LoadoutBuddy
- By
Assign a talent loadout to each dungeon and raid. Zone in with the wrong one and LoadoutBuddy nags you until you fix it (or pull).

Description
LoadoutBuddy remembers which talent loadout you want for each dungeon and raid, and warns you the moment you zone in with a different one active. No more realizing you're still in your raid build two packs into a key.
How it works
- Open the panel (
/lbor the minimap button) and pick a loadout for each instance from the dropdown. - When you enter that instance with a different loadout active, a warning pops up with a one-click Load button that swaps you to the right build.
- The warning keeps reminding you until you switch talents, enter combat, or dismiss it. Once you've pulled, it stays quiet for the rest of that run.
Features
- Per-spec, per-character assignments. Each spec keeps its own dungeon-to-loadout map, so your Demonology and Destruction builds never get mixed up.
- Always current. The dungeon list is pulled live from the current Mythic+ season pool and the raid list from the Encounter Journal's current tier. When a new season starts, the new instances just show up. No addon update required.
- Add anything. Standing in an old dungeon or a raid outside the current tier? "Add current instance" puts it in the list.
- One-click swap. The Load button uses Blizzard's own loadout-switching path, and the talent frame updates to match without a reload.
- Configurable alert. Choose from a set of built-in Blizzard sounds or any sound registered with LibSharedMedia (BigWigs, ElvUI, EllesmereUI, etc.), with a preview button. Set the repeat interval or turn repeats off. Unlock and drag the popup anywhere.
- Stays out of your way. Mismatches only fire inside instances. The popup hides itself the instant you enter combat and never touches protected frames.
Slash commands
/lb— toggle the settings panel/lb check— re-check the current instance now/lb test— preview the warning popup/lb status— print your spec, active loadout, and saved loadouts/lb load <name>— load a loadout by name from chat/lb dungeons— print the instance list the addon is seeing/lb reset— wipe settings for this character
Notes
- Requires a saved loadout for the spec; the addon reads the same loadouts you see in the talent frame's dropdown.
- Talent swaps are subject to Blizzard's normal rules (out of combat, no active keystone, etc.). If a swap is refused, the addon tells you why in chat.
