  • About Mage Fever

What is Mage Fever?

Mage Fever is a proc and buff notification addon for mages. It was designed to be simple, light on memory, completely stand alone, and easy to use. Developed by a mage for a mage, it is specifically tailored to help make the most of a mage's damage output and manage their spell rotation. New ideas are continually being submitted by many users resulting in an addon that is extremely flexible and fit for any mage. Mage Fever is designed to visually stand out when needed yet invisible when not. This is accomplished through uniquely colored notification frames with background timers which can be placed anywhere on the screen.


How will I benefit from Mage Fever?

Being a high end raiding mage or dedicated pvp mage, Mage Fever keeps you on top of your game. Decisions in your spell rotation will be much easier to make with all mage procs being much easier to see. Scorch and Living Bomb debuffs are tracked with timers so you will be able to constantly keep that debuff on your target. You will know whether to cast one more fireball or refresh the living bomb. You will know when your are guaranteed a critical strike due to Fingers of Frost or a free fireball from Brain Freeze.


What does Mage Fever track?

Currently, Mage Fever tracks the following buffs, debuffs, and procs:

  • Fingers of Frost
  • Brain Freeze
  • Missile Barrage
  • Clear Casting
  • Arcane Blast
  • Torment the Weak
  • Mirror Image
  • Hot Streak
  • Fire Starter
  • Living Bomb
  • Scorch
  • Impact
  • Fiery Payback
  • Tier 10 2 piece set bonus

How do I use the Living Bomb tracker

1) Select the target and click the "Add" button to add them as a castable tracking frame. Doing this will allow you to click the status bar and recast Living Bomb on the target. It will automatically target the tracked NPC and recast. This method must be done before entering combat to allow for casting from the status bar (secure frame). The target must have a unique name to work correctly. If there are multiple targets in the area with the same name, Living bomb will be cast on the nearest one.

2) Simply cast living bomb on a target that is not being tracked and you will see the tracking bar added, showing the time until the bomb explodes. Once the bomb explodes the frame is automatically removed. This can be done while in combat because it does not require a secure frame due to the fact that there is no spell cast script.


How do I use and configure Mage Fever?

Set up and usage is very simple. Mage Fever is designed to be ready to go once installed. The only thing that needs to be done is to select the desired spells to track. The best way to configure Mage Fever is via the Options Panel, which can be accessed through the command "/mfever options".

Usage

  • "/mfever options" - Shows Options panel
  • Right click and drag to move frames.

What to look for in future releases

The goal of Mage Fever is to be a must for any mage. To accomplish this, it will be continually improved with new features designed to aid in every aspect of playing a mage while being extremely light weight and easy on memory. There are currently a couple new features to look for in future releases.

  • Spell Rotation Helper - This will give a better visual understanding of your rotation in relation to main nuke spells such as Fireball, Frostfire Bolt, Arcane Blast, Frost Bolt, and Arcane Missiles. With haste becoming a major role in DPS, the spell rotation helper will present a better understanding of whether to continue with nuking or refresh any debuffs.
  • Resizable Frames - Frames will resizable by clicking and dragging. This will make Mage Fever much easier to integrate with your UI setup by allowing each notification to resized to fit any where.

    Do you think we could get tracking for arcane absorption? Id like to be able to see when it falls off to know to hit mana shield again, and see when it comes back up after getting hit. Thanks

    "Quad Core", 4 piece spell's name if you're curious. I've only used the Abarr timer personally, but I might start using the Mirror Image one. This spell can create a precise timer.

    I see you are going to be making a spell rotation helper. If you want to see how someone else implemented it, check out serious help in timing. It's a ret paladin one that i really like on curse.

    Also, the mirror image bar title says M1text.

    Got yet another update coming. Added support for Tier 10 2 piece set bonus. Called "Bloodmage". I'm not sure if this is working correctly because I have not been able to test it. Unfortunately, I do not have the 2 piece bonus yet. Therefore I have put it up as beta. It would be greatly appreciated if any mages with the set would test it and post their feedback here.

    Wowhead does not currently have a name for the proc, only a spell ID number, so i don't know how this will affect the buff detection. Shouldn't be a problem.

  • The name of the proc is "Pushing the Limit".

    I'll test this for you once I'm patched and in today.

    Thanks, gwengothelf. I changed the spell ID to reflect the one of Pushing the limit.

  • 2.3.2 T10 2 piece proc works fine!

  • I give an applause to this add-on. One of the easiest to maintain set-up and put to work. As simple as typing in one command moving your bars in position and good to raid.
    A+

    2.3 released. Added living bomb tacker back in due to requests. I applied the fixes suggested by blahdiggyblah (thanks!). Lets see how this one works out. I'll add support for sound in this one as well soon.

    Line 772 should be:
    MageFeverMI_Frame_Text:SetText(format("%.1f",
    (MIcasttime + 30)-(MIcasttime + MIupdatetime)) .. " - " .. MItext)
    to get the text from Localization.lua for the Mirror Image frame.

    2.2 released. Living Bomb Tracker has been removed due to bugs.

    Added the ability to play sound files on procs. In order for sounds to be played, you must add the sound file to the addon's subfolder "Sounds". View the readme file for naming conventions.

    People have posted how you can fix the code... This was a very good feature.

    I've removed the Living Bomb tracker in the upcoming release. I feel it isn't used much and is causing more grief than help. This will eliminate the errors people are receiving and keep the addon light on resource usage. If you like the living bomb tracker and would like to continue using it, let me know and I might be able to create another page offering a Mage Fever with more options. This one will remain light.

    I will upload it tonight when I get home from work. I might upload a beta if any one would like to test it and give feedback here.
