  • About Paladin Buffer
  •  

Paladin Buffer is meant to simplify the assigning and managing both greater and single blessings... and there's not really much to it besides that. Includes a small buff status frame to see what the lowest greater and single blessing is overall and per class, the ability to buff individual classes through it as well as a key binding to smart greater and single buffing people. Syncs with other Paladin Buffer users, and includes an option (enabled by default) to sync with Pally Power.

Slash command is /paladinbuffer and the short cut is /p

  • Another thing that would be nice is if PB would know now to use a greater blessing when there is only one person of the class, or at least if I'm not partied with anyone else. I have glyphs so my blessings last longer so I prefer not to use reagents I don't need to.

    Thanks!

  • Is there a command to change profiles from a macro?

    Great addon, I'm trying to use Paladin Buffer to replace my current PallyPower... but one thing i miss from PallyPower is the ability to single buff with a right click on the smart buff icon. Would it be possible to add that functionality with Paladin Buffer.

  • Wonderful addon, but one question if I may. The buff frame, is there a way to hide it? Being able to buff everyone at the same time is amazing, but with the ability to do so, I can now simply watch my own buff and refresh them all when mine is low, which eliminates the need to see when all of the buffs are low on time. If there isn't a way to hide the frame, could you possibly add that to your next release if it's not too complicated to code?

  • Thanks for making this addon. I got PP once and it was so huge and complicated that I just had to remove it. Since then practically every raid i've been in ppl nag me about not having PP. Since you've made this able to sync with PP, you've made life easier. Thanks!

    I love your simple approach. PP was (for me) ugly and ZOMGBuffs way to complicated.

    One issue that bothers me is to type /pb assign everytime I want to change buffs. Could you add a modifier to your mouse event listener that will open the assignement frame?

    So far, I think this is a great addon. Very simple to use and very effective. My only problem with is is its default frame where it is just centered right over your character. I know some people like it right in the middle of their screen but would it be possible to allow it to be movable in the future?

    Which frame are you talking about, the assignment gui or the buff frame? The buff frame can be moved through ALT + Drag (You need to unlock it through /pb config)

    Well actually you just made me feel stupid being that I didn't notice the option saying to use the alt key in order to drag. Problem solved. Thanks!

    Re-doing my previous comment more constructively.

    As of the latest version this addon no longer works for me as it only shows myself in parties... nobody else. Maybe it's something i'm doing wrong but i didn't see a setting.

    This addon is aesthetically pleasing and you state that Pally Power does unnecessary things. Those unnecessary things are actually the features i think would rock to have in this addon :). I would love to see you watching mounts and tell the user to buff Crusader Aura, then when they dismount have a setting to drop back to their other previously chosen aura. And seal management automatically.

    ^ Take from that you shouldn't call something useless just because you don't like it. I imagine a lot of other people do :)

    Not working in party is fixed, I just pushed it so it'll take an hour or so before Curse accepts it.

    Actually I didn't think of this, but here's a better way of looking at it.

    I design addons in a minimalistic way, while I try to make them flexible enough without having to add lots of additional code (eg, SimpleBuffBars and Afflicted), I'm generally stingy about what features I add, while I don't say no to every single feature I keep anything new I add to the scope of how I designed the mod originally.

    In the case of PaladinBuffer, the scope is just blessings, adding things like auras means making the assignment UI bigger, more code to support special cases like aura comm code, and so on, which goes outside the scope of how I've designed this addon. Personally, I consider the features in PallyPower to be worthless, I don't care about auras, seals, etc, nor do I think they should be in a blessing addon, but I also don't want to have to use an addon like ZOMGBuffs which is for every single class not just Paladins specifically.

    Some people of course, disagree with that philosophy and want it to do everything possible, it's not like I'm saying you can't use PallyPower of course, if you prefer more features than yes, you probably should be using PallyPower and not this mod.

    But yes, it is ultimately a matter of perspective, I consider a lot of what PallyPower to be useless, of course others disagree but thats my opinion as a user and a developer. That's what choice is for, why there's like 20 UFs (In fact, another one once I work on mine)

    Very constructive reply Shadowed and makes perfect sense. It's your addon and you will add what you want to it :) Thank you for fixing the problem.

    Have you ever thought of making it modular to easily allow people to write their own modules to hook into the addon so that you don't have to maintain the code. This way people can write aura warnings / seal warnings?

    Just a thought.

    I generally dislike writing code to be modular to allow hooking in as it complicates things, you have to add extra code that everyone uses for the minority who actually uses those hook ins.

    If I was adding RF/Aura/Seal assignments and such, I wouldn't even use the PB GUI, I'd use a custom one that is more suited towards that, that was smaller.

    Out of interest pallypower has been around for ages why would you want to make another mod. Pallypower assigns both 10min and 30min buffs, shows their timer and are easy to reapply? Well done for trying though.

    Because Paladin Power does a whole bunch of useless stuff including Aura/Seal/RF assignments that have absolutely no reason to be in a buffing mod.

    All features added to PallyPower in last two years were added only because uses asked for them. You can turn off RF/Seal/Aura buttons if you don't want to see them. And there's actually a reason to have them - they free up your normal action bars for something more useful.

    If there's anything I've learned from developing addons over the past 4 years, it's that users want everything, and if you listen to every single request, you end up with the borg types of addons (Which, unfortunately everyone loves) that are usually design disasters, Aloft is one of the better examples of this.

    "You can turn it off" is not good enough, that's not really a good design philosophy, see the response to fostot above thought.
