About Soul Sucker

About Soul Sucker

This addon started out as a simple Drain Soul tick/execute monitor, but has since morphed into an all around Warlock addon, as I wanted added features, but didn't feel that an standalone addon for each feature was required. Any settings you do not want/need can be disabled from the config.

Have an Idea?

If you have an idea, please open a ticket and describe, in as much detail as possible, your idea and we'll see what we can do.

Localizations Needed

I need YOUR help to localize this addon for all available WoW clients. If you can help, please see the Localization Page. You will, of course, be given credit for your translations.

    I've seen it happen a couple of times, but I am unable to reproduce it, and therefore fix it. I suspect it has something to do with the talents not loading when the player loads in, but again, I'm not 100% sure.

    This addon is pretty much not working at all. I need the all in one alert system too. Basically, I start up the game after downloading and get a massive framerate drop. The system doesnt show it in the list of 3 top addons in use. Also the /soulsucker and /ss commands dont work at all. I dont believe the addon is installing properly, or its simply just not loading on my lock. I really need this and hope to get it to work

    I have removed all the comments, this is not really the correct place for troubleshooting. If you wish you may open a ticket at http://wow.curseforge.com/addons/soul-sucker/tickets/ and we can see what's going on.

    Everything works great now as of 2.4.1 XD

    Only suggestion I could make is a DoT timer as I cant stand Fortecaster but I use DoTimer which works alright. Just messy. My ideal idea of a DoT timer is one that flashes the dot button with a raid warning like recast and has a timer. Other classes have it but locks dont.

    Love this addon though, thanks for helping me XD

    No problem, apologies for it taking so long.

    I'd prefer to not have DoT tracking added to this addon, simply because there are other addons out there that can do it far better than anything I could write. Currently, I use DoTimers, and have been for years without any issues.

    Rather then a DoT timer, do you know of anything that could simply display "(DoT) has ended!" with a alert sound? Maybe I disabled something. If not, great feature to add XD

    Anywho, thanks again

    This addon is intended more to be for the spells that depend on spec, amongst other shizzle.

    Really love this addon

    Would it be possible to add a imp. Soulfire tracker? (or does it have one and i'm just blind?)
    Then it would have all the stuff i need for my warlock ;)

    Trying to think of how to do it, I suppose I could have it say when it procs, and then also when it fades. Obviously being able to toggle either one.
