Question - Checking others buffs

[burdsjm]

So I am constantly buffing people, but most of them are idiots and forget to put up the good familiars/Jann's veil buff and their mount blessing.

Is there a way that I can be notified to tell them they are down?


Thanks!

/inspectbuffs is an EQ command that will spit out a text list of all the buffs on your target.

I just target the person. More of a visual person here so the little icons help instead of the list. But I like the /inspectbuffs too.

Are you using ka or something in group and want to tell them its down?

Just a shaman on a raid. Ideally it would be some kind so pop up or message to me to let me know.

I would want to manually tell them about it.

Ok any tool you are using already that might need an extension? Having to start and stop macros is a pita.

Sounds like a buff watch situation, where you could target someone, click a button and then the macro would check their buffs against a list you cared about and tell you what's missing. It could even buff them for you. I'd be interested in making it if you'd like.

The docs are a bit thin on this, but I think it would work well in this situation. If you're the buffer - then mq2 will track what buffs you have on others, so you don't have to constantly target them and then check. Also, works for buffs others cast on them, but if you're worried about things that you do, then it seems perfect.
