Loot, I see you've added in some things regarding weapon swapping in your HUD.
How does this work and can we also use it by editing some things?

Crap, I had no intention to let that functionality go public... but I guess if I delete it now someone will just reupload...
See, I made it just so I see if I can make it work, not to be used really, because blizz will just nerf it if it is automatic like that... I'm not using it either, but tested that it works, this whole addon is a try to see if I can write an addon.
If you want to check it out, edit:
local WEAPON_SWAP={
{"Steel Bladebreaker","Combatant's Bootblade"},
{"Lionhead Slasher","Rune-Etched Nightblade"}
}
With your weapons, first line is for first talent spec, 2nd - for the second one. You first put your IP weapon, then DP weapon and you can enable/disable with /rh swap
And don't use automatic stuff, I'll make sure it is gone in next version if not nerfed by then

Can someone advise reasonable and updated addon that tracks internal CDs of trinkets and a good enemy castbar tracking addon (especially that can track not focused enemies such as Anubarak adds shadowstrike.)

I use Procodile for tracking the ICD.
It's a bit unintuitive when setting up, but it was the only one I found doing what I wanted it to do, placing a bar like NeedToKnow on my screen with the cooldown. Also it doesn't come with a lot of useless other stuff.

Also there's a flaw that its icon just won't disappear from the minimap.

SexyMap can probably hide the icon for you (it hides basically everything until I hover the minimap)

Quartz is the popular one, lets you set up a focus cast bar if that's what you are looking for in addition to the typical player, target, pet, etc. cast bars.

Sorry, I misread what you originally asked, I read "not focused" and thought "not targeted". DBM has a timer and cast alert for shadow strike, if that isn't what you're wanting to use powerauras will let you set up a cast alert for shadow strike, or you can just turn nameplates on.

Semi-Off-Topic response.

I tried Quartz but found it less configurable than some alternatives, given that it liked to display repetitive information. Lighter on resources and easily configured is; AZ Castbar.

My [Death's Verdict] works just fine. Of course, you first have to enter its buff name (Paragon). It won't work out of the box without configuration.

For ICD timers you can use InternalCooldowns. Then you just slap a shortcut to your trinket (even if it's macro'd) somewhere on a hotbar and it'll show you its ICD at any given time after use.

As far as tracking Shadow Strike from the Burrowers without setting a focus, I use a set of boss mods called Deus Vox (although I'm pretty sure DBM tracks this as well...) I just recently started using Deus Vox along with many of my fellow raiders and I personally like it a lot more than Deadly Boss Mods.

The problem with such a solution is that you don't have the information where you need it. I wanted an addon that displays the ICD where my other proc bars are, near the center of the screen. And the only one I've found doing this was Procodile.
Ok, ForteXorcist also had some neat stuff, but it was waaaay too bloated for such a 'simple' task.

For a very simple set of ICD bars which can go right in the middle with your proc bars, you can try Heatsink - Addons - Curse. It's easy to configure and use, and is not bloated at all like Procodile. It essentially has one purpose: to track ICDs.

Try SexyCooldown. It's not just for internal cooldowns, but you can configure it so that it only does internal cooldowns if you have another method for tracking your abilities' cooldowns. It's a logarithmic-scaled bar (think Forte).

Thanks, will try that.
Interesting, I've search for hours and tried multiple addons, but never stumbled across HeatSink. It doesn't even show up on Curse when searching for 'cooldowns', despite being tagged with it.
Note to myself: Curse doesn't consider tags for searches, unless they're specifically stated in advanced search.

HeatSink doesn't work out of the box with the new ToC trinkets. It relies on LibInternalCooldowns, which is included with an older version.
If you replace it with the most recent version available here however, it will work.
Trying it out tonight.

Just a warning to people who are interested in ICD tracking - I use Need To Know (the latest updated version with spec swapping/etc), and combined with Heatsink it just tore up my framerate. I played around with various combinations of addons till I found that it was those two, and then disabled Heatsink and everything went back to normal.

Consistency. It's only a virtue if you're not a screwup.

Uh, might be worth checking out then. I've noticed lower FPS as well lately and was wondering why.

Hello guys,

I've picked up a second Heroic Lionhead Slasher last night, so I decided to give a try to that weapon swapping.
Firstly, I've bound 2 keys for different ItemRack sets (Wound OH and Deadly OH), and I tried the addon "Poison Swapper".
I've spent some time on the dummy, and I noticed that the addon is buggy and doesn't swap OH if you have it twice.
Is this any method to fix that ?

And to not make a new post, is it weapon swapping worth it if you're not expertise capped ?

Thanks

The way I tested it was that I noticed a significant and complete frame lockup when swapping specs on my priest and my hunter (I'm talking like 10+ seconds of complete hard lock), so it was pretty easy to test and find out what was going wrong.

Maybe I'll have to get into the NTK code and see if I can't hack the heatsink ICD tracking into creating NTK bars. I'd love that and certain spellcooldowns in NTK styled bars.

Hm, switching back and forth between Heatsink and Procodile showed no notable difference in FPS for me.

My guild is kinda not raiding these days, lack of ppl, but did small update to RogueHUD to fix some problems:

RogueHUD Update 7:
- Fixed inability to move error frame
- Restored current weapon display functionality again
- Something I can't remember

Loot, is there any way to turn off the finisher function and the error frame? I've looked through the code a bit, but really have little clue as to what things do.
