PrescienceHelper

PrescienceHelper

A lightweight, self-contained 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 (missing Prescience buff), red (active but out of range), green (active and in range)
• Color-coded timer: white > 5s, yellow ≤ 5s, red ≤ 2s
• Configurable drop alert: plays a sound when Prescience falls off a tracked target. Choose the sound from a picker (any game sound, plus sounds registered by other addons like BigWigs or SharedMedia packs), with a live preview (toggleable)
• Right-click to cast: secure macro binding fires PRESCIENCE 1 / PRESCIENCE 2 macros directly
• In-game Settings panel (/ph or /prescience): the modern Settings UI with name inputs, lock/sound/test toggles, sound picker, live status, macro existence check, and position reset
• Test mode: preview both icons outside a raid for positioning

Constraints

• Instance-only by design: fully dormant in solo, party (zero CPU footprint outside raid)
• Augmentation Evoker only: Devastation/Preservation are out of scope
• Minimal dependencies: pure Lua, no Ace3 and no config libraries. Bundles LibSharedMedia-3.0 (+ LibStub, CallbackHandler) solely to share sounds with other addons

Setup

1. Install
2. /ph, then 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)
5. Pick your alert sound in the Settings panel (optional)

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.
