DontCast
Last Updated: Oct 8, 2017 Game Version: 7.3.0
DontCast
Warns a player when their current target has buffs or debuffs that eliminate (or significantly mitigate) incoming damage. The default buff/debuff list will switch modes (between magical and physical) depending on the current spec of the player. Displays the name and icon of the buff/debuff, as well as a timer displaying a countdown of time remaining until the effect expires. Buffs and debuffs can be added and removed with the appropriate slash commands.
Default Buffs/Debuffs
- Anti-Magic Shell (Magical mode only)
- Aspect of the Turtle
- Blessing of Protection (Physical mode only)
- Blessing of Spellwarding (Magical mode only)
- Cloak of Shadows (Magical mode only)
- Cyclone
- Deterrence
- Die by the Sword (Physical mode only)
- Diffuse Magic (Magical mode only)
- Dispersion
- Divine Shield
- Ethereal Form (Physical mode only)
- Guardian of the Forgotten Queen
- Ice Block
- Imprison
- Nether Ward (Magical mode only)
- Netherwalk
- Paralysis
- Polymorph
- Riposte (Physical mode only)
- Shield of Vengeance
- Smoke Bomb
- Spell Reflection (Magical mode only)
- Temporal Shield
- Touch of Karma
Prior to version 1.3.7 any auras added to the default list (e.g. Dispersion in v1.1.3) would not be enabled for players updating to (or beyond) that DontCast version. This was changed in v1.3.7 (e.g. all players will now have Aspect of the Turtle enabled by default) but this required changing how auras are removed/disabled. As a result any players that prior to v1.3.7 disabled an aura (via /dontcast remove) that is on the default list will have that aura re-enabled. Auras disabled in v1.3.7 (or higher) will not be affected by future changes to the default list.
Commands
/dontcast add NAME- adds the named buff or debuff to the base list of auras (those that will show in either magical or physical mode)/dontcast addm NAME- adds the named buff or debuff for magical mode only/dontcast addp NAME- adds the named buff or debuff for physical mode only/dontcast remove NAME- removes the named buff or debuff/dontcast threshold #.##- set the threshold for changing color of countdown text/dontcast show threshold- display the threshold color of countdown text changes/dontcast list- display what will trigger the warning/dontcast default- reverts to the default triggers/dontcast show- Shows the addon and allows repositioning and resizing/dontcast hide- Hides (and locks) the addon/dontcast center- Sets the position to center of screen/dontcast config- Opens the options UI/dontcast ?or/dontcast help- Prints the command list
TODOs
- customizable text colors
- integrate adding/removing auras via options UI
- set expiring soon threshold to a provided spell's cast-time
- add support for immunity effects not shown as aura on target player (e.g. Counterstrike Totem, Mass Spell Reflection)

Posted Jun 24, 2017Hi! Thank you very much for this addon, I really love it. I wanted to ask - do you still plan on adding a default list for melees with a toggle option? Also is there an option to make the notification centered around the middle of the notification? Because at the moment it looks like the icon is always in the same spot, which makes the text uncentered unless it's a specific length. I don't know how to explain it, sorry.

Posted Jun 25, 2017Glad you like it, sorry I haven't been giving this addon much love beyond bug fixes. I'll try and add melee mode soon (and along with that will change config from account-wide to per character), hopefully within the next few weeks.
As for the centered text I'm not sure if you mean centered horizontally or vertically. It should always be centered vertically, the horizontal alignment isn't intended to be centered, it's intended to be left justified (I'll investigate if there's a bug where it's being centered some of the time and fix accordingly).

Posted Jul 4, 2017Ah yes, I've meant centered horizontally, which it is not (no bugs there, then!). Is it possible to add an option for centering horizontally? :D

Posted Jul 24, 2017The version just uploaded (v1.4) implements the planned melee mode. The addon will now automatically switch between a list catered to Magical damage and one for Physical damage based on the current spec of the player.
It also allows changing the font alignment (to be either center, left, or right justified) via the options panel (though please note configuration is now per-character instead of global, the pre-1.4 global config will automatically be set for each character on first login after updating to 1.4 but since font alignment wasn't an option previously it will need to be set for each character).

Posted Jan 14, 2017Thanks for the Swatter output, that really helps. Pretty sure this was a regression introduced in v1.3.7 and would affect anyone using the addon for the first time (or after clearing their cache). Just uploaded a new version (v1.3.9) that should fix this, please let me know if you're still having issues after updating to that.

Posted Dec 28, 2016Sorry to hear it's no longer working for you but hard for me to debug without an error (and/or the ability to replicate the problem). Best I could suggest is maybe trying /dontcast default to make sure the trigger list is populated and /dontcast center to make sure it didn't inadvertently get moved off screen (can then use /dontcast show to relocate it).

Posted Dec 19, 2016Thanks, some of those are definitely good suggestions that I'll add to the default list. You can expect Nether Ward, Shield of Vengeance, Blessing of Spellwarding, Guardian of the Forgotten Queen, Netherwalk, Imprison, and Temporal Shield to be on the default list in the next update (which I'll knock out later tonight).
Counterstrike Totem and Mass Spell Reflection would be nice to include but require a bit more work (especially the totem), I'll see what I can do after the holidays. Dark Pact is something I've been on the fence about (since it's an absorb with no adverse effect some players just burst through it, especially if the lock is otherwise the best target in range).
As for the physical immunities you mentioned right now adding them as defaults isn't really within the spirit of the addon which is aimed primarily at casters (it is called Don't Cast after-all ha) so I don't want to add them as defaults. Down the road I may add the option to toggle between a caster list and a melee one - for now though the addon is customizable and you can add those by typing /dontcast add NAME into your in-game chat window (replacing NAME with the buff/debuff you want to add, e.g. /dontcast add Riposte).
(PS, sorry for the delayed response, for some reason I never got a notification of your post).

Posted Nov 4, 2016Looks like this happened when you were attempting to open the config window via slash command (`/dontcast config`). Is that correct? I was unable to replicate it by opening config either via command or Options->Interface->Addons->DontCast. Did this happen just once or every time? If you reload your UI via `/reload` does it then work?

Posted Feb 15, 2015Hey!
Still having problems with queing, same problem as AkeGamer and I've updated to version v1.3.2, however sometimes it works when I either relog or restart, but it seems totally random and sometimes the fix won't work. Really sad as the add-on is great.
