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They have been replaced by the cooldowns module, which now allows you to have several groups of cooldowns configured independently.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 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.
Loving this addon but I've noticed it moves when in 2v2, 3v3 or 5v5, rather than have the enemies grow downwards or upwards. Is it possible to change this so it stays in the same position and the new enemies for 3v3 5v5 etc. just grow down or up? I usually have it aligned how I want it using the 2v2 frame, but then when I join 3v3 or 5v5 it moves the entire frame about. Hope that makes sense. Here's an example:
In reply to Zedaso:
What sort/growth option did you pick?
will this addon be repaired ahead of time? I dont have dracthyr abilities nor can i click on the frames when clique is enabled. Should i change to another addon ?
In reply to animimi:
You do you. FWIW, next update will have dracthyr spells.
Any chance there could be an option to remove arena4 and arena5? They are randomly popping up and displacing arena 1-3 around whenever they do, unsure what is causing them to pop up randomly in arena/solo shuffles.
