I am a priest. I heal warriors.

When I have my warrior selected, I see his 16+ buffs on the default target frame, but find it very difficult to see whether my Renew is active on him. Too much information!

Is there a mod that:

a) Can filter the buffs shown on the target frame so that only buffs I can cast are seen.

or

b) Sorts the target frame's buffs so that the ones with the least remaining time show up first. i.e. 10 seconds left on my Renew so it would show up to the left of all buffs with more than 10 seconds remaining.

or

c) Show some kind of status indicator (maybe over the avatar's picture) that shows Renew is active on my target

I have looked, but not seen any addons that do this.

Thanks so much

Try looking in Interface Options, it'll help.

Natur EnemyCastBar (http://ui.worldofwar.net/ui.php?id=2881) can be used to monitor HoTs (heal over time) as well as spells that mobs are castiing (as well as duration of mob DoTs etc.).

I use this AddOn all the time in raids for both HoT monitoring so I know when to fire off another Rejuvenation on a tank in additon to monitoring things like the Bloodlords (ZG) "Watch" so I know the duration of that debuff to determine when I can cast again.

Most party frame mods will let you display only the buffs that you can cast. I'm sure that Discord and Sage both provide this.

I use BigWigs for that :D

I use (and love) BigWigs too, however I like the fact that the timers (casting times and HoTs) I need are in one place next to my raid frames (X-Raid and oRa). It could be that NECB is hooking into BigWigs for that data. Who knows? It works for me and I am a very happy druid.

I had a slightly older version of BigWigs that did not have the casting bars in it (at least not enabled by default). I have since downloaded the latest version (the new Ace2 version) which has those bars enabled by default. I will see if I have a screenshot of NECB in action.

EDIT: Here is a screenshot of NECB time a HoT.

It an older less organized version of my current raid UI (which is a work in progress)

I do not worry so much about memory usage. I very rarely encounter lag, usually in a raid when I have a buttload of mobs on screen and ALL of the Mages, Warlocks and Druids are AoE everything to death. And even then that is manageable. Usually (99% of the time) I get lag due some resource eating process on my machine is running or has started running (ie things like my Antivirus scanner deciding to scan which has since been fixed, or I have a Trillian chat window open, or multiple Explorer windows since I am sometime multitasking :rolleyes: ).
