Blizzard Raid Frames - Bigger Buffs
Bigger Buffs
(updated for 8.0)
Script that tweaks raid frames to change buffs appearance and behavior. Why would you stick to default frames? Ease of configuration and predictability are some of the pros. You don't need to add a list of "debuffs to watch" on every raid tier.
Type /bigger ingame for options.
- Can increase buffs' size
- Can show more buffs
Settings:
/bigger scale 15 - Changes the scale factor. 11 is Blizzard default. 15 is addon default.
/bigger maxbuffs 5 - Changes the maximum number of buffs. 3 is Blizzard and addon default.
/bigger rowsize 4 - Changes the number of buffs per row (3 is minimum and default)
Edit "CooldownsData.lua" if you'd like any additional buffs (from yourself) to show, like azerite traits. You can also hide undesired spammy buffs.
Known issues
-
Due to limitations, if someone joins the raid while in combat, your raid frames will
be broken. In order to alleviate that, install the AMAZING Blizzard Raid Antidote -
If a frame is not updated, you can try switching between two raid profiles (out of combat).
Update notes
v20: Allow certain buffs to be banned
v19: buffs are now correcly updated when new players join the group
v18: Split buffs in multiple rows. `/bigger rowsize`. Thanks @fayap
v17: Def CDs removed due to bad performance. Suggest: use cooldowns on Raidframe by Nnogga weakaura
v16: Some fixes on personal buffs
v15: Defensive Buffs are back
v14: Basic BFA support

Here are some interesting possible points of contribution:
- Adding a configuration UI which we could set up custom filters
When I use this addon with friendly plates ON(Elvui used for enemy NamePlates) in raid i get this spam.

Thank you for this great addon!
I still need some help! I can no longer see Spring Blossoms, Grove Tending or Cultivation as rdruid. I tried to play around with the lua but it shows like this:
local MY_ADDITIONAL_BUFFS = {
"Cultivation",
"Spring Blossoms",
"Grove Tending",
"Light's Grace"
}
local BANNED_BUFFS = {
[210320] = true, -- Devotion Aura
[303698] = true -- Luminous Jellyweed
}
BiggerBuffs_CooldownsData = {
MY_ADDITIONAL_BUFFS = MY_ADDITIONAL_BUFFS,
BANNED_BUFFS = BANNED_BUFFS
}
How do I add them again, so I can see all my hots?
In reply to bjornebekk:
This is a "bug" with 8.2.5 I'm still to have a look. Blizzard probably has changed something the addon relies on
In reply to repimbas:
Thank you very much for your answer! Would be GREATLY appreciated if you had a look into it, and made it so I can see the hots again.
In reply to bjornebekk:
Updated, "Should" be working.
OBS: Check if your curse client is actually updating the addon, it might block it saying it is a "developing working copy".
In reply to repimbas:
Its working again, the new update was ready on the twitch client! Thank you so much, appriciate it!
Can you release the addon for version 1.13.2 too? I've been using it on wow classic and seems to work perfectly fine.
I dont want ANY buffs, only DEBUFFS. Also Filtering would be a neat function to add.
In reply to moodyfied:
If you are a PVP player BigDebuffs (addon) is probably what you want
can anyone tell me how to hide buffs that I don't want with CooldownsData.lua? lets say if I want Regrowth hidden
In reply to porkyya:
Yeah, find out the spellID and follow the pattern... Needs a reload to get the changes.
There might be many spellIDs for a single spell, I think tinytooltip can show the spellIDs in case you have been unlucky.
Sorry for not having a proper UI.
The portion of FrameXML code which this addon hooks to has seen some changes on 8.2.5 -- seems mostly for performance reasons. I have not seen issues in game, as Blizz seems to have added compatibility hooks.
.
hi brother, if the addons can change the position of buff outside the frame, it'll be perfect.
This addon is broken for me atm.. if I type '/bigger scale 20' (or any number), nothing happends even if I change profie..
Only if I /update something happens.. But i lose my raidframes for good, until i restart the game without the addon loaded!
In reply to delaurent7:
No idea, you could try at most resetting the addon state by deleting its .wtf files somewhere inside the WTF folder
In reply to delaurent7:
I have the same problem - did you fine a solution?
Defensive cooldowns are causing serious FPS issues, I am going to comment (remove) that part from code until I get a definite fix.
If you only play M+ you may manually edit the file containing the def cd listing.
Can I get some help please. When I thyped /bigger, it will say
Invalid arguments. Possible options are:
scale xx - Aura size factor. Default is 15. Blizzard's is 11.
maxbuffs xx
hidenames 0/1 - hides names in combat.
I only want to set my raid frame so that the buff from MW monk statue's soothing mist can appear
From some empyrical testing, it seems this addon has been quite a CPU hog in raids (which was quite expected after the BFA update). There are a couple of fixes I have in mind in order to alleviate the issue, which I'd analyze once I got some time.
