About CombustionHelper

The goal of this addon is to allow easy optimizing of the mage talent Combustion. It tracks all relevant Dots on your target, your cooldown of Combustion so you'll be able to use the talent with maximum effectiveness.

To summarize the new talent : it will add a new Dot on effect on your target which will be equal to the sum of Ignite and Pyroblast Dots.

With this addon, you'll know if one of your Dot is missing.

CombustionHelper is composed of the main addon and 2 bundled other addons : CauterizeCooldown and MageBombTracker. Here is their main features :

CombustionHelper main addon:

  • Automatic switch depending if combustion is in your spellbook or not.
  • Autohide out of combat is off by default, use config panel to configure it. You can choose between no autohide, autohide out of combat or autohide when combustion is on cd.
  • Reset variables option because i know some of you like to bug the thing by switching options while in combat/autohide is running and stuff. If you bug it, just reset and log off so you start with a clean state.
  • Option to hide all config messages in chat.
  • Dot tick damage report mode. This is not the expected combustion damage report because of the complexity of ignite, rather an information about how much damage the last tick did so you know if it's powerful enough.
  • Pyroblast/Hot Streak report mode which will warn you when wasted an Hot Streak proc will letting it be refreshed before getting used and at end of combat will report number of refreshed Hot Streak.
  • Timer for Combustion Dot on target.
  • Flamestrike tracker supporting regular flamestrike.
  • Tooltips for option panel settings, no more obscure settings.
  • Ignite munching report, so you know how much damage you lost because of buggy mechanics.
  • Graphical options so you can make it the way you want.
  • Localisation in English, Deutsch, French and Chinese (feel free to report typos…) (thanks to Hambo and Plueschbaer from MMO-C forums for deutsch version)
  • Threshold option to activate color change of background when Ignite cross the specified value.
  • Audio warning when ignite value reach the threshold.
  • Combustion tick damage and number prediction.
  • Missing Pyromaniac buff warning (who wouldn't want 10% more damage on main nuke ?)
  • Heating Up available warning

CauterizeCooldown :

A simple cooldown showing Cauterize cooldown.

You can change the scale, alpha and Frame level. Also enabled by default a timer like OmniCC/CooldownCount. You can choose to autohide the addon when your cauterize is off cooldown. It will autohide too for classes other than mage. Also feature a customizable warning message which can be outputted to vicinity, party, raid or yell channel. There is also another optional warning when Ice Block is up. You can set whatever SharedMedia sound you want as an alert.

MageBombTracker :

This addon track all the new mage bombs and flamestrike cooldown which will be available in patch 5.0.4 and MoP. Previously bundled with CombustionHelper, it's now available as a stand alone addon. It show them with a list which feature :

  • current target marker
  • target name
  • raid marker
  • time remaining

Other nice features are :

  • Alert when missing a bomb
  • Alert when overwriting a bomb before last tick
  • End of fight report

Fully customisable and lightweight, all you need to monitor your bombs !
Available in English and French for now, submit your translation for more.

----------

Changes from 2.xx versions ?

  • No more crit debuff tracking, it's gone for mages.
  • No more support for FrostFire Bolt, useless for Combustion and i doubt anyone used it.
  • No more Impact support, new inferno blast replaced aura procs.

Use Interface Panel -> Addons for full config or /combustionhelper for bringing up directly the option panel.
As always, report me bugs and requests.

    in the graphical options, you should be able to select "none" in the background and border dropdown menu.

  • #729

    Hey Oldchap,

    This add-on is just so great. I have one issue however. I really want to remove the background and border, for a more clean UI. Im looking to Only have my ignite counter without the black backdrop.

    I tried looking for the correct string in CombustionHelper.lua, but i cant seem to nail it.

    Could you either tell me how to do it, or add the option to remove background and border to the add-on?

     

    -Sincerly

    A big fan!

  • #730

    you should be able to do that using the graphical option panel, did you saw it ?

  • #725

    Hello, how can i remove the Red 0 above my head its annoying me ? Which option is this.

    Love the Add On keep up the good work

  • #726

    hhhmmmm, i'm not quite sure anything in combustionhelper could be related to that. can you confirm by disabling combustionhelper in addon list in the login window and check if it's still here ?

  • #728

    Its the tick from each hit Red, Yellow, Green is there a way to move it. Its handy just right above my head. Ive turned Combustion Helper off nothing to do with that.

  • #724

    Any chance this could track Invocation / Rune of Power for those of us who have tendency to forget 'em? Or is there a better option for that? I recently started playing mage and Im at loss with the one minute buffs, constantly forgetting to renew it and thus incurring 15% damageloss for large chunks of fights. Other than that the addon works great for me and actually improved dps quite a bit, so thanks for that.

  • #727

    sorry no, such a feature isn't related to combustion mechanics nor fire spec, if i did such thing i could aswell start tracking every useful mage buff or aura.

  • #722

    Magetracker is still resetting its location to the last one after unlocking, moving and locking again. Any zoning or UI reload, even relogging, sends it back t othe previous location. VERY annoying.

  • #723

    as a temp fix, try and offspec into fire, and then move the combustion square part of the addon to where you want your bomb tracker. it seems that the reset bug always reset the tracker to the attached place on the combust square.

  • #718

    Here's my little problem:

    http://oi46.tinypic.com/2nk86ee.jpg

    As you can see the upper and lower borders are 1 pixel too wide. If you look at the bottom left corner it should be flush with my unit frame, and that's how it was when I set it up. Sometimes when I open the game it looks like it's supposed to but mostly it looks like on the pic. It seems completely random, and changing my settings doesn't do anything. THIS REALLY BOTHERS MY OCD.

     

    My settings are:

    Bar >T<exture: Minimalist

    Text >F<ont: ElvUI Pixel

    Threshold warning: CombustionHelper Volcano (should be capital W in warning in keeping with the two settings above btw)

    Frame border: None  (should be capital B in border)

    Background: None

    Edge Size: 1

    Tile Size: 0

    Bg Insets: 0

     

    I am using 3.4.5

    UPDATE: Switching to the 3.4.6 you posted below didn't help, and it still shows as an out of date addon.

    UPDATE 2: Found a new strange bug. For every /reloadui I do, CombustionHelper creeps something like 5 pixels up the Y-axis. It's cumulative, so I can keep doing /reloadui during a session and end up with CombustionHelper at the top of my screen if I don't manually move it back in place.

    what scale are you using ? both ui setting and combustionhelper

  • #721

    My UI is scaled 1.00

    CombustionHelper was at 149%

    Changing the scale solved the problem, thanks!

    The /reloadui problem persists.
