1. Known limitations

  • may affect performances with lots of active bars and low computer specs
  • frame may not show/hide properly (future release planned to address this issue)

2. New features compared to original addon:

  • slackers bar (disconnected, feign death, low level, AFK, ...)
  • loot method check bar : tells method, ML, threshold
  • shift+clic to report bar informations to a selected channel
  • bar displays a % text or NA if data cannot be computed
  • Handles single buff / group buffs aggregation into a single entity, i.e. Fortitude bar counts both 30 min and 1h00 buffs
  • some consumables can be in individually tracked and/or tracked in combined form (+20dmg potion; +30 dmg potion; +20 or +30 dmg potion)

3. Changed features compared to the original addon:

  • For some bars, players AFK/Disco/dead are ignored
  • Rework of the settings frame
  • Healer and DPS Mana % bar improvements:
    • will try to detect cat and moonkin forms (druids) and ignore the player and its power status
    • will ignore players with role "tank" (should avoid druid bear form being taken into account). So, if you have a healer priest as MT ... well ...
    • will only count "Mana" power and discard all other kind of energies
    • mana % is calculated by computing [global/max global] mana pool instead of avering mana % into a %
  • DarkmoonFaire buff : reuse code from NovaWorldBuff to indicate on the bar if the DMF is inactive
  • Soulstones : tooltip tells which players have a soulstone and who did the cast
