I"ve been playing in here for longer than i should've and one thing that was really bothering me, was making raids (if not in guild). Inspections take forever, you forget who had what gear when item roll time comes.. Not to mention all this time spent copy/pasting LFM message and keep editing it. In my case, i just dont have free space in my macros anymore :D So i decided to make a tool for everyone, to make it simpler.
I present, Raid Inspector! https://github.com/scavangeris/raidi.../v0.12.2-alpha
A simple, lightweight addon that makes these things easier.
Inspector tab: https://imgur.com/Cbs3nzh
1. Player List:
Here those who are either targeted or in your raid will be added here, and as long as they are in proximity range of inspection, their gear will be scanned and presented on the right side of the addon.
USAGE: 1. Target player, click "target" and he will be scanned.
USAGE 2. When you invite people to raid group, click "Raid" and people in your raid will be added to the list, and if they are in range, their gear will be scanned and presented on the right side.
2. It shows class, spec, gearscore.
3. If there are any missing gems, it will show how many
4. Shows total available and current sockets.
5. Shows raid composition, checking everyones class and spec, giving you somewhat understanding how many people do you have and what you still miss.
6. You can report via Raid, Say or Whisper, selected person what his gs and situation with gems/sockets.
7. If there are any issues with the item, it will be displayed in red. In example there's gem missing on the wand.
All the options and their meanings:
S:recent/F:all = Filters on how players added are displayed. (order)
Target = scans targeted player
Raid = adds everyone in your raid to scan list.
Share = sends report (number 6) to selected areas of the targeted person (inside addon)
Save = saves 1 selected person into logs
Report = Saves entire list of players scanned. INCLUDING their gear, spec, gs, everything thats displayed on the right side, for later preview if you want.
Display = gives information about addon.
Clear = clears your list.
LFM tab: https://imgur.com/Th86AG3
1. Your LFM message. Type in what you want to be announced. (for example LFM ICC25n 5.8+. [Your achievement here]) (and yes, you can link achievement in there too, mini steps how to do that are explained in the message below)
2. Select channel where you want to post your message (must be joined)
3. Select delay between every message (to avoid spam ban per post) and click POST. It will paste your message to selected channels with selected delay from one another.
4. Selection of classes and specs. Once your raid is getting filled, you might need specific roles or classes only. So rather than keep editing your macro or copy paste text of what you need, you can simply check the checkbox and it will automatically add them right after your LFM message. In this example: If the message was " LFM ICC25n 5.8+. [Your achievement here] " and you select war paladin+prot, shaman, resto, it will output " LFM ICC25n 5.8+. [Your achievement here] Warrior: prot, Shaman: resto" etc.
This is still an early version. I call it alpha, but for now it gets the job done. Every few weeks/months i will try to update the addon to make it better and better, but for now, i hope you all enjoy it!. Cheers!
P.S. This works on both realms. idk why it posted on Lordaeron thread.

This looks great. Keep up the good work. Good to see people still developing/creating addons. I've used this and it works. One suggestion; In the LFM message sometimes it says things like prot/holy blah blah. that's great but it's kinda ambiguous since holy could mean holy priest and not holy pala? I mean granted maybe not may raids are using holy priest... but still....
Hey, thanks for feed back. Yes, after the release and using for a few weeks, i noticed myself how poor that decision was :D I'm gathering notes, and within a month or two, will release v2 with improvements just as the class picker that you mentioned :)
A few quality updates for the addon. Check patch notes.
Inspector:
Right-click a player row to copy the name; right-click a gear row to open
the item in AtlasLoot (Shift+right-click copies the item value).
PvP gear detection via resilience (GetItemStats key match + tooltip fallback):
PvP items shown orange with a PVP tag, audit shows pvp=N, player name orange.
Share summary now reports "PvP Items: N".
Removed the Advanced/Easy dropdown (always easy), the Filter/Status buttons,
the Save One button, and the live queue/ready counts line.
Renamed Report -> Save All; added a Guild share channel.
Player names no longer show the -Realm suffix.
Added a "? Info" help dialog; enlarged the window and tightened spacing.
LFM:
Replaced the class/spec checkbox grid with a Tank/Healer/Melee/Ranged Need
table (count + free-text classes) and per-field clear buttons.
Custom numeric Delay and Repeat inputs, plus Cancel to stop pending posts.
Added a /guild channel checkbox.
Achievements can be linked into the focused LFM box directly from the
Achievement window (hooks HandleModifiedItemClick and the tracking toggle).
Slash:
/ri opens the window; /ri help lists commands; added /ri cancel.
- ?? **Fixed-column gear list** (Slot | Item Name | iLvl | Enchant | Gems) with a header and name truncation.
- ?? **Sort dropdown** (Recent / GS / Issues / Name) and small **icon buttons** for row refresh/remove.
- ?? **Options window**: window **scale slider** + **keybinds** for Target / Raid / Share / Save All / Clear.
- ?? **LFM presets**: save/reload named presets, and **Export/Import** them to other players (accept/decline each in a list).
- ?? **PvP gear detection** (resilience) — orange marking + `pvp=N`, also shown in shared reports.
- ?? Link achievements straight from the Achievement window into the LFM message.
**Install:** unzip so the `RaidInspector` folder lands in `Interface/AddOns`.

Out-of-range players are no longer written off
Anyone who fails to inspect for a temporary reason (not inspectable, unit not
found, unit changed, inspect timeout) is now retried automatically every 15
seconds until they come into range and get inspected. Only players who are
inspectable at that moment are re-queued, so a retry never wastes a queue slot.
The overview now reads "not inspectable, retrying" instead of looking final.
New: Autoscan mode
A toggle button on the Inspector tab, next to Raid (or /ri autoscan [on|off]),
saved per character. While it is on:
the raid is rescanned whenever someone joins or leaves;
and every 10 seconds once the inspect queue has drained, so it never fights
work already in flight;
anyone who leaves the raid is removed from the list automatically, along with
their queued inspect and cached result — the list always matches the raid.
Leaving the raid yourself does not wipe the list, and the manual Raid button is
unaffected and never removes anything.
Autoscan rescans are quiet: no scan summary every 10 seconds, and the current raid
history entry is reused while the roster is unchanged rather than appending a new
entry per scan.
