Buffwatch++
-----------
BuffWatch is a powerful buff manager that lets you easily and clearly keep
track of active and inactive buffs, as well as allowing you to rebuff players
with a single click.
Simply setup the buffs you want to monitor for each player in your party/raid,
and buffwatch will notify you if the buff expires. You can then click the
highlighted buff to automatically recast the buff on that player, if you have
the ability to do so.
This allows you focus more on important tasks such as decursing, healing or
fighting, while still allowing you to rebuff mid fight if needed.
Buffwatch can also be useful for raid leaders to check important buffs are on
certain players before continuing, eg. Blessing of Salvation on your healers.
Please type /buffwatch or /bw in-game for usage details

Buffwatch++ is based on the mod of the same name by Tyrrael, which had stopped
being updated since WoW 1.4
Original version here : http://www.curse-gaming.com/mod.php?addid=678
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
General Usage
-------------
Setting up :
* Cast the buffs you want monitor
* Lock the buffs for the players by checking the box to the left of their
name
* Remove buffs you dont want to monitor by [Ctrl + Right Click]ing them.
(If you only have one buff to monitor on a player, use
[Alt + Right Click] on that buff icon to remove all others)
Once setup :
* Buffs will highlight in red if they expire. Left clicking will recast.
* If a player is dead or goes offline, their buffs will grey out.
* To target a player, left click their name. To assist, right click.
* To hide players for which you are not monitoring any buffs, toggle the
'Showing Unmonitored' icon in the BuffWatch window.
* To hide players for which you do have monitored buffs, but having none
expired, toggle the 'Showing Monitored' icon in the BuffWatch window.
Player will re-appear when one of their buffs expires.
* Buffwatch will automatically cast the group version of a buff if you set
the Buff Threshold setting in options to a value between 1 and 5.
Buffwatch will check how many players are missing the buff (regardless
of whether you are monitoring for it), and cast the group version if the
Threshold setting is less than or equal to this value. (This does not
work however for the Druid's Gift of the Wild, and Mark of the Wild will
always be cast)
* If you have run out of reagents for a group buff, have not yet learnt the
spell(s), or never want BuffWatch to cast them, set the Threshold
setting to 0.
* If you find buffwatch starts to reduce your fps in some boss fights
(eg. Lucifron when he debuffs whole raid), then play with the 'Max
Updates Per Second' setting to improve performance. Setting Max UPS to
to a low value may cause short delays in buffs being updated.
For help and information on other features, type '/bw' or '/buffwatch' in game.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Known Issues
------------
* When buffwatch checks to see if a group buff is in your spellbook (eg
Arcane Brilliance or Greater Blessing of Wisdom), it stores the spell id
to save searching for it on subsequent usage. If you learn new spells
(including new ranks) the spell id's can change, and buffwatch might
start to cast the wrong spell instead of the group buff. If this happens,
you will need to reload your UI or log out and back in again.
* When 'Show Only Castable Buffs' is selected, Buffwatch doesn't show
selfcast only buffs. (eg. Ice Armour. Paladin Auras). This is due to
what the WoW API considers a castable buff. To setup monitoring of these
types of buff (as with any buff that you cannot cast), you must deselect
this option before locking the relevant players.
