Pally Power is an add-on that provides an interactive and easy to use interface that allows you to control assignments of blessings for yourself and, if you are a party leader or an assistant, for other paladins in your group or raid. Pally Power supports six greater blessings: Greater Blessing of Might, Wisdom, Salvation, Light, Kings and Sanctuary. Lesser blessings support is limited to mid-cycle temporary re-buffs. You don’t need to be a paladin to control raid/party blessings.
Normally PallyPower displays a cast window that shows you how many people require blessings and timers for remaining time of your blessings. The cast window displays one button per each class you were assigned to buff, including hunter and warlock pets as a separate ‘pet’ class. Each class button displays an icon with an assigned blessing, a class icon, a remaining buff timer and a number of unbuffed and/or dead players. Each class button allows you to cast both greater (left mouse click) and lesser blessings (right mouse click).
Left mouse click provides an automatic buff and target selection: Pally Power checks the party or the raid roster to find a nearby person of a specific class, verifies that the person is in range and casts the blessing. After each cast the name of the person and the buff is stored until the next cast to allow re-cast of the same buff in combat.
Right mouse click works the same way as left mouse click, but in addition the automatic target selection ensures that the target is not buffed already. This is useful when you want to temporary rebuff only one to two persons until the greater blessing expires on all class members. Typically a mid-cycle rebuff on trash pulls. You’ll need to do a right click once for each person you want to rebuff.
Class buttons change color depending on the buff situation. They are transparent if every class member is buffed, red if all class members require a buff and yellow if there is at least one unbuffed person.
In combat the automated target selection turns off and class buttons become grayed-out to indicate that they are not reliable and use previously stored target and buff name. If someone reassigns your blessings while you’re in combat, the assignments will not apply until you leave the combat.
An automated buff and target selection does not work in combat due to protected interface functionality implemented in WoW Patch 2.0.
In order to bypass the protected interface limitation Pally Power 2.0 introduced new player buttons that do not use any automated functionality, but allow you to select specific target for a blessing.
Pally Power displays player buttons when you move your mouse cursor over or nearby a class button. Player buttons are displayed for each class member and show the player name, a buff icon if the player if buffed, range flag and dead/alive flag. Each player button allows you to cast both greater and lesser blessings (same as class button), but you have to make the decision. Flags on player buttons are updated every other second and are pretty reliable.
Right after installation, Pally Power by default displays a red anchor button in the middle of the screen. You can click on the button to make it moveable or to access the assignments window (see the tool tip).
Alternatively you can type “/pp config” to access the assignments screen.
The assignments screen displays a grid with paladin names and classes. For each paladin it displays an icon for each available blessing, a rank of the blessing and a number of talent points spent to improve the blessing. It also shows the number of Symbols of Kings that are in paladins inventory.
By default the grid with assignments is empty. You can use left mouse click or mouse wheel to cycle thru available blessings (wisdom->might->salvation->light->kings->sanctuary->nothing->wisdom). Right mouse click clears an assignment. This method does not allow you to assign blessings assigned to other paladins and this method uses ‘smart buffs’ option that prevents you from assigning blessings that do not make any sense (wisdom on rogues, might on casters, etc.). This method is useful when you want to fine-tune assignments.
There’s a method to assign same blessing to all classes. Press Shift key and use a mouse wheel to scroll thru available blessings. This option ignores buffs assigned to other paladins and ‘smart buffs’. It is possible to assign duplicate buffs and pointless buffs using this method, so beware.
The Clear button on assignment screen clears all assignments if you’re a raid leader or an assistant or clears only your own blessings otherwise.
The Refresh button sends every paladin in your raid/party a command to report their available blessings, number of symbols of kings and assignments. By default Pally Power broadcasts your own information once you join the raid and broadcasts the number of Symbols of Kings in your inventory every minute.
The Option buttons opens up an options menu that allows you to configure PP layout, scale, direction and alignment of class and player buttons, etc.
What Pally Power does not and will not do:
- limited blessings like Blessing of Sacrifice, Freedom and Protection
- seals and judgements
- cast greater blessings on all pets using a single click(that a limitation of greater blessings)
- hide class or player buttons off the screen
- make coffee
- win WoW
What Pally Power will do:
- make your paladin leader’s job easier
- make your blessings manageable
Change Log - PallyPower
Looking for translators to finalize esES, esMX, zhCN localizations.
minor fixes:
+ You can now assign any lesser blessing even if the player is covered by greater blessing assignment.
+ Auto-assign should not assign useless buffs anymore (no wisdom for warriors, etc.)
Originally posted by Aznamir I don't think I'm going to create any type of spec dependent configs.
But I think you can easily do the following:
Install the mod and configure it the way you like. Create a second profile - Options, Profile, Other - enter new name and press enter. Then select Options, Profile, Copy From and select Default. Now you got 2 equal profiles. Now you can configure seals and rf buff in each differently. To switch profiles use 2 macros:
sounds reasonable. i could easily incoporate the command line into my outfitter scripts. i just don't get, why pp won't remember my settings in different profiles.
Originally posted by eNTi i'd have a feature request: support for dual-spec. meaning, it should change the profile automatically, when i switch my spec. also... my profiles do not remember anything but configuration window size? no blessings, no seal, no aura. could you please look into that?
otherwise, really great and helpful addon.

Originally posted by Eolian ok forgive my stupidity(blonde irl)...
but i have it on skin - none, and its still not see through and its still a but ugly red color.
also, i stated before i have no idea what to do with those codes or where to put them. none of those posts say where to put that code(in the .lua? but where?) and i saw a couple different codes as well. could you send me a pm so i can change the transparency so i dont have to take up this nice thread?
With 'None' skin, once you buff someone the red color goes away and the button becomes transparent.
PallyPowerValues.lua for all customization settings.

Or simply change Skin option to None (aka old style as shown on screenshots)

Originally posted by Eolian the screenshot here on WowInterface has the Buff bars being see through, how can i make mine the same? i saw the post about editing the .lua for colors but... i have no idea what to do with that. thats a looooooooot of text and i really dont want to break anything. can you narrow it down for me?

ATTENTION:
I'm looking for more layout ideas. PallyPower b3.2.1 supports custom layouts (see PallyPowerValues.lua). Currently there are two test/example layouts.
Layout How-to:
There are 11 class buttons - array c and for each class button there are 8 player buttons - array p.
Class and special buttons are hooked to the anchor using bottom left corner, coordinate usits are buttonWidth for X and buttonHeight for Y.
Player buttons are hooked to Class buttons.
Originally posted by Androo I'll be using the mod even if it can only be hot pink and 40pt font, but maybe some more customizable layout and style options would be something to think about in the future?
Try the new beta b3.2.0 from curse.com. Options -> Buff Buttons -> Layouts -> Layout 2

Yes, I had some ideas about custom layout, just need some free time to implement them.
Originally posted by Aznamir Set Rows = 1, Columns = 11
Then go to Options - Buff Buttons - Class Buttons -
1, 3, 7, 9
Choose one of these. This option controls how class buttons are hooked to the anchor (same as buttons on the num-pad on the keyboard are aligned to 5).
Alright yeah I see how it's working now that I've used it in a group. The class buttons expand up or downward at first, and then for additional classes they expand horizontally. I'd ideally like the all the buttons (seals / RF, autobuff , class buttons) to expand from left to right.

Originally posted by Androo First I'd like to say I love this addon, I don't think I could live without it.
However, the layout is starting to drive me nuts. What I want to do is make the class buttons expand to the right, instead of up or down, then have the individual player buttons expand down. I can't seem to figure it out.

I tried changing the "rows" setting to 1
and the "columns" setting to 11
with "player buttons" set to bottom.
This seemed to make sense, but the class buttons still expand downwards. I've been reading all the current comments on here, and on some other sites, and can't seem to find a good explanation.
Am I just missing something really obvious?
Or does pally power just not support the horizonal arrangement that I'd like it to?
