LootGuard watches loot rolls and warns your party or raid when someone rolls Need on an item their class clearly cannot use. It only observes and warns: it never rolls on loot, never loots anything and never makes a gameplay decision. In the default confirm mode even the warning is only posted after you click Announce.
What gets flagged (clear cases only, zero main benefit for the roller):
- Armor above the class maximum, for example a Mage rolling Need on plate or a Rogue on mail.
- A weapon subtype the class can never equip, for example a Priest on swords or a Rogue on a two-handed mace. Shields count only for Warrior, Paladin and Shaman.
- An item with a Classes: restriction that excludes the roller.
- Pure stat mismatch: a Warrior or Rogue (no mana at all) rolling Need on caster-only stats, for example Intellect plate, which is Paladin gear. Casters rolling Need on pure Strength, Agility or attack power items are flagged the same way.
Mixed stats are never flagged: if the item gives the roller at least one main useful stat, the Need counts as legitimate. Cloth with Intellect and Agility rolled by a Mage or a healing Priest is fine; the Intellect benefits them and no agility cloth class exists. Hybrid classes (Paladin, Hunter, Shaman, Druid) are never flagged on stats alone.
Features:
- Two announce modes: confirm (default) shows the exact warning with Announce and Ignore buttons and posts nothing until you click; auto posts the warning to party or raid chat immediately. Each player and roll is announced at most once.
- Incident log of every flag, kept in SavedVariables.
- Personal blacklist: get a local warning when a blacklisted player joins your group. Nothing about the blacklist is ever posted to chat.
- Loot rules can be posted to party or raid chat only when you explicitly run the command.
