LoseControl makes it easy to see the duration of crowd control spells by displaying them in a dedicated icon onscreen.
Features:
- Displays duration of all CC spells and abilities on your player, pet, target, targettarget, focus, focustarget, party, arena and raid frames.
- Support class interrupts.
- Support Shadowlands Raids, Mythics and Torghast Tower and WoW Classic Raids, Dungeons and Open World buffs/debuffs.
- Automatically displays the most important buffs/debuffs first.
- Integrates directly with Blizzard unit frames. Also supports SUF and Perl frames.
- Icons can be moved, resized, and made transparent.
- Compatible with OmniCC.
- Supports Masque skinning engine addon
Known issues:
- Unlocking frames does not show raid and arena enemy frames if they are anchored to Blizzard frames (because they don't exist unless you're in an arena or raid).

- You can report issues here.
To Do:

Hi, the option to duplicate an icon on a player's frame does not change through the Masque addon, the rest of the icons change. Is it possible to add texture to the icon in the center of the screen? As it is done by default on the standard interface. Make it possible to resize it. Thanks for the addon :)
In reply to Mastmage:
Hi! All the icons attached to Blizzard portraits can't change through the Masque addon, this is intentional.
The option to duplicate the icon on the player's frame is to allow the user to use the main icon whatever he wants (in the center of the screen for example) and this secondary icon in the Blizzard portrait (it cannot be freely configured).
All the non-attached icons can be resized, but again, the icon's attached to Blizzard portraits have fixed size and cannot be easily modified.
In reply to millanzarreta:
I use Shadowed Unit Frames, there is a square), so I wrote about it, since it turns out to be a very ugly sight.
In reply to Mastmage:
You are right. I will add this icon to the Masque group. In a similar way to the rest of the icons, the Masque template will not be applied if the icon is fixed to the Blizzard portrait, but it will do it for other portraits such as the Shadowed Unit Frames. Additionally, I have added a slider to be able to select the size for this icon. All these changes will be implemented for the next version.
Small 7.01 (retail) and 1.07 (classic) updates:
- For retail, added some missed Torghast and Dungeons spells, and added a lot of Shadowland world spells. Normally, I don't add world spells for retail version (although I do it for the classic version) because of the great work involved, but this time I have decided to add a large number of world spells (but not all, surely I missed some)
- Now the raid frames are disabled by default and the raid frames icons are only hooked to the raid frames if they are enabled and with anchor "Blizzard" selected. LoseControl supports raid frames icons, but the feature of anchor it to Blizzard frames is working only partially and is a bit bugged. To prevent Lua errors and other bugs, these raid frames are disabled by default. You can enable them if you want, but maybe some Lua errors can happen if they are enabled and anchored to "Blizzard". If they are enabled and without anchor ("None" anchor selected) should not occur any error, but obviously, in this case, you should place it to a fixed placement in the screen manually. A lot of work is needed to improve and fix the raid icons, I expect to improve them for future versions.
Not sure why, but suddenly Losecontrol started spamming this error on the stairs after Hungering Destroyer in Castle Nathria. We were not in combat.

In reply to Moreorlessmaybe:
This is a bug related with the hook of the raid frames, I will try to fix it in a future version, but for the moment the issue continues. Meanwhile, with the last 7.01 version, you can disable the LoseControl icons for raid frames if they cause problems, or you also can deattach the raid frames selecting "None" for the anchor. To clarify, this error should not occur if raid frames are disabled or if raid frames are enabled but not anchored to "Blizzard".
In reply to millanzarreta:
Ok thanks.
Is there a way to remove the spell lockout tree icons?
In reply to glips:
Not at the moment, but this will be an option that will be included in a future version.
Tried losecontrol on shadowlands but it doesnt appear to work at all, is this just a problem on my side or ? i've made sure i installed the correct version
In reply to pqxzz:
Is working right now, some Lua error? Maybe try to reset your configuration:
/lc reset
/reload
Hi!
New update for Retail and Classic! The main news is:
* Classic and Retail:
- Added raid frames support: It's just the beginning, I have plans to improve them in the future. For now, they can only be "free" or anchored to Blizzard's default raid frames. By default they are anchored to the "CENTER" of Blizzard's default raid frames, you can move them while maintaining the anchor by entering the new relative X, Y position in the textboxes from the LoseControl configuration panel. Remember that if you move a frame with the mouse to place it freely, it will be unpinned. This is a new feature and there may have bugs, do not hesitate to report them. As I said, in future versions, I will improve these frames to give more customization options (for example, to integrate with the debuffs shown in Blizzard's default frames or allow new anchor locations), suggestions are welcome. These new frames are enabled by default, you can disable it in the options if you want.
- QoL improvements in the configuration panel: now you have unlimited time to move the frames when they are unlocked, the sliders are more precise and without non-sense decimals (and you can set their value directly), and you can also set the position of the frames directly in a textbox.
* Retail:
- Shadowlands ready! Revised and added changes related to spells of all classes. Added spells related to the new legendary items and all those related to the new spells obtained with Covenants. A lot of new spells from Shadowland were added (World Bosses, Raid, Dungeons, and Torghast Tower). Adding all of these spells have been very hard work, expect some missing spells. Remember that the addon doesn't add spells from the world zones, quests, and world quests (only from raid, dungeons and torghast tower). You can report any missing or wrong categorized spell here. In the next few days/weeks I will try to bring regular updates to add the remaining spells.
* Classic:
- Added Naxxramas spells, be ready for the next raid! You can report any missing or wrong categorized spell here.
In reply to millanzarreta:
Thanks again.
In reply to millanzarreta:
The icons will display in the center of the screen if you use an addon like Luna to display raid-frames. It was quite annoying and lengthy to figure out ur addon caused this, spent hours fickling with my addons. Maybe you can consider having party/raid-buffs/debuffs disabled by default? Or perhaps prompting some dialog telling the player about this new addition and if they want to enable it first time its updated? I like the idea, but the roll-out and implementation to third party addons was not good for those using third party raid-frames.
In reply to DASSwow:
Yes this is not intended. LoseControl raid icons should not be displayed if Blizzard's default raid frames are not being displayed, this is a bug. I hope to fix it for the next version. Meanwhile, disable the LoseControl icons for raid frames if they cause problems.
Any hint why the cooldown text dont work with elvui? Omnicc loaded, "Disable Omnicc support" not checked
