It was an idea for how to handle multiple dots to see which one is yours, not sure how well it would work. The "dot tracker" was just an idea to the response "You will never ever track your own buffs in vanilla". I didn't intend to say that that specific feature should be in your addon.

These clever coding features are what makes me respect what people do. I love the trouble shooting end of problem solving. When I see great addons like that being made It inspires me to find solutions to addons I also would like to work on. On a side note, here are two of my ideas Renew. I'm not sure how well it would work or if it would start getting messy with dots falling off the target. Maybe when the dot with the timer is removed the personal timer could also be removed?

The only issue with that is addons lack alot of customization ( I understand why and don't fault creators for it ). For instance in luna I can't seperate my buffs / debuffs. I can't track only my debuffs or resize only debuffs I cast ect. So when I edit the ones I really like to fit my ui / addons I don' t have to bother you guys with "HAI CAN U ADD FEATURE FOR JUST ME K?" Even as is , the addons you guys make are great.

Will that work with this addon? "Shaguplates" http://shagu.org/shagucollection/ , or is it only for Customplates? Also, can you still see the timers ( attached to that nameplate) if you select a new target?

Just visually some things don't line up and there is no way to adjust it unless I go into the lua, It wont track dots ( for me) unless I added them in the lua. And the non resetting timers, I feel like I end up with alot of clutter ( The addon is good, I just don't need all the features it offers). I used the term sloppy becuase when I'm dotting things and I don't know what dots are about to expire I have to manually tab through everything to check their timers which ends up defeating the purpose of tracking them. I just end up clipping or missing ticks .If the mobs have the same names, the dots all expire at the same time when one of the mobs dies- this could be a limitation to vanilla/ tracking and just my ignorance. TLDR: I'm kinda trying to use the addon for something it wasn't made for. Since it lacks visual options it clashes with my Ui ( These I can add my self though so it's not a big deal ) It's still ten times better than anything I could make my self. This is still very much a WIP but it's the direction I'm heading. I'm still working on the artwork and replacing all the default blizzard visuals, some stuff still clashes and doesn't feel complete.It would be nice to not need the timers on left which it seems we have really good alternatives now. Slowly but surely~

Thanks, I tried enemyframes and it's decent but it's really sloppy and the timers wont reset if I reapply a dot. I would have to maybe look into learning lua and using the hook cast functions. I mean I mainly do the art end of addons, we shall see.

How does "Renews" dot timer addon refresh the dot timer on my target when I recast it? I can recast my dot at any duration and it starts it back at 24 seconds. It is some how doable , but I'm only "good" enough at lua to edit addons. Example:

The addon "enemyFrames" got the multi dotting to work , through character names. I don't know the tech know how but as long as the mobs have different names they wouldn't mess with each other's timers. The downsides to enemy frames was it didn't refresh the timer on a new dot application , and it didn't have the ability to create stand alone separate dot timers for my target .

Is there anyway to make this addon work with nameplates? Would be neat to also be able to have timers / debuffs on nameplates .
