Blessings is now compatible with the WoW 2.1 client, and should have all its previous features, except it will not work at all while you are in combat. You also cannot target players by clicking on their name in the player list.
One of the important tasks for a Paladin in a group or raid is keeping all our short-duration blessings refreshed on everyone, while matching the right blessing for each player. And all this while trying to actually kill things, keep the bad guys off the squishy types, cleanse, heal, and generally try to have fun! Blessings is an Addon that helps you easily manage your blessing assignments for each player or class, and simplifies casting your blessings once you have them all set up.
Note that Blessings only works for Paladins, and won't even appear if you aren't playing a Paladin (so it is safe to have loaded all the time if you play other classes, although it is recommended to enable it in your addons list only for your paladin).
Blessings doesn't do all the work for you - you still need to remember when to re-bless everyone (although Blessings can give you reminders), and you will still need to hit the Blessing key (or button) once for each blessing you need to cast - but it does take the drudgery out of remembering what to cast on whom, and finding and selecting the correct spell and target!
Some of the features of Blessings are:
/bless help shows this help.Miscellaneous
/bless show brings up the Blessings window.
/bless options brings up the Blessings options window.
/bless on re-enables Blessings if you turned it off.
/bless off disables Blessings if you don't want it on (although you shouldn't need to do that).
/bless minimum sets the minimum time remaining (in seconds) when checking for existing blessings.
/bless warning sets the warning time (in seconds) for fading blessings.
/bless reset resets the cast sequence (and time remaining on blessings), same as pressing the Reset button.
/bless status shows the status of Blessings.

I know its a bit annoying because you feel like you are recasting your blessings every 5 minutes, but actually you are only recasting the needed blessings every time, so it doesn't cost you mana, etc., unless a new blessing cast is really needed. (Oh, this assumes you aren't pressing the Reset button each time ) Maybe one day Blizzard will make all blessings 15 minutes long, and the greater ones will just be for casting on all members of a class... -- Cirk

(Blessings will only cast greater blessings on the basis of the class selections, not by looking at which players have been assigned what type of blessing. The reason for this is a little complicated, but is basically because otherwise it is very hard to avoid overwriting another paladin's buffs accidentally when you are in large raids). Oh, and do make sure you have enough Symbols of Kings on you I'll tweak Blessings a little in a future version so that Allow automatic recast will check for any player (of the class) needing their blessing to be updated, rather than checking for two or more players. If you want to change that behavior yourself in the meantime, look for line 43 in Blessings.lua and change the value of BLESSING_GREATER_MINIMUM_RECAST from 2 to 1. Hope that helps some! -- Cirk

Either I'm not setting this addon up correctly or there's a bug but I have not been able to cast a full 10 man raid with 15 min buffs even with the setting set the way the directions state. Sometimes I'll get a couple of members with 15 but the rest will be at 5 min. Then sometimes everyone will get only 5 min buffs with the same settings. I like what the addon is suppose to do but can't seem to get it to work.

Some replies to your questions
Code:
#showtooltip /stopmacro [exists, nohelp] /stopmacro [exists, nodead] /cast Redemption /stopmacro [noexists] /say Bringing >>> %t <<< back to life
As for (3), I've had quite a few issues with Sea and other addons in the past, its not an addon library I'd recommend. Its probably caused by Sea implicitly assuming that minimap buttons are not "protected" action buttons, and hooking their OnClick actions. Cheers -- Cirk

I'm getting a couple of annoying things happening with the addon:
1) When casting a blessing sequence and I'm interrupted by either entering combat or a member moving too far away, the sequence stops (obviously). However, when I attempt to continue it later, it gets stuck on one person (I think the one that moved out of range, but not sure), casting the blessing for them repeatedly, with no end. 2) I also would like an easier method of determining the use of greater blessings. Reagents are cheap now, so I often use greaters instead of normals. 3) For some reason, attempting to use the minimap button causes the addon pack "Sea" to attempt to preform an illegal action, brining up the Ignore/Disable dialog for Sea. This comes as part of the Cosmos UI pack. I don't know which end is causing a problem, but I wanted to bring it to your attention. The problem can be bypassed by used a hotkey to apply blessings. This was by far the best addon pre-BC, and I would absolutely love to see it back in all it's glory. Until then, thanks for the port to 2.0, it's still really useful! |

I really like this addon.
I want a resurrection message, it's when u start resurrect dead body message can be send in any channels like Say, Party, Raid. I also recommend to make message changeable. So that way people can see who resurrects who. Thanks, ExoriaX |

I also have the same problem casting greater blessings when solo: I have enabled "Use greater blessings" and disabled "Allow Automatic recast", "Only in raids" and "Only if 2 or more targets".
Yet when I hit the "cast" button, I only get the hobo 5 minute buff on myself when solo. IMHO it would be great to explicitly add the greater blessings to the list of potential blessings given to each class that way I could have some classes with 15m buffs and some with 5m buffs and get around this problem whereby I can't cast greater buffs on myself. (I've also had problems in a party in the past whereby Blessings would cast 15m buffs then stop doing this and cast 5m buffs) Great mod, and great to see you back again! Arc. 2007-05-28 Sadly I've moved on to PallyPower. PP is great in raids and once you are > 60. Otherwise stick with Blessings - really hope the greater blessings casting can be fixed, this was a really good mod.

I seem to be having an issue with Blessings (although I love the mod). When in a 5 man group and the option is set to use Greater Blessings it will cast the Greater Blessings fine but after a while (normally half way through an instance) it will try to cast the 5 minute blessing instead. The only way I have found to fix this is hit the Reset button and then cast again.

Glad to know you've updated your wonderful Blessings addon. Been of great use to me for a long time. In the meanwhile, I have switched to PallyPower, which besides a not-so-cool name came in handy. I especially like 2 parts of it:
- being able to assign blessings to your raid members, and being able to see what improved talents they have, how many symbols left... - the buttons to bless each class, which clearly show the remaining time since your last cast (basic but works) and highlights a class when a member is missing a buff. This one is really useful. Casting in combat is possible, but then the buff buttons show every member separately, and lets you cast on a single member, which is the same since it's using a greater blessing. This behaviour mixed with your greater/standard blessings detection would be great. I hope you can integrate some ideas from PallyPower one day, because I really like your addon ! Keep up the great work please

Just to let you know that I haven't forgotten about Blessings (my guildies wouldn't let me anyway ). However the extent of the changes in the WoW 2.0 client means that it will likely be a very different beast to use, and it will take a lot of coding changes to make it work at all, so it may take a while.
