Quartz
Quartz is a modular approach to a casting bar addon. An overview of (hopefully most of) the modules:
*Player
The core of Quartz is lightweight implementation of a standard casting bar, with configurable size, text and icon positioning, and colors.
*Target/Focus
Implementation of target and focus casting bars in similar fashion to the player cast bar.
*Buffs
Display of target and focus buffs and debuffs as duration bars.
*Flight
Hooks into FlightMap or InFlight to display the current flight progress on your casting bar.
*Global Cooldown
Displays a tiny spark-bar to show your Global Cooldown near the cast bar. Helpful for those who'd rather not squint at their action bars to see when they can cast again.
*Interrupt
Changes the color and text of your casting bar to help show that your cast has been interrupted (and show who interrupted it).
*Latency
Displays the amount of time spent between cast send and start events, in the form of a bar at the end of your casting bar, with optional text that displays the actual duration of the lag. This helps in canceling casts when they will not actually be interrupted, especially for users with consistently high pings.
*Mirror
Shows the 'basic' timers such as breath and feign death, as well as some 'odd' ones such as party invite time, resurrect timeout, and arena game start, and a framework for injecting custom timers into the bars.
*Range
Recolors the casting bar when your cast target moves out of range mid-cast.
*Swing
Displays a swing timer for your melee weapon as well as hunter autoshot.
*Timer
Allows for creating custom timers displayed on the mirror bars.
*Tradeskill Merge
Merges multiple casts of the same tradeskill item into one big cast bar.

why target cant Disable Blizzard Cast Bar,there is no button here
Being that the current meta DH builds use the Demon Blades talent, the fact that Swing timer is dysfunctional for DH is a huge issue. Is this being tracked for a fix?
It's not only dysfunctional for DH, but for any spec that uses 2 weapons too.
When I'm playing as some other character with a different set of abilities (the Huln Highmountain quest for example) I am seeing two cast bars. I see both the player cast bar and the pet cast bar. They are both showing the same spell info.
I've looked through the Quartz settings and couldn't find anything related to this. But I think it is falsely showing the pet casting bar in these situations.
Out of frustration, I did a bit of digging around.
This latest version at the moment is 3.3.0 and it was released on Jul 19, 2016.
Using the Curse client app on my Mac, I perused Quartz's changelog and saw among those listed that there's an alpha version 3.3.0-1-gf80a5ba. The date is Jul 28, 2016.
The only change:
Whoa.
Apparently, there was a bugfix for latency, but it was not yet officially released :O
I installed this alpha version and I am very happy to share that LATENCY IS NOW WORKING.
This version remains to be alpha as it may not have been tested thoroughly yet. But on my end, I am experiencing no issues. Everything is smooth and works as intended.
Please note that the alpha version is not visible on this website. It can only be seen and downloaded using the Curse client app. You may want to get that first here: https://mods.curse.com/client
Rejoice, and happy casting everyone! :)
It's working.
If you can't see 3.3.0-1-gf80a5ba version then right click on Quartz and Release type > Alpha.
I just found their page on WowAce, which completely lists ALL versions, including alpha.
You may download the latest alpha with latency fix from there should you prefer not to install the Curse client app:

You may then click on the download icon on the far right.
pls fixx to whow latency pls hellooooooooo pls hellooooooo
Please fix quartz for aff warlocks. It does not show corruption dot.
Please, please, please fix latency
Please, please, please fix latency :(
I just came back for Legion and I was going nuts trying to find out why the latency wasn't being shown anymore. I thought it must have been something to do with the latency settings, so I changed colors, sizes, alpha, everything.
Apparently, it's just not working at all, based on the other comments here.
Kindly fix it. I rely *heavily* on it. I play close to 300ms, so latency is not just something that's nice to have, it's critical for me :(
Thank you in advance <3
No Latency, No Quartz.
Sorry, I have to switch to another addon.
Hi, how do you change the Width of the Swing timer? It currently only has a Height adjustment, and when I activate it the "bar" is literally only a few pixels wide. A Width adjustment is unfortunately going to be necessary in order to actually use the Swing timer... and this is really the only good swing timer on the market!
hey peeps,
i can do what i want, my quartz just doesnt show my own cooldowns and buff timers under the frostbolt castbar like in the picture up here... is this normal in the current version?
ill resetted quartz, nothing changed... is there any option to enable my own cd bars/buff timers? ill just see the bars for enemy debuffs!
help! :(
hey guys,
anyone know why my dk passive, sudden doom doesnt pop up?
im using elvui and want to completely remove their healthbars cuz im using a different health add on, but quartz wont show me sudden doom :(
Bring back latency! Or if you really have no intentions to bring it back, remove it from description and remove the option from the addon itself, because its misinforming new users.
Another vote for Latency, pls bring it back!!!
Pleasee bring the latency back!! WE CANT live without quartz!!
Is there a way to get the swing timer visualizer on a DH?
