DotWatch

DotWatch is a minimalist World of Warcraft addon for tracking your DoTs (Damage over Time spells) on your last targeted enemy. Built for Affliction Warlocks in WoW Classic, it provides a clean visual display to keep you informed and efficient in combat.

✨ Features

• Tracks DoTs you cast:
  • Siphon Life
  • Corruption
  • Curse of Agony
  • Immolate
• Only shows the last valid non-friendly target (even if deselected)
• Shows countdown timers for DoTs with less than 8 seconds left
• Displays enemy health and mana/rage/energy bars
• Clean, centered UI with pastel color-coded DoTs
• Performance-optimized: updates only while in combat

📦 Installation
