Description
A WoW: Forever addon that reminds you about buffs you're missing that are easy to get: your own class buffs, buffs someone in your group can give you, and consumables you carry. You can pick which buffs and the levels to be reminded of in the options.
Use
- Out of combat, a small frame lists the buffs you're missing. Click a row to cast the spell or use the item (weapon poisons, stones and oils go on the right hand). Right-click hides it until you log in again.
- A buff that's about to run out (1 minute by default) is listed too, with the time left.
- Esc > Options > AddOns > Torvin's Buff Reminders, or
/tbr: turn buffs on and off, set the levels to remind you at (e.g. Thorns only from level 20, Elixir of Minor Agility only up to level 25), and the general options (hide while mounted, in towns, outside dungeons, sound, list upwards or downwards). - To move the frame:
/tbr unlock(or untick Lock), drag the blue title bar, then/tbr lock. Preview in the options fills the frame with sample rows while you place it. /tbr on|off,/tbr lock|unlock,/tbr reset(frame position),/tbr scale 1.2,/tbr grow up|down,/tbr unsnooze.
What it reminds you about
| Section | Shown when | Buffs |
|---|---|---|
| Your class | You know the spell | Fortitude, Inner Fire, Divine Spirit, Mark of the Wild, Thorns, Omen of Clarity, Arcane Intellect, mage armors, Demon Skin/Armor, blessings, paladin auras, hunter aspects, Trueshot Aura, Lightning Shield, shaman weapon imbues, rogue poisons |
| From your group | Someone of that class is in your group | Fortitude, Divine Spirit, Shadow Protection, Mark of the Wild, Arcane Intellect, blessings |
| Consumables and camping | You carry one you're high enough level to use (Well Fed: or you have Cooking; Camp Benefits: you can light a fire or are near one) | Well Fed (any food whose tooltip says "well fed"; in Forever it also gives +5% kill XP, shown while leveling), Camp Benefits (light a campfire, sit by it for a minute), stones and oils, agility/strength/defense/fortitude/intellect/spell power elixirs, scrolls |
How it works
- Buffs are matched by aura name, so every rank counts and nothing depends on spell IDs. Consumables
also count by the aura their item gives (
C_Item.GetItemSpell), learned from the items in your bags. - Checks run on aura, bag, group, equipment and spell events, plus once a second for buffs running low.
- The rows are secure buttons, which can't change in combat, so the frame hides in combat and updates again afterwards.
Known limitations
- English client only (aura, spell and item names).
- Weapon enchants can't be told apart: any poison, stone, oil or imbue on a weapon counts.
