GladiusEx is an arena unit frames addon based on Gladius.
What's new
New features include:
- Party frames: support for showing frames for your own team
- Cooldown tracker: a highly configurable module for tracking all types of cooldowns
- Skill history: shows the icons of the last few skills used by the unit
- Alerts: makes the frames blink in a noticeable way during some configured events (including low health, auras and specific spells being cast)

- Health Bar: now displays incoming heals and absorbs
- Tags: configure every text to show exactly what you want, now with more built-in tags and improved performance
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They have been replaced by the cooldowns module, which now allows you to have several groups of cooldowns configured independently.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.

i'm not quite sure whether or not this exists as i just installed the addon and i won't be able to test it anytime soon.
the question:
does it hide blizzards arena/party frames automatically when entering arena? if not, could you implement this option when the corresponding modules are activated?
okay, i got it to work how i wanted it to be through checking "show party as raid frames" and then simply hiding the raid frames. if someone knows a script how to automate this an entrance of arena instances i'd be glad
Is there anyway to make the cast bars fill from right to left? inverse deosnt work that just makes it empty rather than fill.
Hello, I just wanted to thank you for this fantastic addon, I've been looking for something like this for a very long time, it's perfect for me!
My only request: Add border option to DrTracker like you have for Cooldowns, example: http://i.imgur.com/A2T8CBu.jpg (DRTracker left, Cooldowns right and bottom)
Hi there,
Great addon, thank u for the effort. Under Arena > Cooldowns > group 1 > cooldowns, at the end, where the races are, theres no human race :S
Absolutely incredible addon, this is fucking superb. But i would like to ask you one thing, could you please add an option to show the player (and party with that, if you're in a grp ofcourse) frame everywhere/all the time, would love to only use this addon for player UF.
Thank you. Unfortunately due to a lack of time it is not very likely that I'll be adding any new features for the time being (I'll still try to fix the reported bugs and keep it updated, though).
Aww, thats 2 bad. And also good hehe, keep it up!
Seem to get a Stun DR show up on myself (player) when I cast Fist of Fury as a Windwalker Monk - even if I don't hit anything using it randomly.E: Wrong post. Sorry!
Do you get a Fist of Fury debuff while channeling the ability ? That could explain it. Either way, a raw combat log of using the ability would help a lot figuring why this happens.
Sorry, completely ignore my post; I somehow posted this here instead of on DimishingReturns. >.<
Is there any chance you can add "Dematerialize" to the Cooldowns menu? It's the passive skill that lets Mistweaver Monks miss your attacks after you stun them for 2.5 seconds with a 10 seconds cooldown. I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks in advance.
I have added the cooldown to LibCooldownTracker (you can get it by installing the latest version as if it was a standalone addon), but it is untested.
Thank you very much for this!
As a Resto Shaman, Magic Debuffs (auras) won't show up in the Party Frame if set to Show Only Dispellable By Me. Just showing Curses atm.
Can you check if installing the latest version of LibDispellabe-1.0 fixes the problem ? (that's the library that GladiusEx uses to determine what auras are dispellable)
EDIT: I have added a new version that should include the latest version of all the libraries, let me know if there is any problems
Thank you for the quick reply. I just tried it out, seems to be the same problem. Disabled all other addons, just in case.
Also, Show tooltips doesn't appear to work on party auras.
EDIT: Show tooltips issue was because I had placed auras on the healthbar rather than below or above, any way to change their frame strata?
Changing the frame strata would also make clicks not work on the unit frame (in the areas with auras), and I don't think that would be desirable. A proper solution would take more time than I can spend on it at the moment.
Ah yep I understand, the tooltips part isn't that important, as I can just move those auras anyway. But the "Show Only Dispellable" issue is a bit more troublesome. :)
I understand it is a big problem, but I can't find anything wrong with the code and I don't have any way to test it at the moment, so unless you are able to debug the problem yourself I can't do much about it, sorry.
