After many painstaking hours of development and testing (huge thanks to all my friends that helped test!) my newest creation is ready for the general public.
TTSpellTimer
Summary
This is a stand-alone addon that will display various debuff and timer related effects for a large number of spell and abilities. Each class has a supported set of spells, which will be listed later in this document. Using this addon does not require you to create macros for each of your spell or abilities. Just install and play as normal!
Features
- Non-Intrusive. Timer window is shown in the far right.
- Works with numerous spells and abilities across all the classes.
- No need for you to create macros of anything! Just use spells/abilities as normal!
- The timer window can be moved and its position is saved for the next gaming session.
- Timer window can list up to 8 timers in two horizontal rows that only show the spell icon and time remaining. Plus 8 timers in a single vertical row that show the spell icon, time remaining, target name, and the name of the ability/spell.
- You can left-click on a specific timer to automatically target the named mob! (Note: This is inconsistant in PvE when multiple mobs have the same name, but great for PvP!)
- You can shift-left-click on a specific timer to remove it from the timer window. This is useful if you have timers that do not automatically remove themselves.
- TTSpellTimer will automatically modify the timer durations based on the rank of the spell cast!
- TTSpellTimer will automatically modify the timer durations if you have points in the appropriate talents!
- Each spell is highly configurable by using the settings interface, which can be reached through the slash command "/ttst".
- Each timer can be individually enabled/disabled. (In the spell/ability list on the left side of the settings window, disabled spells/abilities are colored grey.)
- Each timer can be configured to automatically post a message when it occurs. TTSpellTimer will only post a message once, first trying Emote, then Raid, then Party, then Yell, and finally Say. You can check/uncheck the appropriate options. If you uncheck all the options, no message will be posted.
- Each timer can be configured to display the spell name and/or the target's name. If both of these option are unchecked, the timer will be layed out in one of the two horizontal rows.
- Each timer can be configured to automatically be removed when you exit combat. Great for those debuffs that can last for minutes!
- Warlock pets are now supported! Seduction and Spell Lock!
- Shaman totems are now supported!
- Hunter pets are now supported!
- In the settings window is a new "General" option to modify a few addon wide settings.
- You can now disable TTSpellTimer through the "General" option in the settings window.
- You can now set the scaling for the timer window through the "General" option in the settings window.
- You can now position the timer window without having a timer active. To do this, use the "Move Window" button in the "General" options. When moving the window, click and drag it to anywhere you want, then press "Done". The four buttons that appear at the corners when moving are to force the timer to grow in that direction. Just click the button before clicking "Done". For example: You move the window to the lower right corner of the screen and you want it to grow up and to the left. Just click the small button in the upper left of the timer window then click "Done".
- Nearly a complete French localization! It still contains many bugs, but should work okay.
- Supports Rebirth, Concussive Shot, Counterattack, Scatter Shot.
- You can now set auto messages to post when casting begins.
- You can now disable timers/messages independently for each spell/action.
- Optional progress bars for spell timers!
- Message posting to a custom channel!

Known Bugs- Spells with a casting time (eg. Howl of Terror, Soulstone) and spells that do not apply a debuff may sometimes display a timer even if you cancel the spellcasting. This is a limitation of how Blizzard implemented the event messaging for spells. It can be worked around, but is not easy, so I have chosen to not fix it for the moment.
- The timer is very reliable solo, but can sometimes create timers for spells even though the spell was resisted. This is only occurs in large raids. At this time, it is easy for a user to work around this issue by just being aware of what abilites are resisted. I WILL have this fixed some day as soon as I find a method that I feel is reliable enough.
- Cancelling some spells with ESC while a targeting cursor is up may result in a timer being created. (Ritual of Summoning is notorious for this. Still investigating a fix.)
Instructions
Just install and use! Don't forget that using "/ttst" will bring up the settings window!
Conclusion
Please send or post any comments, bugs, or suggestions you have!

Troubleshooting
Q: The timer window doesn't seem to be appearing. What's the problem?
A: Make sure that the addon is actually loaded. You can verify this by using the slash command "/ttst". If the TTSpellTimer Settings window does not appear then the addon was not properly loaded by WoW.
A: It is possible that the timer window is appearing off screen and is working, but not visible. To reset the window location to its default position use this slash command "/ttst reset window".
Q: Is there a way to restore a spell's settings to the default settings?
A: Yes there is! Use the following slash command to reset a specific spell's settings to its default values, "/ttst reset <spell name>". Example: "/ttst reset Howl of Terror"
A: To reset
all spells to their default settings use this slash command, "/ttst reset all".
