RaidChecklist

RaidChecklist provides an at-a-glance overview of which core Cataclysm 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.

News

4.1.2beta1

• RaidChecklist now comes with a plethora of different checklists! No longer is it limited to only a raid view and a hunter pet view, but it now 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 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.
• The Hydra hunter pet is now recognized in many locales.

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 (other than being in inspect range).
• Uses the LibGroupTalents library, enabling faster sharing of talent information with other players who also run addons with said library.
• Option to specify in which direction the list appears relative to the button. E.g. "Up, Left" or "Down, Right".

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.

Other locales are not supported at this stage, due to there being no way to obtain non-localized pet family names. Translations most welcome.

Known issues

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).
