LootBlare

LootBlare displays a clear, sorted list of item rolls in a moveable frame whenever a single uncommon or higher item is linked in Raid Warning. It helps raid leaders and players see roll results at a glance.

How to Use

Starting a Roll

• To initiate a loot roll, the Master Looter (ML) sends a Raid Warning with the linked item. This prompts the addon to display the roll frame.
• Only the ML can start the roll; other players' rolls are ignored.

Roll Sorting

• Rolls are automatically categorized and sorted by type to streamline loot distribution. Only the first roll submitted by each player is considered; subsequent rolls are ignored.

Moving the Frame

• The loot frame appears at the center of your screen and can be moved by dragging.

Easy Roll Buttons

• The addon provides quick buttons for common roll types:

Button	Description	Roll Range	Tooltip
SR	Soft Reserve	1–101	Rolls for soft reserve items
MS	Main Spec	1–100	Rolls for main spec
OS	Off Spec	1–99	Rolls for off spec
TM	Transmog	1–50	Rolls for transmog
