WOTLK Note

This addon will not be updated for WOTLK because the changes to Vampiric Touch will make it obsolete. Instead of returning a set amount of mana to people, the current spell will regenerate a percentage of players' max mana. Enjoy this addon while you can!

Description

Mana Battery is a standalone remake of VampWatch after the 2.4 combat log changes. It tracks the amount of mana returned to each member of your group from Vampiric Touch during a battle and calculates the effective mana per 5 given to each party member. An excellent way to explain to casters in your group why they never seemed to go out of mana on the raid or instance boss!

Mana Battery can place a window on your screen to display the mana gains in real time. It will update during combat; once you exit combat, the previous fight's information sticks around until you enter combat again. The default setting for the real-time window is off.

Left-clicking the window brings up a menu to report the information to your party, raid, guild, or put it in say. This is a one-time report that does not clear the channel you've set to regularly report to (see below). Right-clicking the window hides it.

Slash commands:

"/manabattery" toggles the window on/off.
"/manabattery help" will detail the following commands.
"/manabattery disable" will hide the window and stop collecting combat information.
"/manabattery enable" will re-enable collecting information but will keep the window hidden.
"/manabattery channel <channel>" will change the channel that you report to when the window is closed. "guild", "raid", "party", and "say" are valid channels, or use "self" for a report to your screen only.
"/manabattery report" will always report to the channel you've set with the above command.

You may also use "/manabatt" or "/manabat" in place of "/manabattery".
