I agree with all the other solutions for this. I'm about 90% sure that OmniCC does this as well if you enable it to "flash" when cooldowns are up. I can't confirm in-game until later tonight, however. If you don't want to actually time the GCD but just want to know when other shots are available, this is a nice option.

Edit: another vote for OPie. I've used it to shove some of my consummables off of action bars and onto OPie rings. Same goes for professions.

Other then Power Auras, is there anything else out there that will give me pet low health warnings or let me place my pet health bar in a better location?

Pretty much any unit frame mod will let you put stuff wherever you like so that you can see it, and will color things appropriately as well.

Personally, I use a HUD so that both my HP & my pet's HP are just to the left of my toon at all times during combat. No need to look away.

MSBT will give you a pet health warning. It's pretty much the best scrolling combat text addon out there anyway, so you should get it.

It also has a swing timer if you're trying to autoshot while running from certain bosses.

so, I downloaded this addon and tried it out a bit on the dummys. But where is the swing timer? I really need a swing timer for autoshot.

Edit: well nvm. I tried Quartz and it's running fine. I guess im gonna use Quartz instead.

I personally prefer AzCastBar by far. You download the main addon and then you download plugins to your liking (there's a link to them from the site where u download the main addon), amongst those are a swingtimer. No need to download everything, just pick from the plugins u want.

Edit: Link for main addon - AzCastBar : WoWInterface Downloads : Casting Bars and Cooldowns
and for plugins - AzCastBar Plugins : WoWInterface Downloads : Plug-Ins & Patches

Anyone know of an addon that will track both Cooldowns and Debuffs in the same group of bars? I'm trying to establish a way I can have all of the prioritized cooldowns and debuffs in the same group. For instance, Serpent Sting and Arcane Shot. I've been using DoTimer, which has separate groups of bars for cooldowns and debuffs. However, I have not been able to figure out a way to have everything managed in one group of bars.

I've tried out several addons including TellMeWhen, NeedToKnow, ClassTimers and the Hunter specific mod. If anyone knows of a good one, I'd appreciate it. Otherwise, this might be the addon I might finally sit down and try to write.

EventHorizon does what you're asking for but may not present the sort of interface you'd prefer. Depends whether you want bars all reducing to a consistent vertical point or you can live with a DDR world view.

One addon that may help you in having everything in one place is Watcher. It basically loads everything you need to know on an importance based stack.

Just tested the addon out. Overall It compares nicely with event horizon however there was a bug I had with it. Anytime I zoned it would disappear. Background would remain but actual shots were completely missing. Also was the case with initial setup. Only way to fix the issue is to relog.

is there an add on that can keep track of focus regeneration? Even if it is not in game, per say. I am trying to keep an eye on it with a HUD, but it not quite what I am looking for.

Iru · 05/22/09, 2:20 AM

MikScrollingBattleText will let you watch pet focus regen numbers scroll up your screen if you ask it nicely.

Has anyone seen any addons that will display the attack power at which a serpent sting is ticking at (For MM), so I can decide if I need to reapply serpent with 4pc T8 bonus or greatness proc.

Kargos · 05/23/09, 7:16 AM

Doesn't that just refresh the current sting and not update the amount it will be ticking for?

Blizz changed this mechanic with 3.0.8; SrS stopped being this incredibly powerful rolling DoT (hunters would focus on an 'AP on Use' trinket for this reason, so they would buff SrS at the start of an encounter). Every time you fire a Chimera Shot now it looks at your current AP and make the SrS refresh accordingly. In other words; no need for an addon to do what you asked.
