SmartTotem 2.8.2

SmartTotem is an intelligent encounter-aware Shaman assistant for World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade Classic Anniversary. Instead of simply tracking cooldowns or displaying timers, SmartTotem actively analyzes encounters, your group, and your specialization to recommend the most effective totems for the situation.
Whether you're leveling, running Heroics, or progressing through raids, SmartTotem helps you make faster, smarter decisions without having to memorize every encounter.

Intelligent Encounter Recommendations

SmartTotem continuously monitors combat events, enemy abilities, party status, encounter mechanics, and your current specialization to recommend the right totem at the right time.

Automatic recommendations include:

Tremor Totem
Grounding Totem
Mana Tide Totem
Poison Cleansing Totem
Disease Cleansing Totem
Nature Resistance Totem
Frost Resistance Totem
Fire Resistance Totem

Pre-Pull Boss Detection
One of SmartTotem's signature features.
Before combat even begins, simply:

Mouse over an enemy
Target an enemy
Focus an enemy
If SmartTotem recognizes an upcoming fear mechanic, it immediately recommends Tremor Totem before the pull, giving your raid valuable preparation time.

Supported Raids:
Karazhan · Gruul's Lair · Magtheridon's Lair · Zul'Aman · Serpentshrine Cavern · Tempest Keep · Mount Hyjal · Black Temple

Instant Combat Casting

When SmartTotem recommends a totem, simply click it to cast. No searching through action bars, no scrolling through spell books, no guessing which totem should be dropped next. Just click and play.
Recommendation Panel and Flyout
Choose how you see recommendations. The Recommendation Panel shows encounter-aware totem suggestions as a persistent icon grid, while the Recommended Flyout presents them inline when hovering the main bar. Both can be enabled independently and include visual demos for previewing recommendation behavior before entering content.

Earth Shield Watch

Restoration Shamans can assign up to four tanks or players through the Earth Shield Manager. SmartTotem tracks each assigned player's remaining Earth Shield charges and current target at a glance, alerting you with audio cues whenever Earth Shield expires or is missing so it can be quickly reapplied.
Earth Shield assignments can be silently broadcast to other SmartTotem users in your raid, helping coordinate coverage between multiple Restoration Shamans without cluttering chat.
Assignments, frame positions, and display settings are saved with your active profile.

Save up to 12 custom loadouts
One-click loadout activation
Import full SmartTotem profiles as profile-backed loadouts that switch your entire configuration in one click

Favorite Panels

Star any supported option frame to add it to your Favorite Panels page. Favorites belong to your currently loaded profile, so each profile can have its own set of pinned options. Unlock the layout to move or resize your favorite frames, then lock it to save their positions.

Flexible Profile System

Create separate configurations for every specialization and playstyle.
Restoration, Enhancement, Elemental, and unlimited custom profiles
Each profile stores its own settings, preferences, layouts, frame positions, Favorites, loadouts, and bar element order

Frame Snapping and Drag Reorder

SmartTotem frames snap together automatically as you drag them, making it easy to build clean layouts. Drag any snapped frame and its attached group moves with it.
Supported bars and watch frames allow their icons to be reordered by dragging. Right-click drag to reorder, left-click drag to move.

Native Blizzard Key bindings

Every supported totem can be assigned directly through Blizzard's standard Key Bindings menu.

2.8.2 Changes

2.8.2 — Profile-Optional Customization and Options Improvements

Made the unnamed **None** configuration a fully persistent working setup, allowing users to customize SmartTotem without first creating a named profile.

Enabled Favorite Panels, options-page layouts, frame positions, scaling, and snap relationships while using None.

Creating a named profile now captures the user's current working configuration, including Favorites and layouts.

Added **Reset Layout**, **Reset This Tab**, and **Factory Defaults** controls with clear, separate scopes.

Improved tab-reset coverage for custom controls, including Loadout editor selections and Visible

Preserves existing named profiles, loadouts, Earth Shield assignments, settings, frame positions, and SavedVariables when upgrading.

2.8.1 — Persistent Settings Without a Named Profile

- Made the unnamed "None" configuration persist normally across `/reload`, logout, and login.

- Preserved explicit loading of "None" as the existing full factory-reset action.

- Limited talent/spec changes while using "None" to refreshing only spec-dependent default totems and shield mode.

- Preserved named profiles, profile snapshots, loadouts, Favorites, Earth Shield assignments, frame positions, SavedVariables names, and existing database formats.
