Which cooldown or proc addon to use

Hi,

I have seen some other tanks using an addon that shows the icon for Sword & Board procs in the center of your UI. I looked through the Wrath mod sticky. I tried both Doom Cooldown Pulse and Even Alert. Out of the two I preferred Doom Cooldown for the ability to change the transparency and icon size. But I did not see it show an icon for Sword & Board. I want to find something that responds like Doom but will give me icons for Revenge, Sword & Board, and Shield Slam. Event Alert did not have an option for Revenge and Shield Slam that I could find.

Any suggestions?

It may not have been the mod you saw in use, but you can also try PowerAuras Classic. It is highly configurable, and I use it on all of my toons. I helped one of our warrior tanks set it up to track his S&B procs.

I personally use SatrinaBuffFrames.

I think, Ghost- or Doom Pulse or even Power Auras for only Sword and Board is like breaking a fly on the wheel. Just set up a click-through, big, transparent bufframe, use the whitelist to filter all but S 'n B and thats it.

for example:

It is.

I originally got PowerAuras for tracking one thing only, but then found a large number of other uses for it; if you're looking for something more out of the box useful, PowerAuras isn't optimal.

For another option you could use anyone of the Scrolling Battle Text mods and set an alert for it. Miks SBT and the like should all have a customizable event function.

I have been using MIKS now and do not see an option for icons. I already have notifications where I want them.
