DotIt

Addon is also able to display cooldowns and short buffs as a own bar!

At first this seems to be like another bar addon for dots. In fact thats true but with a big difference.

The difference is that you have a scale where you can compare the times. That means that one second is on every bar the same length (which does not mean that there is a fixed pixel size for one second, but only that you don't have the 100% style bars here).

So you may think that this is not such a big improvement over the normal style but if you want to visually compare the bars without looking at times and then decide which one will run at first, then this addon may be helpful to you.

For example if you have a timer that has duration of 10 seconds so the bar starts with 100% and another bar which is 1 second long and starts at 100% then you have to look at the time instead of only looking at the bars.

Here the bar with 1 second duration starts at the 1 second mark and is lets say 10 pixel long and the other bar with 10 seconds is 10*10pixel long and so you can easily say, without even knowing the time, that the shorther bar will run out first.

The mod itself creates one bar for every mob. So it is possible to track the time of dots on different mobs.

The addon comes with a good amount of pre defined spells but is is no problem to define your own Spells. You only need the following to do that:

• SpellID: you can get this from wowhead:
  For example if we want to know the id of Eclipse Rank 1 we go to wowhead and search for it and the browser will display the following URL: http://www.wowhead.com/?spell=48516. Take the higlighted part and input it into the spellid field.
• Lua Code that returns the duration of the spell: This sounds a bit complicated but is not. Your code only has to return the time of the spell. So in this case Eclipse has a 15 second duration. So we type:
  return 15.
  
  For the more advanced users:
  
  If you want to get your combo points do not use the Blizzard API as it won't work (you have 0 combo points when you use a spell that uses CPs). Use DotIt:GetComboPoints() instead!
  There are also the following functions which might help you (if you need to check for gear or glyphs)
  DotIt:scanItem(id) returns true if the item with the id is found
  DotIt:checkGlyph(id) returns true if the SPELL! of the glyph is found (you can find the spell that belongs to a glyph on wowhead under the "Uncategorized spells" tab. For example if you want to find the spell that belongs to Glyph of Rupture: http://www.wowhead.com/?spell=56801)
