A Combo Points Addon?Follow

They exist, I've looked up a few while I'm at work, but I have a specific question based on them.

Does anyone know of a combo point addon that would let me move the location of the counter? It seems all the addons I've browsed still stick the counter either up on the target's frame or to the hovering health bar (if activated). I want to be able to move the counter to an entirely different location so it would better fit into my UI setup.

Basically, the reason I'm looking for this is because I've recently added DoTimers to my UI to keep track of all my relevant druid abilities. Being a feral DPS my rotation is very dependent on timing Mangle, Savage Roar and refreshing bleeds at the proper time, among other things. I keep these bars near the bottom of my screen, so as it ends up this is where my eyes are focused most of the time. While it isn't necessarily a "problem" to just glance up at the enemy's target frame to get a clear and precise count of my combo points, I find that after several hours of raiding I sort of can't keep my eyes on the mobs due to all the AOE and general spell effects going on. It gives me a severe headache and in order to get a shot of my combo points my eyes have to pass over this huge flashing mess of colors hundreds of times in any given raid, if not thousands. Even with my spell effects down it's still pretty strong and I hate it.

Essentially, I just want to be able to move the combo point counter right next to my DoTimers bars. Anyone have any ideas or suggestions?

Edit: Found one! BasicComboPoints, does exactly what I want. Please disregard this thread.

Just for anyone looking for a feral add-on.

I personally use BadKitty with the bars rather than the large icons. I find keeping track of combo points right next to the mob itself easy enough, and this enables me to quickly look over and see what timer I need to go for.

I love cat "rotation."

I use an entirely new UI that includes a heads wup display (HUD). Its called nUI, and I love the way it looks. Part of the UI has the combo point come up right under my character so its real easy to see them. To track Mangle, Rake, and Rip I have Dotimer and I use Power Aura to show when I have Savage Roar active and when I proc Clear castering.

I use RogueFocusClassic. Its a very tiny, but easily seen bar that shows combos points and energy and it can be moved anywhere. It also disappears from the screen in any form other than kitty. Incidentally, it also works for rogues. :p

Can be found at Curse and im sure all the other popular addon sites.

I'd recommend this.

NugComboBar is what I use on both my rogue and druid, it's easy to move, resize, and you can change the colors of each combo point if you so desire. I had skittles for combo points for a while.

OR you could simply use x-perl and move the target frame to the bottom of the screen, right above the action bars and next to your timers :P

Funny you mentioned that because after getting the addon and putting the combo point display next to my DoTimers I rearranged my UI and put my x-perl target frame right in that spot you said. Still, the addon's display of the combo points is very large and easily seen so I'm going to stick with it for now.
