I’m trying to find a good multi-target dot timer. At a minimum, I’d like to be able to see the remaining duration on the dots on all mobs which are affected by my dots, sorted by target. Ideally, there would be a visual indication of ideal pandemic refresh times. In an absolutely perfect world, I’d be able to click on the panels to select the relevant mob, though I think this might be impossible with the API available in this game.
I’ve tried ellipsis, and it’s close, but not perfect. Any suggestions for other addons or WeakAuras scripts that people are using?
Thanks, all! Happy Hunting!
There used to be an addon that created unitframes that you could interact with in the way you are describing but Blizzard decided that it made multi-dotting too simple and they would need to balance around the existence of those addons so they “broke” that possibility (I never got the chance to try it out, and I’m a liiiittle salty, but I am fine with it no longer working if it would have had too negative of an impact on the game).
There are addons now that will create frames with all of this information that you cannot interact with so you could only use it to track dot timers but couldn’t refresh dots with them if that would be helpful for you.
There is an Addon called Nugrunning and it has a really unique function that I think is awesome: You can choose specific debuffs (such as all of your DoTs) to display as a bar, attached to each enemy’s nameplate, that runs out rather than the usual square debuff with a circle timer. This addon also lets you track all DoTs you have active on the side of your screen like I described earlier in the post (but you cannot reDoT with these frames, just track) if you don’t want the Nameplate DoT bars. Personally, I have found the nameplate functionality of this addon to be a little too overwhelming as an Affliction Warlock because everything “blends” together for me but when I am playing my elemental shaman it is perfect because I am only tracking Flame Shock and can follow it easier. I think the main thing I like about is simply it just displaying these debuffs as a bar helps me personally get the info I need instantly since its the only type of bar tracker I have on my screen.
What I am currently trying on my Warlock is a Plater Nameplate profile I downloaded from Wago that makes the nameplate flash purple when Agony is running low and needs to be reapplied. I am unsure if there are any that interact with multiple DoTs but a quick glance makes it seem like people have made profiles for either Agony or Corruption and not multiple, so maybe this would only be a partial help for you.

just use a nameplate addon like kui nameplates or tiddyplates

Plater, Shadowed Unit Frames, Omni CC is a good combo
Personally I use kui nameplates and luxthos wa package and it’s pretty easy to track with a flash on the wa for pandemic refresh
