28 - HoT tracking?
What is the enhancement in mind? How should it look and feel?
I use a lot of HoT's, and often find it difficult to track who the HoT is still ticking on, and who it isn't. I would really love if this could keep track of when I cast a HoT and who I was targeting. Then just start a timer (depending on what I cast) and color the border around the person till the timer is up. I don't care that the timer is visible to me, just that it knows when to remove the colored border. Basically I could try and keep HoT's active on more than one person, and easily tell when one fell off.
Now obviously I have more than one HoT with different lengths. It would be enough if it just showed the colored border as long as ANY HoT I cast is still active on the person. With even that information I can still try and manage my HoT's better. If someone could suggest a way of keeping track of individual HoT's, so I could tell that one feel off but not the other, I just can't picture how it would work right now. I don't want it cluttered with lots of icons or anything.
Please provide any additional information below.

If that can be implemented, then you can close this ticket as it would be redundant. If however restrictions prevent that from being possible, I would still like some form of HoT tracking for multiple targets.

phain Sep 25, 2008 at 18:22 UTC - 0 likesWe need some kind of addon that tracks whatever buffs or debuffs you want. Not just on your current target, but on all targets that you've casted something on. Whether you're a Sorceress DoTing people, Magus debuffing people, or Disciple HoTing people, this addon would be amazing. Having the freedom to choose what kind of buff to track, or if even possible, what name of the buffs to track would be an absolute blessing. It takes so long for the buffs/debuffs to load when targeting someone :(
