Slave Cooldowns : I think Jamba-proc is poorly designed. Someone know an alternative to Party Ability Bars ?

Jamba is one of the greatest things that could happens in the boxer community. I love this addon.
But using bars to track cooldown sucks.
Buttons are much more usefull for boxer, so we can setup click repeter (or keybind) to them and gain a lot of control on our boxing team.

I want to track my slaves cooldown with something like this :

In the past, that was doable with an addon called "Party Ability Bar" but it don't seems to work anymore... ;/

Someone know an addon who do the same thing ?

I'm the only one who need or see an interest in something like that ?

Could be interesting :)

I'm clearly an hudge fan of jamba, it's just his tracking cooldown function that don't suit me.
And so, i wonder if i'm the only one who can find some interest in something like i described.

I admit the offensive tone was a eyecatcher.
If i offended Jafula, i give him my sorry (and a 5 bucks donation).

Thought i think that i'm suggesting a tool that can be usefull for our community and i wonder if someone here have a clue how can i setup this.
Can we fix Party Ability Bar ?
An alternative addon ?

Well, if you prefer buttons over bars, why didn't you just name the thread something like that? I'm not sure whether you've noticed but we're not real big on fake drama around here, especially threads that are inflammatory just to get attention. Take that shit to the wow general forums where the 12-year-olds appreciate caustic hyperbole. I recommend you edit your original post/title or have a mod help you with it.

You really don't need to flame a Jamba feature to get a response from Jafula. A nicely worded feature request should do nicely.

I utterly respect jafula and his jamba addon, but i think jamba-proc is poorly designed and i don't see why i can't say it.

You can say it like this an not sound like a douche.

The way you stated it in your title does the opposite and part of your OP, however, do. You admit to doing it to be eyecatching and that kind of behavoir doesn't fly here with most of us.

I like your idea; will keep it in mind next time I am thinking about doing procs and cooldowns.

If your approach was, "A suggestion for Jamba Proc... or does anyone know an alternative that can....", I'd think you'd get a much better response.

Cannot help you sorry, but is summary you want:
a) Display a button per cooldown/ability of the slaves.
b) A timer on the button, to know the cooldown.
c) Buttons which are clickable and tied to the buff in question.

c can be nice but it's optional.
On the main screen we can setup only non-clickable icons.
Put an isboxer click repeter zone.
And setup a macaroon custom bar for slave with exacly the same shape.

So if i click on a cooldown icon on the main screen, it send the click to the slave action button.

This was my goal with Party Ability Bar but it seems it doesn't work anymore.

(Sorry, if my english is bad)

i like the idea, but here's my 2 cents about it:
- first you need to define which abilities to go on those button bars, as they list can grow very quickly. To your example you can add a couple more shocks, Chain lightning, thunderstorm etc.
Maybe a setting to only show abilities with a cooldown greater than x seconds or something, or the possibility to remove/add abilities to that bar (i don't really need to see the earthelemental CD for example)
- assuming it goes next to the jamba bars it will be ok, if not it will be subject to the toon order (for repeater clicking)
- the "do it for all" bar is a good idea, but will require big tweaking for mixed teams (and will contain ALOT of buttons)
