PrescienceHelper
A lightweight, dependency-free addon for Augmentation Evokers that tracks your Prescience (spell 409311) on two configurable raid allies. Solves the "did Prescience just drop on my
priority targets?" problem without making you watch the raid frame.
Features
- Two configurable slots — pick any two raid members by name (Name or Name-Realm, cross-realm supported)
- Always-visible icons — two secure, draggable buttons showing Prescience uptime, remaining duration, and 25-yard range state at a glance
- Color-coded states — grey (out of group), red pulsing (Prescience absent), red (active but out of range), green (active and in range)
- Color-coded timer — white > 5s, yellow ≤ 5s, red ≤ 2s
- Audible drop alert — plays a sound when Prescience falls off a tracked target (toggleable)
- Right-click to cast — secure macro binding fires PRESCIENCE 1 / PRESCIENCE 2 macros directly
- In-game Settings panel — /ph or /prescience opens the modern Settings UI: name inputs, lock/sound/test toggles, live status, macro existence check, position reset
- Test mode — preview both icons outside a raid for positioning
Constraints
- Raid-only by design — fully dormant in solo, party, and M+ (zero CPU footprint outside raid)
- Augmentation Evoker only — Devastation/Preservation are out of scope
- Retail TWW (11.x) — no Classic support
- No external libraries — pure Lua, no Ace3, no LibStub
Setup
1. Install
2. /ph → enter the names of the two allies you want to track
3. Create two macros named exactly PRESCIENCE 1 and PRESCIENCE 2 with your preferred Prescience cast (e.g. /cast [@mouseover,help] Prescience or /cast [@focus] Prescience)
4. Position the icons by dragging (lock when satisfied)
Why
Augmentation's value comes from keeping Prescience on the right people. Missing a reapplication on your priority Hero target costs more than any single rotation mistake.
PrescienceHelper turns "did I let it drop?" into a glance.
