Change Log:
--------------------
4.0.04
- Fixed icon display for "spell cooldown" bars watching items and for buff bars watching mainhand or offhead weapon enchants
4.0.03
- Added "Last Raid Recipient" as a target for buff bars. Great for spells like Beacon of Light, Lifebloom, Earth Shield, etc.
- Improved the system used for "Detect Extends". Hopefully this will fix the occasional occurrance of wildly incorrect extends. This also improves performance of those bars a little.
- Fixed a bug with talent swapping and talent spell cooldowns
4.0.02
- Fixed: Cancelling out of the interface options could cause values set to false to reset to true the next time the profile was loaded
- Tweaked "boss only" blink bars so that if the target is friendly, NTK will track if anyone in the raid is in combat with a boss
- Improved the look of the per-bar configuration menu, getting rid of radio button backgrounds
- Improved the usability of the equipment slot feature, changing the buff/debuff name into a submenu when equipment slot is chosen
- New feature: Import/Export bar settings. This allows settings to be copy and pasted between bars, or shared between users, or with me as tech support. This replaces the old "clear settings" menu option. To clear the settings now, just blank out the import/export string.
4.0.01
- Fixed: Characters which had never used NTK before could only use the first bar group (Ticket 116)
4.0.00
- Major update to support profiles
- Greatly improved the UI for selecting fonts and bar textures
- New bar type: Equipment slot
- Increased the maximum bars per group
- Reduced the minimum bar scale to 25%, allowing for very thin bars
- Updated toc for 4.3
3.2.08
- Fixed: blink didn't work with weapon imbues
3.2.06
- Updated combat log hander for 4.1 (targettarget bars). Also tried to make it a little more efficient
- fixed: "sum stacks from all casters" only worked for buffs
- Fixed problem with cooldowns sometimes not working after s...
Description:
--------------------
NeedToKnow lets you monitor specific buffs, debuffs, cooldowns, and totems as timer bars that always appear in a consistent place on your screen.
Note that 4.0 is a pretty big update. I recommend backing up your WTF folder before upgrading just in case there's a problem!
NeedToKnow is especially useful for monitoring frequently used buffs, debuffs, and cooldowns. For example, a rogue could configure NeedToKnow to show timer bars for Slice and Dice, Rupture, and their own stack of Deadly Poison VII. A death knight could use it to track their own diseases on a mob.
Features
Customizable bar number, size, position, and texture
Works with procs and on-use trinkets
Separate settings for each talent specialization (with profile support)
Track multiple buffs or debuffs with a single bar
Option for fixed maximum duration so that all bars in a group deplete at the same rate
Works with SharedMedia
Low CPU and memory usage
Overlay a cast time. For example, easily see when to refresh Vampiric Touch or when there's less Flame Shock than it takes to cast Lava Burst.
Support for watching totems by name (this includes non-shaman totems like Wild Growth.)
Support for temporary weapon enchants (like Flametongue Weapon)
Support for SpellID to eliminate issues with duplicate buff names.
Support for tracking single-target spells like Beacon of Light, Earth Shield, etc.
Please use the ticket system on CurseForge for bugs and suggestions.
Instructions
General options are available in the Blizzard interface options menu. You can type "/needtoknow" or "/ntk" to lock/unlock the addon. To configure individual bars, right click them while unlocked. Bars work while locked. If you only see full bars that...
