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They have been replaced by the cooldowns module, which now allows you to have several groups of cooldowns configured independently.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

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:![](https://i.imgur.com/XY1cbyI.png)
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.
In reply to dankNstein_:
I have this same issue. It mostly occurs when there is a enemy pet healthbar involved, maybe that's related to the cause of the bug?
In reply to dankNstein_:
I'm still unsure why this happens, it does seem to happen more often with pets.
Is it possible to only load this addon when instanced in an arena? My RAM is low 🥺👉👈
In reply to synthetized:
This addon isn't heavy on RAM, you just pay for loading the spell list at load but that's not much.
Is there a way to hide blizz arena frames?
In reply to synthetized:
I also need to know this. Can't figure it out.
Hi!
Every couple of games 2 empty arena frames appear and push my other frames to the top of my screen:

Is this a config error on my end or a bug? /Reload fixes it by the way
In reply to yoo_Alex:
Seems to be a bug, I'm investigating.
version marked as 1.0 not 10.0 in curseforge FYI
In reply to Brett1337:
Fixed, thanks for the report
In reply to Vendethiel:
FYI, it appears to have reverted back to 1.0 after the most recent update.
Does this work for solo queue?
In reply to synthetized:
It does, and reloads properly between rounds.
None of the click features, even just selecting a unit frame via left or right click, seem to be working for me nor my friend since pre-patch. Anyone else having this issue?
In reply to Ashellia:
Thanks for the report; will be fixed in the next release.
