ICD tracking for dummies
Step 0: Display of aura buttons
The first thing you might want to do is to configure how clcret displays the aura buttons for ICD events. By default it shows a solid button when the ability is ready and when it's active, and makes it completely invisible when on cooldown and not active. I prefer to show the ability even when on cooldown, though with lower opacity. The way to do this is to set the option for '
On cooldown' to '
Faded', like in the picture below.
I'll take Darkmoon Card: Greatness as an example. With these settings clcret will display a solid button when it is ready to proc, as well as during the full duration of the proc. When the proc disappears, in this case after 15 seconds, the button will fade out and become transparent. If you've got an cooldown count addon (like OmniCC) it'll now display that you've got 30 seconds left of the internal cooldown. When the cooldown is done the button lights up again.
Step 1: Finding the information you need
In order to track a proc we need three pieces of information: Its spell ID, internal cooldown and duration. The easiest place to obtain this information is from a WoW database like wowhead or thottbot (I prefer wowhead myself). Simply search for the name of the proc as seen in your buff list in-game, and find the correct one if there are one or more others with the same name. I'll use Greatness as an example again: I've searched for Greatness in wowhead and thottbot, and made sure that I chose the 300 strength version. Finding the spell ID is very simple, as it's written in the URL when you select the right buff:
Greatness - Spell - World of Warcraft
Greatness - Thottbot: World of Warcraft
Those numbers at the end is the spell ID. The spell ID for the 300 strength proc of Greatness is in other words 60229. The duration is always listed on the tooltip of the ability ('
Increases your Strength by 300 for 15 sec.'). Information about the internal cooldown however might be a little harder to come by. The easiest way to find this is to search for the item itself, not the proc, and browse through the comments. More likely then not you'll find information about the internal cooldown there. In this case we'll search for
Darkmoon Card: Greatness, and by reading the comments we quickly learn that its internal cooldown is 45 seconds.
Step 2: Using the information you've found to make an aura button
Now that you've found all the information you need, we can make an aura button for the proc you want to track. First set the type of the button to '
ICD Proc'.
Next we enter the spell ID in '
Spell/item name/id or buff to track' - you'll notice that once you press okay the spell ID changes into the name of the proc. You can't just write the name of the proc initially though, you've got to use the spell ID.
In '
Target Unit' we'll enter the internal cooldown and duration of the proc, formatted like this: internalcooldown:duration. For Greatness this is 45:15. Once you've done this, your aura button is complete. All you've got to do now is to tweak its size, location etc. to your liking.
Bonus step: Making use of the ICD tracker for other abilities/items
As I've mentioned before, the 'ICD Proc' classification isn't actually limited to just internal cooldowns - if you want the same kind of functionality for other spells/items, where the ability fades out when on cooldown and lights up when available/active, that's possible to do. You quite simply do the same steps as when adding an actual internal cooldown proc, but replaces the internal cooldown with an actual cooldown.
I'll use Avenging Wrath as an example. You make a new aura button, and set its type to 'ICD Proc'. Enter the spell ID (31884) just like we've done before. Then we enter 120:20 into 'Target unit' - we simply replace what's normally an internal cooldown with an actual cooldown. You'll now have an aura button which tracks Avenging Wrath with the same behavior as buttons tracking internal cooldowns. The advantage of doing this for all of your buttons is that abilities you should pay attention to are more visible, while abilities on cooldowns are de-emphasized.
