Seeing Buffs & Cooldown timers

[trancekat]

Hello all,
I've been banging my heads against my keyboard for the better part of a day trying to find a way to show buffs and cooldowns of my minions. I've been working in WeakAuras2, but not having any luck. I'd like to show how long Slice and Dice has for each of my 3 rogues, as well as cooldowns such as Evasion for each as well.

How have you accomplished seeing buffs (and remaining time on those buffs) as well as cooldown timers for your slave characters, please?

Thank you.

Assuming retail...

If Slice and Dice gives a buff where the remaining time is visible to your main character, then weakauras can show it. In the trigger you want to select Aura and unit is 'party1', check name and type 'slice and dice', uncheck 'only show own'; in the display tab you want to arrange the show cooldown options to your liking and in one of the text things put 'party1' so you know which minion it is. Then just duplicate that 3 more times for party2, party3 and party4. Why also party4? Well you never know which toon is going to accept party-invite first, so your rogues could be on any position in the party.

Evasion needs a different technique. You want to make a trigger based on combat log event. Whenever it sees Evasion in the combat log, it should start a cooldown timer, i.e. right at the bottom there's an option 'hide' and you fill in 120 seconds. Once again, you will need to make 4 of these, for each of party1..party4.

Apologies for not specifying beforehand, but this is Classic. I struggled with WA and Zen Tracker for hours yesterday, and I suspect that Zen Tracker simply does not work in classic.

I imagine you're trying to have this info natively on your driver....but, what I did for this was to set up a CD tracker on the top of the screen of my slaves and crank the UI scale up as high as it goes so you can see it well when it's not the main screen. Did the same with combat text; incoming damage on the top right outgoing top left with max font so you glance down and see what's going on even with the screen minimized.

I am curious to check out some of the raid leader addons for this too. (Exorsus Raid Tools).
