I can confirm this, "Buffs" can be translated "Mejoras" or "Beneficios", we consider this as synonyms.
Greetings!

Posted Sep 1, 2012Any plans to update this for 5.x? I've updated my local copy with all the group API/event changes, but no clue how you guys feel about other people checking in changes. I assume more updates are needed, but I mainly use the mod for watching interrupts and checking on food/flasks.

Posted Dec 12, 2011The latest release (3.6.5) with libs has caused a few issues with other addons - specifically PerformanceFu and OutfitterFu. Installing the nolib version seems to fix the problems, but then BigBrother doesn't work.

Posted Jan 8, 2012BigBrother is shipping embedded with a custom version of Ace2 that has been patched to work under 4.3. I'd highly discourage disembedding since the "stock" Ace2 library is pretty broken under 4.3

Posted Jan 12, 2012So what would you recommend for those of us using PerformanceFu and OutfitterFu? Are we SOL? For now I've just kept my older version of BigBrother, and everything seems to work fine.

Posted Jan 12, 2012I would recommend complaining to the managers of Ace2 who have chosen to freeze the library at a version which is very broken under 4.3, rather than allowing devs to contribute maintenance updates to keep it working for the large base of addons that still use Ace2. The only reason BigBrother uses the luckyjack branched version of Ace2 is because we've been prohibited from fixing the Ace2 trunk.
Alternatively, you could encourage the authors of PerformanceFu and OutfitterFu to upgrade to a supported version of Ace - either Ace3 or the the luckyjack version of Ace2.

Posted Nov 16, 2011for some reason this addon doesn't like Minimap Button Bag. the button goes away before i can click anything in it. Therefore, I can't announce to raid what flasks/buffs etc, are missing. Everything else with mbb works ok, not sure what the issue is.
Just a heads up ;)

Posted Nov 2, 2011Any chance of making the "announces missing flasks, elixirs, foodbuffs" into a full fledged "announces every buff missing"?

Posted Nov 2, 2011BigBrother focuses on displaying buffs currently on the raid, and doesn't analyze raid composition and specs to automate determination of what buffs might be missing. If you're looking for that functionality I would recommend RaidBuffStatus - I use both addons together and they complement each other nicely.

Posted Oct 14, 2011@Valdesca In all cases translators should try to follow the translations in the base game, so for taunt: http://es.wowhead.com/spell=355 and based on wowhead it appears buff should be Mejora

In Spanish Servers we use to know what Buff means. Its correct Beneficios, also all know what is buff.

Posted Sep 11, 2011The CC break reporting is more accurate and reliable than any other addon I've tried, and the taunt/interrupt/misdirect reporting is great for group management.

Posted Sep 6, 2011I will add Roar of Courage, but that is only auto-cast in combat, so it won't appear in pre-combat checks unless the hunter forces his pet to cast it.
