Should I Roll?

Wishlist your BiS items and get a sound, a popup, and Need/Greed buttons the moment one drops — so you know whether to roll before the timer runs out. Crosses items off when you win them.

The roll window is up. Eight seconds on the clock. Is this one yours?

Should I Roll? answers that before the timer runs out.

Paste your BiS list once. When something on it drops, you get a sound and a popup with the item's icon, quality colour and tooltip — plus Need, Greed and Pass wired straight to the live roll. Win it, and it crosses itself off.

Built for Mists of Pandaria Classic and Siege of Orgrimmar.


Features

  • Import your list by pasting it. One item per line. Item links and item IDs work too, and leading bullets or 1. numbering are stripped, so a list copied straight off a guide site drops in cleanly.
  • Alerts the moment it drops — sound, plus a movable popup with the icon, quality colour and full tooltip on hover.
  • Roll without leaving the alert. During a group loot roll the popup carries Need / Greed / Pass bound to the real roll, plus a countdown bar that runs green → amber → red as the clock drains. Buttons you aren't eligible for grey out and tell you why.
  • Crosses off automatically when you win a roll, receive loot, get personal loot, or buy the item from a vendor.
  • Handles wanting two of something. Append x2 for a weapon you need in both hands. The row reads 0/2, ticks to 1/2 on the first win while still alerting, and only crosses off at 2/2.
  • Icons resolve immediately, before you have ever seen the item — a freshly imported list shows real art, not a wall of red question marks.
  • Per-character or account-wide lists, switchable from the window.
  • No dependencies. Nothing else to install; the addon declares none and needs none.

Getting started

  1. Type /sir to open the window.
  2. Click Import, paste your list, and confirm.
  3. Go raid.

Two things worth knowing

Put the class token on your list, not the tier piece. Tier gear doesn't drop in Siege of Orgrimmar — the token does. Wishlist Helm of the Cursed Protector, not Helmet of Celestial Harmony, or the alert will never fire. In Tier 16 that's Vanquisher for Death Knight, Druid, Mage and Rogue; Protector for Hunter, Shaman and Warrior; and Conqueror for Paladin, Priest, Warlock and Monk.

Items are matched by name, on purpose. Every SoO item has a different item ID per difficulty — LFR, Flex, Normal, Heroic — but the same name. Matching by name means one entry covers all four. A pasted item link would pin you to a single difficulty, so links are converted to their name on import.

A red ? icon means the name didn't resolve. Usually that's a typo, or an item below the endgame range the icon table covers.


What it doesn't do

It tells you whether an item is on your list — it does not sim your character, compare stats, or judge whether a drop is an upgrade. You decide what goes on the list; the addon makes sure you never miss it landing.

Feedback

Bug reports and feature requests are welcome on the issue tracker. If an item on your list dropped and the alert didn't fire, the item's exact in-game name is the single most useful thing you can include.
