About Shadow Priest DoT Timer
What The Addon Accomplishes
I've used Danina's Shadow Timer addon for a while and liked it enough to tweak it for my own raiding use. Here's the gist of what I tried to solve. Credit has to go to Danina for the initial inspiration. http://wow.curse.com/downloads/wow-addons/details/shadowtimers.aspx
When should I refresh my DoTs. With Power Torrent, DMC Volcano, Necormantic Focus, Moonwell Challice, Volcanic Potion and Heroism I never quite knew when the right time was to refresh a DoT, namely DP and VT. That's where this addon comes into play.
Most procs give you an amount of a stat for a duration. For instance, Volcanic Potion grants a buff called Volcanic Power which gives 1200 Int for 25 seconds. Moonwell Chalice gives an amount of Mastery for 12 seconds. You get the idea. So HowToPriest.com tells you to refresh your dots with procs. 20 seconds into a fight, procs feel random with no real way to discern if a proc is a DPS upgrade. What I've done is use HowToPriest.com BiS scaling numbers to convert a buff to it's Int equivalency and created what I refer to as a "buff score". As of 1.0c all of this data is configurable in the options panel under Blizzard's Interface-AddOns tab.
- Volcanic Potion is worth 1200
- Volcanic Destruction 1600
- Power Torrent 500
- Heroism (128 * 30 * .51) or 1958
- %damage from Empowered Shadows and Dark Evangelism is treated as a 1% buff to Int per 1% damage increase.
- Moonwell Chalice (1700 * .48) or 816
- Necromantic Focus (39 * .51) * stacks or 20 to 200
- Combat Mind 88 Int stacks 10 times.
- Velocity 3278 Haste
The key is that when you cast SW:P or VT, the current buff score is copied to the top of the icon showing its cooldown. You can then use that number to figure out if refreshing a DoT would be a DPS increase of decrease. Of course, refreshing seconds before a proc wears off is always beneficial and that's the next enhancement for me to make. I want to get to the point where you see a cooldown bar for your buff score. The buff score is not intended to be an accurate reflection of actual damage numbers. It's there so that you can judge the relative difference between when you first cast a DoT and your current buff level. Higher numbers recast. Lower numbers wait until you have to refresh it.
Slash Commands
- /spdt (scale1 | scale2 | scale3 | scale4 | scale5 | scale6)
- /spdt (show | hide | reset | configmode | noconfigmode | options | clear)
Options:
- show: Show the addon.
- hide: Prevents the addon from displaying on the screen. Useful when you switch to Disc/Holy
- reset: Used to recycle the display of the addon. Can help if there's a glitch in the display.
- configmode: Enables a frame around the addon's visible elements so that the entire frame can be positioned.
- noconfigmode: Enables the addon for play and removes the frame created during configmode.
- scale1 - 6: Resizes the visible elements of the addon.
- options: Displays the option panel in the Blizzard Interface Option screen.
- clear: Clears the internal mob list that tracks DoTs on multiple targets.
Recent Enhancements from comments:
- Add an icon for Mind Blast Cooldown
- Add display of PowerInfusion and Vampiric Embrace and all talent of Tier 3 and 5
- Add a check for the actual class is a Priest with Shadow specialization
- Add a coloring option to color the buff score of SW:P above an icon when recasting is a DPS increase or decrease.
- Add SW:D, when the target is applicable for it
Future enhancements:
- Changeable order of the DoTs.
Ruled out Enhancements:
- Adding a timer for buff score - In practice I didn't find the information to be useful because when you added up the buffs, the score might change 5 times in less than a second making the velocity of the information useless in an already fast moving UI addon.

Also the class standard table is now valid for all language clients.

Could anyone provide me some feedback to the latest Beta-Version v1.6c? I tried to implement all of your suggestions (only changing the order and positioning the icons seperatly on the screen in missing) during my holidays last week and I cannot test the implementation of the UVLS behaviour or the 2pT15 display as i I don't have one Set-item and no UVLS trinket. People from Germany can also send me PM in german, if that is easier for you. Here is the linkt to the ticket-site: http://wow.curseforge.com/addons/shadow-priest-dot-timer/tickets/
Thanks in advance,
Greetings,
Bathral
Hi Bathral.
I'd like to thank you for your continued work on this great addon. I'd like a small tweak if possible.
Currently the font colors are yellow and are docked central of the spell icons. Shadow Word: Pain's icon color is also yellow, making visual reading of the font rather difficult.
Is there a way to make the numbers other colors other then yellow? Dont have any visual issues with DP or VT tho.
Thanks!
The new beta version has the improvements you wanted, so please try it out.
Hi tattoo_priestess,
You can move the spell timers via ingame options menu by setting the offset. Positive values mean upwards and negative values means downwards. Maybe that can improve the visibility for you. But beware, that this moves all the timers by this offset.
The color can currently not be changed, but this feature will be implemented in the next major build. Don't nail me down, but i hope to be able to push that new build out by the end of the next week during my holidays:D
Is there a way to add the legendary meta gem proc to this addon?
Yeah, go into interface, then addons, then Shadow Priest DoT Timer, then at the Bottom add Tempus Repit (name of the LMG proc).
Please try out the new beta version. Improvements to the haste calculation has been done (to be activated in the options panel) as well as adding the LMG to the hidden standard table.
for the LMG proc since it's a % buff, the haste it provides depends on your current haste, eg your basic haste is 1, and when your trinket procs you are at 1.2, and if now the LMG procs, you'll be at 1.56. but if the LMG procs w/o the trinket, your haste would be at 1.3. So I would say that the haste rating it provides differs by situation, so we can't just simply add a haste rating to it.
Not sure if I'm thinking the right way or not. Please point out if it's not true.
I will add this proc to the default buff list in my next update this weekend.
Also a list of buffs included in this list will be published.
I watched for the proc and noted in my character tab how much my haste increased by. Then I reversed the calculation to determine how much haste it would have taken for me to reach that point. I don't know if it's the same for everyone but I put in 16,684 haste for the LMG proc.
I got that far, but I have no idea how to translate the 30% haste buff into haste ratings
I noticed that the stat weights are pulled from howtopriest. I was wondering if there is any internal modification of the weights to take account of the fact that the dot timer is only for dots. That is, the howtopriest stat weights include the full rotation, but the addon tracking is really only relevant for dots. So shouldn't mastery be given a higher weight relative to other stats since it directly relates to damage caused by dots?
Is it possible to move the dot timers outside of the icons?
Yes. Use the offset in the options menu. Positive offset means timers are getting up, negative offset values menas timers are getting down.
Hi, first of all thanks for SPDT. .)
my questions:
- that green thingy that occures when you use DP with numbers 1,2 or 3 (I believe it means number of orbs u had) is sometimes wrong (I use DP with 3 orbs, but green thingy shows number 2) but this can be caused latency/lag etc. ???
- how can I put Power Infusion. Berserking, Rapit Tempus (LegendaryMetaGem), BL or TW to SPDT? I mean it says + 20% or 30% haste ??? any formula?
Thanks.
