RaidBuffGrid — Priest Buffing Made Easy (Classic Era)
Lightweight priest buff assistant for WoW Classic Era. RaidBuffGrid shows a compact, class‑colored party/raid grid and lets you click‑cast Power Word: Fortitude and Divine Spirit (with optional Shadow Protection) at speed. It highlights who is missing which buff, tracks remaining time, dims out‑of‑range units, and includes smart tooltips and a minimap button for fast control.
Key Features
- Class‑colored grid with raid layout (up to 8 subgroup columns × 5 rows; party collapses to a single column).
- Click‑casting on unit buttons:
- Left: Fortitude (single), Alt+Left: Prayer of Fortitude (group)
- Right: Divine Spirit (single), Alt+Right: Prayer of Spirit (group)
- Middle: Shadow Protection (single), Alt+Middle: Prayer of Shadow Protection (group)
- Optional Shift+Left: target only (no cast) for manual control.
- Visual clarity: out‑of‑range dimming + pass icon, dead skull and offline overlays, compact color‑coded minute timer for the shortest remaining priest buff.
- Smart tooltips that update every second with actionable hints (needed spells, remaining time, zone/range status).
- Minimap button: Left toggles the grid, Shift+Left posts a missing‑buffs report, Right opens options, Middle toggles Shadow Protection support, Alt‑drag moves the icon.
- Efficient refresh: updates only while visible units exist; adjustable refresh rate.
- Reagent‑aware group buffs; clear status in tooltips.
- Localization: English (enUS) and German (deDE).
