  • About ZOMGBuffs
  •  

All in one buffing mod for all classes. Paladin buff generated assignments based on Paladin capabilities and raid member sub-classes (druid tank vs. druid healer etc.). Plus overview of important raid buffs, and instant access rebuff on right click.

Main Mod

  • Responsible for loading class specific modules.
  • Has FuBar/Minimap icon for options menu (Sorry, I just don't like Waterfall at all), and info tooltip.
  • Single click minimap icon to quickly enable/disable auto-buffing.
  • Raid popup list with complete buff overview (just mouseover the floating ZOMG icon).
    • Highlights missing buffs for whole raid at a glance.
    • Shows time remaining on your buffs on whole raid.
    • Allows instant rebuff with Right-Click as assigned by seperately loaded modules, without having to muck around finding the player in the raid frames.
    • Shows in-combat reminder (swirly thing around icon) if someone needs a rebuff mid-fight.
  • Auto Buy reagents to defined levels.

Self Buffs

  • Handles all self buffing needs including temporary weapon enchants and poisons.
  • Can remind you in-combat when something needs rebuffing.
  • Special cases to auto buff Crusader Aura for paladins when mounted, and aspect of cheetah for hunters in cities.

Blessings

  • Remembers buffs assigned per class.
  • Remembers single buffs done after class buffs, and will repeat this as required.
  • Single exception icons can be shown when you enter combat to show a constant reminder during long fights for those that have single buffs. A simple click will rebuff them.
  • You can either set blessings up via the Blessings Manager, or use the minimap tooltip dropdown to cycle buffs, or you can simeple buff someone from your action bars and that buff will be remembered for that target, whether that's class or single buffs.

Blessings Manager

  • Auto Generate buff assignments based on a defined template, with facility to divide players into sub-classes (tank vs. dps warrior, healer vs tank druid etc.). Click the Configure button in the manager to show the global template, and click the Help button for more information on this.
  • Generated buff assignments will try to:
    • Allocate Might and Wisdom to paladins with improved versions.
    • Assign the same buff to a paladin where possible, for clarity when viewing the manager and when people ask "Who's doing XXX".
  • Change buffing assignments (group and single) of any paladin via the manager on the fly.
  • Interfaces seamlessly with users of PallyPower allowing them to benefit from the auto-generated templates.
  • Chat interface (Default is disabled) which allows any player to query who is buffing them with what. Whisper triggers: !buff and !zomg - Both the same.
  • Chat responder can be accessed from anyone who is running the Blessings Manager and is either a Paladin, a Raid Leader or a Raid Assistant.
  • Remote chat lets players change what they're being buffed.
   Examples:
   !buff                       - Show what I'm being buffed with.
   !buff ?                     - Show help
   !buff -bok +bom             - I want BOM instead of BOK
   !buff -light +kings         - I want Kings instead of Light.
  • Alt-Click minimap icon to accessing Blessings Manager quickly.

At first glance the Manager is a lot to take in, but don't be afraid. Just try to think of it as two seperate windows.

In configure mode, the rows have absolutely nothing to do with any paladins you may or may not have in the raid. But rather, the first row is what you want when you have 1 paladin, two rows for when you have two palas and so on. So you setup the priority for buffs from row 1 down to row 6. The default should suit most people, but tastes vary.

Some of the classes expand into multiple colums as their header suggests for different sub-classes with their own buff priority order.

Then, back in normal mode, you have say 2 palas and you click generate and it'll pick off the first two rows of the configured template (if a buff is not doable, say you had sanctuary on row 2 and noone can do it, then 3rd buff is picked out).

These buffs are then applied to the paladins in raid on a best fit basis. First kings and sanctuary are given out, then imp wis and imp might. The remainder are filled in with the preference to keep buffs on the same row where possible.

Any single exceptions are then done, based on who you put into which subclasses. Note that the most dominant sub-class is picked to do the group buff for any class, to limit the number of single casts as much as possible. Group buffs are kept wherever possible, so it doen't matter that kings is group buffed on priority row 1, and playerX needs kings as a single exception on row 2. It'll see that and put their exception on the other buff which is not common.

Buff Teh Raid

  • Group class buffing module for Mages, Priests and Druids.
  • Allows you to define which groups you're responsible for.
  • Enable or Disable buffs by clicking on the minimap tooltip for that buff.
  • Selective buffing for single target raid buffs such as Thorns or Amplify/Dampen Magic.
  • Unique Buff Tracking icon for Earth Shield, Fear Ward, Hand of Freedom and Hand of Sacrifice, which allows you to keep close watch on these buffs and easily recast with a click.

Common Behaviour for Buffing modules

  • Manually casting a buff will be remembered (with a few exceptions which shouldn't) as the new required auto buff.
  • Click the tooltip sectoin for that mod will cycle through buffs.
  • Shift Clicking the tooltip section for that mod will remove it's entry from the template.
  • Template save/load/conditionals.
  • Simple mousewheel rebuffing in one common interface.
  • Simple Right-Click rebuffing of your defined buffs for whichever module you have loaded.
  • Definable pre-expiry rebuff setting.
  • Options to not buff when:
    • Not everyone in raid is present (definable to a % of people present).
    • Not everyone in a party is present.
    • You are resting.
    • You are low on mana.
    • You have the Spirit Tap buff (geiv mana regen!).

Thanks

As always, many thanks to our tireless raid leader for ignoring me going AFK at various points to fix some problem. And to our Paladins, without whom this mod would not have been possible without their constant downloading and re-downloading of early alphas.

    When in 25er Raid and use R140 im getting Disconnects few seconds past Login.

    Yeah the same thing happens to me. Seems to be a conflict with another raid member that is also using r140. If I was online with and in the same raid with someone else using r140 we both would get random disconnects especially when changing zones. If we were not in the same raid it didn't seem to happen. I dropped back to 3.2.2 but it doesn't seem to like the newer version of pally power. I hope this helps resolver the issue. Thanks for a great mod.

  • This seems to have been what broke our 25-man the other night. Tons of people kept getting randomly disconnected. ZOMG wasn't implicated originally, but it looks like all of us who were disconnecting had r140.

    Perhaps this has something to do with the "comms fix" I read about in the changelog? I took a look at the code changes through SVN, but am not familiar with the Comms code or its implications for possibly disconnecting people.

  • There appears to be a comment thread below that discusses this issue. I'm going to test the claims that disabling the PallyPower communication module solves the DC problem.

    Disabled it and I'm not getting disconnects anymore.

    I have a problem with ZOMG. When I open the blessings manager, it doesn't show anyone elses assignments. I can open PallyPower and see assignments fine. Its as if zomg and pally power aren't communicating. Any ideas?

    Well, I posted a ticket on wowace, but I'm still having issues. Basically, ZOMGBuffs appears to be refusing to take assignments from PallyPower users. Even when I don't have RL/RA privileges, the PP user would set assignments, and ZOMGBuffs would immediately overwrite it to the last buffing assignment I had used while in a group/party. I did Ulduar last night and was still having the same problems and have been forced to turn PP communications off. Any idea what could be wrong? I love this addon and I'd hate to be forced to go back to PP. It hasn't been an issue at all until recently (probably 3.2 patch?)

    I had to finally drop zomgbuffs and I hate that :( It is SOOOO much better than pp, but it wouldn't accept assignments from anyone using pp unless they were an assist. I couldn't override that options.

    I'm having a problem with the last few builds where it will try to buff a warlock pet and then fail and go straight to the glowing hand, as if it couldn't find the target, even if I then click on the pet it wont do anything, Any ideas?

  • ameneon said 

    Richggs, which pet are you trying to buff? The imp for instance can make itself non-targettable (out of combat) thus also blocking buffs. This isn't an aspect of this addon specifically, you'll have the same problem trying to buff in other addons or even manually.

    Having a Similar issue. Updated this mod (and this mod only) and am being constantly disconnected.

  • Same issue here, I had to have all the raid disable it and then we no longer had DCs.

    Such a shame.

  • Same thing for me. Get disconnected as soon as I'm in a raid with lastest version of zomfbuss installed. Worked perfectly with release 6 and prior I think.

    It's the communication with pallypower. Disable that and it shouldn't d/c you. This should be fixed, however. Blessings manager is important for raiders.

    I accidental binded ZOMGPortals to what I wanted my buffs binded to, then I tried to change it. Now it has 2 keybindings and whenever I buff the portals interface pops up as well. When I try to clear the keybinding for portals I get:

    Flask of the North support is great, having it check for other Flasks to auto-suspend FotN buffing while any other is active would be perfect! ;-)
