HolyOrders

Paladin blessing coordination for WoW Classic (TBC Anniversary, 2.5.6) — assign, sync, and cast raid blessings without wasting raid time.

Features

• Remembers your plans. Blessing assignments are stored per raid roster and re-applied automatically when you raid with the same people again.
• Remembers each member's wishes. Give someone a specific blessing once and HolyOrders remembers it by name — permanently, no matter which paladins are in the raid. Auto honors those likings in every future raid, and they sync so every paladin plans the same way.
• Deterministic auto-assign. One click distributes coverage across the paladins present, weighing talents and spell ranks so the stronger buff wins. Same raid, same talents → same plan, every time.
• Pre-plan paladins before they join. Two more palas arriving after the break? Add them with the + button (name autocompletion from friends and guild) and assign their blessings ahead of time — the greyed column becomes real when they join and the pre-planned assignments apply automatically, with a warning if their build can't cast what you planned.
• Lane swap. Click one paladin's name, then another, to swap their complete assignments — handy when the Kings paladin shows up on an alt.
• Solo-paladin mode. Alone as a paladin? Salvation goes on everyone except tanks, automatically.
• Reliable sync. The comm protocol is designed so what you see is what every paladin sees — assignments don't silently revert or get lost, plan broadcasts apply atomically, and out-of-date clients are told to update. By default other paladins may adjust your assignments (turn this off in the options).
• Auras. Assign each paladin an aura and change your own with the mouse wheel; who runs what syncs across the group.
• Class fly-out — works in combat. Hover a class button on the cast bar for a member list showing who has their buff (green), who is missing it (red) and how long each buff still runs; click a member to cast their blessing, mouse-wheel to reassign them inline. Casting keeps working mid-fight.
• Buff requests with priorities. Non-paladins (and anyone) can request blessings for themselves as a ranked wish list with /ho request; the paladins covering them see a marker and the auto-planner honors the wishes.
• Pets included — properly. Hunter and warlock pets are tracked and buffed; with several paladins covering the owner's class they stack multiple blessings on the pet (Kings, Might, and Wisdom on mana pets) instead of all casting the same one.
• Secure cast bar. A movable, per-duty cast bar shows exactly what to cast next, with green/red coverage borders. Clicking cycles through everyone who is missing their buff or runs out within 5 minutes — in combat too; right-click casts the greater blessing, mouse-wheel changes the assignment on the fly.
• Force rebuff. One click re-casts everything that isn't fresh before a pull.
• No-Salvation mode. Swap Salvation out for an encounter and restore the exact plan afterwards, raid-wide.
• Skins. Four looks — the golden default, a nostalgic legacy, the flat forga, and the rally-styled biker with a spinning wheel handle. Other addons can register their own skins through a small adapter API.
• German localization in addition to English.

Usage

• /ho — open the assignment window
• /ho auto — compute assignments for the paladins present
• /ho request — request a blessing for yourself (non-paladins too)
• /ho expect <name> — pre-plan a paladin who has not joined yet (same as the window's + button; right-click their greyed name to remove them)
• /ho aura — set or show your paladin aura
• /ho help — list all commands (/ho help debug for diagnostics)
• Options: Interface → AddOns → HolyOrders (or /ho opt)

In the assignment window, click a class or member cell to set a blessing, right-click to clear, and shift-click to change the cast mode; the button on the left of the header expands or collapses every class at once. Set a member's blessing by hand once and it becomes a remembered preference for every raid.

Routine sync/auto status lines are quiet by default — enable "Show status messages in chat" in the options if you want to see them.
