BuffWatcher is an addon that will periodically check your buffs, and if you're missing an essential one, it'll put a warning up on the screen. Underlined buffs in this description will only be checked for if you have the talent. If you run into a problem or have a request, post it here or email me, and I'll look into it :)

ProcWatcher is a small part of BuffWatcher that, instead of watching for missing buffs, watches for active procs. The procs watched for are the kind that influence gameplay, such as "next ability is free" or "next ability is instant". Underlined procs will only be checked for if you don't have the talent for it. As I level up my alts, or change specs (and therefore glyphs) among my mains, I will be adding glyphed procs to the list.

If you find a buff or a proc missing from the watch list, and would like it added, please let me know about it. I'd be happy to add it :)

  Esc -> Interface -> Addons -> Buff Watcher
  

Known Bugs:

• Sometimes the warning frame is moved offscreen. Noticible by BuffWatcher not warning you when it should (which isn't very noticible).
  
  • Fix: Use the /bw set X-loc Y-loc command, or open the GUI and set the coordinates in there.
    
• The text of the warning does not change when changing the fontsize.
  
  • Fix: Reload the UI, either by relogging or by the /reloadui command.
    
• The "movable" option in the GUI does not work.
  
  • Fix: /bw movable then relog. That might work. Otherwise, using the /bw set X-loc Y-loc command is guaranteed to work, or open the GUI and set the coordinates in there (should work).
    
• Applying temporary weapon buffs, such as Windfury (Shaman), Poisons (Rogue), Sharpening Stones, and Weapon Oils, does not trigger a buff check.
  
  • Fix: Manually force a refresh, easily done by applying/losing/refreshing a buff.
    
• Slider tooltips in the GUI do not refresh when changing the slider's value.
  
  • Fix: Move the mouse off and back on to see the new value, or look to the right of the slider for the slider's value.
    
• BuffWatcher sometimes cannot tell when a buff becomes low. This is more common in solo play where nothing is happening.
  
  • Fix: None. Do something more often so BuffWatcher checks buffs more often.
