Installation and Configuration

Install Raven by copying its files into your WoW addons folder (or use your favorite addons update utility).
You can bring up a configuration panel by typing in "/raven" or clicking on Raven's optional minimap button or data broker icon. Raven includes detailed tooltips for most options in the configuration panel.

Raven project page: https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/raven
Bufflehead project page: https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/bufflehead (for cancelling player buffs in combat)

Compatible with Shadowlands and Classic

The latest releases include support for both retail and classic servers. For classic servers, this release is intended to provide basic compatibility but not to be optimized to exactly match classic's functionality.

Getting Started

The quickest way to get started with Raven is to use the standard bar groups on the Setup tab of the configuration panel. Standard bar groups offer a variety of presentations of buffs and debuffs on the player, target and focus plus cooldowns for the player.
Select the standard bar groups you want (hint: you probably don't want all the player buff bar groups since that will result in duplicates) and click either the Create As Bars or Create As Icons button. This will create an anchor for each selected bar group near the center of your display that you can move by clicking and dragging.
When you mouse over an anchor you'll see a tooltip with shortcuts for changing the bar group's configuration and for showing test bars. You can lock and unlock the bar group anchors using buttons on the configuration panel Setup tab (locked anchors are hidden, unlocked anchors are visible). The Defaults tab lets you change the appearance of your bars with configuration options for bar dimensions, fonts and textures.

Using Bar Groups

Once you set up standard bar groups, timer bars or icons will be displayed for buffs, debuffs and cooldowns. Bars will be in standard colors which can be customized on the Defaults tab (and overridden in each bar group, see More Customization below).
After using Raven a while, you will probably want to make some adjustments. Perhaps you don't like the default colors of the bars or you want to switch between bars and icons. Or maybe you want a dedicated bar group for the procs and cooldowns you monitor closely during combat.
At this point, it is necessary to understand that there are two types of bar groups: auto bar groups and custom bar groups. Auto bar groups are used to automatically display bars for buffs, debuffs and cooldowns. Most of the standard bar groups (all except Notifications) are pre-configured auto bar groups. Custom bar groups allow you to manually configure bars for a mix of buffs, debuffs, cooldowns and notifications. Typically, custom bar groups are used to present spell rotations and buff/cleansing reminders.

Auto Bar Groups

Open the configuration panel and click on the Bar Groups tab. Using the pull-down menu near the top, select any existing standard bar group (except Notifications) or create a new auto bar group by clicking on the New Auto Group button. A second set of tabs appears that lets you configure the selected bar group.
You use the Buffs, Debuffs, and Cooldowns tabs to specify what kinds of bars to display (and which ones to filter out). These tabs lets you control how the bar group is populated as new buffs, debuffs and cooldowns are detected. For buffs and debuffs, you specify who the action must be on and who it must be cast by. For cooldowns, you specify what kinds of cooldowns to detect. When new buffs, debuffs and cooldowns are detected that match the criteria, bars for them are automatically displayed.
Auto bar groups have filter lists to let you suppress showing unwanted bars. Both black lists (i.e., don't show if on the list) and white lists (i.e., only show if on the list) are supported. You can manage filter lists on the Buff, Debuff and Cooldown tabs.

Custom Bar Groups

While the standard bar groups provide an easy way to get started, you might also want to set up bar groups that contain just the bars you care about during combat. For example, to support your feral druid's DPS rotation you might want bars for the Savage Roar buff on the player, Mangle, Rake and Rip debuffs on the target, and Tiger's Fury and Berserk cooldowns.
To create a new custom bar group, open the Raven configuration panel, select the Bar Groups tab, then click on New Custom Group and enter a name (e.g., "Combat Bars"). This will bring up a new, empty bar group. To add bars, select the Custom Bars tab and click the New button.
When you click the New button, the configuration panel is put into bar creation mode (you won't be able to access other options until you click either Okay or Cancel at the bottom of the scrollable options). Select a bar type (e.g., buff, debuff, cooldown) and then appropriate options. For example, when you select Buff, you can then enter a spell name. Pay particular attention to correctly setting who the action is on and who it is cast by. Click Okay to finishing adding the bar (it is now included in the list of bars and can be customized by clicking on it and adjusting its associated options). You can repeat the bar creation process by clicking New again to add any mix of bar types.
The Custom Bars tab also lets you make changes to bars after they have been added. Select any individual bar to bring up configuration options that let you adjust its color, label text, special effects, and other properties. You can toggle enable to disable the bar.

More Customization

You can further customize bar groups using configuration settings in the General, Layout, Appearance, and Timer Options tabs. The following is a brief description of what each tab supports (mouse over options for explanatory tooltips).
The General tab provides options to enable/disable the entire bar group, rename the bar group, specify how bars are sorted, conditionally show/hide the bar group, and adjust settings for mouse clicks, tooltips, and special effects (e.g., pulsing icons, flashing on expiration).
The Layout and Appearance tabs let you modify the look of the selected bar group. You can adjust the bar group's configuration and the direction that bars grow from the anchor. You can select alternate coloring schemes which, among other things, let you show each spell with a custom color that you can define on the Spells tab. You can adjust dimensions, fonts and textures (after overriding defaults set on the Defaults tab). You can turn on and off particular characteristics (icon, colored bar, spark, label, etc.) and change their relative positions. If you prefer icon-based interfaces, Raven includes configurations featuring large icons with optional mini-bars. You can also attach bar groups to each other to facilitate alignment (including the ability to attach to a bar group's last bar so a stack of bar groups can expand and shrink as needed). Play around some and check out the range of possible designs (hint: you can shift-left-click on a bar group anchor to show test bars).
The Timer Options tab lets you adjust settings related to bar duration and time left. You can set all bars in a group to have a uniform duration (this makes it easy to compare how much time is left on bars with similar, but slightly different, durations). You can specify whether to show bars with unlimited duration (e.g., paladin auras). You can filter bars based on their durations and amount of time left (this is how the standard bar groups separate short buffs from long buffs).
Bar groups can have background panels and borders. Set them up in the Defaults tab to show them for all bar groups or in the Appearance tab for individual bar groups. You can enable a background panel with texture, color, and size (size is specified as padding in pixels from the bar group's bars and icons). You can enable a background border separately with a border design, color, edge size, and inset (inset helps merge panel and border correctly).

Multi-Target Buff and Debuff Tracking

Raven includes multi-target buff and debuff tracking similar to other DoT and HoT timer addons. The Setup tab now includes Buff Tracker and Debuff Tracker standard bar groups. These bar groups will group timer bars for buffs or debuffs that you cast on each target and, by default, will show a header with the target name above its associated timer bars. Optionally, you can include the target name in the timer bar labels instead of showing headers (set Hide Headers on the General tab for the bar group). Use black list and white list filtering capabilities in these bar groups to customize them (e.g., you can make a Beacon of Light tracker by creating a HoT timer bar group with only that spell in its white list). You might want to stick with bar-oriented configurations for these since the headers (which include raid target icons and indicate current target, focus or mouseover unit) are currently designed to work best as bars.

Conditions

Raven monitors a variety of events during play and can display notifications when certain conditions are met. While somewhat complex to set up, conditions are quite powerful and can help with spell rotations, decursing, etc. Raven includes default conditions for each class for basics like making sure you have class-specific buffs during combat.
Conditions can be used in Raven to trigger notifications and to control whether or not bar groups are visible. Generally speaking, once you set up a condition you will want to set up a notification bar to show you when the condition is true. When you configure the Notifications standard bar group on the Setup tab, you automatically get notifications for your configured conditions.
Conditions are configured in Raven under the Conditions tab. To get a feel for setting up conditions, take a minute to look at the default conditions for your class. Select one of the conditions using the pull-down menu near the top. A second set of two tabs (General, Tests) appears with options for configuring the selected condition.
The Tests tab has a summary of settings at the top and a list of available tests below. There are tests for checking status of the player, target and focus, tests for checking for combinations of buffs and defuffs, and tests for checking if spells or items are ready to be used. Selecting a test brings up options specific to that test. For example, the Player Status test lets you check if you are in combat, resting, have more than a certain percentage of your health, how many combo points you have, etc.
All the tests you enable must be true for the overall condition to evaluate to true (the summary at the top is intended to help visualize how the tests combine). You can also add dependencies between conditions that can be helpful for factoring out common tests (e.g., a condition to see if you are in cat form and in combat might be a dependency for other conditions defining a druid's feral spell rotation).
The General tab for each condition allows you to enable/disable the condition and specify if the condition is suitable for triggering a notification. You can also associate a spell with a condition (the spell's icon and color are used to customize notifications based on the condition).

Multiple Characters

Raven is designed to simplify configuration across multiple characters. This is required because each class may make quite different use of timer bars (e.g., some depend on tracking cooldowns while others watch for debuffs to expire on the target). In the Profiles tab, Raven includes the profile options common to Ace3-based addons and, by default, creates a new profile for each character.
In addition to using profiles, Raven shares a variety of settings across characters. This can result in some confusion since it works differently than in other addons (but can simplify configuring Raven if you play several different classes). First, the appearance options on the Defaults tab (dimensions, fonts, textures) apply to all profiles (they can be overridden as needed in any bar group, of course). Second, almost all bar group settings (the primary exception being the actual bars associated with custom groups) are linked between bar groups of the same name in all profiles that have Link Settings enabled (note that Link Settings is no longer enabled by default for standard bar groups on the Setup tab). Third, filter lists are linked by default between auto bar groups of the same name in all profiles, simplifying dealing with unwanted buff, debuff and cooldown bars.

Cancelling Buffs

Raven includes support for right-click cancel of player buffs when out of combat but only limited support for cancelling in combat.*The addon Bufflehead was created to address this. Please check it out and consider using it as a companion addon with Raven.*Raven does include an "in-combat" bar that is useful if you can anticipate which buffs you will need to cancel. You set up the "in-combat" bar with a list of player buffs that you want to be able to cancel in combat. When one of these buffs becomes active, its icon pulses into place on the "in-combat" bar and you can right-click it to cancel.

Re: Raven r326 for 6.0.2

Thanks for a reminder.
One question, since I don't have access to the game right now: Will we have a list of "known/recently used" spells to simplify rule construction?
Such finction did a lot of help in SBF.

Raven r326 for 6.0.2

Raven r326 is the official release for 6.0.2 and it is now available here at wowinterface. There are a few changes to note. First, I've removed the Highlights feature which displayed overlays for buffs and debuffs on Bartender4 and Dominos action buttons (it confused many new users and was a challenge to maintain/test given dependencies on other addons). Second, I changed how new bars are created in custom bar groups. I removed the arrays of check boxes for known spells and now require spell names or numeric ids to be entered for each new buff/debuff/cooldown bar (this saved a huge amount of time updating/testing for WoD and removes one of the biggest sources of reported problems). Third, I added bar textures and borders to give a few options when no other shared media-based addon is loaded. And, finally, I fixed the Pixel Perfect option to work better with non-standard UI scales (be sure to reload UI after you adjust the UI scale so Raven recognizes the change).

Please note that I disabled the localizations included with Raven because they are pretty out of date. If anyone is interested in doing localizations for Raven, please contact me with a private message. You can get an idea of the scope of the task by looking at the enUS.lua file in Raven's Localizations folder.

I have been testing on the beta and PTR servers for a while now and hopefully I have made all the changes required for 6.0.2. I could not have done it without the addon community on the wowinterface forums!

For anyone interested, the change log lists all updates and bug fixes made since the first build made specifically for WoD.

Yes thats maybe right I was playing with the raven options some time ago and now saw this error in my Buggrabber I can't tell where it was from. Thanks for the reply and explanation!

Helpful hint: Make spell color associations global. Automatically pick an arbitrary color for each newly added spell, but of course let user change it.
Will clean up and streamline the interface by a lot.

The curseforge project site has an alpha build for Raven on WoD but I've had mixed reports on how it is working for people.
About the spell presets, have never used them not shure if its worth the work for you... but if you need help I'll have some time soon just PM me what you need then. But please don't give up or let somone take over this addon :P
If you need some gametime in WoD I'll donate for shure again if raven stays up to date
I have bought WoD so I should be playing at least part time in the expansion.

There is a new alpha build that changes how custom bars are created. The presets are no longer used to populate a list of spells and, instead, spell names or numeric ids are entered (and validated). The presets are still used for some things (e.g., identifying spells to detect school lockouts) that I can replace with smaller tables. The biggest use of the presets is providing default spell colors but I plan to replace this with the algorithm used in my Puffin project (it will mean new default spell colors which still can be manually adjusted on the Spells tab).

I've also removed the Highlights module from Raven, which added color-coded overlays showing buff/debuff/cooldown status to selected action bar addons. This code depended on the internal design of Bartender and Dominos. It also never worked with Blizzard's default action bars (or other popular addons like Elvui). Some may miss this feature but, in addition to the technical support issues, it was a source of confusion to people who did not expect a buff/debuff/cooldown addon to change the appearance of their action bars.

It looks like getting rid of presets will require dropping class-based coloring and sorting since the class info comes from the preset tables. I don't think this is a particularly big loss and it can be done while maintaining compatibility with existing profiles (class sorting is replaced by alphabetic sorting, for example).

a) Woud like to change the color of the totems... e.g. the earth one coud be more brown instead of gray.

b) Woud like to shorten the names so that you can use it as bars without icon, currently in German the
names are all like: Totem der ... or Totem des...
woud be nice if we coud remove this part of the Totem name or give individual names so you don't have to make bars as long as "Totem der Energiespeicherung" or "Totem des glühenden Magmas" instead just:
Energiespeicherung, Magma, Erdbindung, Erdung, Feuerelementar, Verbrennung, Heilender Fluss, Erdstoß, Erdelementar, Heilungsflut, Sturmpeitsche.
Hi Tony. I am not currently playing WoW but I have been testing Raven a bit on the beta. There is a rather intimidating amount of work required to update all the spell/class presets and I am not sure that I can face it. I am, however, downloading the latest build to the PTR. I'll check it out some more and then decide what to do. I would hate to leave Raven users without a reasonable alternative, of course.

The clockface cooldown works on live, it just doesn't work with the alpha version I modifed to make work on warlords. Probably something else broken.

But one thing I cant find in raven is a way to do a GCD as well as a regular cooldown for a spell. Like action slots work.

I couldn't find the spiral mod

They're not working on beta, but work on live.
It's called "spiral" and you need an OmniCC addon for that.
