GladiusEx
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)
- Pets: new module for displaying pet bars
- Interrupts: See the interrupts directly on your arena & party frames.
And the classic modules, most of which have been improved in various ways:
- Auras: now with more filtering options
- Class Icon: new display modes: by spec, role and portraits
- Cast Bar: now shows which spells can't be interrupted
- DR Tracker: track the diminishing returns timers on both the enemy team and your team. Now lets you select which icon you want displayed for every category!
- 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They have been replaced by the cooldowns module, which now allows you to have several groups of cooldowns configured independently.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.

Really hoping this gets updated, it's by far the best arena addon. :)
Is there a way to make it show enemy major offensive/defensive cds and cc's over the class icons like in gladius v3?
Workaround for testing mode not working properly: disable "DR Tracker" module for both "Party" and "Arena". Also I posted a coomment on the existing bug ticket and atteched Lua Error which pops up when I try to run testing mode with DR Tracker enabled on Party and/or Arena.
@Managed True, maybe the worst problem right now :(
Hi man! zup hope ur good :)
U still working? Any plans to update the addon?
It's an awesome addon, best one in class i think, but theres need of some fixes, like non see bars , ghost bars, dnt track CC over icon class anymore... so, i think all of us will be glad if u keep us on news :)
ADD: after reach some i realized that function "GetDefaultImportantAuras()" dnt work anymore, btw guys from "Gladius" project did a new function called "GetAuraList()" that seems to work properly, i tried to manage and adapt it but i dnt know so much lua and im getting mad u.u (xD), Anyway, thats the deal, hope get news from u guys soon :D

Will there be an update soon?
Season is up, no update appears to be crucial
This is the best arena addon ever.
There is any update coming?
Is there currently a problem with the testing feature? I'm not seeing any units in the "enemy" anchor, and upon switching to 2v2, 3v3, 5v5 test - nothing changes.

Hey man,
I love this addon, I hope you plan on updating it for WoD. Give us a comment if you are working on it eh?
I am working on it, no promises on how long it is going to take though.
Update please :c
There is a bug that does not allow you to inspect other players. What I mean by this is if you try to hover over their gear, it won't show the name/stats of it. Please fix this ASAP!
Hello any chance for an update? Cheers
There will be an update coming soon™. You can grab the current alpha if you want to keep up with the progress, but expect a lot of broken stuff until a new version is tagged.
YEEEEEY!!!
Will get alpha. When you need help to test it, just say so - I'll keep reading here =)
Thank!
Good to hear! looking forward to the update!
