RaidChecklist
RaidChecklist
RaidChecklist provides an at-a-glance overview of which core buffs, debuffs, dispels and crowd control abilities are available in the raid at the moment, and what class/spec/pet could bring each.
It doesn't try to be a full-featured raid planner, but is instead targeted at those who want a more casual add-on which can assist them in putting together a balanced raid on the fly. It is also very useful for hunters wanting to pick a pet to fill a void in the abilities otherwise brought by the group.
RaidChecklist comes with a plethora of different checklists, and has checklists for each and every class, with multiple options on what to include. Check out the configuration screen for the full list!
There's also a built-in F.A.Q. page available from the add-on settings menu, hopefully answering the common questions and explaining the different colors and icons.
News
6.1.2.0
- Spirit Beast entry updated to also provide Crit.
6.0.3.3 - 6.0.3.4
- Minor ability/talent correction.
6.0.3.2
- Corrected a few abilities/talents.
- Now treating the Hunter 'Lone Wolf' talent separately. This talent provides a choice of all the main buffs, but RaidChecklist has no way knowing which buff (if any) has been chosen. To deal with this dilemma, if you're playing a hunter and have 'Lone Wolf' talented, the potential buffs will show in blue ("may provide") rather than green ("provides"). For hunter group members, by default RCL filters out the 'Lone Wolf' talent altogether to avoid claiming that all the buffs are provided. This latter behavior can be changed with the config option 'Exclude Lone Wolf', if you prefer to use the old behavior. The only way to resolve this fully would be to make RaidChecklist scan for buffs, which is far too large a project for me to undertake given I haven't played WoW since early Cataclysm.
6.0.3.1
- Minor database updates.
6.0.0.1
- Warlords of Draenor / 6.0.2 update. This includes a number of changes to handle the internal game changes made by Blizzard, and a metric truck-ton of database updates.
- Some languages do not have full compatibility support yet. If you can help with translations, either do so directly at project localization page, or just drop me a message here on Curse and I'll fill it in.
- If I've missed any changes, please open a ticket to let me know.
- Note: the mage "Improved Flamestrike" perk is recorded in RaidCheclist as being level 100, though it can, depending on RNG, be available as early as level 92. I don't have a good way to address that, sorry.
Features
- Compact display in color-coded list format.
- Shows a count for each ability where it's provided by more than one player, giving even better overview with even a quick glance.
- Mouse-over an entry brings up tooltip with information on what classes/specs/pets can bring the (de)buff.
- Clicking an entry opens a detailed information panel on the abilities for that entry.
- Ability to specify which groups to include in the check, while still seeing what the excluded groups could bring.
- Hides behind a freely movable button when not wanted.
- DataBroker integration, and an option to hide the normal button.
- Keybinding and chat commands (/rcl or /raidchecklist) to toggle the checklist.
- Updates automatically as pets are summoned or dismissed.
- Inspects group members "in the background" to obtain their talent information without needing any player interaction.
- Option to specify in which direction the list appears relative to the button. E.g. "Up, Left" or "Down, Right".
- Since it's not possible to automatically keep talents/spec/glyphs up-to-date sensibly, RaidChecklist has a small "rescan" button in the top right corner of the checklist.
- Notifies other RaidChecklist users of any player specialization/talent/glyph changes. This is done in the LibGroupInSpecT library, which is available for other addons to use as well. While Blizzard provides no way of detecting these changes on other players, any user of an addon with LibGroupInSpecT will have this feature! For other players, there is always the manual "rescan" button.
Class-specific Features
- Per-class check-lists are available, showing only the abilities of that class. Use either for personal improvement, or as the raid leader to remind yourself of what abilities a particular class would bring.
- Hunter & Warlock Pet Mode. For the hunters and warlocks who don't have to worry about full raid composition and only want to make a smart pet choice. Only shows the abilities which can be provided by a pet.
- Also aware of a hunter's callable pets, not just the summoned one. Abilities available only from a callable pet are marked in blue. This is only applicable to the hunter himself/herself - this information is not shared to other users of RaidChecklist. To activate this feature you need to visit a stable master once.
Supported Locales

If you can help with translations, head over to the project localization page.
Known issues
- Talent/spec information can go stale, as the game provides no notification when a group member re/un/talents. Use the "rescan" button to force a refresh.
Found a bug?
If you've found a bug that isn't listed here as a known issue, please open a ticket with the details. The notifications for comments on Curse aren't as reliable as a ticket, so I might not see it for some time (if all).
However I might have some suggestions for you to make categorizing Chillblains more easy. I am playing a DK as my main since wotlk release. The only way you would ever skill and use Chillblains in an raid enviroment is via Glyph of Howling Blast. The glyph applies Frost Fever to every target being hit by Howling Blast. That glyph is currently a must have for every Frost DK for maximizing DPS, no matter if he decides to skill Chillblains or not.
It's kind of comparable to a Marksman Hunters talent Concussive Barrage except for the fact, that a hunter wouldn't need a glyph which a Forst DK would (should) anyways have.
Maybe you could add an extra warning tag to the AoE Slow/Snare category if the debuff is being added by a Frost DK with an info flag that the player should have glyphed Howling Blast for maximizing the debuffs effectiveness.
I suppose I'm a little bit confused as to what the problem is. Both Silence and Arcane Torrent have long cooldowns, so I don't understand why you wouldn't be able to use Arcane Torrent for anything that a raid leader wanted you to use Silence on.
RaidChecklist doesn't as much as look at those party frames, much less change their visibility. Having said that, most of the UI handling in RCL was rewritten for 4.1.2beta1, so you might want to give that a spin just to see if the problem still persists. I maintain that the problem shouldn't even be possible to exist in the first place though!
We might change our minds in the future, but for now there are no plans to add such a feature (sorry).

For those timid to click my link, RaidChecklist reports, "RaidChecklist: missing family 'Hydra', please report this so it can be fixed!
Prior to the latest release, it used to report this three times.
Yes, I have a pet that is currently not possible to be tamed. Prior to wow-4.1 it used to be considered a crocolisk.
BTW, I love the addon and it helps me as a hunter class leader make sure we are providing (or backup providing) all the raid buffs.
Figured I'd post it to help, to find it yourself at the about raid checklist section of this page click changes. Under "tagged as 4.1.1 Now with less Hydra spam."
Make sure you are using the latest version of Raid Checklist and if the error is still occurring, please submit a bug report over at wowace (http://www.wowace.com/addons/raid_checklist/create-ticket/).
