I am looking for an addon that will help me with offensive dispels. The perfect one would allow me to bind a mouse click to a frame for dispels. The frame would have all opposing players on it. Sort of like arena frames, but with the ability to bind mouse clicks.
Also it would be nice if there was an addon that woulld announce only specific spells like ice block and divine shield (configurable).

I noticed the new Proximo2 has options for right clicking, middle mouse clicking, mouse4,5 button etc, to invoke a macro. This might work for dispelling? As for tracking, maybe a mod like antagonist set to filter for only the spells your interested in tracking. You can track the duration and the CD too so you can get a feeling of when they're about to pop it.

It looks like you are running Bongos. Try disabling the Bongos casting bar module.

I have been using the addon called; 'Cooldown Count' for some time now and never really been able to configure it.

(right side)

In my case I haven't been able to configure it trough Rock and I am really wondering how I get it to work properly. I got iFrame(manager) installed and I do know the option /ifm to unlock/lock it.

Is there anything I am missing at this moment?

Really like the look of this addon so I hope someone can help me.

Been working on this UI for quite a while now, but I've come to the point where I think I'm gonna need some help. Anyways, what im looking to do is have the buff bars(quartz) circled in yellow to be visible for "Player" but there is no such option in quartz. Is there anyway to edit the lua file in quartz so that all the Buffs->Focus settings could be altered to Buffs->Player? (as per the screenshot I have myself focused and this is the exact visual I'm looking for but without having myself focused of course.)

Also, I cant seem to get my cowtip alignment to go to the right anymore? any suggestions on that?

@ 350: I'm pretty sure CooldownCount just shows a number on your action buttons. I don't remember the name of the addon you're talking about (above your minimap, right?).

[e] It's coolDown | World of Warcraft Addons | World of Warcraft @ Curse.com. There's a guide on the site.

Hello,

I downloaded a mod pack that I'm really comfortable with, except for one thing: I use the key 'alt' to self cast very frequently, and when I press it it changes my bars to alternate bars.

I use bartender.

This is how my bars look if I don't have anything pressed:

As soon as I press 'alt', this happens:

any idea of what might be causing this?

thanks

Something to do with button paging.

Head into whichever bar you got at the top in Bartender options, open up the extended menu and go into Button Paging. The Alt modifier should be on the first slider, change it to zero or whatever that main bar is.

Alternatively, disabled the button paging for that bar altogether.

So i modified hal's ui for my own tastes but for some reason my sltimex has disappeared. Like it doesn't tell me my time, durability, gold count, or anything that mod should do. It was there in the beginning now its gone. But it does show up in my /rock config of all my mods. And also my honor fu doesn't show the amount of honor i have earned anymore or an icon that it should have.

I am using parrot, pitbull, and dogtags, but none of the dogtag [tags] are showing any info, just exactly what I type into the [Tab] field in the "Heal" or "Skill damage" sections.

Do I need to enable something in pitbull/parrot to get them to display the info of "[NumAura(Deadly Poison VII)]?

What I'm trying to do is make all incoming heals and damage on pitbull show me my health%.

I also would like target's health% after my damaging skills.

Most, though, I would like it to display the number of stacks of deadly poison on my target when I gain combo points.

I thought adding the line "[NumAura(Deadly Poison VII)] DP" would change the output of combo point gain to "# CP / # DP, but it just shows the exact text "[NumAura(Deadly Poison VII)]"....

Any ideas?

Hello and thanks for reading this.

There are numerous add-on sites and unlimited add-ons to pick from. Since I play very different classes (heal/melee/caster) I cannot make a nice slick UI even if I would like. But I get by with loose add-ons positioned on screen.

What would make my life alot easier is the following and I cant find it anywhere (I searched long and hard).

An add-on that gives me a countdown timer ON the actual button (standard blizzard bars in my case). And for the short buffs/abilities.

Since a lot of debuffs/buffs/cc/shouts run on short time (30sec or less) it's always a waste of mana/rage/energy to apply them to early and an even bigger shame to apply to late... It's a pain to watch the debuffs on a boss and the timers on my own buffs I miss because I'm watching my bars and the fight and all the other stuff I need to do when I lead a raid. Since I watch the buttons already it would be a god-send if I could see when something runs out at the same time.

A countdown on the actual button would let me know the best moment to use 'Rampage' again, when to 're-sheep' or when to 'judge a seal' on the boss for example.

I found many add-ons that give me bars that show this but it would fill my screen even more and give me yet another thing/place to watch. And I did found almost the thing I need but that add-on (OmniCC, OmniCC - Interface Additions - World of Warcraft Mods, Addons, and More! ) only shows cooldowns in time, on the button, for longer duration abilities like 'heartstone' or 'avenging wrath'

If I could I would make it myself, but I cant sadly.

Does anyone here know an add-on that can do this or maybe a UI kinda thing that has this option?

ClassTimers should work for what you're looking for.

The complete inability to move or change anything(and when that means tooltips are in the middle of the screen...thats gg)

hahah yea thats my only problem with it and i have like no experience with Lua.

I am having some issues with texture scaling for textures with thin lines around them. I am using Rothar's UI with the minigloss.tga as the border for buttons. However, as you can see from the image, the bottom line of the top row of middle buttons is missing, as are several parts of the right-side button borders. Does anyone know how to counteract this?

The border is of course supposed to go all the way around the icon, but sometimes, for an unknown reason, it doesn't.
