Scorchio! 2
Note: as of Jan 2021, Scorchio has been flagged as abandoned due to the original author not carrying over her account to the new Overwolf system. Overwolf refuses to undo this. It isn't possible to release new versions while it's flagged as abandoned - they never get packaged. The original author flagged the project as "All Rights Reserved", so I'm not sure whether Overwolf would allow me to create a new forked version, even if I wanted to. Ultimately, the best path for everyone is probably to move on from Scorchio and build what you need around something like WeakAuras or TellMeWhen. -ywfn666
Scorchio2 is an addon for Mages that tracks Living Bomb, Nether Tempest, Ignite, Slow, Flamestrike (Flame Patch and snare), and Polymorph on multiple mobs, and can give you warnings and notifications when the debuffs need reapplying, or have expired completely. Scorchio can also provide bars for personal buffs/procs/summons: Clearcasting, Heating Up, Hot Streak!, Brain Freeze, Fingers of Frost, Combustion, Icy Veins, Arcane Power, Rune of Power, and Mirror Image. Up to three anchors are available for use (targeted, non-targeted, and buffs), and the sort order for bars within each anchor is customizable.
Use /scorchio2, or Blizzard's Addons configuration window to configure Scorchio2.
Localization Help Needed!
Lots of work has gone into translation, but there's still some left to do. Localizations are easy to submit on the WowAce Localization Page, and help many users. Please help with this if you're able. And thanks to everyone who's helped so far!
I can give some hints about where to start looking for the problem. Debuff tracking actually works just fine, sound and text expiration notifications work. But the bars display bugs our. It actually reserves the space for the bar, but instead of a bar there's an empty space. So might be the libs for drawing bars or some other display code.
On the side note I'd like to add that I got so used to this add on in 3 or so years I've been using it that I can't really raid well with any other, so yeah. Great piece of software, try to find some time to find what causing the display issue and fix it. Hope this helps.
Plus you should be done with some faction dailies all ready, since I'd you do it for gear, you don't need exalted, and klaxxi, golden lotus should be done. Other 2 should have cheap gear be a viable and you don't actually need rep with all of them now,cause of valor cap. So I for one stopped doing them, and you really should not do them all, look at gear and plan a bit, it'll cut down wasted time considerably. But I so agree that there are too much ffing dailies.
Thanks for the confirmation that it's probably the bar library, or the interaction with the bar library. That's one of the parts of the addon I never changed so it helps narrow things down a lot.
I thought dailies would get better once Klaxxi and GL were at Revered -- then I found out Klaxxi has a ring at Exalted. And I still need to get my VP from somewhere. Maybe it'll get better when there are more raid bosses out and I can get more VP in raids, but who knows at this point! It's not like these things are individually so time-consuming, but having to do them every single day makes the time add up fast.
You should try Challenge modes. It's so much fun if you have a competent group, and it gives 50-60VP per run, and if you even go for silver it's not much more than 15-20mins per run. Plus you have fun. And when you go for gold, that's another story, you literaly finish within couple seconds of the timer, and it's quite a rush! So you should check it out.
Also I had no idea about klaxxi having a ring, but now that I know that, I'll still probably skip it, it does not peak my fiery interest that much since it's hit + mastery. Golden lotus neck on the other hand is very nice, but I feel like it's too much effort required to get to it. So I only do couple of GL dailies every other day or so.
All in all I'd say that you should not really suffer though all that to get a reward that will be changed in a week or two, since there will be 496 gear from new raids. Hit-crit ring from the first boss in heart of fear as an example.
I'll be really awesome if this help you fix it and I wont have to cook up some concoction from raven/weakauras just to make it feel the same ;) Also I have not seen any other multi target dot tracking addons apart from ability to display that stuff on tidy plates. And I have absolutely no idea how to go about implementing that in weakauras.
It'll be a very nice to have it all working again along with MyBigIgnite that *should* be fixed till next week according to the author. So I'll be really gratefull if you'll be able to spare some time to check it out, who knows it might just be as easy as updating the libs (probably wont be though...) ;)
BTW if you no longer play Mage or cant test the bars out, I have some videos of the bug in action.
Also I had no idea you made InterruptHelper! Another great addon, TY for that one too :)
I still play a mage, but I have most of the sound & text alerts in this mod shut off, so I never noticed what you did. The mod does some weird things when deciding whether to show a bar or not, sometimes pretending it's in combat when it isn't. I always assumed the bug was there but had no luck finding it, but now it seems more likely the bug is somewhere else.
I also noticed that it will randomly not show living bomb or nether tempest on my target. Even more often it will not show dots on my non-targets. Way too common and un-reliable.
Anyone else having issues with Living Bomb not appearing quite often although it is on the target. It is inconsistent right now. Hoping an easy fix for this as i love this addon.
this!!!
Can you please add The invocation Timer buff to the addon aswell please, It will be easier to track it, if you could.
yes please, Invoker's Energy would be very helpfull if included.
I´m new to this addon and I love it! But one thing I really miss is a bar for Frostbolt and its 3 stacks. Any plans to implement that?
Thanks in advance
how do i move the bar in game
The setting is called Toggle Anchor. When the anchor is visible, it can be moved.
Type /scorchio2 and look in Anchor Options.
Much love for updating Scorchio to MoP. Is it possible to display a bar for the frost bomb cooldown (as opposed to duration?) I'm very much used to recasting living bomb as soon as I see the duration bar dissapearing from my screen, but since Frost bomb has a cooldown that's longer than the dot duration I usually fumble it, then proceed to forget about recasting it and waste a few seconds while its already off cooldown.
Many thanks!
I agree it would be useful. Currently the mod has no concept of cooldowns, so I can't say I won't run into some unforseen problem trying to add this, but I'll try.
I made an alpha version where Frost Bomb is a cooldown, not a debuff. I want to try it in a real raid before making a release version. If it works well I'll look into adding other short cooldowns like Inferno Blast and pet Freeze.
Any chance to add Moonfire and Sunfire? Used to play mage for a long time so I know how important are and how awesome living bomb bars look, so I would like to see the same in balance druid (mean I can see multiple mobs debuff etc)
Or does anyone know an addon that can show Moonfire and Sunfire on multiple mobs, cause I can't find something yet? Thanks!
Uh, did you have any luck finding multi-target dot trackers for boomkins? Adding other class spells to this mod is simple from a coding perspective, but for support and maintainence and configuration screens it would be more than I have time for.
Thanks for the comments. The Heating Up localization error should be fixed now, and I added tracking for Pyromaniac.
I downloaded the new version but it isn't appearing with /scorchio2 or in the Blizzard Addons tab. It is however loaded and up to date. Any ideas?
I have no idea. Addons not showing up is usually a Windows installation issue; I avoid it completely by putting WoW in D:\Games instead of C:\ so I don't know what the solutions are.
