Arcane Salvo Bar

A single clean bar that shows your Arcane Salvo stacks, with a marker at the stack count where you want to spend them.

Midnight's Secret Values restrictions mean addons can no longer read your own buffs during combat. Arcane Salvo Bar works around that by using the 12.1 AuraContainer system: the game client draws the stack count, and the addon only supplies the bar and the marker line. That means it keeps working in raids, Mythic+ and PvP, where a conventional aura tracker shows nothing.

What it does

• Shows Arcane Salvo stacks as a bar, scaled to your hero talent's cap
• Puts an adjustable gold marker at your spend threshold, 12 by default
• Optional Arcane Soul and Arcane Surge icons with countdowns, off by default
• Optional per-stack notches if you prefer a segmented look
• No borders, no backdrop, no glow. Just the bar
• Locks itself in combat so it can't be nudged, and clicks pass through it
• Plays a sound when you cross the marker (out of combat only, see below)

What it doesn't do

It cannot tell you what to cast. Nothing can any more. Blizzard's Secret Values system exists specifically to stop addons from making combat decisions, and this one respects that: it displays a number and a line, and you decide.

For the same reason the threshold sound only fires out of combat. No API reports "this aura reached N stacks" to an addon, so in combat the marker line is the cue.

Clearcasting is deliberately not tracked. Blizzard's default HUD already shows it clearly and a second copy adds nothing.

Commands

All commands use /ash.

Drag the bar to move it. It is only draggable out of combat.

Notes

Spell IDs are detected automatically by matching your buffs by name the first time it sees them, then cached. If you play on a non-English client and the bar stays empty, run /ash scan out of combat and set the ID by hand with /ash set salvo <id>.

Mage only. The addon does nothing on other classes.

Bug reports and spell ID corrections are welcome.
