GladiusEx

Table of Contents

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They have been replaced by the cooldowns module, which now allows you to have several groups of cooldowns configured independently.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

Hello,

I've written about this in the issues section, but you seem to reply here more often. ^^

The Cooldown Spiral of auras (both buffs and debuffs) is white instead of grey, which makes it quite hard to know which aura it actually is you are looking at.

Any chance to turn it into the standard grey or add a toggle?

Thanks in advance!

It doesn't change anything where you post it. I haven't played the game since 8.0 or 8.1, so I'm not fixing things right now.

Disarm diminishing returns. Please add it. When ever i play mw/war in 2s or double monk it is extremely annoying.

Haven't played since the beginning of the year, if I do I will fix it. Otherwise if you're able to get your hands dirty, send a code change to https://github.com/vendethiel/DRData-1.0 and I'll pull it in

About 30% of the arenas the opponents dont show up before the match starts. Is there anyway to fix that?

The default blizzard enemy frames still show up when using Gladius Ex. Is there an option to hide them that I'm missing? Thanks.

Is there a way to disable highlight on party auras with duration (and keep cooldown text in place)? It is hard to see, which exact aura it's covering. I've digged into code, but unable to find a way to remove this highlight.

And one more question, while I'm here :) Does party frames shows absorb heal (from maledict as an example)? Didn't noticed it and unable to find settings about that.

Sorry; I don't think I understand what you mean. What do you want to disable? A screenshot maybe would help.

Party frames don't show absorb heals afaik (the healthbar feature doing that appeared in WoD I think; while this hasn't been changed snce mop)
