About this addon

What it does

 

SmartBuff - Retail, Classic ERA, CATA, MOP and SoM

  

Whats this addon do? 

SmartBuff is a buff addon, to cast buffs easily and quickly, all classes are supported.  Bind a key, scrollwheel or use the action button and it checks if you, a party/raid member or a hunter and warlock pet needs your buff and casts it.  If you are still unsure I have created a video demonstration here.

Use the options menu to configure it you like, as example: buffs, raid subgroups, pets, etc.  -  run the mod whenever you wish, if nothing is buffed, there is no penalty or cool down.
