addons, what works and what to look for?Follow

been looking around but I can't seem to find what I'm looking for.
One cooldown addon that sends a text on the screen, like "feral charge is ready" etc that I saw in the Deep Feral 5 video on WCM, would love to see when cooldowns are up that i cannot currently see because im in another form.

Something that shows manabar while in animal form, would like to keep track of the other forms while not in them.

Nothing fancy and advanced just something simple and clean and 2.4-compatible.

As a sidenote I was trying out gear-swapping addons, and while trying on Outfitter it had a function that would make it possible to automaticly switch to your bear-profile equipment when going into bearform, cat for catform etc.

Looked amazing but I couldn't get it to work, and while Itemrack seems easier to configure to me, it doesen't seem to have those functions.

So I guess I'm looking for:

1) cooldown addon that tells me stuff not just shows numbers on the actionbuttons.(thats easy to manage)

2) Clean and simple enhanced Health/mana/energy/rage bars

3) If anyone can confirm that there is a 2.4 gear-swapper that CAN work automaticly with form-shifting I would love a walkthrough/explanation on how to make it work.

Outfitter works without problems. It can't make the impossible happen, though, which would be switching anything but your weapons and idol while you're in combat.

yeah thats true I suppose, but I was in town non-combat when tryng to get it to work, maybe I just had an old version for the current patch or was just doing it wrong somehow.. is there any other addon you need installed that Outfitter is dependent on to work then?

As far as the mana bar goes, there's a really nice addon called Druid Bar that I've been using. It lets you select where you want the bar to be, and when it's visible, etc.

i think scrolling combat text has some kind of cooldown indicator that tells you when certain things are ready. altho i may be confusing that with something else.

I think you are quite right. SCT does that. I dont remember if SCT is 2.4 compatible. I think I stopped using it because it took forever to get compatible to 2.3 :D

For the mana bar, I'm using Pitbull (ace2) (unit frame addons). It can show a mana bar even in feral forms. It is compatible with 2.4

Outfitter works fine with me. I got different outfit, my tanking gear, dps gear, healing gear that is switching depending on my form (or a simple click).

The speed increase trinkets got equiped depending if I use a mount or my flightform.

Regarding out-of-date addons I highly recommend this program called WoWMatrix. It scans your addons and lets you update them very quickly and easily. Just google the name, go to the site and download it.

So by making sure I actually have the leatest version of everything, 2.4 enabled, I now got the Druid Bar (love it), and the outfitter to work with forms (love it more) and the scrolling combat text.

I still haven't been able to find the sort of Cooldown notification text addon I'm looking for. "Feral Charge Ready!" big text above the char in Deep Feral 5 for example, can that be setup in SCT aswell somehow or does anyone know which particular cooldown addon has that feature?
