This looks interesting; I'll download it today and play around with it.


For warlocks it's 100% about what gives the best multi-target support. Dotimer has some quirks/bugs I've never been able to track down well enough to post as bug reports, but that's sort of the minimum performance level for multi-mob tracking right now. I'm not sure how it does it, but it's pretty accurate and you might want to glance over the code for ideas on how to handle mob death, uniqueness, etc. (I have no clue why Blizzard doesn't expose the unique identifiers for units like EQ did; there's no reason using dots should be *that* much harder than heals/nukes/melee beyond the basic micromanagement of maintaining 9-10 spells on various targets.)

Also: one feature dotimer added recently that I love is having tenths of a second display as an option. It's easier for me to time a re-cast via numbers than the arbitrary length of a bar (since I want to recast between seconds one and two.)
