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They have been replaced by the cooldowns module, which now allows you to have several groups of cooldowns configured independently.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

Heyo! Let me start off by saying I love the work you do on the addon. I was just wondering if it would be possible to let players customize the cooldown value of certain abilities. For example: Survival hunter's harpoon is on a 30 second cooldown on my frames, but in reality it's 20 seconds.I would love to change this.
I dont know if this is alot of work, but thanks in advance!

every warrior runs reduced parry cd conduit in arenas. Is warrior parry still 2 min baseline which cannot be changed? I dont even want to download and check if not.

Damn, what a shit response to a real critique. Sure they could phrase it more politely, but that doesn't mean they're wrong.
In reply to InriSejenus:
I never said they were wrong, though

Once I set "show only dispellable" in buff (auras), I dont see any buffs as discipline priest.
Any tips?
In reply to keid_:
Thanks for the report, probably related to my previous attempt to fix this option for MW
In reply to Vendethiel:
Are you going to fix it?

I asked if you are going to fix it :)
When entering arena match, random class buffs/auras next to class icons that arent meant to be there, how to remove?
In reply to jaydes16:
This is actually because of BigDebuffs, not GladiusEx, which integrated into the addon recently. 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:
Perfect it's fixed, thank you for your quick reply!
The text tag "spec" doesn't seem to be working anymore in the latest release? I am using "spec short" atm as a fix but it would be nice getting the whole spec to display, especially since the shortening in the short version can get a bit weird sometimes x)
In reply to Bodify:
Nice catch. Will be fixed in the next release.
I've downloaded the lates file which was updated yesterday, but the addon seems still not working.
/gex does not respond and I don't see the frame in arena, is there any way to fix it? thanks!
In reply to cngenji:
Hi, please try the new release
In reply to Vendethiel:
thanks so much for the quick update, its working for me now!
btw noticed that the version on this page is still showing as '9.0.5', maybe you can update that so people wont miss this best arena frame addon.
do we have a new release to support 9.1?
