    Skills cooldown, any addon?

    Hi friends, do you know if does exist an addon useful to manage the cooldown of the skills in the action bar? This is because sometimes I'm so busy to focus the cd's of my skills that I don't see the rest of the screen and this is not good, cause I could be "not prepared" (as Illidan would say... :P) doing some special action or move away.
    So I'm looking for an addon that help me to display the icons of the skills ready to use without loose concentration on the fight. Do you have some suggestion?
    Thank you in advance for your help!

    Power Auras, probably, but it's totally not beginner's friendly.

    You can always make yourskillbar with your 3-4 main skills very large and more centered with bartender, but in the end you will always need to watch something

    Keep in mind that sometimes the easiest solution to your problem is simply paying attention more. I echo the OmniCC sentiment - it's much better than default, but going above and beyond this is a bit much.

    I use ForteXorcist and Powerauras.
    Id say ForteXorcist is more beginner friendly and kinda easy to setup

    About the first part i suggest omnicc + ommicc shine

    Omnicc adds the timer part on the abilities button, like here :



    Omnicc shine is a small feature that apply a small "spark" when an ability's cooldown comes to an end. Very, very handy. Got it, love it. Very easy to notice from the corner of your eye, even when you're watching somewhere else on your screen.



    About the second part, Poweraura is what you want. You can configure it to make an ability's icon "pop" somewhere on your screen when its CD is over, like on the picture under for explosive shot (although putting it directly above your toon like on the picture is not a good idea ˆˆ) :



    You can also configure it to monitor a buff on yourself (survival's - dps cd's and such), a debuff on your target, shouts, procs, etc.

    this should help you with all of your power aura needs. It does explain how to make the spell show up on your screen when it is off CD too. so its a very helpful guide. Good luck with power auras
