Dot timer

sjs47855 · #1 07-31-2008, 08:42 PM

so i browsed through the forums and through the downloads and couldnt come up with any answer. however it has been a long day so i could have just been blind. i used to play wow and had a dot timer that would show me bars of all the dots i currently had on a target as well as a bar that counted down and got smaller as the dot was wearing off. i know we have the maintained spells window that shows this but i have a hard time with that since you have to browse through every spell there. is there a dot timer currently available or is it possible to make a mod like this if there isnt currently one? would greatly help as i play a coercer and never can seem to find how long until mezz wears off. thanks in advance!!

I know this is part of Profit. You could download that. If you're looking for a standalone, try Seagoats Spells

not quite what i was looking for. both of those contain the maintained spells. i only want my dots or hots dispalyed. an addon like this

Nothing to my knowledge exist like that but it can be done, in my opinion. Why though when you have the maintained window.

What can be done (pretty easily) is an additional maintained window which displays only those spells with timers - of course this covers more than HoTs and DoTs, e.g. your horse, but this is what we could do. I'd have to agree on the why? though, because those spells will be at the bottom or your maintained window anyway, just scroll the others out of the way (at least in ProfitUI, the DefaultUI is no longer scrollable).

basically the reasoning i would like for this is because it is easier for me to be able to have a small bar or something like to pop up after i cast say chain, or mezz or a dot to know when it will be running out. i understand we have this available in the maintained window however on my warlock i have lots of buffs that i place on people so its hard for me if in in a raid or group and have to react fast to be able to read through everything. sometimes if im casting away and my chain breaks i dont notice until the mob runs over and almost one shots me. i just think it would be a handy thing for some people to be able to have it clearly state just the dots, hots, etc they have on a mob. and to not have to worry that maybe they looked at a short term buff they had on a person instead of a mob.

ps. the addon i have listed from wow also allows a person that lets say has chain or charm on a target to shift click on the dot timer and it will say as a macro type thing in your chat how long that spell is going to last on a mob. which is very handy also. not sure if that could be added as i had read nothing like that is allowed.
