Opcow's Buff Reminder

Never pull without your buffs again. Opcow's Buff Reminder puts icons on your screen when a buff you care about is missing, about to run out, or low on stacks, so you can rebuff at a glance. It's built for WoW: Forever.

What it does

• Buff groups. Put the buffs you want watched into groups, such as Fortitude, your armor spell, food or an elixir. A group's icon shows when none of its buffs are on you, so mutually exclusive buffs can share one icon.
• Early warning. Get warned before a buff expires, with a countdown on the icon.
• Low stack warning. Get warned when a buff is down to a set number of stacks or charges, such as Inner Fire or Lightning Shield.
• Weapon enchants. Poisons, oils, sharpening stones and shaman imbues each get their own main hand and off hand reminders.
• Smart about cooldowns. A buff you can't cast yet because the spell is on cooldown doesn't nag you.
• Warning sound. Pick any of the game's sounds, and preview it before you choose.

Works in combat

WoW: Forever hides most aura data from addons during combat. Buff Reminder uses the best source it can for each group:

• Live tracking for buffs the game still reports in combat.
• The Cooldown Manager for class buffs it tracks.
• Blizzard's own aura button, placed right on your icon, for buffs nothing else can read.
• Timers recorded before the pull for everything else.

Each group shows how well it can be followed in combat, so you always know what to expect.

Make it yours

• Drag and snap. Icons snap together into rows, columns or any shape you like. Shift-drag pulls an icon away on its own.
• Icon size per group. Mixed sizes line up neatly.
• Make missing buffs stand out. Add a pulse, flash, steady glow or the game's spell alert glow, plus a color wash such as red. Set it per group or for everything.
• Separate opacity for missing icons and for warning icons.
• Time left as text, a cooldown swipe, both or neither.
• Conditions. Hide icons while dead, resting, mounted, on a flight path, in combat, in an instance, in a party or in a raid, or only when you're not in one of those.
• Scripts. Write your own Lua rules for when an icon should hide.

Easy setup

• A buff picker with three tabs: My spells, Active now, and Seen before, which remembers food, elixirs and buffs other players cast on you.
• Copy from another character. Set up your main once, then copy its groups, options and icon layout to your alts.
• Open the options with /obr, the minimap button or the addon compartment. Right-click the minimap button to hide the icons, and Shift-click it to unlock them for moving.
