About HotCandy

HotCandy is a Heal-over-Time tracker initialy designed for Druids, but has grown into a full HoT/Buff tracker for all healing classes.

HotCandy was designed to be very simple and easy to use, with only a handful of options to customize the style of the bars. However its core is powerful and supports all known set bonuses, talents and glyphs that increase the length of your HoTs.

HotCandy is driven solely by the CombatLog events which provide it with all information it needs to display accurate timers for the HoTs you cast on other players (or yourself, of course).

Supported Spells

  • Druids
    • Lifebloom (with stack display)
    • Rejuvenation
    • Regrowth
    • Wild Growth (disabled by default)
  • Priests
    • Renew
    • Power Word: Shield
    • Prayer of Mending (with remaining charges display)
    • Holy Word: Serenity

  • Paladin
    • Beacon of Light
  • Shamans
    • Riptide
    • Ancestral Healing
    • Earthliving (disabled by default)
  • Hunter
    • Mend Pet

    best hot timer out there, was doing great until i got the renew glyph on my priest which shortened the duration of renew from 13 to about 8 and hotcandy still times 13.. could you possibly fix this somehow? would be much appreciated

  • #88

    I used to use this as a Druid, would LOVE it if someone could add Mistweaver functionality to it...  It would be a tremendous help to keep better track of Renewing Mist, leading to optimized use of Uplift.

    Thank you for updating HotCandy. Mine stopped working in the spring and I have to say I was one unhappy treant. 

    Looking forward to raiding in MoP with this great and simple mod.

    This no longer works for me.  I took about a 3 month break and came back to it just throwing out errors when I try and heal with any HoT.  I've uninstalled it and removed it's settings but still fails.

    Regarding the holy priest chakra renew refreshes.

    I thought I'd take a look at this myself, since I finally started working on my priest after a year or so.

    It's seeming like a bit of a blizzard problem (bug?). When you refresh a renew on an existing target by casting renew on them, the combat log reports a refresh event. Which can be trapped and the bar updated.

    When the renew is refreshed via chakra/heal. No such event takes place. The other weird thing is that normal renew is 12 secs. But the refreshed version is 15secs. Not sure if this is a bug (it says refresh, and refresh would be another 12 secs). If it's fixed, this would need changing. I did of course want to take the durection from the UnitAura. But, you would need to wait for the next tick to do this. Not sure it's worth it.

    So the changes I made were:

    1: Detect heal/GH/FH casts when chakra is up on player, and renew is up on target. If all these conditions are met, a renew bar refresh is made for 15 seconds on the target.

    2: The function to make bars itself has an extra argument added. If not supplied, the existing functionality is provided. If a value is supplied, the durection for the bar is taken from this argument (the argument is still processed for haste effects).


    Anyway, I've uploaded a replacement HotCandy.lua for the maintainer to consider if he wants to use the idea/implement his own method based on this (and any holy priests who don't mind messing with untested code, they can try it themselves). I've marked all my contributions, so it's easy to see what I did (You'll see it under Wrathmeil - Steamwheedle Cartel).

    It might not the perfect way to do it. But, it seems to do the job for me.

    http://nerfed.net/HotCandy.lua if you're interested anyway.

    Updated the patched file to include "Holy Word: Serenity" (doh, found out the hard way).
  • #76
    I absolutely love this add-on and find it EXTREMELY helpful for Druid Healing.

    I just got back from about a 2 month break of WoW where since a patch as hit, and I'm not sure if that is the cause of my problem but, here's my issue:

    LIFEBLOOM (3) - When first applying lifebloom to any target HotCandy will track the duration and rest it for each stack until it reaches the 3rd stack. However, when refreshing the HoT of Lifebloom with either the direct cast or using Nourish/Healing Touch/Regrowth, HotCandy no longer resets the timer on Lifebloom or shows the number of stacks it has..it simply disappears.

    If this issue can be resolved it would help A LOT!!!
  • #77
    the last 6-7 posts before yours talks about this very problem. do a little reading, cognito2 posted a temporary fix that seems to work for most druids.
  • #75
    I am trying to work this with Illuminated Healing(holy paladin mastery). Adding the spell into the code allows me to see the initial shield from the first heal, but following heals only refresh the bar and not the amount of shield remaining. Would anyone know how to edit the spell_aura_refresh for it to update the shield remaining?
  • #70
    thank you cognito for the LUA file but it seems like its not working for me :/ still not refreshing after i reached 3 stacks of lifebloom :(
