IdiotCheck
Have you ever charged into a boss fight, only to discover you're an idiot and forgot something crucial?
This mod checks your character and gear before boss pulls to make sure nothing is wrong, and yells at you in various humorous ways if you're being an idiot. It goes into considerable depth and checks many things not checked by traditional raid-buffing addons.
You might be an idiot if you've ever gone into a boss fight...
- With a broken weapon
- Wearing a fishing pole, chef's hat, or teleport item
- With a dead pet
- Without an enchant or gem on that new item
- Missing talent points or glyphs
- Wearing items for the wrong spec
- With glyphs for the wrong spec
- With a flask for the wrong spec
- Without your class self-buffs
- Much, much more...
All checks can be individually enabled/disabled and configured. By default it checks your gear when you first target a boss or receive a ready check. The addon itself is very lightweight and fast, and never runs during combat.
IdiotCheck can also automatically scan inspection targets and group members for most failures. Note that checking via inspection/scanning is slightly less thorough than self-checks, due to limitations in the Blizzard inspection API. This feature is provided as a convenience, but for the most accurate results all raiders should install the addon (which also helps ensure costly failures are discovered outside of raid time!).
Installation and Usage:
- Install as usual
- Left-click the icon to run a self-check manually
- Middle-click the icon to scan your current group members within inspection range
- Right-click the icon on the minimap or LDB for settings (defaults are good for most purposes)
- Command-line options are also available via: /ic

Warning about content:
This addon is essentially a drill instructor for your raid play. It works by yelling at you when you screw up, so that other players don't have to. This addon includes occasional use of strong language, which is not intended for children or other people who are easily offended. Do not submit complaints, we're not going to change it for you. If you are easily offended do not download this addon. Better yet, quit wow and go play Hello Kitty Island Adventure.

Posted Feb 25, 2017Guess it's time to cross this off my addon list. Shame. It was handy when it worked. Thanks for the time I did have with it.

Posted Aug 26, 2016This addon could use an update. It hasn't worked for me since before the prepatch for Legion. I click it and it does nothing. I go into Interface>Addons and it doesn't even appear in the list anymore.
I love this addon... I just want it to work again :[

Posted Nov 10, 2015Not sure if this is in there as I could not find it but any chance if it is not to add a fail check for Grimoire of Sacrifice for warlocks? I am an idiot and always forget to sac a pet and buff myself.

Posted Feb 27, 2015The old 100 food buff is still showing as well fed instead of the 125 food buff.

Posted Feb 28, 2015working as intended - 100 food is still well fed, and may be a reasonable choice for some fights (eg trivial content). This addon detects and warns about things that are always wrong and idiotic, not things that are slightly suboptimal.

Posted Feb 4, 2015Thank you for the update!
I found a missing feature or maybe a bug in detection, I'm talking about gem stats for current spec, in particular about stamina gem for non-tanking spec/class.
Ty!

Posted Feb 4, 2015Stamina is not currently detected as a "bad stat", since it's at least marginally helpful to everyone (although admittedly a non-optimal gemming choice for non-tanks). I might eventually add additional checks for that.
