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.

Targeted Spells

  • Supports TargetedSpells addon.
  • Also includes built-in Incoming Casts module for tracking casts targeting you (as Buzzard-style cast bars or icons). (Disabled by default - can be enabled in the Incoming Casts section of the options.)

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.***
