Description
Growler was originally simply an addon that kept track of whether growl was on autocast when it shouldn't be. It has now been extended to keep track of other pet functions, and helps you take quick action by flashing an appropriate macro on the addon bar. You also send a warning to your group if another player's pet is growling, so other classes can use it as well. Pet functions include:- Pet attack
- Follow/Stay/MoveTo
- Talent ability
- Family ability
- Growl autocast
- Call / Revive / Mend Pet
- Play Dead / Wake Up
- Passive / Assist
Other functions:
- Handle some functions automatically when attacking
- Easy access to calling / dismissing / taming pets
- Easy access to respeccing your pets
- Check out your stables on the go (you need to visit it once to initialize the database)
- Slash commands (type /growler or /growl to see a list or scroll to the bottom of this page)
- You can right-click an active button to snooze for a set amount of time
You have the option to toggle any of these functions as well as sound, blinking screen icons, the group warning and pretty much anything else from the interface options menu.
Work in progress:
Items marked with (done) will be out with the next update- Improving the internal structure.
To-do list:
- Stable support for multiple hunters on the same account- Individual snooze timers for each spell on buttons with multiple spells
- Translations for other languages
- Interface for browsing all pets to see their model, location, abilities etc.
- More information on the stables page
- Key bindings
- Support for Warlocks
- Support for other addons, especially bar mods like Dominos and macro mods like Gnomesequencer and M6
