Buff strangers in the open world without targeting anyone.

Buff icons over the nameplates of players in a town, showing who still needs a buff

Hover a player and press your key. The addon casts the buff they're missing, at a rank their level can take. An icon over each friendly player's nameplate shows who still needs one of your buffs.

Features

Hover and press

  • One key per buff, plus a Next missing buff key that casts whatever the player under the mouse is missing
  • Works on players in the world, on nameplates and on unit frames
  • Picks the rank for the player's level: a level 20 gets Arcane Intellect rank 3, not a rank they're too low to take
  • Any key works, with Alt, Ctrl or Shift, as do mouse buttons 3 to 5 and the mouse wheel

Who still needs a buff

  • An icon over the nameplate for each buff you can still give, and a "Needs:" line on the player's tooltip
  • Someone else's equal or stronger buff counts as covered. A weaker rank still counts as missing
  • PvP-flagged players are skipped while you aren't flagged, so you don't get flagged by accident
  • Optional: no icons in capital cities, where crowds would fill your screen with them

Paladins

  • Up to four blessings per class, in order. You give the first one no other Paladin has given yet, so several Paladins running the addon fill them in turn
  • A Salvation switch per class, for players in your party or raid

Buffs

  • Mage: Arcane Intellect
  • Priest: Power Word: Fortitude, Divine Spirit, Shadow Protection
  • Druid: Mark of the Wild, Thorns
  • Paladin: Blessing of Might, Wisdom, Kings, Salvation and Light

Screenshots

Getting started

  1. Click the minimap button or type /lmby to open the settings.
  2. Click a key box, then press the key you want.
  3. Turn on friendly nameplates (Shift+V) to see the icons.
  4. Optional: tick Click icons to cast to buff people by clicking their icons.

Good to know

  • Addons can't check buffs during combat, so in combat each key casts its buff's highest rank on the player under the mouse.
  • Typing /lmby debug makes the addon print what it's doing in chat. Paste those lines into a bug report.

WoW: Forever is in beta, and so is this addon. Found a problem? Leave a comment on CurseForge with the /lmby debug lines.

What's new in 0.5.0

  • Hide icons in capital cities (setting, off by default): no nameplate icons in Stormwind, Ironforge, Darnassus, Orgrimmar, Thunder Bluff and Undercity, where crowds would fill your screen with them. Your hotkeys and the "Needs:" tooltip line still work there.
0.4.0
  • Paladins: Salvation now goes on beside your other blessing, as Forever allows, so it's no longer one of a class's picks. Each class has a Salvation switch at the end of its row instead, on by default for classes that don't tank. Your own Salvation no longer stops you giving another blessing, and with your own blessing up a player can still show a Salvation icon. The blessing order now has four slots. Your saved order carries over: a class whose order had Salvation gets the switch on.
  • Salvation is for your group only, as on Forever: players outside your party or raid get no Salvation icon, and the Salvation key tells you they aren't in your group.
  • Simplified and Traditional Chinese: the settings window, messages, tooltips and the addon list follow your game client's language.
0.3.0
  • Icon glow: the nameplate icon of the player you're hovering glows, so you can see who your key will buff.
  • Hover an icon to buff: hover a buff icon over a nameplate and press your key. Next missing buff gives that player that icon's buff. Clicks on an icon still go through to the world. Out of combat only.
  • Click icons to cast (setting, off by default): a hovered nameplate icon grows, and a left click gives that player that buff. Out of combat only.
  • Unless the player under an icon is your target, your focus or in your group, a click or key press on their icon targets them for the cast and then puts your old target back. The game doesn't let addons cast on a player through their nameplate.
  • /lmby debug prints what the addon is doing in chat, for bug reports.
