RBT - Rogues Bleed Tracker

Garrote and Rupture coverage at a glance for Assassination Rogues.

RBT shows two round icons, Garrote and Rupture. Each one has a ring split into one segment per enemy you are fighting. The ring fills clockwise from 12 o'clock as more of those enemies carry your bleed, and the icon shows the count, for example 5/11.

The fill colour tells you how much of the pack is covered, using WoW's item-quality colours:

Works with Midnight's aura restrictions

Since 12.0, addons can no longer read enemy auras in combat. RBT never tries. Blizzard's own aura widgets work out the count, and RBT only arranges what they draw. No secret value is ever read by addon code.

Usage

The display appears automatically in combat while you are in Assassination spec.

A Garrote icon on the minimap gives quick access:

• Left click — open or close the options window.
• Right click — lock / unlock the frame (drag it while unlocked).
• Drag — reposition the minimap icon around the minimap.

Everything in the options window applies live — no /reload required.

Options window

The window uses Blizzard's native PortraitFrameTemplate, so it matches the style of BugSack, WeakAuras and other modern addons. It has three sections:

Behavior

• Show only enemies in combat — toggle between "in combat only" (default) and every hostile nameplate.
• Lock frame — uncheck to drag the display around the screen.
• Hide minimap icon — hides the Garrote icon next to your minimap.
• Debug mode — prints diagnostic messages to chat.

Appearance

• Invert ring order — show Rupture on the left and Garrote on the right.
• Ring size (px) — 16 to 128.
• Ring width (px) — 1 to 20.
• Spacing between rings (px) — 0 to 40.
• Gap between segments (degrees) — 0 to 20.
• Max enemies shown — 1 to 40.

A Reset frame position button at the bottom restores the display to its default location.

Slash commands

The window covers everything, but power users can still use chat commands:

All numeric commands apply live.

Notes

Enemies count once they are in combat and you have threat on them. Training dummies never enter combat, so use /rbt combat to test on them, and switch it back afterwards.

Enemies need visible nameplates to be counted.

Technical notes

• Performance: the AuraContainer chain (40 links per ring) is built in chunks of 8 per frame using C_Timer.After(0, ...). This avoids the frame hitch that would otherwise occur when rebuilding the display after a geometry change. During live slider drags, only Resize() is called (cheap SetSize/SetPoint updates); the full chain is only rebuilt once the user releases the slider.
• Combat lockdown: RBT never calls protected functions. The options window opens and closes freely even in combat.
• Event filtering: UNIT_FLAGS and UNIT_THREAT_LIST_UPDATE only trigger a rescan for nameplateN units, not for every unit in the world.
