Target window with effect timers

kjamaca · #1 02-26-2009, 11:33 PM

Is there a Target window that shows timers for the debuffs on a mob?

Example: 2 Dirges in a raid...1 casts COB, the other watches the timer until it is about to run out before they cast COB.

Similar concept with other non-stacking spells...does this exist? If not, could someone make one? I can barely play EQ2 - I can't even fathom trying to MOD it!

Thanks in advance for your help!!

That data isn't available to us, so I don't think such a window is currently possible.

One could easily make one by incorporating dumms(I think that was his) code that lets you pick what maintained buffs you want to keep an eye on. Gm9 Will be along to give you a good link, cuz that's the way he rolls and I don't know where the search button is..

That might help you for when YOUR debuffs are on, but won't do anything to help you for seeing others, thus my answer

Yeah, and it's too bad mobs don't have an exposed unique ID. When you have 3 of the same mob debuffed and one of them is about to fall off it'd be oh-so-nice to be able to switch directly to it, or alternately to see your own debuffs' timers on the mobs while cycling. Ahh well, guess that's the challenge of a mezzer.

Well yea if they are not your debuffs. But then why would you be worried with the timer if they wasn't yours. If you are the RL you can plainly see what debuffs are on him and or should be. But if you want to know your buffs then it can be done.

Not really. Thats why most raids have macros for their procs and such (eg dispatch, chime of blades, etc.), to let folks know when stuff is going in.

You just have to sort of time it from when the time you see that macro until you know the duration should be up.

Another option, if you know the duration, would be to use something like ACT to time it.

I'm talking about what debuffs are on the mob. I can pretty much tell if the mob is properly debuffed just from the amount of debuffs on him. Any one that pays attention should be able to do the same.

Short term debuffs like dispatch will of course have to be announced.

... right, but thats the problem, the OP wants to make it OBVIOUS when dispatch (or whatever spell) is up on the mob or not. because thatd be awesome for a brigand to know, if there are other brigands on the raid.
