If there is one out there who know how to make addons for wow, take a look at this please

Tremor totem addon


1: First i would like the addon to show a timeline that indicates the pulsetime
forexample a 3 secound line that starts when you place the totem and then ticks down all the time

2: It has to show all tremor totems in the party and the correct pulse timer pr totem

3: If a tremor totem dies, it has to show its dead. So we will have an easier time replaceing a new




If you know how to make this, then give it a try also it could be very smart if this got combined with Jamba addon

Tremor is pretty easy to do.
According to the latest patch notes where it was mentioned, it now correctly pulses every 3 seconds.

Divide 3 by the number of shaman's in your team.
This is the ideal interval in seconds, between Tremor drops.

With 2 shaman's, you'd like a Tremor dropped every 1.50 seconds.
With 3 shaman's, you'd like a Tremor dropped every 1.00 second.
With 4 shaman's, you'd like a Tremor dropped every 0.75 seconds.
With 5 shaman's, you'd like a Tremor dropped every 0.60 seconds.

Just make yourself a castsequence macro, within warcraft.
Or set your broadcasting software to round-robin the keybind Tremor is on.

The important thing is to not drop Tremor via the 4-totems at once new feature.
You want to stagger them.

I run 4 Shammies with a Prot Pally.
So my ideal pace is a Tremor every 0.75 seconds.

Even if you have an addon show how often it is until the next one pulses...
You will manually have to drop the totems initially.
And you will manually replace the totems as they are destroyed.

It's pretty easy to just spam the key a second time, if needed.
I cannot see the advantage of knowing that Shaman #3 had their Tremor destroyed.
For this to work, you'd need a separate keybind for each shaman on your team.
So you could replace shaman #3's Tremor, without the others dropping theirs.
It would be so much easier to just spam one key, a few pressed over 3 seconds.

Yep just spam a button 4 times using round robin so that it's all good sp u don't get feared across the room, I'd u get lucky u won't even move on a fear and the lock he though they were all badass by jumping inside ur pod and fearing and thinking they had mad skills because they have a fear button.. Well that
could all be destroyed

Carbonite shows you KNOWN locations, not if the resource node is there.

I know they stack It was me who made the movie about, but thats not really what im asking for, im asking for a guy who can make an addon which shows a timeline of each totem, thats what I wish for.

Plus i have a hard time watching my tremor totems since we have so many totems down, so what I really want is something that show if they are up or not, and showing the timeline with pulsetimer would be a huge bonus ;)

I think the problem you would run into is the pulse is calculated off drop time, and that has latency between machines, so your pulse prediction would never be accurate.

Since you are looking for accuracy down tot he sub second level, I really don't think it's feasible.

That may be a problem yes, im running on one machine though. And i still got my hopes up, if the timeline is impossible to make so it works with the pulsetime, then it would also be good enougth to make some kind of buff bar that shows you got them up:)

Running on one machine doesn't matter a hill of beans. Once the totem is down, the server manages pulse times, not the client, so unless you're sitting in the datacenter for your server with a direct LAN hookup, your estimates will never be close enough to matter when you're in a spot where it WOULD matter. Also, it doesn't matter if you're on one machine or 4 machines, for your main to "see" the tremor totem drop, it has to go up to the server and back, which is a function of your network, not which machine it's on. ;)

1. what is the point of having granularity at this level? it's all approximations anyways (see 2.)

2. correct pulse timer is impossible. any graphical representation that you see are merely approximations. the wow client does not directly handle totem pulses. ie. we only know healing stream totems pulse because of the combat log.

3. best way to do this is to parse each individual shaman's combat log

That sounds true.

Lets skip the idea of a pulse time line then, but im still looking for an addon that show the party tremor totems so i can see if they are up or are getting destroyed :) this should be possible

A graphical addon, displaying buffs.
Should be possible.

I know Dot Timer can show buffs.
It also gives the option to turn off the Blizzard Buffs.
Some of the totems it just shows once, no matter how many are down.
Others it shows one icon for each totem in place. I know Grounding is in this latter category.

Pitbull's unit frames can show buffs.
It also has the option of making your own buffs larger.

I don't have the expertise to write an addon, but it should definitely be doable.

You can setup power aura's to show this i believe. You could have it show in one of two ways actually. You could show it as having the buff or not having it. I'm not sure it can seperate who's totem is who's though. Would have to look at it and see
