Ardy’s Buff Tracker (1.0.0)

Ardy’s Buff Tracker PC
A player selective buff tracker, by @giga’chad

AI disclosure: This add-on’s code was written with the help of an AI assistant (Claude Opus 5.5 by Anthropic). I direct the features, test every release in game, and maintain it.

Required: LibAddonMenu-2.0 (version 43 or newer)

—————–

Track raid buffs on the group members you choose, not by role. Pin your main tank, your off-tank’s healer, or the DPS who needs Powerful Assault, and see at a glance who has what and for how long.

Tracked buffs:
– Major Slayer
– Major Force
– Major Courage
– Major Protection
– Major Berserk
– Minor Courage
– Minor Force
– Minor Berserk
– Minor Protection
– Powerful Assault

(with more to come…)

Turn any of them on or off, or use Enable all buffs to switch everything at once and then pick only the ones you want.

How it looks:
– One row per pinned player, one box per buff, with the buff’s icon in each box
– Green border: buff is up, with seconds remaining shown on the icon
– Yellow border: under 3 seconds left
– Red border and greyed-out icon: buff is missing
– Adjustable size (50% to 200%), with text that scales to match
– Your own row is shown by default (“Show myself” setting)

How to use:
1. Join a group.
2. Open the settings with /pbsettings (or Settings > Addons > Ardy’s Buff Tracker PC).
3. Under Players, tick the group members you want to track.
4. Drag the panel where you want it.

Pins are saved by @UserID name, so the people you pin show up automatically whenever they’re in your group, raid after raid. Settings are saved separately for NA, EU and PTS.

You can also bind “Pin / Unpin Target” under Controls > Keybindings to pin whoever is under your crosshair.

Settings:
– Players: Show myself, plus a checklist of your current group members
– Saved pins: unpin anyone you’ve saved, even if they’re not grouped, or clear all pins
– Buffs to track: Enable all buffs, plus a toggle for each buff
– Panel: size, lock, position, preview
– Debug: track your current target, log buff events to chat, print a status report

Known limitations:
– Buffs are currently matched by their English names, so the tracker works on English game clients.
– The game may not report buffs on group members who are far away, so a red box can mean “out of range” as well as “missing”.
