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
- enUS - Fully supported.
- ruRU - Fully supported.
- koKR - Fully supported.
- deDE - Functional.
- frFR - Functional.
- esES - Functional.
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).
Thanks for the link, but it's too late - I already wrote my own LibGroupInSpecT!
As a general update to the community:
I underestimated the amount of work required to bring RCL back to full operation, but after a very busy weekend, I feel that I have most things under control again. Aside from one name-related bug, and one performance issue, there's really just a bit more work on the database needed at this point I believe. I expect I'll have a beta out within the next few days - please stay tuned! :)
awesome, can't wait :)
wowhead has the best chart so far
http://www.wowhead.com/guide=1100
please update, this addon was virtually essential!
the problem isnt so much of updating the buff/debuff list, i had that done in minutes. (ignored cc and other stuff because i dont care about those). The problem is the talent api changes. The LibTalentQuery is out of date and needs updating, however that lib is also abandoned i'm afriad. I could get the simple API changes to work, would have to reimplement other stuff, which i couldnt with my limited LOA/wow api experience (read: none)
I might try again this weekend, but i wouldn't hold your breath, lets just hope another addon writer will take it over
is this going to be updated? read the posts but they were old. thanks for add-on, hope it will be udated!
I haven't been playing WoW for a long time now and I've let my subscription lapse. If Malazee or anyone else sends me a delta with all the new abilities/changes I can probably be convinced to sit down and do a proper update (especially if the list includes all the new MoP stuff). I don't have the time to compile that list of stuff myself though (and RaidChecklist wouldn't have existed in the first place was it not for Malazee's awesome spreadsheets!).
Hi there, great addon! Will there be an (toc) update soon?
Thanks in advance, V.
Hi Veloknol,
I don't have an active WoW subscription these days, so I'm relying on Malazee to send through a list of all the changes that have happened in/since 4.3, and I know she's been rather busy. While I could trivially update the .toc number, it would feel wrong to do so before RCL has been updated with the 4.3 stuff.
Regards,
Anyia
Just wanted to say thank you for a great addon!
Decreased Healing is buffed to 25% again (from 10%)
Could mention be made in the FAQ of the "*" next to talented abilities? I ended up reading the source comment to find the [i]"indicates a talent which is accessible regardless of talent spec"[/i] note. Or, failing that, is it documented somewhere else that I'm just missing?
As for Decrased Attack Speed and decreased physical dmg, Arms and Fury spec can apply it easily with loss of dps but they still can do it.
Well, reported ;) French language, it's the Mage's pet.
Fixed in 4.1.2, thanks for pointing it out.
I can't do much about the tooltip if the game decides to show the information for only 1/2 Brutal Impact however. During testing it was always showing the text for 2/2 Brutal Impact, so here's hoping that's consistent.
I may have skipped it but I think the Frost DK's talent "Chillblains" is missing as an AoE slow.
For the future I hope to see raid absorbs like "Powerword: Barrier", "Aura Mastery", "Anti-Magic Zone", etc... beeing added. That would be great and further improve the utility of this addon :)
So what would I categorize the spell under, single or aoe slows? And how do I label the ability? Frost Fever is just a debuff that is applied by Icy Touch, but it can also be applied by Outbreak and it's spread via Pestilence, but the talent itself is called Chilblains.
See? A little confusing. But you're right, Chilblains is infinitely useful and really ought to be included on RCL no matter how convoluted it is. I'll figure out a sensible way to add it.
As far as absorbs go, I'm not entirely sure that's something we want to start getting into for RCL. If we're going to add an "absorbs" category then we might as well add a "heals" category as well... which is stepping past the "useful" line if you ask me. RCL needs to be a quick reference guide for useful buff/debuff and other combat information, and the more we add to it, the more we clutter and hide the important stuff.
