Description

SelfBuffTracker

SelfBuffTracker is a lightweight, customizable World of Warcraft addon that tracks missing self-buffs, food buffs, flasks, and phials. It displays missing effects as clickable icons and can play reminders before and during combat.

🌟 Features

Buff tracking: Track any number of buffs or spells by spell name, spell link, or from the settings picker.
Flask and phial tracking: Optionally track flasks and phials separately, with a picker filter for the current expansion.
Clickable missing-buff icons: Missing buffs appear as icons; click an icon to cast the associated spell when possible.
Configurable layout: Change icon size, spacing, row and column count, screen position, and lock state.
Audio reminders: Toggle alerts, choose a built-in or bundled sound, set a custom sound file ID, and configure the reminder interval.
Settings UI: Configure the addon through the native WoW Settings panel.
Localization: Select the game locale automatically or choose a supported language in settings.
Character profiles: Settings and tracked effects are stored per character; settings can be copied from another character of the same class.
Spellbook and chat links: Shift-click a spell link into the chat command line to add or remove it quickly.
