Segment 22: RaidBuffStatus
Are you a raider? Are you a raid leader? Either way, you need to know the status of buffs on yourself and, if you are the leader, of the entire raid. Proper buffs can make a marginal raid successful, while missing buffs can make your raid fail.
RaidBuffStatus is an add-on to check, show and report on the complete buff status (including flasks etc) of a party or raid. It shows the information on a dashboard much like XRS. It can report via whispers and to raid …
SkillScore is a lightweight addon that will let you quickly check a player’s experience in specific raids.
SkillScore is a much more useful indicator of a player’s experience than GearScore, because it doesn’t depend on the luck of the Need or Greed roll. SkillScore will tell you how many times the player has completed ICC 10 and ICC 25, for example.

LoreDucation with Evinrue
Evinrue discusses the first couple volumes of the World of Warcraft comic book.

There’s a solution for you (can I say “There’s an add-on for that?”) – as well as for hunter and druid tracking, and fish …
Some time before Patch 2.0.3, way back in the beginning of 2007, Blizzard incorporated the basic concepts of the add-on Scrolling Combat Text into “vanilla WoW.” Newer players probably have no idea that there was a time when you needed the SCT add-on to see combat hits scrolling up from the center of the screen.
While the now-built-in floating combat text is a big improvement, it could be even better. That’s where Parrot comes in.
Parrot allows you to adjust the start and end points of your scrolling combat text, …
Have you spent hours flying aimlessly around Storm Peaks, trying to find the Time-Lost Protodrake? Wasted days in Sholozar Basin, looking for Loque’nahak? This week’s add-on detects rare mobs for you, alerting you when you get within detection range.
