BOLT - Beacon Of Light Timer

Version: 1.581

by: Daltanious [More]

by Daltanious of Kul Tiras

BOLT is my very first addon... so have mercy

Beacon of Light is the main weapon in the holy paladin arsenal, keep the Beacon up on a target (a tank for example) is essential but its huge spell cost (from 1536 base cost to 1306 with talents & glyph) doens't allow to be simply refreshed at random. An early refresh of Beacon of Light, if not forced by external causes (boss strategy), is a huge waste of mana and a precious global cooldown time.

BOLT, designed mainly for holy paladins, will help you to keep up the Beacon of Light, Sacred Shield and Judgements of the Pure spells/effects.

Features:

Beacon of Light, Sacred Shield and Judgements of the Pure trackers with the support of duration modifiers like glyphs and talents
Auto hide function when spells or talents are not available
Button focus: save an independent focus target for each button and right click to re-cast the spell on your saved target*
Real time duration check: if your buff get removed the countdown will stop with a sound alarm
Customizable sound and flash alerts
Button scaling, drag&drop, pin/unpin, custom alpha level
Auto hide when not in combat
Lightweight (50Kb) and non intrusive
Russian localization (if you want additional localization just send me the BOLTLNG.lua file properly localized: just remove the russian localization and add your own strings, I will add your translations on next releases)

Controls:

SHIFT - Doubleclick to Pin/Unpin a Button on the screen
CTRL - Doubleclick to set up a target as focus for BOL or SS

* due to Blizz limitation you can set the focus only when out of combat

For bug reporting please post a message in the official thread.
Check the changelog for versions details.

Just a question, is there a way to disable the name at the sacred shield and beacon of light timers.
I mean the name of the one you buffed, since at the moment I got the three icons next to eachother and when I look at Judgements of the Pure icon and the timer, it's in the center.
But the timer on BoL and SS is a bit higher up and it looks terrible tbh, and it's higher up because of the name,

No, atm there isn't a way to disable name plates. Everytime you cast a beacon or a sacred shield on a target the target name will be shown under the duration counter. Tbh I find essential to know where I casted my beacon / ss and I havent thought a simple way to disable this feature... btw I will try to add an option in future releases.

Heya,

Just a suggestion, would it be possible to clear the current focus of the recasts with Alt-Doubleclick or "/bolt clear" with maybe auto clearing when leaving a group/raid.

I personally and sure others would find it useful when changing from group to group.

I will try to do something in the next release.

Thx for your feedback !

Text scaling is too difficult to implement, atm Bolt trunc every name at 5 char length because a full length name (12 chars) is too long for the normal bolt button. On the other side if i reduce the font size the name become unreadable... so I copied the idea of Grid and reduced the name length.

There are some immune targets that you can keep your judgments on, but some when they are immune you can't put anything on, doesn't matter your class. Is there a way to distinguish them?

Atm I have no idea how to detect the failure of the spell on immune targets.
I will try to find something on the web.

I hesitate to suggest color since that's already used for overall duration, but perhaps a dot/asterisk when the judgement's still live and none when it's not? I tend to be a bit more focused on health bars than my judgement button or debuff timers and as my paladin isn't my main she's usually in 5-mans or 10-mans and at times is the only paladin (and thus the only possible JoL).

I will try to find a solution for this.

Rightklick on the Bolt Button to renew the spells with a set target is also not working for me.

Your suggestion is implemented now in v1.5, post a new screenshot of your UI so I can see the difference.

Thanks for the update! My UI has changed a little since then but it looks awesome now:
