== AnnoyingBuffReminder 2.14 ==
by Wikwocket (wikwocket@gmail.com)
This AddOn displays an annoying reminder to use class buffs, armor spells, shouts, aspects, blessings, and Victory Rush.
Specifically, it will display an annoying popup on your screen (you can drag it with the mouse) if you do not have an appropriate spell up:
* Death Knight: Any presence, Horn of Winter, Bone Shield
* Druid: Mark/Gift of the Wild, Thorns, Omen of Clarity
* Hunter: Any Aspect, Trueshot Aura
* Mage: Any Armor spell, Arcane Intellect/Brilliance, Amplify/Dampen Magic
* Paladin: Any aura (Crusader while mounted), any blessing, any seal, Righteous Fury, Sacred Shield
* Priest: Inner Fire, Power Word/Prayer of Fortitude, Divine/Prayer of Spirit, Shadow Protection
* Rogue: Hunger for Blood
* Shaman: Any Shield spell, and weapon enchants
* Warlock: Any Skin/Armor spell, Soul Link, Demonic Sacrifice, Detect Invisibility
* Warrior: Battle Shout or Commanding Shout, Victory Rush
This AddOn will work with the English, French, German, and Spanish versions of WoW.
There are several options:
* /abr pvp/bg to remind while in a battleground/arena.
* /abr icons to toggle display of spell icons.
* /abr lock|unlock to toggle window locking and click-through.
* /abr center to reset window position to center of screen.
* /abr <spell> to toggle reminders for the following optional spells:
** battle|battleshout|bs - Battle Shout
** command|commandingshout|cs - Commanding Shout
** anyshout|shout - Any Shout
** vr|victory|rush - Victory Rush (after each kill; on by default)
** amp|amplify - Amplify Magic
** damp|dampen - Dampen Magic
** thorns - Thorns
** omen|clarity|ooc - Omen of Clarity
** soul|link|soullink - Soul Link
** detect|invis - Detect Invisibility
** demon|sacrifice - Demonic Sacrifice
** spellstone|firestone|stone - Spellstone or Firestone weapon buff
** tsa|trueshot - Trueshot Aura
** crusader|ca - Crusader Aura (when mounted)
** fury|righteous|righteousfury|rf - Righteous Fury
** s|seal - Any Seal spell
** sacred|sacredshield - Sacred Shield
** shield|shieldspell - Shaman shield spells (on by default)
** divine|spirit - Divine Spirit
** shadow|shadowprot - Shadow Protection
** hungerforblood|hunger|hfb - Hunger for Blood
** bone|shield|boneshield - Bone Shield
** horn|winter|how - Horn of Winter
** unholy|blight|unholyblight|ub - Unholy Blight
All settings are saved across sessions, except for Warrior shout preference, since using this depends on whether you have two warriors in your party.
It will only annoy you if you have more than 50% mana or 10 rage, are not mounted, not flying, not in a capital city, and not mind controlled. It will also not bug you if you are less than level 15. It won't remind you in battlegrounds/arenas unless you tell it to. For some short-term buffs, and buffs that require rage/energy/runes to keep up, the reminder will only show up when in combat.
The popup should appear in the situations when you would want the buff up. No configuration is necessary, unless you want to also enable reminders for optional spells.
I hope you find this mod useful. Feedback and suggestions are always welcome!

Optional Files - AnnoyingBuffReminder
Sorry, there are currently no optional files available.
I notice ABR supports weapon buffs for Shamans - any chance of introducing a Poison reminder for Rogues? I frequently log in, go off a'killing, and realize after like 10 minutes I never applied Poisons.
It works now, im 32, but one thing I have enabled "seal" and Aura but if i pull them off (and im out of in the wilderness in ashenvale) and itwill remind of my of righteous fury, auras, and blesssings.
But not seals all the time, sometimes my seal works, right now its not and yeah its turned on witht he /abr seal thing. (Not mounted either)
Let me know

Abacinate: ABR will not trigger for characters less than level 15. It's in the addon description. This is so that it doesn't pop up for bank alts etc. If you really want it to work on a level 10, you can edit the "15" in the .lua file.
Zidomo: While I consider it a success if the popup is indeed "annoying," I do see what you mean. I have a few ideas about how to tweak the icons a bit.
Hi there, two paladins on one account, one is 54 and one is like 10.
Yet for some reason no matter what I do, disable other mods its the same profiles, ABR will not show anything on the level 10 one but it works fine on the level 54 one.
I tried playing with the different spells on / off and of course not being in town etc.
The spell icon(s) are a nice addition. But two of them--one on either side of the AnnoyingBuffReminder (ABR frame)--is too much. It makes the already large ABR frame just a bit too large & annoying .
Could one of those icons be removed and, say, move the remaining icon to the top-center of the frame? Or else if you prefer to have them on the sides of the frame, still have just one icon but have a user-selectable side to put it on?
Originally posted by Zidomo This needs updating for WoW 3.2. It currently contains the spell ID of 30482 for Molten Armor (Mage). This was correct in WoW 3.1; all ranks of the ability used that same spellID. But in 3.2, its been changed so that each rank of the ability has its own spellID.
Actually, although the mod's files refer to spell ID 30482, it just does this to get the (localized) name for the spell "Molten Armor." It then uses the text name to look for matching buffs. So as long as all ranks of Molten Armor share the same text name, there shouldn't be a problem.
Of course if you are seeing the mod fail to warn for some ranks of Molten Armor (and can repeat this outside of a city with >50% mana) please let me know.

SpellID 30482 now just covers rank 1 of Molten Armor. So v2.13 of AnnoyingBuffReminder will fail to remind for higher ranks that are cast. Rank 2 is now 43045 while rank 3 is now 43046.
Is it possible for the addon not to warn us in a situation like: I'm a mage and the ABR tells me to cast Arcane Intellect, but I can't since a warlock's fel intellegence is up.
The same applies for my warrior's battle shout when a DK is on the raid and casts his attack power buff (don't remember the name).
That's a great idea for a way to automate some of the options; unfortunately I don't have time to add a talent scanner to ABR.
In the meantime you can always use the slash commands. If you use a mod like ItemRack or another mod that lets you run macros when you swap specs, you could tell it to run the line "/abr righteousfury" whenever you swap specs.

Originally posted by NarusegawaNaru I have just installed this, as my priest. And I have no buffs up.... I see no annoying buff reminder at all whatsoever.
If you are less than level 15, or in a city/inn where you are resting, or mounted, or on a flight path, you will not see reminders. If you are not doing any of these things and you still see no reminders, double-check that the mod is enabled.
I really enjoy this addon, however I would really like to be able to turn off the victory rush reminder if possible. Thank you for your work on this project!
