HotCandy

Table of Contents

HotCandy is a Heal-over-Time tracker initialy designed for Druids, but has grown into a full HoT/Buff tracker for all healing classes.

HotCandy was designed to be very simple and easy to use, with only a handful of options to customize the style of the bars. However its core is powerful and supports all known set bonuses, talents and glyphs that increase the length of your HoTs.

HotCandy is driven solely by the CombatLog events which provide it with all information it needs to display accurate timers for the HoTs you cast on other players (or yourself, of course).

Supported Spells

Druids
- Lifebloom (with stack display)
- Rejuvenation
- Regrowth
- Wild Growth (disabled by default)
Priests
- Renew
- Power Word: Shield
- Prayer of Mending (with remaining charges display)
- Holy Word: Serenity
- Divine Aegis (disabled by default)
Paladin
- Beacon of Light
Shamans
- Riptide
- Ancestral Healing
- Earthliving (disabled by default)
Hunter
- Mend Pet

All supported spells can be enabled/disabled in the HotCandy configurarion, as you see fit.

You can access the HotCandy configuration through the Blizzard Interface AddOns Options, or with the /hotcandy slash command.

a friend of mine uses the power aura addon to track his lifebloom with text indicators. power auras will do more than what you are looking for, but you might find it useful foe keeping track of procs and cooldowns as well.

Having the same problem. No longer tracks lifebloom accept for the first application. Please fix this quick! One of my favorite addons.

Same issue here with the new v1.6.7 in WoW 4.2. It kills the mod for druids.

Apparently a result of a Blizzard change/bug as seen here:
http://us.battle.net/wow/en/forum/topic/2743805065

"SPELL_AURA_REFRESH does not fire for Lifebloom when cast at full stacks" (from another thread)

Here is a very crude fix I have added to mine to get lifebloom refreshes working. Added at line 325 in HotCandy.lua:
http://pastebin.com/0u5qjqDQ
So far it seems to work fine, but it will do odd things if you do not have the lifebloom refresh talent (i.e. in Feral spec). It will also only work on group or raid members.

Seems to mostly work. The only thing that seems odd is that it won't refresh duration as you go from 1->2 and 2->3 lifebloom stacks, but putting a lifebloom on an existing (3->3) still refreshes duration.

Thanks for the workaround.

Sorry for your troubles, here is the full HotCandy.lua:

If you have problems copying the formatting try the raw view and a text editor that is not notepad (I recommend notepad++ for windows).

Same error here on my Priest soon after log on casting a spell this tracks (Renew, etc.).

The latest v1.6.4 has the changes mentioned in a below comment "officially" added to it (hideCaster before srcGUID), yet it does not fix the errors...for Priests at least.

I figured it out how to fix this for Priests. Copied from my ticket comment on WowAce:

As there is no developer GIT, will post what I changed here for others who want to to fix the errors themselves:

In HotCandy.lua:

1) Changed PW:Shield duration from its old 30 seconds to 15 seconds (as of WoW 4.1, on line 71)

2) Removed Holy Word: Aspire, which hasn't existed for a while/ever (on lines 77-80 & 133).

One or both of the above makes the mod work properly without errors on a Priest.
