Change Log:
--------------------
4.0.12
- Fixed Chi support, as 5.1 changed its power type index
- Added Combo Points as a type of power (even though it's not technically a "power")
- Added some sanity checking to hopefully prevent creating new profiles from gumming everything up. This was pretty rare and I still have no idea what caused it.
- Added a new appearance option: Font Outline
- Added a third "tooltip number" for power bars, which is the percentage. This was suggested by eightball1985 for arcane mages
4.0.11
- Updated TOC for 5.1
4.0.10
- Updated for 5.1
- Beginning of "power" bar support for things like rage, runic power, shadow orbs, etc. It doesn't decay properly.
4.0.09
- Can now show up to three "tooltip numbers", such as the current AP boost for Vengeance
- Fix for last raid recipient in cross-realm groups (ticket 137)
- Fix for taint issues in 5.0.4 (Blizzard fixed it already in 5.0.5)
- Fix for showing stacks without showing name (ticket 109)
- Some performance enhancements (removing some global function accesses)
4.0.08
- Fixed Last Raid Recipient in 5.0.4
4.0.07
- Fixed some LUA errors caused by adding and deleting profiles
4.0.06
- Reverted version compatibility shims, upped toc to 050001
4.0.05
- Initial MoP support (Still supports Cataclysm, so I left interface version at 040300. You'll have to enable out of date addons to use it.)
4.0.04
- Fixed icon display for "spell cooldown" bars watching items and for buff bars watching mainhand or offhead weapon enchants
4.0.03
- Added "Last Raid Recipient" as a target for buff bars. Great for spells like Beacon of Light, Lifebloom, Earth Shield, etc.
- Improved the system used for "Detect Extends". Hopefully this will fix the occasional occurrance of wildly incorrect extends. This also improves performance of those bars a little.
- Fixed a bug with talent swapping and talent spell cooldowns
4.0.02
- Fixed: Cancelling out of the interface options could cause va...
Description:
--------------------
NeedToKnow lets you monitor specific buffs, debuffs, cooldowns, and totems as timer bars that always appear in a consistent place on your screen.
Note that 4.0 is a pretty big update. I recommend backing up your WTF folder before upgrading just in case there's a problem!
NeedToKnow is especially useful for monitoring frequently used buffs, debuffs, and cooldowns. For example, a rogue could configure NeedToKnow to show timer bars for Slice and Dice, Rupture, and their own stack of Deadly Poison VII. A death knight could use it to track their own diseases on a mob.
Features
Customizable bar number, size, position, and texture
Works with procs and on-use trinkets
Separate settings for each talent specialization (with profile support)
Track multiple buffs or debuffs with a single bar
Option for fixed maximum duration so that all bars in a group deplete at the same rate
Works with SharedMedia
Low CPU and memory usage
Overlay a cast time. For example, easily see when to refresh Vampiric Touch or when there's less Flame Shock than it takes to cast Lava Burst.
Support for watching totems by name (this includes non-shaman totems like Wild Growth.)
Support for temporary weapon enchants (like Flametongue Weapon)
Support for SpellID to eliminate issues with duplicate buff names.
Support for tracking single-target spells like Beacon of Light, Earth Shield, etc.
Please use the ticket system on CurseForge for bugs and suggestions.
Instructions
General options are available in the Blizzard interface options menu. You can type "/needtoknow" or "/ntk" to lock/unlock the addon. To configure individual bars, right click them while unlocked. Bars work while locked. If you only see full bars that...
