The trunk also has significantly improved CC break detection relative to the neb fork which predates that work. Make sure you've fully uninstalled the neb alpha and deleted the SavedVariables/BigBrother.lua before loading the official version.

There have been significant changes in the available buff spells and consumables with MoP, any buff monitor that hasn't been updated will be wrong in many ways. The WowAce/Curse version is undoubtedly the best available.

Posted Nov 8, 2012it still works without any errors or anything... I just remember using that one since it was a whole lot better than original BB back in the days was more curious as to if there's a difference between the neb and this one

The neb alpha clone is over a year out-of-date and not maintained for MoP.

Posted Nov 6, 2012Can we have a setting to report on readychecks in normal mode raids, but ignore LFR?
I want my raid team to be all fed and flasked, but obviously noone really cares if people are using flasks in LFR.

Posted Oct 6, 2012Is there a way to make this addon ignore flasks other than the current Mists of Pandaria ones? Thanks.

Posted Jan 3, 2013Starting in v3.8.0, old consumables will be "dimmed" in the buff window, so you can see at a glance who is "slacking"

Posted Sep 6, 2012Hiho, first of all - thank you for you addon - it helps us a great deal as rbs seems not to be up to date anymore. Nevertheless, I have some issues using it. The check (automatically via the ready check or by hand) for buff food and flasks works nice, but if there are major buffs missing it is not stated in any chatwindow at all.
Have i missed some option in the menu or is this intended? I mean, i see that the buff is missing in the buff monitor, but there is no reminder I used to know from rbs.

Yes, I'm well aware of the available debuffs. I've considered adding some support for debuffs, but have decided it's beyond the scope of what BigBrother should do. It doesn't really help much for a buff monitor to show all the debuffs your raid comp MIGHT cast, unless you're going to force raid members to respec in order to change that list. Even if you did it wouldn't be accurate for any split-dps fights like Heroic Morchok. All of the important debuffs are now applied by the standard rotation, so it's not like you have to yell at raid members to press extra buttons to be the debuff bitch for their raid. Monitoring and somehow displaying the debuffs ACTUALLY cast in combat is far complicated, and situational as well - definitely beyond the scope of a simple buff monitor.
If you're looking for a tool to help you PLAN your raid comp around buffs and debuffs, I highly recommend: http://raidcomp.mmo-champion.com/

Posted Sep 4, 2012Is there a chance that we could see what available debuffs the raid has? I don't expect it to track whether or not they are actually used, but rather just available with the current composition.
All you would have to do is check the spec of the player instead of their auras. For a list of raid debuffs and what class/spec brings them: http://mop.wowhead.com/guide=1100/mists-of-pandaria-buffs-and-debuffs#debuffs-physical-vulnerability
Edit
Could you also add an option to disable announcing to raid chat when in LFR?
