Breaks reputation down into it's base values, you gain 10 rep or 50 rep or 100 rep, no gigantic decimal values showing the next rep rank (Like 2.347261), no, it gives it to you in a simple 4000/21000 style amount. Makes life so much easier 
I don't have time to chat with you about buffs. I made my preferences known at the start (BoK and BoM) and it's up to you and the 4 other paladins on this raid to figure out who is casting what AND THEN FUCKING DO IT.

If you don't have time to push one macro every 5 minutes for your buffs, I don't have time to manually target 39 people and buff each of them every 5 minutes either.

Have you ever played a buffing class? On a raid people get dispelled, die, have their buffs pushed off by debuffs (maybe not in wow), click off their buffs by accident, want to change buffs mid-raid, ... It's much easier for you to /w people than it is for the paladins to constantly check 50 people for buffs.
If you have some sort of personal issue, you will send me a tell, because it's bad enough I have to buff 40 people and I'm not going to be dealing with 39 Personal Issues.
If it's a guild thing, blame your guild. We sort out what Paladins cast which blessings on which classes to maximize use of talents, and that works pretty well. Still, if we're clearing trash mobs, you're not going to get blessings usually unless you ask for them or I'm bored. 30 minutes of trash mobs is 240 blessings where I have to worry about Line of Sight, range, timing, etc.

Just help the poor slob out and take the FOUR SECONDS out of your day to reply to him. You act like clarifying what Blessings you want are some horrendous, horrible thing that you need to tediously discuss with every Paladin in the raid for 30 minutes each just to get.

This one shaman in my guild has a nice macro that sends me a whisper when he uses his healthstone.
Is there by any chance an addon that helps with this? I suppose it wouldn't be possible for something to tell me whenever anyone uses a healthstone I supplied them with, would it?
Are there any other warlock specific helpful addons out there that anyone knows about?
I have engaged far too many boss mobs and found my only blessings to be Light and Sanctuary. 
It's not something people hear about.

Lashanna had this to say about Matthew Broderick:
On bosses, you will get what Blessing I give, and your preference can be damned. During trash mobs, if you get a blessing other than Salvation, you should count yourself lucky that I've even bothered.
You always sucked at giving any blessings to me. 
SALVATION PLEASE DAMMIT!

All my blessings are assigned to alt keys, (Alt+1-5 for blessings). By the end of a night of Blackwing Lair, my left hand starts to develop the most uncomfortable pains
Btw, Sean, Light is actually nice to have in a 40 person raid (since paladins will give you 4 blessings--salvation kings might light) or when the pally is pretty much your main healer.
We've got an abundance of Druids, two Priests, and two or three Paladins. I want Might, goddamnit.

If it were THAT I would have no problems with it.
No, he wants me to do that when the buff runs out. ie: I buff myself. So if I request a buff while he's trying to heal someone, either I'm shafted for the buff for a bit, or whoever was being healed just got killed.
And all the good raid paladins I've seen wind up using BuffAhoy. Spam one key and it auto-buffs people by selected preference. Usually Paladins break out by a single buff. One does King, one does Sanc, one does Might, etc. How hard is it to spam a single key once every 5 minutes? They do it with Decursive quite a bit!

Honestly, I forget. I have other crap going on,, or I just can't take a full minute out of my life to buff it over and over and over... with Whispercast, it's more spread out, and most people don't even bother. It's a happy medium - the people who actually want their buffs make a macro that whispers each paladin, and push the silly macro when the buffs fade. The people who don't give a shit about blessings (read: two thirds of the raid) don't get them unless we're doing a boss, which works fine for them.
quote:
Addy said this about your mom:
Generally during fights, paladins are busy spamming heal and/or cleanse. Yes, they should be trying to make sure the blessing is on you still, but if it fades and they don't rebuff it, just send them a tell. It's not that hard.That BuffAhoy thing seems really annoying, whispercast is better. =\
If it fades during combat, I don't notice. Generally I don't care either. 
He refused to buff anyone. *HE* was not going to buff. In combat, out of combat, didn't matter. In combat if you *need* the buff (and I don't consider any of them *need* caliber. Fort, yes. BoK, BoM, BoS, BoL, SOL: no.) it makes sense to send him a tell and when it's in his ability to service the request, great. If it turns out that I wind up not getting the buff till the end of the fight because of something, oh well. Refusing to play your class or a section of your class because you can shuffle it out to brainless automation (ie: you can be replaced with a bot) isn't acceptable.

If that were the case with my guild paladins, it probably wouldn't bug me too much as I could make a macro that I'd keep. Given that I'm pulled in on random raids or joint raids with another guild I'd rather not keep rebuilding macros every few hours.

Because Buff Ahoy doesn't work so hot, and there are issues of Line of Sight, and it DOES take mana, and there are so many reasons it's not so simple. There are many little qualifiers. I'd consider my guild to be full of good raiders (and if you disagree, you're not really worth arguing with, because the guild's record speaks for itself imo), and some very good paladins. Not a single one uses BuffAhoy.
For the record, with WhisperCast and BuffByTell, it DOESN'T have you "buff yourself". It puts you in a little box, with your name and requested buff. There's a button there that says "Cast" and it casts the buff requested on the first person in the queue. So if they're healing, it can still get through to you.
I actually find rogues to be the least grateful, and most annoying people to buff, though Hunters who demand Pet Blessings in a raid rank up there too.
In addition to all this, I'll be buffing Salvation, and someone will ask me for Kings, and I have to take the time to explain to them that I'm not doing Kings, and if I can't just give them Kings anyway, because if I do, they'll lose Salvation.
Yes, Paladins slack off now and again, some more than others, but you have no right to bitch incessantly about a process that's really very frustrating and not fun, or entertaining. So you go up there and you whack the boss with your weapons, you do your damage, you control your threat, display your damage meters at the end. Just remember that we're cleansing, and blessing, and secondary healing (very frustrating task in it's own). Lay off.
[Edit]: Something I forgot to mention, is that when you're buffing 40 people, because of Global Cooldowns, lag, some degree of Human Error, and having to find "hiding" raid members, by the time you're finished some people are down to three minutes on their blessing. I try remedy this by buffing key classes (Priests, Warriors, Rogues, Mages, for the most part) last. Lashanna fucked around with this message on 09-21-2005 at 06:33 PM.

I solved this problem myself by killing all ctrl or alt bindings except for self casting, and dumped stuff over to the number pad. This takes the load off my left hand for pure hotkey use and spreads it a little more evenly to my right as well, and finding a key on the number pad is quite easy.

Never heard an issue with BA yet. Minor bugs from version changes in WoW asside of course.
If they're hiding, out out of range, whatever, that's THEIR fault. Sucks to be them. If I'm OOR or Stealthed and checking something when the buff cycles comes around, then I'm fucked. I accept that and move on. Again, the buffs are not considered critical to me. If I have them, great. I can do more. If I don't have them, I'm not hindered in any real way. They're a bonus to me. If the Paladins organize and they're not able to cover all the 'needed' buffs AND get me my desired buffs, so what? They're doing their job, I'm going to do mine. End of story. Fuckers who piss and moan because they want shit their way can fuck off and die. I've played the Buff Bitch routine before. Paladins have it easy in some considerations compared to EQ Chanters and Shamen.

I have a set macro that I use for buffs, whether they be during a raid or "drive-by". It auto /whispers the buffer "Thank You for the buff."
In most battles I rarely notice if I am buffed or not. If I get one, woot. If not, it isnt the end of the world...
In fact Addy (followed by every other rogue here.. and then followed closely by everyone else) will probably kill me for saying this.. I have to put up a stopwatch timer that beeps at me to remind me to reapply my poisons to my blades... otherwise I can go an entire game session (or raid) and not even realise until the last few minutes that I've not used any poisons at all.
It's not something people hear about.

You know that they sell peripheral 10-key number pads for laptops, and they're not very expensive, right?
