72 - DK Cooldown ready vs Spell Usable
on my DK I want to have a timer for the cooldown on Unbreakable Armor and Howling Blast. If I use the ability on a target dummy the timer starts and everything appears fine. The problem is when the cooldown on a required rune i.e. Frost is longer than the cooldown on the ability the cooldown changes to the cooldown on the rune.
Is there a way to ignore any increase in the duration of the cooldown before the ability is ready?

So far, I know that this affected Howling Blast and Ghoul Frenzy. I have a fix (tested against Ghoul Frenzy) that will be in 3.1.7

Kitjan Aug 16, 2010 at 05:55 UTC - 0 likesmade a DK to experiment with. Pretty easy to reproduce watching the cooldown of Rune Tap and cycling between blood presence and frost presence to spend the runes.
Akarou: The problem with your suggestion is that it causes the CD bar to disappear at odd times. We can't tell when the CD of the watched spell changes, only if ANY cd needs to be re-evaluated, so using your last run with 4s left on Rune Tap would make the Rune Tap bar disappear - - even though it's not usable yet.

Akarou Aug 08, 2010 at 21:00 UTC - 0 likesThis also happens if the ability is actually available, costs a blood rune, and you spend all your blood runes. It will then track the blood rune cooldown. I think this is a limitation in the wow ui cooldown api. I remember having problems with it before.
But an easy fix is to let us force a minimum cooldown for the bar to trigger, and possibly ignore any updates where the cooldown value > last update's cooldown value.
Edit: line 1136: "if start and cd_len and cd_len > 1.5" changed to "if start and cd_len and cd_len > 10"
This doesn't help at all with Howling Blast, as that has an 8 second cooldown and will just not show at all, but for the longer cooldowns it gets rid of the cooldown bar appearing all the time to show rune timers.
