I'm looking for a simple mod as the topic implies. As I as many others are leveling a paladin, and have a 10min duration on our buffs untill we get "Greater Blessing of X" at a higher level. I'm not sure when, but I'm 47 now and still don't have it.
To my point. I want a mod that works like "SimpleSelfRebuff" - Rebuff on mouseweel. But rather than rebuffing myself it should do so on my party. I can at any time, rightclick on any party player-frame and choose wich buff to keep up on the selected partymember.
I guess this wouldn't be much of a change from the "SimpleSelfRebuff" mod, but I have completely no programmingskill whatsoever :)
I could maybe imagine that a problem would occur when trying to get all those possible unitframes out there to fit in this mod, so they could be rightclicked to change the active buff on the partymember. An easy way to do this I think will be to copy "SimpleSelfRebuff" even more and jsut have four different dropdownmenus in a GUI saying:
From this dropdown you can select wichever buff to be set as active.
And yea, I have tried "PallyPower" but it's way to difficult and to much hassle for me to figure out. And its not that way I'd like it to work. "PallyPower" is way to advanced for my taste. I want it clean, simple and without the need of much modifying. Simply click and it works.
Think this would make many promisings Paladins life much easier ;)
CorkFu -- I am a palladin, level 48 (almost 49). I use CorkFU, it beats most other "autobuffers", it's mighty light, it has it's downsides and quirks but it's pretty damn good.
Bind a key to /Click CorkFuFrame hit that key repeatedly to buff yourself, your party, your raid... you can pick which buff for which class etc. Though I must admit it does get confused with palladins. My levelling partner is also a pally, we both use BoW on ourselves, and then cast BoM/BoL on the other (it does depend on situation LOL but usually BoM), sometimes CorkFu refuses to buff with BoM on her because she already has BoW active etc. But oh well such is the life of a palladin.
The addon should simply rebuff whatever you last buffed the person with. Shouldn't be hard to implement and saves you the time of coding a more complicated UI.
I'm not sure if you can still do the mousewheel thing. If you can it would only work out of combat. You may be relegated to the button API.
If I were to code a Buffing addon it would work like this:
1. Join group, buff history resets
2. Buff people like normal, addon watches who/what classes you buff
3. Buffs run out or have X time left, addon pops up a buff button that buffs the person with the buff you last cast on them.
I feel this workflow is a lot simpler than requiring you to right-click everyone and select what to buff them with. There's a bit more complexity to it, but that's the basic idea. For example, range/dead checking.
Oh yes, might I add, there's no need to target anyone in your party with CorkFu, you just hit the button and it buffs for you OOC of course, since Blizz doesn't allow in combat stuff like that anymore.
I think the "simply remembers" and "no need for a complex GUI" are not going well, if you want to remember which buff is assigned to who, that requires a decent database module to temporarily store that information.
I still would like to see a buffer that doesn't stutter on palladins, but due to our huge amount of buffs, the ability to buff eachother with buffs that we also have... eg. I ran uldaman with 3 other pallys, we had (all) concentration, retribution, devotion, fire resistant aura, BoW, BoM, BoL.. I guess someone forgot to do their part - or my memory fails me LOL. But it's easy for an addon to get confused with a pally.
CorkFu seems like a tiny small thing, but look at the code, it's quite a lot. (Btw. Tek.. Of all the addons that you've written, imvho this is one of the handiest for me personally.)
You could take a look at pallypower, a lot of people swear by that one. I vaguely remember having a buffer once that worked on mousewheel, but I am not sure what the name of it was - or if it still works. I use my worldzoom often, so no mousewheel stuff for me.
This is the one I use to buff myself and my party members including their pets.
Not sure about its "lightness", but, it is the one I have been using for my characters.
And, yes, you don't have to specifically target the units. Just tell SmartBuff what buffs to put on each class/pet.
I like the option of casting the buff on myself first. This way, if my buff is about to disappear then, the other character buffs will soon disappear too.
Its not an Ace based mod but buffwatch might work for you as well. Its available over on curse.com. It puts a small frame on your screen (can be minimized) which shows all your party members and the buffs they have. When they expire they turn red. To rebuff a particular buff you just click its icon. Not quite auto-buffing but still fairly handy.
Especially if you want to track a particular buff for a special circumstance. It also remembers the buffs you used on someone the last time they grouped with you. Or at least it did when i initially used it. Not been updated since june of last year but the comments on it suggest its still functioning properly.
I'm also a big corkfu fan...I run with the tooltip detached and the window/border set to transparent. Its positioned just left of my character on the screen. Its extremely easy to see when I or someone else is missing a buff that way. And I absolutely love how easy it is to set up who you are buffing. I see nothing if everyone is buffed up how they should be.
If only tekkub would make it so it would skip those out of range (or out of los or something, some kind of blacklist) so that the buffing macro wouldn't just stop.

Amen to that... I've had that happen so often, and since it buffs me last (does it do that with you too?) I miss mine usually :P

Hmm, wouldn't this be to difficult you think? I like the idea.
The CorkFu cannot be found either on wowace, wowui or curse btw.
Hmm.. strange that it didn't show up on their respective downloadpages own searchengine..
It's there, you must have been looking in the wrong place.
I will note that
1) Cork is not in active development, and won't be until I port it OUT of FuBar... timeframe: well after Wrath.
2) Pally-mode does not factor in multi-target buffs, because I never had a toon to sit around and test out the detection with. Every other class usuas the same logic (by party) for multi-targets so it was easy for me to test. Current timeframe for this feature: whenever someone levels a fucking pally to 60 for me to test with...

Ok :) Fair enough. It was worth asking. So you want to take it awat from Fubar, I can't say I am against that, I don't even have FuBar installed. My Pally is almost lvl 50, but in a few days my wow expires. Though I am trying to quit smoking so I can keep playing (Talk about addictions huh?) But that doesn't help much does it? On moments like these, I wish I knew more about working on the Ace2 framework and with FuBar plugin :(
That said, Cork isn't broken, it works - it may not be perfect, but honestly - a lot of rebuffmods that work fine for all classes, have issues with Pallys. It's pallys, it's not the buff mods LOL.
aye, pallies are the ADHD buffing class. At least they have 30-min ones nowadays. Until we hit 60 my leveling partner never keept BoW up on me all the time like I whined at him for... now he does.
Yep, not easy. Try running Ulda with 4 paladins, use all different aura's, make sure everyone has the buffs. It's a damn full time job :P I did nothing but check buffs and heal some in between the running around. I think part of the hard stuff about pally buffs are that there are a) a lot of them. b) 1 buff per pally per target c) if pallyA casts BoW on self and party, pallyB can still cast other blessings while rule b is still active. I guess especially b+c there confuse addons. To correctly track it, you also need to track if said buff was cast by player or not, if not cast by player then cast some buff, if cast by player end. Something in the likes.
That would be one hell of a loop >.< Since you would have to build in a range check too. It hurts to think it over.
Pally Power. Its a must have for paladins, I cant live without it. Basically does everything you just talked about. http://www.wowace.com/wiki/PallyPower
