Feedback: Cooldown Manager in 11.1.5

[Blackberry-11784 (Blackberry)]

Thanks for the feedback - keep it coming.

There’ve been some suggestions about Essential elements that could potentially be removed. In many cases those Essentials are there to show when you get an icon glow or a spell replacement. The idea is that players used to using Action Bars are used to seeing those effects on their action bar abilities, and we want them to continue to see that information in the manner they’re used to instead of switching to using Tracked Buff elements for them.

Overall, we feel that having additional Essential elements is less distracting than extra bars or buffs, since they aren’t appearing or disappearing and information about them always shows up in the same place. That said, we’ll look into whether we can hide some Essentials if you don’t have talents that make showing them relevant.

• Rebuke shows a 3 second timer even when it did not interrupt anything.
• Hammer of Justice shows up next to Light’s Deliverance in edit mode, but it doesn’t actually show there when you use it.

We’ll look into the Rebuke glow - may be a bug. What you’re seeing next to Light’s Justice in Edit Mode isn’t Hammer of Justice. Might be another bug.

My feedback is from a Moonkin perspective that uses WA, ElvUI, & Plater to create a minimalist UI & limit visual noise.

Lots of good notes and suggestions here.

• We’ll add combat resurrection abilities like Rebirth to Utilities so you can see their cooldowns.
• Incapacitating Roar will be fixed.
• Combining Eclipses and CA / Incarn into one bar is an interesting idea. We looked into it but there are some technical limitations. We’ll keep it our list for future improvements.
• We’re looking into what icons appear for effects like Clearcasting and Owlkin Frenzy.

As a Resto Druid:

Awesome post - I’ve passed on your feedback for review.

@Ysxbel-frostmourne

I need to be able to track rend, see stacks of demolish I have built up… I also can’t see the duration of colossus smash/warbreaker, sweeping strikes, die by the sword, beserker rage, etc.

Will look into adding stacks for Colossal Might. You can see the durations for Sweeping Strikes, Die By the Sword, and Bereserker Rage on their ability icons. The tool doesn’t show debuff information so can’t show information about Rend or Colossus Smash.

@Bloodmallet-maelstrom

Call of the Ancestor shows the duration of Ancestors. Except randomly spawned ones. Or resummoned ones. Also each spawn should probably have their own bar tbh.

Giving them all their own bar would be a lot of bars, but we’ll look into showing the bar when an ancestor is present for any reason.

Frost Mage feedback for cooldown manager:

Thanks so much for this - passing it on. We’ll update the Cooldown Manager in response to class changes in the future so that it continues to show relevant information.

@Vane-thrall

I am an outdoor/delve player and a mild Weak Aura user (around 20-30 total) and it will replace several I can tell. That being said, I broke my feedback into categories.

Love this breakdown, thank you. I’ve passed it on to the relevant folks.
