Can't seem to get the new Nature Enemy Cast bar to work anymore. Apparently it's been completely overhauled recently?

Does anyone know of any other decent HOT timers out there I can use on my Resto Druid?

Thanks!

You can use DOT timer, it gives you timers on all your active HOTs (and who they are on) and cooldowns.

Class timers is another great mod.

It will give you 3 bars, one for your target, one for yourself and one for your focus, you can move them wherever you want on the screen and they will stack down from wherever you place the bar with the name, seconds left and how many stacks you have placed on that specific person.

Also works with any active buff/debuff (mangle, frost shield, etc..) you can place on targets/players.

Personally, I use xperl, or FocusFrame to have a unitframe display for my focus target, and I place it right over Healbot so it's easy to watch. On multiple targets you're basically always casting in rotation so I don't need anything to help with the timing.

I have tried Lifebloomer in the past and it's pretty well done. You add the targets you want to monitor and it will show you for each the number of lifeblooms stacked, how long is left (with the bars turning red when you really should refresh it) and the global cooldown as well.

I've heard that Grid is a nice UI for healing. I know there are some plugins for that that keep track of HoTs and durations and such. I personally haven't used it yet, but that's what I'm planning to use for my upcoming switch to resto.

I'm using Grid + Clique when healing (instead of Healbot). I tried both and didn't like Healbot that much.. it was taking too much space and if I remember correctly I had difficulty with setting it up (my keys, etc..).

Grid does indicates your hots... but it's not like a timer. Actualy, mine isn't. My little dot will change when Rej and regrowth are about to expire, I have enough time to cast it back.. but for lifebloom, the timer isn't helping. The bars will help since the one I'm using (cant remember which one tho) writes the number of seconds left.

I just installed Lifebloomer and am loving it, but i noticed something that bugged me in the Description:

Note

It is possible to stack lifebloom on up to 4 targets and no more (in 2.4 you will be able to do 5 by stacking spell haste), this requires a very active player and no "line of sight" issues. However doing so will drain your mana fairly fast so you don't want to do this if you do not have to.

WTF... I want to do 3/4's of my potential healing?

Before that he even noted:

ideally, you will reapply lifebloom when the bar turns purple, this purple region indicates when lifebloom has 1 second plus your lag left. if you cast it when the bar is purple, your previous lifebloom will get it's 5th tick in before the next one is applied. when the bar turns red (1 second left) you know that lifebloom will run out very soon if not promptly reapplied. Do not wait until the last millisecond to cast lifebloom because your lag will cause you to lose your stacks.

He is advising to get 5 ticks out of LB instead of 6... Blizzard, please don't nerf resto druids... we are nerfing ourselves.
