Fire Mage addon

No longer need the rolling Ignite alert, but is there a good, simple addon to track combustion charges and Imp. Scorch duration (synced through a group)?

As of 2.1, the Scorch duration will (probably, there's some uncertainty in the language and I haven't tested it) be available via UI, so something like DebuffFilter (which is being updated for 2.1!) will be able to display debuff duration.

Meantime, necb does halfway decent Fire Vuln tracking (it isn't perfect, but it isn't bad).

DebuffFilter may not do everything that you are looking for but I do highly recommend it as a Fire Mage. Being able to relocate certain key debuffs to a sizable frame located elsewhere is certainly valuable.

It's also nice for buffs; I use it to track Spellstrike/Wizardry procs, and I'm sure I'll toss Quag's Eye in there when the time comes.

Yeah after playing on the test server it's hard to live without the "clockface" debuff timer they added. Being able to pull it out and make it bigger for key debuffs like North said would be really nice as well.

Is there a way to add the scorch debuff to CE/Natur ECB? I'm used to looking there for all buff/debuff info.

NECB works as well. Can customize it to include nothing else if you want.

That'd be ideal, but apparently you can only query durations for 'your' debuffs - I would guess the most likely thing is the scorch stack is owned by the person who started it only, like ignite. I haven't tested this either...

Derail: any word on how much haste quag's eye gives in 2.1 (or equivalently, the new spell haste conversion)? The passive is very nice in any case, but if it ends up being only slightly better than Xi'ri's then might not be worth the naga.

If you use NECB to monitor your imp scorch debuffs, it helps to also use something like oTweak to extend the range of your combat log. This will allow NECB to register the debuff even when you are standing at max range.

I use NECB.

I track my scorch debuff so I can keep a better fireball to scorch ratio.

NECB is also useful for winter's chill and being able to track the your sheep (with GREAT accuracy ) and several of the raids other CC's and other affects.

Anyone got a link for oTweak, I just can't seem to find it anywhere?
