walls cannot be detected before a cast attempt.

Find a stranger. Share some Intellect. Keep moving.
