Smart Paladin Libram Swapper for all specs!
Now localized for English, Traditional Chinese, German, and French clients.
2.4.3 Patch
Delete 2.42.K1 and update to 2.43.B2
Healing Swaps NO LONGER WORK IN COMBAT on spells with a cast time.
Heals cast will now queue librams for swap, and they will be swapped in whenever you use an instant ability.
2.4.3 Heals
I have changed the mod to Queue healing librams for swapping, then commit the swap while you cast an instant ability like a buff, a seal, or a shock. This is far from ideal but it will still be of use in arena.
Features
This mod will swap librams based on your spell cast, maximizing mp5, HPS, mitigation and damage output! :O Best of all, it does this during the spells gcd so you do not incur any downtime!
For Holy Light; if you have the libram of mending, this mod will cast HL with this libram once every 30 seconds (now customisable) for the buff, then use the secondary libram you have selected (LoSR, LoAT, LoTL) while the buff is active.
Flash of Light; the mod will use your PVE libram of choice in PVE mode, or your PVP libram of choice in PVP mode. It now features automated PVP/PVE combat detection.
When using holy damage spells: this mod will also take advantage of your holy damage librams. (Exorcism, holy wrath, judgement of righteousness, and consecration.)
Retribution mode; Libram cycling will swap in both your 200AP buff and 53 crit buff librams as well as your Exorcism libram so that you gain maximum benefit from all 3. Crusader strike librams can also be swapped in for those with expert timing. Anti GCD detection will abort any swaps that may cause an additional GCD.
Protection mode, this mod will swap in your Judgement libram of choice while the Judgement cooldown is up, and otherwise have your Holy Shield libram equipped for maximum threat and mitigation.
This logic can be overridden by just selecting one libram for each mode.
"But I'm just a Holy paladin and I have xx mod": Bang! Libram Swap has features for holy that xx mod does not! Such as; spam proofing your holy light casts, preventing double mending procs, and using your holy spell damage librams.
Commands
The Menu can be brought up in game with /bls
PVP/PVE mode can be toggled with /bls pvp, /bls pve for use in macros.
In prot mode /bls aoe and /bls crush will toggle between your holy shield and consecration librams for use in macros.
Latest Updates
New: 2.43.B2
Instant holy swaps improved, you may now select 'Extra Swaps' which will disable your damage librams on Judgements and SotC allowing for more healing swaps (If you do not have these damage librams selected this option will be automatically activated).
Holy instant swaps should now once again work on all clients (sorry about that everyone).
Libram swap sound removed.
2.43.B1:
Protection and Retribution modes working as before.
Healing librams are now Queued for swapping on the next instant cast.
Retribution Cycles
While using the 2 step retribution cycle BLS will equip your LoDJ when you use crusader strike until you proc the 200AP buff using your judgement ability. BLS will then equip your Libram of Avengement on the next crusader strike in time for the next judgement, then return to Libram of Divine Judgement on the third crusader strike.
The 3 step mode follows a similar cycle, however, if your target is a demon or an undead, (and if your exorcism cooldown is shorter than your judgement cooldown by at least a GCD) your Libram of Wracking will be equipped and your Libram of Divine Judgement returned in the GCD caused by casting Exorcism.
To use these modes effectively you *must* use crusader strike and exorcism as soon as they are up.
The Libram of Righteous Power can be used with the 2 step cycle, however, it can cause swing timer issues so it is not recommended.
It is possible to use the 3 step cycle without having the Libram of Avengement, just deselect it after choosing the cycle.
F.A.Q.
Q: I type /bls and nothing happens! ZOMG!
A: Download the latest version (2.43.B1).
Q: The menu works fine but when I cast nothing happens!
A2: Check that the mod is enabled, and that you have checked all the librams you want to use, and unchecked any you dont have.
A3: Check to see if your client (non english) is supported or partially supported in localization.lua.
Known Issues
Libram of Righteous Power can cause gcd/swing issues depending on your rotation: This is known and probably permenant, if your rotation causes these issues I recommend disabling LoRP and using the dual LoA/LoDJ combo instead) ).
Your first cast after each log in is used to calibrate the mod and will not make a swap. Your first ever cast will auto detect your latency.
Spamming causes swaps to be delayed, do not spam in the middle of a cast or you will miss a swap (without the mod your spell would be cancelled).
Incorrectly set latency will cause interupts or no swaps, if unsure of what to set this to, err on the side of caution by setting the latency bar
slightly below your lowest average latency.
Report any bugs (or suspected bugs) you find in a ticket with a detailed description so they can be resolved! If you want to be super helpful, use the command /bls debug and then screenshot the problem.

Installation Guide
- Exit "World of Warcraft" completely
- Download the mod you want to install
- Make a folder on your desktop called "My Mods"
- Save the .zip/.rar files to this folder.
- If, when you try to download the file, it automatically "opens" it... you need to RIGHT click on the link and "save as..." or "Save Target As".
- Extract the file - commonly known as 'unzipping'
Do this ONE FILE AT A TIME!
- Windows
- Windows XP has a built in ZIP extractor. Double click on the file to open it, inside should be the file or folders needed. Copy these outside to the "My Mods" folder.
- WinRAR: Right click the file, select "Extract Here"
- WinZip: You MUST make sure the option to "Use Folder Names" is CHECKED or it will just extract the files and not make the proper folders how the Authors designed
- Mac Users
- StuffitExpander: Double click the archive to extract it to a folder in the current directory.
- Verify your WoW Installation Path
That is where you are running WoW from and THAT is where you need to install your mods.
- Move to the Addon folder
- Open your World of Warcraft folder. (default is C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\)
- Go into the "Interface" folder.
- Go into the "AddOns" folder.
- In a new window, open the "My Mods" folder.
- The "My Mods" folder should have the "Addonname" folder in it.
- Move the "Addonname" folder into the "AddOns" folder
- Start World of Warcraft
- Make sure AddOns are installed
- Log in
- At the Character Select screen, look in lower left corner for the "addons" button.
- If button is there: make sure all the mods you installed are listed and make sure "load out of date addons" is checked.
- If the button is NOT there: means you did not install the addons properly. Look at the above screenshots. Try repeating the steps or getting someone who knows more about computers than you do to help.
Translations
When you download a mod, please be sure that the mod is compatible with your translation of wow. Some mods only work on the US versions, while some only work on some of the various European versions. These variations are called "Localizations".
TOC Numbers (Out of Date Mods)
When Blizzard patches WoW, they change the Interface number. This means that all mods will be "out of date" unless or until the author releases a new version for that interface. Some people go into the .toc files and update the numbers themselves, but this is STRONGLY advised against as it will cause problems locating possible incompatibilities addons. When you log into WoW after a patch, you DO NOT have to delete your interface directory. All you have to do is simply tell WoW to ignore the interface numbers and load all the mods anyway. All you have to do is, while at the "character select" screen, look in the lower left corner and click on the "addons" button. A window will pop up listing all your installed mods.
If you look in the upper left corner of that window there should be a box that says "Load Out of Date AddOns". You want to CHECK this box. Now simply go into WoW normally and all your mods should load. As of the 1.9 patch, you will have to do this after EVERY patch/update that Blizzard posts! If you encounter any problems with a mod after a patch, please be sure to let the author of the mod know so they can fix it.

Mac Support
WoW addons are not platformed based. As such, they can be used on either Mac or PC. You can extract both .zip and .rar files on a Mac using StuffitExpander.
