DpsHelper Light

A lightweight World of Warcraft addon that mirrors Blizzard's Single-Button Assistant (SBA) recommendation icon and displays player resource bars.

Features

SBA Icon Mirror — Shows the spell recommended by Blizzard's Single-Button Assistant in a movable frame, with cooldown overlay and usability tinting (range, resources).
Resource Bars — Health, primary power (mana, energy, rage…), secondary resource (combo points, chi, holy power, soul shards, runes, arcane charges, essence…), and special bars (Brewmaster stagger).
Per-Spec Profiles — Each specialization gets its own independent configuration (SBA slot, position, bar toggles, opacity, sizes). Switching specs automatically loads the correct profile.
First-Spec Copy — When switching to a spec for the first time, settings are copied from your previous spec's profile instead of resetting to defaults.
GUI Options Panel — Access settings through the WoW interface options (/dhl options or ESC → Options → AddOns → DpsHelper Light).
Smart Visibility — Auto-hides when out of combat with no hostile target. Configurable.
Secret Value Safe — All resource reads use pcall and issecretvalue() checks; StatusBar:SetValue() accepts secret values so bars always display correctly.
Addon Compatibility — Supports Blizzard action bars, Bartender4, and ElvUI action button detection for the slot picker.

Setup

Place DpsHelperLight in your Interface/AddOns/ folder.
In-game, drag the Single-Button Assistant spell from your spellbook onto any action bar slot.
Type /dhl pick, hover over the SBA button, and left-click to select it.
Done! The SBA icon and resource bars will appear. Drag to reposition (after /dhl unlock).

Important: The SBA dynamically changes its spell ID to show the recommended ability. This means auto-detection is impossible — you must manually pick the slot once per spec using /dhl pick or /dhl slot <number>.

Per-Spec Profiles

Settings are stored globally in DpsHelperLightDB with one profile per specialization (keyed by spec ID). When you:

Switch to a spec that already has a profile: its settings load instantly.
Switch to a spec for the first time: the previous spec's settings are copied as a starting point.
Want to copy from a specific spec: use /dhl copyprofile <specID> (see IDs with /dhl status).

Limitations

WoW 12.0 Secret Values: Health, power, and other unit values are "secret" during combat in WoW 12.0+. The bars display correctly (Blizzard's StatusBar:SetValue() accepts secrets), but percentage text may be blank when values are secret.
No Auto-Detection: The SBA spell dynamically changes its ID to the recommended ability, making automatic slot detection impossible. You must configure the slot manually once per spec.
No DPS Calculation: Unlike the original DpsHelper, this addon does not calculate or display DPS numbers. It focuses purely on the SBA recommendation and resource display.

Compatibility

WoW Version: 12.0.0 / 12.0.1 (The War Within / Midnight pre-patch)
Action Bar Addons: Blizzard default, Bartender4, ElvUI
SavedVariables: DpsHelperLightDB (account-wide, per-spec profiles)
