Do any of you know of a Addon that allows me to (real time) see what my other 2 rogues times on their buffs, energy, and combo points?
Its critical running 3 rogues to beable to manage their HfB timings and SnD timings.
Thanks again.

Ya would love something like this myself. I got pitbul as it was supposed to have something for that. But im unable to find it.
I don't like pitbul much, and I was hoping for something smaller
Pitbull doesn't track energy "timers" or combo points on team members. It does track buff timers just like it does for yourself.
Ya it tracks energy, rage and mana. It does do combo points, but its not working right and after it hits 5 it just stayed that way. It was clutterd up too.
As far as i know, there is no way for a person to know how many combo points someone else has on something, unless both are suing an addon that communcates it like jamba does for other things. But I know Jafula doesn't want to make a unitframe addon/module, but maybe a party combo point tracker could work, where you could place it on/near your target frames or something, or where ever you'd prefer to have it.
I'd really like to see something in Jamba that did this with combo points and holy power. It's going to be a near necessity to make certain teams work in Cata I think.
If Pitbull is cluttered up, then you obviously haven't tried very hard. Pitbull is highly configurable but it won't just configure itself based on your feelings. You have to actually spend a few minutes changing options.Quote:

You can create "zoom" windows, which will show an enlarged area of the slave's screen on the master's screen. Not sure if other software has this option, but that would decent for combo points, energy, holy power charges, etc.
I spent an hour or more playing with it(mostly the combo pts issue). Pittbul isn't as configurable as I was looking for... Yes it's cluttered compared to what I want and have used before as a default. Other addons come nicely packaged, why bother wasting anymore time trying to clean an addon, that doesn't provide the combo pts part I was looking for. Xperl has the clean layout I like right now it just didn't have combo pts...Quote:

XPerl is like going to Best Buy to purchase a prebuilt computer, it is assembled and ready to go out of the box. Pitbull is likeQuote:

using Pitbull for years now and when I redo my UI, even I cannot configure it how I like it in an hour.
Many people here knock on Pitbull [or equivalent] because it is too difficult to setup and end up staying with the default
unit frames or XPerl. I haven't used XPerl in a very, very long time so I cannot fully speak for the addon in its current state,
but as far as I know and remember, it has never been nearly as configurable as Pitbull.
There's a recently linked youtube video for tracking Holy Power, via Power Aura's.
It's on the slave screen and not on the master screen.
But you could have an icon fill up most of the screen, or be otherwise incredibly obvious that you have full Holy Power.
Guessing, if you can track full charges (as opposed to partial charges) of Holy Power, you could do the same for Combo Points.
The trick would be, having it still playable if you were to PiP switch between characters.

Combo pts, holy power charges etc can be tracked in combat log.
For example if my paladin Crusader strike hits somenthing and it s fired "my paladin(other then me) gains 1 holy power with CS" in combat log, well, this data is avaible in combat log.
teorically, using some api events management functions it s possible extract these data when events occurs and manipulate to be showed etc.
Combo pts arent showed directly in combat log ofc.
because combo pts are effect of other abilites: for example if sinister strike hits something, this event is showed in combat log, and it s possible track sinister strike hits like add +1 combo pts and... so on for all rogues abilities that generate combo pts.
when a final move hits combo pts are resetted ofc (other event trackable).
more complicated could be tracking talent ability like Honor among thieves: but with good code that parse and analize combat log events (in case HaT requires addon tracks raid/party players hit critical) is still possible.
For example, this is like the addon MSBT works: MSBT is a combat log analyzer that generate its output for floating text watching what happens in combat log.
But it s a generic addon, built for tracking things for solo player. in MSBT you can see single combo pts gains from source different then you, but data manipulation lacks about things like know in real time total pts at any time etc etc.
All Unit frame addons dont use combat log for obtain their data: there are in API a lot of functions easier to use to tracking things like hp/mana/buff/debuff(read aura) etc etc.
Play with COMBAT_LOG_EVENT_UNFILTERED is pretty annoying. but with current API, it is unique way.
