The leader of the druids in our raid needed an addon to have an overview over the Innervate and Rebirth cooldowns of the druids in the raid and wasn't quite content with the existing ones. So I made him one.

The Druidcom Interface lists all druids in the raid, coloring the names and subgroupnumbers according to their status
- Green: Everything ok
- Yellow: Out of range
- Red: Dead
- Blue: No Druidcom found
- Gray: Offline


Next to the name of each druid are two buttons. One for Innervate, one for Rebirth. If the druid has already sent his cooldown status, the buttons will display these cooldowns. If nothing was received yet, they will show a "?".

If you are leader of the raid or promoted, right-clicking one of the buttons will bring up a dropdown menu to select other players in the raid, sorted by class. You may customize which classes you want to see (warriors and rogues can only be shown in the Rebirth menu). In the Innervate dropdown, only people with mana below a customizable threshold are displayed, in the Rebirth dropdown, only dead people are displayed. Clicking one of these names will send a request to the druid the button belongs to, to innervate / resurrect the respective player.

On receiving a request, a dialog will pop up to choose whether the request shall be fulfilled immediately (clicking the OK Button will innervate / resurrect the player the dialog refers to, while keeping the current target) or recline it. If the requested target is innervated / resurrected, the button in Druidcom will flash green for every druid using Druidcom. If (within 20 seconds) a different target is innervated / resurrected, the button will flash yellow. If nothing is done (reclined or ignored the request), the button will flash red.

For the cooldown information to be as reliable as possible, every leader/promoted has a "Refresh" button. Upon clicking it, alle Druidcom users will send an update about their cooldowns. Optionally, an automatic update will be requested every 10 Seconds (interval customizable).

For help, type "/dc" or "/druidcom". For configuration, right click the titlebar.

What doesn't work yet:

* Updates not yet "automatic enough" (raid leaving / quitting, no update immediately after casting, etc)


On the Todo-List:

* Cutting down chat traffic by determination of one single druid leader
* Recline requests when in Bear / Cat / Moonkin
* Scaling of window
* Mouseover-Tooltips for exact cooldowns in mm:ss format
* French localization (help greatly appreciated!)
* Nature's Swiftness }}}
