I don't know if the bug is with BoK entirely or if it's because I have BoK at such a stupidly low level and it's getting confused at why I have BoK but not salv. Hope this helps, though

Great detective work Seorin! Yep, when the (not so) great paladin revamp came along and Blizzard moved BoK to early up in the protection tree, I forgot to change the level requirements for the spell that Blessings uses. I also forgot to add in the additional levels for the new spell books that drop in the high level instances. For now, you can "fix" your own copy by looking at line 179, and searching for the text
["levels"] = {30} and replacing it with
["levels"] = {10} (i.e., change the 30 to 10, which basically says that you can cast BoK on players level 10 and above).

Hi ravagernl. The problem with this approach is what happens when each of the paladins are redoing their buffs, since you can get a lot of confusion then about whether the player has your buff from before, or has the buff from another player. It gets even more confusing if two or more paladins are all rebuffing at the same time. Unfortunately, I've not found an easy way to automatically assign blessings amongst players and paladins (which sort of leads on to katana's post, response below).

Hi Andreal. Actually Blessings provides a function that you can call from a macro, called
Blessings_CastSingleBlessing which will do what you want. Not sure why I never documented it on the download page. Anyway, to simply cast a class-specific blessing on your current target, just make a macro like:
/script Blessings_CastSingleBlessing("target")
The
Blessings_CastSingleBlessing function can also allow you to select a specific blessing that you want to cast on your target - see the comments for the function at line 2313 in Blessings.lua to find out more of what it can do if you want.
Note that I've not tested this function in a while, so it is possible it may not work properly (although it should) but give it a try and see if it works for you.

But since Cirk's Blessings is already sooo amazing, I'm now thinking about an extra layer above it... have that layer let you assign blessings, and share the info with OTHER players in the raid, and automatically configure their blessing. A little like a paladin boss assistant, tactical com device ^^
What do you think ?

I'd love to see some sort of blessing coordination capability in Blessings. Problem is that I've never figured out a good way to lay out and assign the data. We often have only 2 or 3 paladins, and each paladin (apart from the one casting Salvation) is then handling 2 or 3 different blessings on different classes (ignoring the issue of those players that want a "special" blessing just for them). As you add in more paladins it does become easier of course, and as soon as you have 6 or more the assignments become pretty much trivial. But its trying to figure out how to present that on a UI for setup or assignment when there is only 2 or 3 or 4 paladins that has (so far) been beyond me. If anyone can figure out a good layout for something like this, let me know (i.e., post here), and I can start figuring out how to actually add something like this to Blessings.

Oh, good catch bitz, thanks.

Yeah, unfortunately you can't cast greater blessings on pets. I'm thinking I should probably disable pets by default, since this causes a lot of annoyance. (I turned on the remember filter settings option just so that I didn't have to keep remembering to turn off pets each raid).
I'm also thinking I need to improve the way in which Blessings determines when to reset the greater blessings casting, so that Paladin's don't have to keep reseting it to avoid it doing single target blessings when the raid wipes too soon after the blessings were last refreshed.
Thanks for the feedback everyone!
