ReadyCheckPull Alert
Every raider knows the feeling. The raid leader calls a ready check, and for a split second, you wonder if you are wearing your tanking set instead of your DPS gear, or if your loot spec is still set to Restoration from that last dungeon run. ReadyCheckPull Alert eliminates that doubt entirely. This lightweight addon brings the essential information you need to the center of your screen the moment a ready check begins, then fades it away so you can focus on the pull.
What Does ReadyCheckPull Alert Do?
When a ready check is initiated, ReadyCheckPull Alert for World of Warcraft displays three distinct blocks of information: your currently equipped gear set name, your active talent loadout, and your loot specialization. Each block is independent, meaning you can customize its font, size, outline, color, anchor point, and screen position. You can even disable any block you do not need.
Gear Set Display
The addon reads the name of the equipment set you have equipped. If you are not wearing a full saved set, it will show "Gear Set??" to alert you that something is off. This is a lifesaver for off-spec players who frequently swap between tank, healer, and DPS gear.
Talent Loadout Display
Your active talent loadout name appears in the second block. If you are using the built-in Blizzard loadout system, it pulls the name directly from there. When you are using an external loadout addon, ReadyCheckPull Alert can read that name as well. If no loadout is detected, it shows "Loadout??" as a warning.
Loot Spec Display
The third block shows the specialization your loot is set to. By default, this is the spec you are currently playing, but if you have changed it for a specific boss or dungeon, the addon will display that clearly. No more accidentally rolling on the wrong gear.
Customization Options
ReadyCheckPull Alert is built for players who like control. Each of the three blocks has its own independent settings. You can adjust the prefix text that appears before each name. The default prefixes are "Gear Set:", "Talents:", and "Loot Spec:", but you can change them to anything up to 20 characters, or turn them off entirely to see just the name.
Timing is also fully adjustable. You can set how long the text holds on the screen and how long the fade-out animation takes. This ensures the information is visible long enough to read but disappears before it becomes a distraction.
Hide in Combat
By default, the addon hides the text the moment you enter combat. If a ready check is called during combat, it shows nothing. This keeps your screen clean during intense encounters and prevents any visual clutter when you need to focus on mechanics.
Slash Commands
Getting around the addon is simple. Use the following commands:
- /rcp - Opens the settings window
- /rcp config - Opens the settings window
- /rcp help - Lists all available commands
