I've been doing a lot of research, but I seem to be having issues finding a Shaman timer for HOTS. I'm looking for something that is capable of tracking Riptide targets and durations. Hotcandy was looking promising until I realized that the error for riptide + glyph still hasn't been fixed.

I've tried a countless number of addons but I have yet to find one that:
- Measures Riptide duration properly with glyph
- Tracks any raid member, not just target or focus
- Lists target name and duration at the same time

Any help would be much appreciated.

Try out ForteXorcist: ForteXorcist (ForteWarlock) : WoWInterface Downloads : Warlock

Qupe:
Just tried it out, looks pretty good, even has nice timers for shields (but I already use ShieldUp! for that). It seems to bug out my earth shield spell timer. Is there a way to filter my spells for the spell timers, or no? I see filters for cooldowns only.

Its just under the coloring area, look for the coloring/filtering header when you click on spelltimers at the bottom of the frame.

you could also try Need To Know, i use it to track flame shock dots, im sure you can set it up to watch riptide ticks as well

I use GridStatusHots to get RT status straight into Grid. You can define thresholds when the Riptide indicator should change color – I have mine set up to change from green to yellow when the HoT part has less than 5.5 seconds to tick to know which target I should refresh next if I'm rolling RT across the raid. The indicator changes to red when it's time to bounce a CH off that target.

This setup doesn't really match your third criteria though, and if you're not a Grid user it might not be worth the hassle to set it up just for this.

Healbot will do all the things you require for your hot timer. It'll track who has riptide and when its about to finish, the icon will start to fade. No need to have anyone targeted as all players will be listed in boxes right on your screen. It'll also show who has your earth shield with the number of charges left as well as what shields other shammies in your group have up. If you have another resto shammy in your group, healbot will show who has their earth shield. Simple and easy to use.

Just wanted to post back and say that the new version of DoTimers now tracks Riptide's duration properly and I would highly recommend it to other Shaman looking to track where their Earthliving procs and Riptide HoTs are, as well as their duration, as well as for a number of other spells/items.
