[Guide] DBM Profiles - DeadlyBossMods/DBM-Retail GitHub Wiki

DBM has have built in profiles support. Here is what you need to know

  1. This has no connection to the old 3rd party solution "DBM-Profiles" which has been around a while and used ace profiles. if you did use "DBM-Profiles", this MUST be uninstalled before using DBM or it'll cause a lot of errors to occur and could damage your settings beyond repair.

  2. Saved stats are stored per character and can't be shared between characters (at least from DBM GUI).

  3. DBM-Core has a default profile that controls only things related to core. Bar positions. Special warning colors, range finder location. Etc. All core functions. You are able to create different profiles if you wish to save diff bar positions or whatever for different characters and UIs if you wish. you can see this below in top of screen shot. Sadly core profiles have no automatic switching based on spec or role at this time.

  1. DBM has separate profile behaviors that can be used specifically for mod configurations. You can see that above in bottom of above screen shot. These do use automatic switching based on current spec/role and that automatic switching cannot be disabled without disabling profiles feature.

  2. By Default, DBM will use single profile for classes that only have a single role (such as warlock and rogue). it won't do anything fancy or change options at all. It'll use same settings for all specs. You have to enable option to support different options for each spec. For any other spec, profiles feature is on by default.

  3. When enabled. DBM will automatically generate new default options for boss mods for each spec. You can see details for this below dbm_mod_profiles1

  4. You are able to copy mod options from other specs, even other characters on your account (once you've logged into them and migrated their settings to the new account bound system. You can see details for this below dbm_mod_profiles2

  5. To summerize, DBM-Core has manual profile systems where you have to create and manage profiles on your own (hope to fix this one day). Mods have automatic profile system that you can NOT manage on own, it's automatically managed when you change specs (again hope to create more user options one day).
