Buzzard Frames are intended to look very similar to Blizzard's default frames:

  • Default settings mirror Blizzard-frames as much as possible.
  • Uses standard Blizzard textures for health & power bars, shields, heal absorbs, dispellable debuffs and temporary max health reduction.
  • Also includes full customization options for anyone who wants something totally different.
  • Uses secure headers.

Includes several features that the standard Blizzard raid frames are missing:

  • Custom healer buff configurations with predefined non-secret spell lists.
  • Buff-triggered health color changes and overlays, overabsorb display and hiding raidbuffs out of combat.
  • Overabsorb display.
  • Auto-layout switching by instance size, role or spec.
  • Comprehensive Preview and Setup Mode for configuration.

Special features aimed at Augmentation Evoker:

  • Sense Power tracking with custom border, health color change, overlay etc.
  • Custom Frame Groups module with filters by Role, Class, Group and Name List Filter mode with mouseover keybind option for unit assignment.

Click Casting Support

  • Supports Blizzard click-casting and Clique addon.

FrameSort

  • Supports FrameSort addon for increased flexibility in group sorting.

Unit Frames

  • Buzzard Frames includes a Unit Frames module with simple Player, Target, Focus, Pet, Boss frames that match the style of the raidframes.
  • Includes detachable power, alt power and resource bars.
  • Includes Unit Frame Layouts feature which allows the unit frames and player power/resource bars to be positioned differently depending on the current role, spec or group type.
  • Disabled by default - can be enabled in the Unit Frames section of the options.
  • Uses the oUF framework.

 

**The backend code of Buzzard Frames is largely based on the open-source Grid2. Not affiliated with the developer in any way, but very much appreciate the open licensing of their framework which made Buzzard Frames possible. AI is used in the development of this addon.**
