Tracking short buffs on other players?

[gotmilk0112 10]

In specific, I'm looking for an addon that will track the timer of Shaman's "Healing Way" talent.

 

I tried Chronometer, but it doesn't want to work. Sometimes it tracks Healing Way on others, sometimes it only tracks Healing Way on myself, and on top of that, the timer is not accurate. When you refresh the buff, Chronometer does not refresh its timer to compensate.

MPOWA can do this

Can it track the buff without having that player targeted? Doesn't seem to be able to, at least, with ungrouped. It properly tracks the buff, but stops showing as soon as I stop targeting the player.

 

Chronometer also seems to work on these un-grouped players...not sure why it's refusing to work when I'm in a group.

 

Both addons, however, have an issue with the timer when Healing Way is stacked up to 3. They don't properly refresh the timer to 15 seconds. Once you get 3 stacks of Healing Way, neither addon will refresh the timer.

 

Also, Mpowa resets the timer every time you un-target and re-target.

The problem is that vanilla has no refresh event for buffs, meaning both addons can't know if it is refreshed or not.

If you select Raid/Group member and use the described notation, it should work.

It won't work for ungrouped members, because there no event is fired. For that purpose Chronometer and MPOWA work different. Chronometer seems to parse the combat log and MPOWA waits for Aura events.

cheers!
