SheepKeeper

SheepKeeper tracks your Mage's Polymorph in WoW Classic Era and helps you
keep crowd control under control without casting anything automatically.

Features

• Countdown bar for your active Polymorph
• Recast pre-warning and latency-aware cast marker
• Detects normal expiry, melee breaks and spell breaks
• Shows the player who broke the sheep when the Combat Log provides it
• Shows the breaking spell when available
• Detects resisted, immune and otherwise failed Polymorph casts
• Detects unexplained early aura removal without falsely blaming a player
• Hidden addon-message network for Breaker events inside PARTY / RAID / INSTANCE_CHAT
• Optional visible PARTY announcement
• Movable and resizable Breaker and diagnostic Log windows
• English, German, French, Spanish and Russian localization

The hidden Breaker network uses WoW addon messages. It does not spam normal
group chat. The visible PARTY announcement is optional and disabled by default.
