Mod to show party members' self-buffs?

[Otlecs]

I've made the transition to IS now, and although it's been mostly a positive experience, I'm still stuck - permanently apparently - with the fuzzy, unreadable rendering of my four followers. I fully understand the reason for this, and the benefits it bestows - I'm just stating facts.

With PAB to show me party cooldowns and whisper relay reinstated to Jamba (thanks Jafula!), the only two things I'm missing are guild chat relay - which I hope will make an appearance in a future version of Jamba - and seeing "own buff" durations on my drones.

Things like weapon imbues and shields on shammies, for example.

I can't use IS's rollover zooming - it just doesn't work properly, in that it often zooms "under" other windows, blocking the buff region I want to see - so I'm looking for a mod to relay the information to the other party members.

In a nutshell, then.... does anyone know of an add-on that will show my drones' remaining self-buff durations?

Currently, I just rebuff before each boss which is no real drama, but I'd like the information right there in front of me.

Thanks in advance

I use ZOMG buffs and it shows all buffs and has a button to rebuff when needed. even on the small screen, you can see the blinking button and it posts a message "such and such needs this buff. easy to use as it remembers what buff you used on whom.

Thanks Al.

I use SmartDebuff to get a similar effect, with the rebuff set for two minutes before the buff actually expires. That's all fine and dandy for short encounters, but not so good for longer ones, where a buff might run out mid-fight.

I have a couple of workarounds - always rebuffing and making the auto-rebuff happen even earlier are both options - but I just wondered if anyone has managed to solve the problem of "knowing" what the self-buff timers look like for their drones.

It's not a show-stopped by any means. I just like having information at my fingertips

Zomgbuff is better than smart buff in this regard as it makes a clickable button for in combat buffing I just stick it in the same place on all my toons and set up a mouse region to click it

I already have a means to rebuff in combat. A couple, actually - Smartbuff has a "rebuff in combat" mode, and for my shamans I have a specific key with a castsequence of shield followed by weapon imbue.

The sequence has a reset so that I can easily re-cast just my shield during a fight, which is all I need most of the time.

The only problem I want to solve is getting the timers on my main screen. Really.

Check out an addon called Raidbuffstatus its not quite what you want as it doesnt have timers. Try also Big Brother.

I am curious as to why you need the info on your main screen though would it not suffice to know that you are fully buffed?

Do you use Pitbull? You can configure it to show filtered buffs for your party with the current duration and charges if applicable on your main. You might need a timer like OmniCC to add the duration, but Pitbull will allow you to decide which buffs to show on the party frames and current charges.

I can't figure out how to make it show weapon buffs, though, but those are generally long enough that something else is expiring at the same time.

This is an example from my main {I usually only show vital buffs...ES, Procs, Flasks to make sure the right ones are up...} -



Edit - OmniCC won't show the duration by default because of the size of the buff on the frame. You might have to go into OmniCC's options and lower the "Size Threshold" to make it pt the duration on the buffs in the party frame.

That's the sort of thing I'm after Khatovar! Thanks.

I don't use PitBull though. I'm an Xperl addict, but perhaps OmniCC will integrate with that in a similar fashion.

Cheers!
