Frogski’s Instant Cast Bar

Frogski’s Instant Cast Bar 🐸

Frogski’s Instant Cast Bar adds a simple PIXEL-PERFECT (in my opinion and in comparison to default cast bar) blue timer bar that appears after the player uses an instant-cast spell.

• The bar is perfectly aligned with the Blizzard player cast bar and it follows its scale
• Only works with instant-cast spells
• If the player starts a normal cast, channel, or a spell with 0 cooldown like Innervate or PI the bar will NOT show
• The duration scales automatically with haste - checked on Keristrasza fight who's rude enough to cut haste in half or even more 😂
• Custom option to Disable while mounted 
• Custom option to Disable while Druid Flight Form
• Custom option allowing hiding most of the bars elements for better integration with other addons changing the default castbar like BetterBlizzFrames   Spell base GCD override options:
  • First I want to clarify that this addon reads the spell GCD dynamically with a function. If something feels off its on Blizzard.
  • Option to add a spell by name or ID to modify its GCD (if added by name, double check the ID)
  • If a spell is not appearing like Smanans Tempest (because GetSpellBaseCooldown() returns 0 for some reason. Looking at you Blizzard 🙃) after adding it to the custom options and selecting the proper GCD it will start working
  • If youre playing a Monk or some other class with different GCD timings and you would like to adjust certain spells you now have the option.

         

Why have I brought it back to life and why create something like that?

The main reason is very simple: ⭐MY FAT FINGERS⭐

The second main reason is: personal preference.

In raids there's a lot going on and as a druid who needs to ramp, sometimes Im not sure what spell have I casted. For me personally a swipe along all icons is not enough and especially because I have all action bars hidden.

Also I would like to clarify that this is NOT an other GCD bar because it does NOT fire when a player casts a long cast spell like Regrowth. It does not rely on the GCD API alone.

There will be custom options in the future based on your feedback.

Have fun, and enjoy blue 🐸💚
