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 all the proccs I never quite knew when the right time was to refresh a DoT, namely SW:P 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 SPDT 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.
There are two bufftables. One that the user has to fill depending on his trinkets and upgraded versions, which can be managed via the ingame menu. The other bufftable is hidden and i call it class/standard buff table.
The class/standard buff table contains of the following buffs:
- Heroism
- Bloodlust
- Time Warp
- Ancient Hysteria
- Potion of the Jade Serpent
- Lifeblood
- Synapse Spring
- Power Infusion
- Berserking
- Windsong
- Jade Spirit
- Tempus Repit (Legendary Meta Gem Proc)
- Twist of Fate
- Fluidity in ToT 1.Boss
- Primal Nutriment in ToT 6.Boss
- Tricks of the Trade (Rogue)
- Fearless in ToeS 4. Boss(Sha)
An example list for ingame bufflist could look like this:
- Volcanic Potion is worth 1200
- Volcanic Destruction 1600
- Power Torrent 500
- 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 or decrease. Of course, refreshing seconds before a proc wears off is always beneficial and therefore the icon will turn green. 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. I added some more options in the latest version, so that you can define your own buffscore offset to turn green, when your current buffscore is higher than the buffscore when you applied the DoT. You can now also set if the whole icon will turn green or only the numbers above. Also everything can be hidden.

Love the add-on.
Was wondering if you are going to add the tempus repit proc from the new legendary meta gem to the bar where all the others are
Hi,
the proc is already included in the class/standard buff table as mentioned in the description above. It is calculated according to 30% haste. No seperate icon display is planned for this, because only no other proc is displayed beside UVLS.
Neither this timer nor the icon for it will be added in this addon. This is not the direction where this addon should be going to. Please take a look at "Weak Auras" and set the buff with its timer up for you, if you really need it. The proc of the LMG is included using the buffscore as all the other buffs and procs are. Only UVLS has a special behaviour, because it kind of changes your default playstyle completely.
thanks for the quick reply
thought it would be nice to see the timer on the buff so you could refresh your DOTS just before the buff runs out
This addon is fantastic, thank you so much. It makes dot management so easy.
Unfortunately it's spoiled me a bit, as whenever I'm not on my priest I'm struck by how inelegant dot management/cd management is without SPDT.
Is there a verison of this/similar version for other classes? (Mostly mage and lock).
Thanks again for your hard work with this mode, it's basically perfect.
Hi,
for locks there is Affdots. There is also a very good priest version of this addon.
for mage i know MageNuggets.
Maybe that serves you.
Hello, been using this addon for a while but quit WoW for a few months.
When I came back I changed all of my Interface and re-downloaded this addon, but I can't figure out for the life of me how to move/scale the frame.
I'm not sure if I'm using the commands wrong but I'm typing "/spdt configmode" but nothing is happening, won't let me move the frame.
Please help me, I'm rubbish with addons !
Thank you.
Hi bittersweet93,
You have to be out of combat for this command. Besides this, it happened once, that after a clean installation the moving was impossible. Try to log out and in then write "/spdt configmode" and move the grey frame where you want it to be. After that write "/spdt noconfigmode". For scaling try out "/spdt scale1" ..."/spdt scale6" which one of it is the best for you.
Greetings,
Bathral
Love the add on, it may be nice to have the icon turn a one colour to show that you should reapply due to procs then another colour when they are going to fall off. i.e. green when they are about to fall off and cyan when reapplying is going to be a dps increase but they still have some time to go.
Also I saw an addon called Affdots (on youtube called "what's that mod? - Affdots") which does something similar to this addon with warlocks but also has the ability to change the icon colour in the tidy frames themselves so that you can see which dots are going to fall off of which target more easily or could be refreshed due to whatever buffs and procs you now have. I just thought it would be a nice feature for shadow priests and help us to keep on top of our own dots.
1)I considered that already. A simple option will be added to set the coloring of the icons differently in case a reapplication of DoTs before their baseline expiration.
2) I know this Addon and its border coloring of TidyPlates and ElvUI nameplates. I am not convinced that this will be enough visible in multi target fights, but i will add this feature under low priority to my Milestones.
Is there a way to get orbs again between the dots?
I'm switching to old version, i can't play like that. :(
I am working on options to move the icons seperatly. I currentyl cannot provide an ETA!
Thanks for the great update again Bathral and your dedication to make this better. WIth the recent improvements you made its now imo even better then those recommended at h2p. I appreciate your dedication.
I do agree with Ava. SPDT icon changes color only when the dots are about to expire and that has been the primary coloring behavior. The score/ numbers above the icons changes color when any buff/procs modify dot strength and it is up to the player to decide if a refresh is worth it.
So its pobably better to leave the icon change to red-green just before dots expire, any other procs/ buffs shouldnt interfere.
The numbers/ score above the icons should change according to the strength of the dots and let the player decide.
Otherwise it gets confusing.
Just for you:
In v1.6g you will find an option (under additional options) to turn this behaviour off and use the old one.
Nevertheless, if you configure your Stat-Weights correctly for your prioritized procs and set your redot offset in the options in the best way for you, then the coloring of the whole icon is much more visibile in your eye, than a colored number. Well, maybe we are used to it, as I didn't active the option I added for you by myself;)
I might switch to another color for this behaviour, if you are used to red and green right before reapplication.
I don't like how the whole icon changes to green if I need to re-apply due to a proc of some kind. I liked the red number above it. With how many things proc, it's just annoying because not all procs are worth reapplying and then it becomes confusing.
