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They have been replaced by the cooldowns module, which now allows you to have several groups of cooldowns configured independently.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 would love it if it honored my mouseover macros. Until then it's worthless.
In reply to Naqoy:
It actually does support mouseover macros. But since it's worthless, you should get a refund.
I see 'The Hunt' in the files, but I'm not able to track the CD of it. Is there a way to track it?
In reply to mysticallx:
It's hard to actually track the cd for The Hunt because of the DH's 4set.
when human using racial, it's doesnt show me cd at trinket
and when undead using racial, it's doesnt show me shared cd with their trinket
Cooldowns are outdated, can't track Call of the Wild for BM hunter for example
In reply to jovial_keller272103: BUMP missing arcane surge, CDs should be reviewed
LUA error. I cant test 2v2/3v3 or 5v5
In reply to Frederick: I pushed 2.7.2 which should hopefully fix your issues
3.4.3 is broken. Via interface I cannot test it 2v2/3v3 etc, nothing shows up. The only thing I can see is the anchor, otherwise nothing is visible.
In reply to deathlypale: Same :-(
In reply to Cordiel: I pushed 2.7.2 which should hopefully fix your issues

Great addon, thank you!
Quick question; currently going through all CD's for tracking and I notice the tooltip in the list is not up to date from some spells. Does this mean CD tracking in game will use a wrong timer aswell? Or is CD tracking on the arenaframes correct and is tooltip in the menu's just outdated?
In reply to JuicedG:
Info shown in menu is manual input and might have errors, if you send me a list I'll correct them. I do have the classes so I can test anything in case there's a doubt.
The tooltip itself, though, is generated by the game.
I did not write them down so I do not remember which ones I ment. I do remember Call of the Wild not being on there for BM hunter. Nor is Arcane Surge for mage or the hunter for DH.
Good to know tooltip will work, thank you!
Any ETA on an update? Causing me issues using, hopefully you have time soon to fix.
In reply to mark129:
What kind of issues?
In reply to Vendethiel: It shows me nothing, except a big empty box on the side on my screen, however if I go into another match, it will show me the previous team I fought against.
In reply to mark129: Can you post an error (install the addons BugSack and BugGrabber if you don't have them), and a screenshot? I've never had that.
If it fails to display, you can use these two commands to force reset it:
/gex hide
/gex show
Then when the gates open it'll pick up the specs etc.
