--// Rewatch //-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rewatch is an addon to help you monitor your healing-over-time (HoT) spells as a druid. There's an easy main window which you can move around, which will contain five bars for every target; a healthbar, energy-/rage-/manabar, lifebloom bar, rejuvenation bar and a regrowth bar. Simply click a spell bar to cast that spell on that specific player, or click on the player's healthbar to target the player.

Party- and raidhealing has never been so easy!

--// Installation //------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Just extract this entire folder to your World of Warcraft\Interface\AddOns folder and run the game. By default, this AddOn will be enabled on every character. No need to disable it for your non-druid classes by the way; it will not load on these characters so you won't have to bother about that.

--// Usage //-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After installing the AddOn, all you will need to do is launch the game and log in to your druid character. You will notice the Rewatch frame in the topleft corner of your screen. The odds are small you want the AddOn to be placed here; just move it to it's new location by click&dragging the frame to the desired location.

You can add players to the list by casting a HoT spell on them, or grouping with them so they're added automatically. If the player is grouped with you, the player will remain in your list so you can easily refresh the HoT spell. If the player or NPC is not, however, it will be automatically removed from the list as soon as all his/her HoT spells run out so you keep a fresh and clean list. If there's a player in the list you don't want to have in there anymore, simply right-click his/her healthbar and it will be removed.

If you wish to target a player from your list, left-click on his/her healthbar. To cast or refresh his/her Rejuvenation, simply click on the Rejuvenation bar. Same goes for Lifebloom and Regrowth, just click the bar! The small button right next to every three bars is the Swiftmend button; just click it to cast a Swiftmend on that player. If the player is cursed or poisoned, a Abolish Poison button or Remove Curse button will appear between the Swiftmend button and the Regrowth bar. Simply click it to cure your pal! All of the important spells, right at a single click away. Told you it was easy!

As an extra feature, there are also buttons for your most common spells at the bottom of the main Rewatch frame. These are Gift of the Wild, Tranquility, Barkskin, Innervate and Nature's Swiftness respectively. These buttons act like set buttons in your actionbar; click them to cast the spell (on yourself, always). They will have the common cooldown timer overlay so you can easily see which spells are on cooldown, and for how long still, and which aren't.

And there's ofcourse also a close button, the bottom-right 'X'. This will hide the frame from your interface, as you may not be needing it all the time. To make it appear again, simply type /rewatch in your chat console and it will pop back up at the last remembered position.

  • Hello i love the mod. its probly the best heal mod out, that i have seen anyways, ty for this mod. With that being sad is there any way i could do the same mod but for the other healing classes?

    P.S. someone else posted to maybe have a smaller window, i could see how that would be go. i try to use rewatch in AV for the fun of it and ah no,lol. cant see everyone.

  • Fantastic add on, however if I can make a suggestion (assuming you will tweak it for 3.0.2 & WotLK). The GCD timer seems to make it difficult to read the players health. Also, if something can be done to make the health stand out a bit more as well. I had a hard time since it seems everything was faded all the time due to my casting non stop at times. Perhaps if the GCD circular wipe was less opaque, then the health would show up better.

    Also, could you give the option of stretching it out some so the HP bars become longer?

    Thanks!

    Eek. Last-minute modifications right before uploading can never be without bugs! Sorry, and thanks for posting. It should work properly now in v1.1.

    yeah I like the idea...a kind of replacement for the old bene-cast healing. Although I don't know how to use it or who should use it. In groups/raids you've got healbot or grid+clique. Beside of livebloom no other hot needs to be refreshed and for livebloomer you use livebloomer. I think it's easier to have small bars which shows you the duration of the hots. Place is just rare on healer's interfaces...

    sry hadn't been that fair in my comment,actually cause I'd been short of time...

    - Tell me the right Swiftmend icon name and I will use it. Lifebloom will be upcoming, but I kinda need the ability first to be able to test it (level 56 at the time of writing). These were in the upcoming features part on initial upload ;-)
    - Decurse can't be performed in tree-form and hasn't been direly required at my level just yet. I will likely implement it later, though, so I'll put it on the todo-list.
    - Swiftmend and Abolish poison buttons too small? Alright, I can imagine. It will increase the overall size of the frame though, so not everyone may want this (I don't). I'll make sure the size can be edited through a console command on the next release. Other scaling-/moving features may be included when I get to it.
    - The GotW is a pure extra button and I won't bother on changing it.
    - The next release will contain tooltips to the ability buttons.
    - I will change the close-button into a upper-left cornered X.
    - Will add a tooltip to the move-button, but until I find out how to allow ctrl+drag moving it will not change.
    - As said, the buttons are just a little extra, the cooldown 'cake' overlay will suffice, I will not bother with a textual timer on 'em.
    - The innervate button is for the user himself only.
    - I can't figure a way of properly adding an instant heal button. The addon is only a monitor for your HoTs though, so you will be using your own macro's for that.
    - May introduce a mana/energy/rage-bar to each listed player, though it may decrease the performance greatly. This'll be a could-have feature.
    - As said, the addon will monitor your HoTs only. Hotkeys are therefor not required.

    Out of interest, can I know why you give my AddOn such a critical look? And wasn't there anything you did like? ...

  • This has the potential to be a great mod. I'm anxious too see how it develops. One question; is there anyway to re-size the window yet?

  • A simple drag-to-resize would be great. I love what your are doing with this Mod. I currently use healbot for the ease of click healing and dotimer to time my hots. Once you get Lifebloom this mod should replace both of those for me. Thanks for the hard work.

  • Dezyne said 

    Thanks! And no, not yet. The size of all window components are global now though, so it shouldn't be all too hard to have it resizable in a future version. I've however not thought of a way to do this... Should all components be custom sizable? Or would a simple drag-to-resize arrow in the bottom-right corner suffice, for you?

  • Dezyne said 

    Currently working on an entirely new version. This version should be much more raid-viable and should have less bugs. Also the big space the <= 3.0 version took up will be compressed, all player frames will be separately movable, etc. The ability buttons will be removed completely, I realized I took the job of multiple purposes on me, and action bars just ain't my thing. Please be sure to check back soon, I promise it will be worth the wait! And many thanks for the support already!

  • Dezyne said 

    Thank you very much for your interest! I'm glad to say that half of the suggestions you did (3 and 4) will be implemented in the upcoming version. It's nearly done and just checking for any possible bug before releasing it. Suggestion 1 is actually a good idea, and although I would not prefer this "mode" myself I can see why some would want it. I'll try to implement this as a toggle-able secondary mode, in the next release. Suggestion 2 is not of importance just yet; the AddOn will be changed a lot when WotLK comes, so I'll see to those changes then.

    Again, thanks for the interest, and I hope the next release will fit your needs! Can't promise you when, but I hope before the next weekend ;-)

    As Stormgrazer said this really does have the potential to be a great mod. My main is a 70 restoration druid. Since you are revamping this I hope you don't mind if I make a couple of suggestions if I can. I really have never been in love with healbot and am hoping this would meet my needs. Thank you so much for working on this.

    1. You could really slim down the size by replacing the current bars with the names to icons boxes (the same ones in the action bar) and adding a timer on them INCLUDING miliseconds. As a raid healer this is mega important on lifeblooms so they don't bloom too early.
    2. Could you add a button for healing touch. Right now in tree form we can't use this spell, but in WoTLK from what I can see in the talent line we will be able to use it in tree form. (Please correct me someone if I'm wrong).
    3. It would be really nice if instead of a non-group target disappearing from the list when a hot ends if they could remain until they are canceled. This would really help in follow quests or just helping your fellow quester, but the biggest reason I am suggesting this is because in a raid it would be super helpful to have those you're assigned to permantly on the list although they may be in different groups. (If this is already part of this addon let me know. I haven't been using it very long and haven't used it in a raid as yet.)
    4. Is it raid ready? I've been looking for a while for a healing mod that was druid intuitive and am hoping this is it. If I could specifically add my targets to the list for when I'm main tank/off tank healing/whoever else this may be all I need. Sometimes I'm not in the same group as the people I'm healing.

    All in all you're doing a great job. Keep it up. If I think of anything else I'll add it.
