- About PallyPower
Pally Power is an add-on that provides an interactive and easy to use interface that allows you to control assignments of blessings for yourself and, if you are a party leader or an assistant, for other paladins in your group or raid. Pally Power supports six blessings: Blessing of Might, Wisdom, Salvation, Light, Kings and Sanctuary. You don't need to be a paladin to control raid/party blessings.
Normally PallyPower displays a cast window that shows you how many people require blessings and timers for remaining time of your blessings. The cast window displays one button per each class you were assigned to buff, including hunter and warlock pets as a separate 'pet' class. Each class button displays an icon with an assigned greater blessing, a class icon, a remaining buff timer and a number of unbuffed and/or dead players. Each class button allows you to cast both greater (left mouse click) and lesser blessings (right mouse click).
Left mouse click provides an automatic buff and target selection: Pally Power checks the party or the raid roster to find a nearby person of a specific class, verifies that the person is in range and casts the blessing. After each cast the name of the person and the buff is stored until the next cast to allow re-cast of the same buff in combat.
Right mouse click works the same way as left mouse click, but in addition the automatic target selection ensures that the target is not buffed already. This is useful when you want to temporary rebuff only one to two persons until the greater blessing expires on all class members or buff custom assigned normal blessings. Typically a mid-cycle rebuff on trash pulls. You'll need to do a right click once for each person you want to rebuff.
Class buttons change color depending on the buff situation. They are transparent if every class member is buffed, blue if only custom assigned blessings are missing (and you should right mouse click to cast them), red if all class members require a buff and yellow if there is at least one unbuffed person.
In combat the automated target selection turns off and class buttons become grayed-out to indicate that they are not reliable and use previously stored target and buff name. If someone reassigns your blessings while you're in combat, the assignments will not apply until you leave the combat. An automated buff and target selection does not work in combat due to protected interface functionality implemented in WoW Patch 2.0.
In order to bypass the protected interface limitation Pally Power 2.0 introduced new player buttons that do not use any automated functionality, but allow you to select specific target for a blessing.
Pally Power displays player buttons when you move your mouse cursor over or nearby a class button. Player buttons are displayed for each class member and show the player name, a buff icon if the player if buffed, range flag, dead/alive flag and a timer for the remaining time of the buff. Each player button allows you to cast both greater and lesser blessings (same as class button), but you have to make the decision. Flags on player buttons are updated every other second and are pretty reliable.
Right after installation, Pally Power by default displays a red anchor button in the middle of the screen. You can click on the button to make it movable or to access the assignments window (see the tool tip). Alternatively you can type "/pp config" to access the assignments screen.
The assignments screen displays a grid with paladin names and classes with players listed below. For each paladin it displays an icon for each available blessing, a rank of the blessing and a number of talent points spent to improve the blessing. It also shows the number of Symbols of Kings that are in paladins inventory.
By default the grid with assignments is empty. You can use left mouse click or mouse wheel to cycle thru available blessings (wisdom->might->salvation->light->kings->sanctuary->nothing->wisdom). Right mouse click clears an assignment. This method does not allow you to assign blessings assigned to other paladins and this method uses 'smart buffs' option that prevents you from assigning blessings that do not make any sense (wisdom on rogues, might on casters, etc.). This method is useful when you want to fine-tune assignments.
There's a method to assign same blessing to all classes. Press Shift key and use a mouse wheel to scroll thru available blessings. This option ignores buffs assigned to other paladins and 'smart buffs'. It is possible to assign duplicate buffs and pointless buffs using this method, so beware.
Custom normal blessings for single players can be set by clicking the name of the player or dragging the player to another class icon to assign custom normal blessings like the target class have greater blessings assigned. As an examble you could drag dps warrior to the class icon of rogues to have assign their blessings to that dps warrior. Custom blessings can be unassigned by right clicking the player name.
The Clear button on assignment screen clears all assignments if you're a raid leader or an assistant or clears only your own blessings otherwise.
The Refresh button sends every paladin in your raid/party a command to report their available blessings, number of symbols of kings and assignments. By default Pally Power broadcasts your own information once you join the raid and broadcasts the number of Symbols of Kings in your inventory every minute.
The Option buttons opens up an options menu that allows you to configure PP layout, scale, direction and alignment of class and player buttons, etc.
What Pally Power does not and will not do: limited blessings like Blessing of Sacrifice, Freedom and Protection, seals and judgements. What Pally Power will do: make your paladin leader's job easier and make your blessings manageable.

forty2j saidI posted this on WoWInterface - but not sure if you still look there.
Glad to see this is being updated for WotLK. I have a feature request: add seals in, next to RF. With seals going to 2 minutes and gobs of mana, it's pretty much going to be a buff for every fight or two.

KneazlesKeeper saidI just did not like this add-on, as it took up too much screen space. So after trying it for a bit I tried to delete from my CurseClient, But it would not let me let me remove it. I thought “Oh well no big deal” However a little latter when I ran my daily spyware sweep, there was a new major piece of spyware in my program files that wasn’t there before. Now I know that when I receive "free" programs the I must accept spyware as part of the deal as long as I use it. However if you decide not to use that program, I feel it becomes bit malicious when it will not let you remove it. So I felt I had do everything I could to remove it and I was forced to remove and reload CurseClient, to do so. This caused me lose 4 months of Gather Data, which in turn took me a day and one half to recover.
If you are going to try this Add-on, I suggest you by-pass CurseClient and Down load it directly into your WoW Add-on program file. It is a lot easier to remove that way and you will be speared the hassle of removing, reloading and recovery of your CurseClient data.

Ryhan saidNo idea whats wrong....I can't get Pally Power to do the greater blessings. It will only do the 10 minute buffs. What do I do?

Sepelrastas saidI have the same problem, when I click the keybind I have on "auto buff greater blessing", nothing happens, or it casts the normal blessing. The normal blessing keybind works fine. I mostly use only greater blessings, so it'd be really great to know what's wrong.
I have tried quite a lot of keybinds and clicked the screens for an hour or so, and not a single greater blessing. This seems like an idea that might even work for me if it wasn't for this problem.

Clarx saidHi Aznamir,
I got the problem that the position of the Assignments window does'nt get saved;
so that at times it opens up out of my screen, or with just a tiny edge of it beeing visible.
I already deleted any related file in the WTF and Interface folder/subfolders and re-installed it from scratch, without success.
The Buff window position gets saved though.
Further suggestion:
As I only run a 1024 x 768 resolution, the Assignement window can get quite large at times (even when beeing scaled down, as I got it) with many Paladins in a raid.
Maybe you would be able to narrow the colums a bit more on your next major upgrade, as there is a lot of blank and unused space within them ?

gnightime saidIf you are getting alot of nil value messages, clear any old Omen savedvariable files out of your WTF folder.
Interface\Addons\Pallypower\pallypower.lua:831:attempt to perform arithmetic on local 'button width' (a nil value)
Clearing WTF of old Omen files cleared this right up.

daxx9992004 saidi love the addon and have used it for quite some time. The only thing that bothers me is example: someone dies in the raid, a druid battle rezes and they call for patch buffs. Patch buffs to me is greater blessings. They're cheap and easier but regardless whether they are greater or not pallypower won't let you click the button until the current fight is over which really sux during boss fights. This means I still have to have my assigned buffs on hot keys which is half the reason i use the mod. I know you've stated below that the game doesn't let you "change" attributes during a battle, but you're not changing anything when you're buffing someone. You can buff in game by default in battle, so why can't this be fixed? and as for screenshot, there is no screenshot that would reveal any error or problem. It is just not a function.

Aznamir saidThat's how Pally Power works.
There are 80 player buttons with fixed attributes (player name, greater blessing name, lesser blessing name) which do not change as long as the player stays in the raid. These buttons can be used in combat.
There are 10 class buttons which do not have any attribute assigned by default. The attributes are assigned automatically whenever you click the class button and they stay assigned until you click the button again. The automation function finds a nearby person or particular class and assigns their name and their buff to the class button. In combat the assignment never happens since it is forbidden by blizzard, so class buttons use last assigned attributes.
You can use both kinds of buttons in combat, the only limitation - the class buttons will not work if the assigned person is out of range or if the raid leader had the assignment changed. Player buttons are 100% reliable.

Aznamir saidEach UI button has PreClick event. It triggers before the game actually responds to your click. PallyPower uses this event to update button's attributes.
