At first I was skeptical, “How will a weakauras string track what full fledged addons frequently have trouble with?” Despite this suspicion, after using this string for a full raid night with zero issues, I’m sold. There isn’t an official name for the project, likely because it is just a weakauras string, but I’ll refer to it as the “WeakAuras Raid Tracker” for now. I’d rather rely on my memory and rotations rather than being potentially mislead by a faulty addon. This always bugged me, but I wasn’t willing to settle for “half-working” addons like Hermes and BLRCD. However, occasionally you would miss when a cooldown is up if it was not assigned to a very specific moment in the fight.
For most fights this was fine, make a set rotation of three or four sets of cooldowns, and cooldowns will come up right when you need them. However, I personally still encountered similar issues with BLRCD that I experienced with Hermes (albeit, far less frequently).Īfter two addons that did not work how I had envisioned they would, I gave up and went back to the old fashion method. Eventually it was developed more and released on the Curse network. In fact, originally you needed to download the zip files off of a random file upload website. This addon was far more reliable than Hermes, but was only being very sporadically developed for the public. Having a raid cooldown tracker that randomly forgets important cooldowns does more harm than it is worth.Ī few years ago, Blood Legion released one of their proprietary raid addons to the public – Blood Legion Raid Cooldown. For example, we’d have two restoration shaman and the addon would tell me that the raid has a total of one spirit link totem. The addon would randomly not track some cooldowns. However, I’ve always run into issues with it. Over the years, Hermes has dominated the “tracking raid cooldowns” space for World of Warcraft addons. However, it seems like this new string works extremely well! Hit the jump to find out more. I’ve struggled for a long time with malfunctioning Hermes and Blood Legion Raid Cooldown addons, and eventually just removed them entirely in favor of keeping timers in my head (yeah, that bad). I recently stumbled upon a new WeakAuras 2 string on the official World of Warcraft reddit that piqued my interest.
