Broker Followers
You need an LDB Display like Bazooka, TitanPanel or hover the MinimapIcon for this addon!
Newest Feature: Reroll Finder
Helps you determine who you should reroll to get a specific combination. Here is an exmple to explain everything
UI
At the top you see two dropdowns, used to set up which combination of counters you are looking for. In this case we want to counter Group Damage and Deadly Mininons
Output
- All your epic followers that already have this combination
In our example we already have one follower with the desired combination: Soulbinder Tuulani - A list of your epic followers that coul* get this combination when you reroll their abilities. Also shown are the abilities they have right now and, in brackets, the %-chance to get the wanted combo
In our example we have 4 possible candidates to be rerolled into Group Damage/Deady Minions. Ja'kala is listed first because this follower has the highest chance (1/6) of getting what we want. Next are Xen, Rizei and Kaz with a considerable lower chance (1/10) - Non-epic followers that counter one ability of the combination and could get the second one when being upgraded to epic. In brackets is the chance of getting the desired second counter.
In our example the non-epic Phylarch the Evergreen, already countering Deadly Minions, has a 33.3% chance of getting the counter for Group Damage as his second ability when upgraded - Non-epic followers that do not have any of the desired counters, but can get both of them when rerolled. Therefor they first need to be upgraded to epic and then rerolled.
Here we have Lokra, who only counter Danger Zones, which is neither of the two things we want. Therefor we would need to upgrade him to epic and then reroll him with a 10% chance to get Group Damage/Deadly Minions
Features:
Tooltip
- Switch between: Showing tooltip when hovering the icon and clicking the item to show/hide the tooltip!
- Standard tooltip: view the combinations of threats your epic followers can counter in a compact matrix.
When clicking one of the number it'll print a list of the followers with those two counters, together with their reroll% (chance of getting a not-yet-covered combination of counters when rerolling them) - Holding shift: A list view, ordered by countered threats. Shows you one follower per line together with their traits. A special 'Reroll' colum is shown, telling you the chance of getting a new combination of countered threats if you used a 'Follower Re-training Certificate' on this follower
UI enhancement
- Enhancements recruitment at the inn/tavern and follower list: When hovering the portrait while recruiting at the inn/tavern or when viewing the follower list a small tooltip will show up listing all the possible counters the follower with its spec can get.
Hovering an epic follower, lists all possible abilites and the chance of getting a new combo on reroll
Hovering a non-epic follower, lists all possible second abilites (green '+': Getting this leads to a new combo. Red number x: You already have x followers with this combo) and the chance of getting a new combo on being upgraded to epic
Toasts
- Toasts: When a follower levels up a quick toast is shown telling you that "<name> is now level X".
When reaching a quality upgrade the toast will also include the newly acquired traits and abilities!
When a ship is destroyed on a shipyard mission.
Toasts can be disabled in the options
Great Addon with great value!
I modified it a litte bit to also show a "treasure row" for easy hiring of new treasure hunters:

@Starfox: the changed parts/lines are marked with comment " -- hier "
I already have that change in the latest beta.. guess I should make a release with it.
LOVE THIS ADDON! (caps intended)
Thanks! :D
What is the meaning of a white 'X' in the shift list?
Hey there.
In the options you have a field 'Mark inactive with', the default value is 'X'. So all followers with this string attached are currently inactive.
I just got a newb question How do i even start this addon? I dont see a shortcut in my UI....
Oh, you might not have a minimap icon.
When a follower upgrades get this error:

hm :(
Edit: Try updating to the current version, you are using 0.8.3 which had some faulty localization.
Amazing add-on, but one hitch...I just installed the newest update today but don't see the General Setings, Reroll Finder, or Profiles option in my display.
Which version of the addon are you using? I had a major fuckup with how changed the localization stuff, should be fixed with 0.8.4!
Hello Star.
I was using 8.3 and installed 8.4. Works fine now. Thanks!
@BNSSNB
Oh, now I get it.. I think the status is localized, so when i do if status = "inactive" it is true in every non-englisch client
Edit: Found the globalstring GARRISON_FOLLOWER_INACTIVE, should now work with every local!
Are there any lua errors? Which version of broker followers are you using?
I found [Matrix view options] following [Count Inactives], even unchecked, will still display inactive follower. The same problem occurs in the [List view options] following [Show Inactive followers]. (Sorry English no good)
@BNSSNB
Oh my god, I never added those files
Localization folder has been only enUS.lua, but I've completely translated zhTW, you can join in next time?
@BNSSNB
Oh thanks for pointing that out
