If this addon has helped you, please consider buying me a coffee! 🙏

Overview

Rewatch is a powerful addon designed to help Druid healers monitor their healing-over-time (HoT) spells with ease. The addon provides an intuitive interface with individual tracking bars for each group or raid member, allowing you to quickly see the status of Lifebloom, Rejuvenation, Regrowth, and Wild Growth effects. Simply click a spell bar to cast that spell on the corresponding player, and watch the timer count down as the HoT expires.

Party- and raidhealing has never been so easy!

Key Features

Real-time HoT Monitoring: Track Lifebloom, Rejuvenation, Regrowth, and Wild Growth timers for all party/raid members
One-Click Casting: Click spell bars directly to cast spells on specific players
Visual Feedback: Color-coded bars that change based on stack counts and remaining duration
Quick Actions: Swiftmend, Remove Corruption, Ironbark, and other utility spells at your fingertips
Smart Group Management: Automatically adds/removes players as your group composition changes
Customizable Interface: Adjustable layouts, colors, and display options
Combat-Safe: Proper handling of protected functions during combat

The Rewatch frame will appear in the center of your screen - simply click and drag it to your desired location
