Which specs/classes require active stack/buff tracking?

Since the PRD doesn’t track buffs and such anymore, and I have a ton of alts that I only casually and haven’t looked at all the midnight changes for, I will need to set up the CDM specifically for stack buff tracking (I don’t use it for anything else). It seems BM hunter won’t be tracking barbed shots or beast cleave, but what other changes there are I need assistance with.

Please let me know what specs/classes require the tracking of certain stacks and buffs that require active focus and reapplication (so activate and forget, or ones where the spell has a buff the same length as its cd aren’t necessary).

Warrior-Fury: Whirlwind

Paladin-Prot: Consecration (probably not needed due to emptiness in rotation making it a regular button press anyway, but I’ll test)

Enhancement Shaman: Maelstrom Weapon and Raging Maelstrom.

Why wouldn’t you want to track them? I haven’t played much BM so far because I think it’s bad, but I did add those two to the tracked buffs pile.

None of them require addon tracking.

I do still track DnD on BDK in the CD manager. I used to use WAs for it.

Unless I am missing something, Barbed doesn’t provide a stat boost per stack like it used to, its just a dot. Beast cleave duration is 8 seconds but its cooldown is also 8 seconds, so as long as its on cd you’re good.

Frost Mage wants to know if it has Thermal Void or not, that’s about it.

I guess. There is still master handler, where it reduces the kill command CD each time it does damage. Having it in the tracked buffs would just be reassurance that I have it ticking somewhere. And beast cleave, I’m sometimes just forgetful about pushing the button for wild thrash. Seeing the beast cleave buff tick down is the same as seeing the cooldown for wild thrash tick down.

Like I said though, I haven’t really played a lot of the new BM. But having options is always better than not.
