AnnoyingBuffReminder 2.8

by Wikwocket (wikwocket@gmail.com)

This AddOn displays an annoying reminder to use class buffs, armor spells, shouts, aspects, blessings, and Victory Rush.

Specifically, it will display an annoying popup on your screen (you can drag it with the mouse) if you do not have an appropriate spell up:

• Death Knight: Horn of Winter, Bone Shield
• Druid: Mark/Gift of the Wild, Thorns, Omen of Clarity
• Hunter: Any Aspect, Trueshot Aura
• Mage: Any Armor spell, Arcane Intellect/Brilliance, Amplify/Dampen Magic
• Paladin: Any aura, any blessing, any seal, Righteous Fury, Crusader Aura while mounted
• Priest: Inner Fire, Power Word/Prayer of Fortitude, Divine/Prayer of Spirit, Shadow Protection
• Rogue: Hunger for Blood
• Shaman: Any Shield spell, and weapon enchants
• Warlock: Any Skin/Armor spell, Soul Link, Demonic Sacrifice, Detect Invisibility
• Warrior: Battle Shout or Commanding Shout

It will also remind Warriors to use Victory Rush after each kill.

This AddOn will work with the English, French, German, and Spanish versions of WoW.

There are several options:

• /abr pvp/bg to remind while in a battleground/arena.
• /abr lock|unlock to toggle window locking and click-through.
• /abr center to reset window position to center of screen.
• /abr <spell> to toggle reminders for the following optional spells:
  • battle|battleshout|bs - Battle Shout
  • command|commandingshout|cs - Commanding Shout
  • amp|amplify - Amplify Magic
  • damp|dampen - Dampen Magic
  • thorns - Thorns
  • omen|clarity|ooc - Omen of Clarity
  • soul|link|soulink - Soul Link
  • detect|invis - Detect Invisibility
  • demon|sacrifice - Demonic Sacrifice
  • spellstone|firestone|stone - Spellstone or Firestone weapon buff
  • tsa|trueshot - Trueshot Aura
  • fury|righteous|righteousfury|rf - Righteous Fury
  • shield|shieldspell - Shaman shield spells
  • divine|spirit - Divine Spirit
  • shadow|shadowprot - Shadow Protection
  • hungerforblood|hunger|hfb - Hunger for Blood
  • bone|shield|boneshield - Bone Shield

All settings are saved across sessions, except for Warrior shout preference, since using this depends on whether you have two warriors in your party.

It will only annoy you if you have more than 50% mana or 10 rage, are not mounted, not flying, not in a capital city, and not mind controlled. It will also not bug you if you are less than level 15. It won't remind you in battlegrounds/arenas unless you tell it to.

The popup should appear in the situations when you would want the buff up. No configuration is necessary, unless you want to also enable reminders for optional spells such as Divine Spirit.

I hope you find this mod useful. Feedback and suggestions are always welcome!
