Description
Unbuffed
It shows the buffs you don't have — before you notice they're gone.
Unbuffed is a buff reminder for WoW Classic Era / Hardcore and TBC Classic (Anniversary). When a buff is missing or about to run out, an icon appears on your screen — optionally bouncing, because a jumping icon is impossible to miss. Buff up, and it disappears. No WeakAuras, no setup per spell: Unbuffed already knows your class's buffs.
It watches in three directions:
- Your own buffs — Mark of the Wild, armors, aspects, shouts, auras… every trackable buff of your class, auto-discovered from your spellbook. Expiring buffs show the remaining time counting down inside the icon; click an icon to cast the buff on yourself (out of combat).
- Buffs from others (on you) — the Fortitude, Intellect or blessing you should have when the right class is in your party. Left-click the icon to ask in party chat (one click asks for everything that class owes you, with a customizable message: "Missing buff: - rebuff me please?" — the addon even prefers the paladin who has not blessed you yet). Right-click to dismiss a buff, a whole class, or everything for this group — lazy buffers stop hurting.
- Your buffs on party members — one small bar next to each party member showing what they are missing from you. Click to buff exactly that player (out of combat; never miscasts on yourself).
It knows the rules
- Buff pairs count as one: Gift of the Wild satisfies Mark of the Wild, Prayer of Fortitude satisfies Power Word: Fortitude — no false alarms while the group version is running.
- One blessing per paladin: with two paladins in the party you see at most two missing blessings, chosen by your priority order — and a blessing you didn't ask for still counts as that paladin being spent.
- Dampen vs Amplify Magic are exclusive on a target; Unbuffed lets you track exactly one.
- Level-aware: a level-5 paladin is never nagged about Blessing of Kings, and a fresh level-1 group stays silent until people can actually cast things. Talent-granted buffs (Kings, Divine Spirit, Trueshot Aura…) are marked with an orange * and can be muted with one checkbox — the game cannot reveal other players' talents, and Unbuffed is honest about that.
- Per-buff targeting: right-click a buff's group checkbox to choose which classes receive it — Intellect skips warriors and rogues by default (unless you want to level their weapon skill…).
Everything in one window
/unbuffed opens the single configuration window: per buff, choose
tracking, bounce, in-combat/out-of-combat checking, and the warning time
(smart defaults from each buff's duration — a 2-minute shout warns at 10
seconds, a 30-minute buff at 3 minutes). Icons live in movable bars that
grow in the direction you choose — free-floating, or attached to your
player frame and party frames so they follow your layout automatically.
Preview modes and dummy party frames let you position everything
perfectly while solo.
Data & compatibility
- Runs on Classic Era 1.15 (including Hardcore and Anniversary realms) and TBC Classic Anniversary 2.5 from one codebase.
- Fully locale-safe by design: buffs are identified by spell ID and matched via the client's own localized names — identical behavior on every client language.
- In combat everything keeps updating, but casting via icons is disabled — Blizzard restricts secure actions in combat, and Unbuffed never works around that with hacks.
- No libraries, no minimap button.
Limitations & Roadmap
- Party support today; raid support is planned.
- Consumable buffs (Well Fed, flasks) and weapon imbues (shaman/rogue/stones) are on the list.
- Whether another player actually learned a talent buff is not detectable — the orange * marking and the level gate are the honest best the Classic client allows.
Found a buff that misbehaves, a wrong duration or a missing pairing? Please report it with your class and the buff — the data tables are small and easy to fix.
