Znor's Addon Spotlight #5: ForteXorcist

[Zenor]

Good day everyone!

Woohoo, I made it in time! This time I'll discuss a spell-timer addon, one of many, which I've been using for quite some time now.

Note:
The headers of the addons are actually links to the website where you'll be able to download the addon or check for more information.

ForteXorcist:

This addon was originally written as a warlock addon, so it has some additional features that aren't usable for other classes. The main part of it, though, are the Spell Timer and the Cooldown Timer.

Spell and Cooldown Timer

The top most bars in this picture are the Spell Timers, simply a bar containing the name of the target it's on, the icon of the spell to the left and the time remaining to the right. On DoTs, ForteX will also display a white vertical line on the bar, indicating when a next DoT will tick. (Configurable to show all DoT ticks, instead of only the next tick)

ForteX will also fade a bar out if the target you have currently selected is not the target of the spell on that bar. So in this example, the player has the Master's Training Dummy targeted with 4 debuffs on it.

Underneath those spells are a bunch of buffs you have thrown on yourself. Personally I have those disabled, to reduce cluttering.

The bar all the way at the bottom is the Cooldown Timer. It's not particularly useful for most classes, though I've seen a Hunter from Ensidia use it to time his CDs, but it looks fancy. Since it barely takes up any space, I kept it so people who watch me raid have something pretty to look at

What it does, is show all cooldowns and self-applied buffs on this bar. The bar is completely configurable. In this example the bar is set to a maximum of 60 seconds. All buffs/cooldowns longer than 60 seconds will stick to the right side of the bar, until they have less than 60 seconds remaining. After that, they will gradually slide to the left, increasing in speed when they pass a tag.
(For math nerds: the bar is on a logarithmic scale)

Warlock features:

The special warlock features in this addon are:
Soulshard tracker - Shows the amount of shards of all warlocks. This only works if you have raid assist, or otherwise only for other warlocks with this addon.
Soulstone tracker - I use this alot, it simply tracks who has soulstoned who, and what is the remaining cooldown. This will also show Divine Intervention, Druid's CR, and Shaman Ankh for people with this addon or with oRa2
Summon Assistant - Useless, shows people who are not in the same instance as you.
Healthstone Spy - If you have raid assist, show the amount of people who have healthstones, so you can make more when necessary.

Soulstone Manager

That's all for today. Now I know there are plenty of spell/cooldown timers out there. So far I have found this to be one of the best, and it includes some nifty warlock stuff to boot!

I`m not a true one...i didn`t notice it though i didn`t try to figure it. It just didn`t occur to me to think about it ><
Anyway, i just found it a bit buggy (on fast target swapping) when i was using it so i changed it to eventhorizon

If (like me) you only want it for the cooldown timer I'd recommend SexyCooldown. It's much more lightweight.
