EqManager

EqManager is a robust equipment set management addon for World of Warcraft, designed to handle complex gear swapping needs with ease. It allows users to save, manage, and automatically trigger equipment changes based on a wide variety of in-game events.

EqManager is inspired by the GearQuipper addon. While it draws inspiration from GearQuipper's robust equipment management, EqManager is a complete cleanroom rewrite designed with a more modular and strictly demarcated architecture. Notably, EqManager does not include action bar management, focusing purely on equipment excellence.

Features

Conflict Resolution: Handles race conditions by cancelling redundant or conflicting requests in rapid succession.

Robust Verification: Automatically verifies equipment states after a swap, with up to 3 automatic retries if items fail to equip/unequip.
Resilient Swaps: Skips missing items with a warning message instead of stopping the swap process, allowing available gear to equip successfully.
