DotFocus Features

DotFocus is DroodFocus continued!

Freely configurable Buffs / Debuffs tracker, energy monitor, combo points, power bar, player's healthbar, target's healthbar, player's manabar, threatbar, visual effects, cooldown on bars and icons for each spell, popup the icon of the ability whenever it becomes usable again, Buff / Debuff icon showing the remaining time on the debuff, the number of stack, the cooldown, timeleft for next tick for Dot, etc..., cast Bar, and much more.

Works for all classes (it has default configurations for feral/guardian druids, other classes can configure their spell lists manually).

Feral Druid: Spell IDs and dot power visualization

DotFocus is especially created for Feral Druid's special handling of Rip, Rake, Thrash and Feral Frenzy: Keeping track of the snapshotted damage buffs Tiger's Furor and Bloodtalons. It directly informs you, if a new bleed effect is stronger or weaker than the old one with a circle in the upper right corner of the debuff icon. The icons begin to blink, when you can overwrite them without loosing tick time (pandemic timers). Little dots at the bottom inform you, whether Tiger's Furor and Bloodtalons were active when applying the dot.

The displaying of the dot indicators (the three little circles in the icons for Rake, Rip, Thrash, Feral Frenzy, Moonfire) for cat form depend on the correct choosing of spell IDs:

Cat: Rake: 1822;155722 (activate ID scan!) -- Rip: 1079 -- Thrash: 106830 -- Feral Frenzy: 274837;274838 -- Moonfire: 8921;155625

Bear: Thrash: 77758 -- Moonfire: 164812

Moonkin: Moonfire: 164812

Dot powers and talents/spells: Rake, Rip, Trash and Feral Frenzy benefit from Tiger's Fury and Bloodtalons (if talent is chosen). Moonfire benefits only from Tiger's Fury. The addon shows the dot indicators only if the corresponding spell benefits and the right talent is chosen!

The order of the dot indicators is from left to right: Tiger's Fury - Bloodtalons

Dynamic update of spell icons

If your spell needs a constant update of the spell icon (e.g. New Moon or a hunter's Wildfire Bomb with Wildfire Infusion), go to your spell and press the "Config LUA code" button. In the lower left combobox pick the entry "Dynamic icon update". Make sure to use the main-ID from the spell from the spell book (e.g. 259495 for Wildfire Bomb) in your spell configuration.

Command line

/dotfocus <arg>

Arg:

'options' to open configuration panel
'configmode' to switch configuration mode
'reset' to reset configuration to default
'buff' or 'debuff' to see a list of actuals buff/debuff with spellID in chat

Is there a way to have an icon show as Inactive when you don't have enough power to use it? Trying to using Ready Mode and the Icon shows Active when the spell is off CD, but I would really only like to see it as Active when its both off CD and I have enough resource to cast it.

Very useful addon that helps to keep Feral rotations manageable!

Unfortunately it turns out to be the among the most CPU hungry addon I have installed, competing with the likes of Elvui, WeakAuras and Dugi guides. The main issue seems to be that CPU load increases by time, even when out of Feral/Cat form and with no combat happening whatsoever (just standing around. Castbar, energy bar and portrait disabled). A Reload UI resets CPU load back to a lower state, but in time it increases again and at one point it uses more CPU load than any other of my 112 addons.

In reply to EiniStein:

Turns out that the addon I used to monitor CPU usage wasn't properly measuring. CPU load does not ramp up, but is higher than every other addon to begin with.

It taxes the CPU the most when in Cat stance, but also uses more CPU when in Bear or Moonkin form. The latter surprises me, because no icons or bars for Moonkin are displayed anyway.

But even in other forms it still uses more CPU than my other addons. To give an example: Out of combat Elvui uses about 2 ms/s, WeakAuras (using complex Boomkin scripts) uses about 5.5 ms/s, DugiGuides about 5.0 ms/s and DotFocus uses about 9.2 ms/s. This is measured with just standing around doing nothing in no stance.

I have added a new default configuration "Minimalistic Druid 8.0". This is the configuration I use the addon with. It works for Bear and Cat without having to switch.

The hunter spell icon "Wildfire Bomb" is not updated dynamically when used with "Wildfire Infusion" and I'm sure the same problem happens to every spell that have multiple stacks.

Thank you and keep up the good work.

In reply to Laysson:

Edit: In version 2.1.0 this code is now available via the dropdown list in the lower left of the lua config window of the spell.

Blizzard is binding several different spells to one button there.

Try adding this code to your spell by the "Config LUA code" button

local icon
_, _, icon, _, _, _, _ = GetSpellInfo(259495)
DOF_namespace:icon_setTexture(DF_abiNum, icon)
return true

It doesn't solve the displaying of stacks on the icon though. But I hope it helps for the time being.

so i Thankyou so much for updating this addon for BFA first off, love it!

however, I am trying to make icons for berserk and incarnation...

i made a berserk icon and set it to show when (not) Incarnation talent selected

and made an incarnation icon and set it to show when Incarnation talent selected

but when i select the incarnation talent in the selection box then click another spell and back, the talent says restoration: cultivation

so now the berserk icon will show when (not) restoration: cultivation talent is selected

and incarnation icon will show when restoration: cultivation telent is selected

i cant get it to stick to the right talent in the "show only" talent selection

If i import the predfined Berserk spell and change to incarnation talent the icon changes but it doesn't show the cooldown or timer when actve

its all very confusing

Please try the following and tell me if that did solve the problem:

Switch into any of your specialisations (Feral, Bear, ...) and with each, open the DotFocus options window once. Then restart the game (or reload UI).

First off - Great work on taking on the addon, been using yours now for years and still love it

Issue I'm having is Rip is not changing to Ferocious Bite when target is sub 25%. I checked the spell ID's and such but still getting nothing for it.

Hey Snow

Sorry I wasn't able to check this until recently. I now have verison 2.1.0 and its still happening for me it does not change to Ferioous Bite sub 25%

I deleted the old Rip and created a new one as I though it might be an issue. Under "spells book" i no longer see Rip even listed. I looked up the ID and put it in as "1079" and made sure I had it as "Target Debuff" and on my icon bars 1. Cat form is check marked. would there be another setting I have to change?

@UPDATE@ Sorry never mind I figured it out, for some reason when I made a new rip it was not getting the LUA code. I went into your default feral one for 8.01 and imported the RIP from there that had it and drop it into my setup. Works great now. TY!

Thank you for the update!

Remark: A newly created Rip spell does not automatically get the LUA code. But if you create a new one with the "Add predefined spell" box in the upper right, then it gets the code.

Conversion tips for the 8.0.1 BfA Prepatch:

Don't forget to remove Ashamane's Frenzy from your spells list and to replace it with Feral Frenzy (ID 274837;274838).

My advise is to configure spells like Savage Roar, Brutal Slash, Bloodtalons, Feral Frenzy, Moonfire and Incarnation to be only shown when the selected talent is chosen.

Activate each specialisation of your class once if DotFocus is confused with talent specific spells.

Active ID-scan for Rake to suppress the stun from stealthed timer confusion

If you have spells like New Moon or Wildfire Bomb, that continuously change their icon, read the remark in the addon description to have that icon update automatically

Please describe your problem more in detail, can't reproduce any problems.

It's true with the green blob, I forgot to mention you need to install some custom textures (look in the post below for the source).

IIn reply to Snowcloud:

Sorry I should have been more specific to begin with my bad. So to begin with it wouldn't load at all. Even if I did a fresh install. Eventually found out if I hit default I could get the icons and stuff to show. I couldn't edit the spell list cause for some reason its just black no text. I know the spells are there cause if I delete them the icons and stuff will disappear. I'm wondering if another addon I have is interfering in some way. I may delete all my addons and reinstall all of them. I should also say it seems specific to me as my brother installed on his druid to see and it worked fine for him. Wish I knew Lua so I could just make my own addon so few ferals left it gets harder and harder to find good addons that live.

Everything seems to work now with today's update.

I appreciate that your still popping in and doing work here even though you said you would no longer be maintaining the addon Thanks for that,
