Shaman Riptide HOT timer?

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.

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.

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.

I use hotcandy. It's very small and concise.

I use a combination of ForteXorcist, GridStatusHots and PowerAuras to keep track of mine. ForteXorcist and PowerAuras tells me how long until RT is off cooldown, while Grid shows me through a fancy icon who it's currently ticking on.

As Cranberries said a few posts ago Healbot does a great job of keeping track of riptide hots and shields and it's simple. The only problem i've had with Healbot is that when i enter a random dungeon or BG it does not display hots i've applied to people from any server differant from my own. Does anyone know if this issue has been addressed in a recent update to Healbot or if any of the other addon suggestions made in this thread do not suffer from such an issue? It doesn't bother me so much when healing on my shaman but when i heal on my druid it becomes a fairly annoying issue.

Does this work with 4 set bonus T10, the chain heal procc ? didn´t get it to work proper.. the CDs i have other addons for. just need a track addon so i can see who my CH-hots are currently healing.

Many thanks

I don't currently have the 4 piece set, so I can't test it, but you should be able to set up an icon from within Grid (or PowerAuras) that shows when the Chain Heal buff is active on raid members.
The only problem I can see with this is that Grid might go crazy when you cast Chain Heal on somebody. When I get my 4-piece, I'll be able to test this out, but that's a few weeks away.

I think class timers can be adjusted to show Riptide to you regardless of target. Sort of a weird request knowing that you'll have it on 2 people at the most.

My shamanism is rusty so please correct me if I'm wrong.

I find that PitBull AuraBar works wonders with tracking HoTs on players in your raid. It can track both Buffs and Debuffs so can also be used for example to track weakened soul + power word: shield when playing my priest.

The biggest disadvantage of it is it will only track the buffs / debuffs you apply to the target which when playing disc with another in the raid can get frustrating but for a shammy I find it works a treat. (Unless I have been doing something wrong and it can search for other peoples as well?)

You can see my housemate using it to great effect as a druid here
