AzCastBar is a highly customizable and lightweight casting bar replacement addon with support for saved profiles and plugins.

Originally comes with the following plugins: casting bar for player, target, focus and pet, as well as a mirror bar. The Mirror Bar is the one which shows breath, feign death and fatigue.

The option dialog along with the saved profiles are Load on Demand, which means it will only be loaded and take up memory once you open the Options.

The player cast bar supports safe zone indication for both cast and channeled spells. This is basically your latency, when the spellcast has passed this point, you can safely cancel the cast and have the spell still fire.

The slash command for AzCastBar is "/acb". Using it will open the the option dialog.

You can clear all plugin settings and reset them to their defaults by using the slash command "/acb wipeconfig". This does not affect the saved profiles.

AzCastBar is build up around the possibility to add more bars with different functions.
Normal castbar and mirror bars are in the core part of the addon.

The plugin package for this addon which you can dowmload includes the following plugins:
  • Player Buff Timers
  • Target Debuff Timers
  • Loot Roll Timers
  • Battleground Timers
  • Flight Timer
  • Swing Timer
  • Totem Timers
  • Shaman Timers

Only install the plugins which you need. As some of them might disable things in your user interface. An example would be the loot roll timers, this plugin disable the normal loot roll windows.

Lacking Features, Ideas & Problems
- Target Debuff Timers Plugin: I plan on adding a filter to this, so you can filter out any buffs you do not want to clutter up the bars.
- Player Buff Timers Plugin: Both buffs and debuffs are shown on the same bar config, there is no option for people who wish to show debuffs seperate to buffs.

AzCastBar Changes 2009 May 17
- Auras: Better showing of who cast the buffs and debuffs, as it could sometimes show wrong info for those cast by out of group people.
- Auras: The option to show pet auras will now also include vehicle auras.
- Auras: Added option to select the label format. Possible options are, name & stack, name only and stack only.
- Core: Changed the table recycler, this will affect some plugins, so they require an update.

AzCastBar Changes 2009 Apr 27
- Auras: Buff and Debuff tooltips will now from who you gained it.
- Options: Added an option to reverse the statusbar growth. You can find it under "Appearance".
- Options: A statusbar spark option has been added under "Appearance". Plugins does not have to support this, it will automatically be positioned by the core. Furthermore, until the option for showing a spark is enabled, the texture widget is not even created.

AzCastBar Changes 2009 Apr 19
- CastBar: Removed the real time latency option for the safe zone, which was added in the last release. The reason for this is simple, the first cast you do, the time it shows will be good, a real time latency. But when doing back to back chain casting, you actually send the cast request before the previous cast ends, thus showing the supposedly "real time latency" way too high. As there is no good way to avoid this, I've removed the option.
- CastBar: Merged trades should now fade out when completed.
- Auras: Removed some pre 3.1 code for the self auras only filter.
- Options: Corrected a bug that could cause a color option to generate an error when clicked.
