About IdiotCheck
Have you ever charged into a boss fight, only to discover you're an idiot and forgot something crucial?
This mod checks your character and gear before boss pulls to make sure nothing is wrong, and yells at you in various humorous ways if you're being an idiot. It goes into considerable depth and checks many things not checked by traditional raid buffing addons.
You might be an idiot if you've ever gone into a boss fight...
- With a broken weapon
- Wearing a fishing pole, chef's hat, or teleport item
- Wearing your pvp gear
- With a dead pet
- With an inactive meta gem
- Without your hit/expertise trinket equipped
- Without an enchant or gem on that new item
- Without your profession-related gear buffs
- Without a belt buckle
- Missing talent points
- With glyphs for the wrong spec
- With a flask for the wrong spec
- Without your class self-buffs
- Much, much more...
All checks can be individually enabled/disabled and configured. By default it checks your gear when you first target a boss or receive a ready check. The addon itself is very lightweight and fast, and never runs during combat.
IdiotCheck is meant to complement, but not replace, traditional raid buffing tools like BigBrother and RaidBuffStatus. It focuses on making sure you are doing your job, and not what other players are doing or not doing (if they are being idiots make them download the addon as well).
Starting in version 3.0, IdiotCheck can also scan inspection targets and group members for a limited set of failures. Note that checking via inspection/scanning is less thorough than self-checks, due to limitations in the Blizzard inspection API. This feature is provided as a convenience, but for the most accurate results all players to be checked should install the addon.
Installation and Usage:
- Install as usual
- Left-click the icon to run a self-check manually
- Middle-click the icon to scan your current group members within inspection range
- Right-click the icon on the minimap or LDB for settings (defaults are good for most purposes)
- Command-line options are also available via: /ic

Warning about content:
This addon is essentially a drill instructor for your raid play. It works by yelling at you when you screw up, so that other players don't have to. This addon includes occasional use of strong language, which is not intended for children or other people who are easily offended. Do not submit complaints, we're not going to change it for you. If you are easily offended do not download this addon. Better yet, quit wow and go play Hello Kitty Island Adventure.

Tried to paruse thru past Post did not see this and hope I did not miss it, if it has already been addressed. Idiot check is harrassing me on My Warrior about Not having a gem in a second Sha touched weapon in my off hand. Unless they changed it and I am not aware ,Sha touched gems are Unique, so a second sha gem can not be placed in the off hand sha touched weapon. I also have not completed the next phase that adds a Prismatic socket to the sha weapons.
Thanks
You are correct that you can only equip a single sha-touched gem at a time, which means if you're equpping two sha-touched weapons one must unsocketed. Consequently, almost any weapon of equal ivll would be a better choice than the unsocketed weapon, but I guess if it's all you have that might not be a uniformly Idiot choice.
Best solution for now is to disable the checkmark for "sha-touched gems" under the "Gear" configuration settings.
With paladin tier there's a problem. It shows Badstats for using hit gear and that gear dont have hit. Testing more.... btw, nice and usefull addon. We have many times someone with cooking hat or fishing pole, when doing rdycheck :)
I suspect this is a locale-related bug. Please post a ticket with complete information (including which locale you are using) here:
http://www.wowace.com/addons/idiotcheck/tickets/
I love this addon first of all. But, there is one problem i encounter.
As I'm using the addon "InspectEquip", when i inspect a target, the information windows shown on the right of main frame overlap with IdiotCheck's. In order to clearly see the data, i have to cancel either InspectEquip's or IdiotCheck's window. if the goal is to see both addons stats at the same time, is there anyway to fix this problem? thanks.
i've made traditional chinese translation on http://www.wowace.com/addons/idiotcheck/localization/
please check. thanks.
Could you make this addon so its searchable on wowstead when you're trying to add it as a suggested or required addon for your guild to use?
I don't think there's anything I can do on my end to make this happen - this addon is already hosted on Curse and Curse runs Wowstead, I think they may just need to refresh the connection - see this post.
I don't have admin on any wowstead sites to verify if/when this is working, but I would recommend posting a report on their site forum explaining the problem you're having.
Hi! I like this addon, but i have 2 issues:
1. on my Arms warrior spec is properly detected, but it doesn't show any warning for being in Defensive stance (instead of Battle Stance).
2. on my Disc priest spec is properly detected, but it doesn't show any warning for missing Inner Fire/Will.
The addon already checks for both Inner Fire/Will and Tank Stance, but these are considered "buffs", and by default Buff checks are only performed inside an instance, so you won't see them standing around in town. You can change this in the Buff settings.
Just a note to all - the new 4.0 version should be *mostly* working on 5.0 live servers. It definitely has a few small bugs remaining to be fixed that I'll be working on in the coming week or so (I'm responsible for a large number of addons so my time is limited). Please post any issues you find here:
http://www.wowace.com/addons/idiotcheck/tickets/
Hi there,
Getting
Message: ...\IdiotCheck\libs\LibDualSpec-1.0\LibDualSpec-1.0-8.lua:321: attempt to call global "GetActiveTalentGroup" (a nil value)
Time: 08/30/12 23:53:55
Count: 1
Stack:
Locals:
The char does have dual talent spec and I configured the second one today.
I ripped out LibDualSpec, so you shouldn't get this message anymore (unless you install it yourself)
Many thanks. Will raise new ticket for hunter on wowace.
First of all: thanks for a great addon.
A request: Would it be possible to output some kind of idiot/non-idiot output to the text part of the LDB feed? It would be great to be able to glance at the infobar and have textual confirmation of readyness for myself.
Cheers
