Burst Cooldown Tracker
A compact, movable icon bar that shows your burst (major offensive)
cooldowns at a glance — so you can line them up for a burst window.
Built for World of Warcraft: Mists of Pandaria Classic (5.5.4).
What it tracks
- PvP trinkets — on-use Badge of <type> and proc Insignia of <type>
(recognised across all seasons). Non-burst trinkets (Medallion, Emblem)
are ignored.
- Profession procs — tailoring cloak embroideries (Swordguard / Darkglow
/ Lightweave) and engineering glove tinkers (Synapse Springs / Phase
Fingers). Shown only if you have the profession and the enchant.
- Custom spells — add any ability by its spell ID.
The icons
Each icon has three states:
- Ready — bright icon.

- Active — bright + pulsing glow + green timer (its buff is up).

- Cooldown — greyed out + cooldown sweep + amber timer.

A small white number in the corner shows stacks (e.g. Tigereye Brew charges)
while the source is idle.
Setup
For most sources there's nothing to do — equipped trinkets and profession
enchants are detected automatically, and their buff IDs / cooldowns are filled
in from a built-in database.
Open the options with /bct config (or ESC → Options → AddOns → Burst
Cooldown Tracker) to:

- toggle tracking per source,
- fix a Buff Spell ID or Hidden CD if auto-detection was wrong,
- add custom spells — type a Spell ID, or pick an ability from your
spellbook (a scrollable list of your cooldown abilities),
- set the bar icon size and anchor / grow direction,
- group items that share a slot (e.g. on-use trinket + Synapse Springs).
Settings are saved per character.

Notes
- Tracks your own cooldowns only.
- Proc trinkets / embroideries have no cooldown API, so their "hidden CD" is an
estimate timed from the proc — correct it in the options if needed.
