Description

Tylesser - Buff Tracker

A World of Warcraft addon that reminds you when a buff is missing. Choose the buffs you care about, like Righteous Fury or your blessings, and an icon appears on screen whenever one of them isn't on you. In a group, buttons appear next to your party frames for the buffs your party is missing: click one to cast it on that member.

Features

  • You choose what to track. Pick from the buffs on you right now or from the spells in your spellbook, search by name, or type a name or spell ID.
  • Every rank counts. Buffs are matched by name, so any rank of a spell counts as that buff.
  • Choose when each buff shows:
    • When missing (the default): only while it's not on you.
    • When active: only while it's on you.
    • Always: in full color while it's on you, dimmed with a red border while it's missing.
  • Time left and stacks on icons of active buffs. The time turns red in the last minute.
  • Move and resize. The icons start at the top of the screen. Drag the row wherever you want it and set the icon size.
  • Saved per character, because each class watches different buffs.

Party buff buttons

When a party member is missing one of your group buffs, a small button with the buff's icon appears next to their party frame. Click it to cast the buff on them. The button goes away once they have it.

  • Group spell first, then the single one. The button uses the group spell when you can cast it, and the single-target spell when you can't, usually because you're out of the reagent:
    • Arcane Brilliance (Arcane Powder) → Arcane Intellect
    • Prayer of Fortitude (Holy or Sacred Candle) → Power Word: Fortitude
    • Prayer of Spirit → Divine Spirit, Prayer of Shadow Protection → Shadow Protection (Sacred Candle)
    • Gift of the Wild (Wild Berries or Wild Thornroot) → Mark of the Wild
    • Greater Blessing (Symbol of Kings) → Blessing
  • Only where it helps. Arcane Intellect and Divine Spirit aren't offered to warriors and rogues. Members who are dead or offline get no buttons.
  • Paladin blessings: choose a blessing for each class, like Might for warriors and Wisdom for casters, and change it for single party members. A member's own choice is kept by name.
  • The tooltip shows who is missing the buff, how many reagents you have, and when the single-target spell is used instead.
  • Colors: red icon = out of range, blue icon = not enough mana.
  • Optional: also show buffs that end within a minute, so you can refresh them in time.
  • Works with Blizzard's party frames, raid-style party frames and ElvUI. Your own buffs are in the icon row, so your own frame gets no buttons, except in raid-style party frames.

In combat the game doesn't let addons add, move or remove these buttons. Buttons that are already there keep working, and a buff that lands only dims its button. Everything updates as soon as combat ends.

Turn each group buff on or off and set the blessings at Esc > Options > AddOns > Tylesser - Buff Tracker > Party buffs, or with /btrack party.

Usage

Type /btrack to open the options, or go to Esc > Options > AddOns > Tylesser - Buff Tracker. Click a buff on the right to track it, then use the button next to it to choose when it shows. To move the icons, untick Lock position and drag them.

  • /btrack: open the options
  • /btrack party: open the party buff options (group buffs and blessings)
  • /btrack add <name or spell ID>: track a buff
  • /btrack remove <name>: stop tracking a buff
  • /btrack list: show the tracked buffs and their state
  • /btrack lock / /btrack unlock: lock or move the icons
  • /btrack reset: put the icons back at the top of the screen

A name you type must match the buff's name, but capitals don't matter. If the game doesn't know the spell yet, the icon is a question mark until the buff first appears on you.

Related buffs count separately. Gift of the Wild doesn't count as Mark of the Wild, so track the one you use.
