FAQ
How do I bring the user interface up ?
You can use the /gex slash command, or you can access the options from the addons tab in the interface panel.
Where did the trinket and the dispels modules go ?
They have been replaced by the cooldowns module, which now allows you to have several groups of cooldowns configured independently. By default, the trinket cooldown is shown in group 2 and a few other cooldowns in group 1.
What is that additional set of frames that I see ?
Those are the party frames. This is incremental functionality that will help you track not only your enemies but also your friends. If you use your own you can turn these easily off in the general settings. You can also disable only your own frame, but keep the GladiusEx party frames.
Is it possible to have text timers for the auras, cooldowns or the DR icons ?
The timer module has been removed, but this can be achieved with OmniCC or other similar addons.

Is there any way to make the HP bar color a processive gradient? Like green for full, yellow mid, and red low.
everytime i reload the test frames are showing, any way to prevent that? manually clicking "stop testing" everytime doesn't stop it permanently apparently.
EDIT: somehow is not doing it anymore, but i don't know why tho.
In reply to Navallax:
you probably locked them. there's a big window on top of the testframes that they stop disappearing when you lock frames.
Monk's spear isnt there too
Can I manually add a cooldown? I saw that Inbuke is not enabled for HOLY spec (skull bash too)
I haven't been able to find any setting to change the size of text for stacks on Cooldowns. The numbers at the bottom right is incredibly small. Am I just missing it or is there no setting currently?
skull bash category in cooldowns is wrong, shoult be in "talents" section not in feral one ^^
Is there any way we can edit the cooldown of some spells, like maybe in the text files? I think there are some talents to lower the CD of some things like Leg Sweep for example and noticed a sweep was happening before the timer showed it was up.
Not sure if it's been mentioned yet, but the Assassination rogue cooldown "Vendetta" was re-branded to "Deathmark" in Dragonflight's pre-patch. I can't find a way to manually add it for tracking so it is difficult to know what the timer on this cooldown is without a custom Weakaura.

In reply to TheCheat54:
I know I need to go through the cooldowns, just have been busy with the end of the year, should have more free time soon.
Workaround for the bug which will sometimes show Arena4 and Arena5 bars (greyed out and/or pushing the other frames):
So set your 3v3 frames where ever you want them positioned then:
Go Arena > General > Uncheck "Group unit frames"
This will make all 5 individual arena1-5 frames become separate. Then just move arena4 and arena5 somewhere you won't notice.
It's a wonky work around that can be kind of annoying if you like to change your frames a lot since you have to repeat these steps every time, but it does work
got a question, On the class icon when i got auras showing why does one appear inside the class icon and one shows up on the left hand side of the class icon where the dr tracker is at cant figure what it is
In reply to Darshay:
This is actually because of BigDebuffs, not GladiusEx, which integrates into the addon. To disable it, type /bd to open BigDebuffs' options, then into Unit Frames > Arena Frames > uncheck "Enabled". BigDebuffs integration is not actually necessary because GladiusEx already has that feature in the classicon module.
In reply to Vendethiel:
thanks very much for the reply man this mod way better than any arena frame addon by far
Is it just me or does gladiusEX not track Evoker's empowered casts? I can see them with my focus frame, but not on the arena frames?
In reply to ChocopuffRSham:
Huh, will need to take a look at it
In reply to Vendethiel:
Thank you!
Is there a way to disable Blizzard party and arena frames with this addon?
Hello! The addon shows Vendetta that no longer exists as a Rogue cooldown.
In reply to Natlyz:
Haven't had much time to play recently, will try to get to updating the spells soon-ish.
