Shaman Buff Reminder is a lightweight World of Warcraft addon designed to help Shamans keep their important shields and buffs active before pulling.
The addon only checks your buffs while you are out of combat. As soon as combat starts, the reminder frame automatically hides and the addon stops checking buffs. This prevents false alerts caused by aura updates during combat, especially in Mythic+ groups.
It is especially useful for Restoration Shamans who want a clean pre-pull checklist without adding clutter during fights.

How It Works
Shaman Buff Reminder checks your selected buffs while you are out of combat.
If something is missing, the addon displays a small reminder frame listing the missing buffs. Once everything is active, the frame disappears automatically.
When combat starts, the addon hides itself and stops checking. This makes it perfect for pre-pull preparation without distracting you during combat.
Tracked Buffs
• Water Shield or Lightning Shield
• Earth Shield on yourself
• Earth Shield on at least one tank

Mythic+ / Group Support
The addon includes a Mythic+ safe mode for Water Shield and Lightning Shield detection.
Some aura checks can behave differently in small group dungeon instances. To avoid false warnings, Shaman Buff Reminder includes a fallback system designed specifically for Mythic+ and party content.
