Re: Mod to show a casting bar for your pet?
Thanks again for the suggestions, but I thought I'd bump this because I tried both X-Perl and Natur EnemyCastingbar and I wasn't 100% happy with either.
X-Perl does exactly what I want but it feels like overkill. It has more options than I need and the feature that I do want feels buried in the interface (the placement of the bar I want to look at is very near to other similar looking bars which makes it hard to find quickly). Also it is probably just personal preference, but for some reason the X-Perl unit frames feel like they take more effort to read for health/mana information than the default frames.
For Natur EnemyCastingBar, I couldn't figure out how to make it do what I wanted. It *did* show a bar for seduce after it was cast, i.e. how long the seduce is going to last. But it *did not* show a bar for while the Succubus was casting seduce (and I couldn't find an option to to make it show one).
Perhaps I'll rephrase the question: the biggest flaw in my playing right now happens when seduce does not go off when I trigger it (by press my Macro key binding). (This is a problem that I know others are also experiencing, since I've read several posts in various forums about it recently). Right now my seduce strategy is this: I hit the seduce key and then run around waiting to either see or hear one of the very subtle built-in signals that seduce has started casting. During this time, I am not taking other actions.
In PVE, this means I lose out on doing significant extra damage because my attention is focused on looking for a subtle signal rather than dealing damage. In PVP, *if that seduce does not go off*, it usually means I lose because I have wasted too much time doing nothing looking for a signal.
So my questions for everyone who uses seduce are:
1. If you don't have an interface mod to show if seduce has gone off instantly and clearly, than what do you do differently than the above?
2. If you do have a mod that helps in these situations then what is it? (I had asked specifically for a pet casting bar, but really any visual indication that seduce has started casting would work fine (casting time would nice too)).
