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They have been replaced by the cooldowns module, which now allows you to have several groups of cooldowns configured independently.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 21, 2013Awsome product! Strongly recommend to everyone who arenas.
Is there a way to test the click module? Seems like I can only test it during an arena, which is difficult to do.

Posted Aug 1, 2013The code needed to be simplified to be able to keep working on it (without adding an unmanageable number of bugs), so that meant removing anything deemed unnecesary or just not very well designed. Is there anything that you can't do with OmniCC instead ?

Posted Aug 1, 2013There is a targets module, but it is disabled by default. You need to enable it in the options.

Posted Jul 8, 2013This is the best addon I've used in a long time. It has replace the original Gladius as well as Healbot.
As a healer I'd like to seen Healbot type options added to the Party frames of GEX. For instance I'd like to see highlighting for buff/debuff that I need to be dispelling. As well as more modifier key additions. Right now only alt- shift- and ctrl- can be used by themselves. With Healbot you can use any combination. I'd like to see shift- + alt- or any other combination.
Thanks a lot! Keep up the good work.

Posted Jul 8, 2013Thank you! I will try to add that in a future version, meanwhile you can probably do this using Clique.
