Some folks have resorted to using a macor when they buff that sets an alarm timer that might give a warning of how much time is left on a buff. It's a bit of work, though.


There is no other way to tell, but that is on the issues lists.

I'm **edit**-retentive enough to write that macro. Just to verify, the duration listed on the buff attributes is the actual buff time? I mean it isn't an approximate time that is varied by how well the buff is applied (like the randomization of the actual buff value)...right?


Perhaps quick-keying the macro (F1)then dropping the enhancement pack into a quick key (F2) then using:



  • /ui action toolbarSlot01

  • /alarmaddin 2 20 Action Buff Expiring...make a camp!

That way, all you would have to do is press F1 on an alternate toolset to buff every time and not have to worry about it until that pack runs out.

Wow. That word is apparently censored regardless of context. I think you all know the intent/meaning.

Yeah, duration is a constant. So you should be able to use that number of seconds directly ina pause command or for figuring out your alarm.
