The Problem

The default Blizzard UI only tracks the Haunt debuff on your active target. When you tab-target to apply other damage-over-time (DoT) effects, the timer disappears. This makes it impossible to know when to return to your primary target to refresh Haunt, especially for players who hide their action bars.

The Solution

This addon provides a persistent 17 second timer that remains visible regardless of your current target. By using the provided macro, the addon designates your Haunted target as your Focus. It then monitors that focus frame to ensure the timer stays accurate while you rotate through other enemies.

Features

Persistent Timer: The countdown stays on your screen even after you switch targets.
Smart Reset: The timer clears immediately if your Focus target dies, allowing you to move to the next priority target.
Strategic Focus: Automatically tracks your primary target so you can maximise the damage bonus from Haunt.
Adjustable UI: Hold Shift + Click to drag the tracker to your preferred screen position.

Required Macro

To use this addon, you must replace the Haunt spell on your action bar with this macro. It allows the addon to track the debuff via your Focus frame:

Lua

#showtooltip Haunt
/clearfocus [dead][noharm]
/focus [harm]
/cast Haunt
