CDNow - Cooldown Alignment Tracker

Tracks your passive buffs and procs in real time and shows a single alignment bar so you know the perfect moment to pop your cooldowns.

How It Works

CDNow monitors every passive proc and external buff you care about — weapon enchants, trinkets, Heroism/Bloodlust, Drums, class procs like Flurry — and combines them into one alignment percentage. When that number is high, your buffs have lined up and it's time to use your cooldowns.

0% — Nothing is active.
100% — Every tracked buff is up at full duration and full stacks. Go.

The bar color shifts from red → orange → yellow → green as alignment climbs, so you can read the situation at a glance even in the middle of a pull.

Features

Live alignment bar with smooth color ramp and percentage readout
Buff icons displayed above the bar with cooldown sweeps and remaining-time text
Configurable weight system (1–10) — assign higher weight to stronger buffs so the bar reflects their true impact
Stack and instance tracking — correctly handles multi-stack buffs (e.g. Flurry) and multi-instance buffs (e.g. Mongoose on MH + OH)
Time-weighted decay — alignment drops in real time as buffs fade, not just when they expire
Threshold alert — visual glow pulse and optional sound when alignment crosses your chosen threshold
Presets — built-in class defaults for Rogue and Warrior; save and load your own custom presets
Full config panel (/cdnow) — add/remove buffs by spell ID, adjust weights, set max stacks and instances, toggle options
Scalable & movable — drag the bar anywhere, lock it in place, adjust scale from 50% to 200%
Show/hide out of combat — bar auto-shows in combat; optionally keep it visible outside combat too
Tooltips on buff icons — hover to see spell or item tooltips (toggleable)
