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They have been replaced by the cooldowns module, which now allows you to have several groups of cooldowns configured independently.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.

Posted Sep 27, 2017venedethiel, bro...is there a way to make the opt_charge count (2) for Blessing of Protection, Blessing of Sacrifice and Blessing of Freedom jump to a charge count of 1 when the Holy Paladin uses Avenging Crusader?
I would really like to make it so that once a Holy Paladin uses Avenging Crusader the charge count for his blessings is set to 1.
cheers again for the addon!

Posted Sep 28, 2017Hey,
That's actually pretty difficult. There's no mechanic that works like this ATM.
Going the other way around (starting with a single charge and detecting extra ones) is already implemented however.
I can take a look at what it'd take, but I'm scared of adding a big mechanism for only a specific case.
(btw, it's vendethiel)

Posted Sep 28, 2017I hope I'm not too intrusive...but the problem with lock walls and pala bubbles is that the cooldown is different for every spec (because of artifact traits/talents).
demo wall is 140s, affli wall is 180s and destro wall is 60s but all three have the same name and spellID...is it possible to make the addon distinguish between specIDs for the same spellID?
so that this displays its own cooldown icon:
LCT_SpellData[123] = {
class = "WARLOCK",
specID = { 265 },
and this displays its own cooldown icon:
LCT_SpellData[123] = {
class = "WARLOCK",
specID = { 266 },

Posted Sep 28, 2017and one last:
when I want to track Shimmer and Displacement for arcane mages it gets a bit tricky because Shimmer has 2 charges and Displacement restores one charge on use.
I made it so that using Displacement would reset Shimmer but Shimmer has 2 charges so the cooldown for Shimmer bugs out ingame when I tested it.
again thank you for updating this wonderful addon and if you want me to test more stuff ingame just hit me up in the DMs!

Posted Sep 30, 2017Hey,
I can make these spells have different cooldowns based on their spec (that's something I added for subrogue's vanish, for thief's bargain).
I updated the cooldown with the times you gave me.
What are the cooldowns for pala bubbles?
For displacement, I admit I don't really know how it works. Seems like I need to add some code to restore charge... It's not gonna look pretty.
Are there any other spells that work like Shimmer+Displacement?

Posted Jan 3, 2015I tweaked around a little (mixing old and newer versions) and came up with this: DR's work and Important auras work. Testing does not work so you have to do that in a skirmish or two. Link Removed: http://www.mediafire.com/download/l4fl5u3w46rya55/GladiusEx.rar
However I did have some mates saying they couldnt figure it out, not sure why. (Might be because rar extracts two folders called GladiusEx, you only need the one inside the first folder)
