Announcer

Announcer was created to help with arena communication by showing the cooldowns of your teammates.

Playing double dps 2v2 or double melee 3v3 this could be useful if your teammates are not really on top of Vent communication etc. I.E. you wouldn’t want to silence your target if you know your teammate’s kick / KS is just off CD. OR if you’re playing war shaman this could assist you in your pummel / shock rotation.

This implementation ( 0.1 ), is more or less still beta, I have not tested every ability so feedback would be very appreciated.
I skimmed the lua syntax this week and checked out the Ace API so if any other authors see code that could be improved please feel free to contact me.


I have only implemented abilities that I thought were need-to-know:
-- Silence
-- Psychic Scream
-- Pummel
-- Intercept
-- Intimidating Shout
-- Kick
-- Kidney Shot
-- Blind
-- Counter spell
-- Spell Lock
-- Feral Charge
-- Earth Shock
-- Hammer of Justice


ADD / MODIFY spells and cooldown durations
----------------------------------------------------------------
To add abilities or change durations of the cool downs already supported ( say shadow priest has imp fear and needs to change the cool down ),
there is a table called "abilities" near the top of the Core.lua ( Line 37 ) where you can see and edit the spell durations or add more if you need.

Future Implementation
----------------------------------------------------------------
If I feel that this addon finds a solid user base I will try to add a few more features:
- user-set bar text
- Possibly another bar that tracks character control loss on teammates along with DR also
- Party notice when an included ability does not land
- More robust code
- Readme for adding abilities etc
- Menu for abilities to be displayed
- Clear bars on arena leave
- Spell id's so there is no need for user to tweak durations
- Color coded bars to illustrate misses / resists etc
- Options for cooldowns to be displayed
