barb rage timer does not show

Post by nobs3 » Mon Nov 13, 2017 8:14 am

The timer of active barb rage and cooldown does not show.

The only time you (or I) can see atm are "you have 6 sec on your..." and "Rage Available"... nothing before that.

Wanted or a bug?

I've slowed the message updates default interval from 6 secs to 60 secs, so it's wanted yes.

Ist still a bit confusing: - e.g.

[rage activated...]
"Barb rage has a timer of 2 minutes and 24 seconds"

...[after 1min and 24 sec]
"You have 1 minute left on your barb rage cooldown timer"

...[after 54 sec]
"You have 6 seconds left on your barb rage cooldown timer"

... [after 6 sec]
"Barb rage is once again available for use"

Same with 2 min and 36 sec at the start...

(Why the message that in 6 sec rage is available again? - A warning 6 sec before the rage ends would help more ...)

I think it's just the same timer that's used for clarity and weave mastery. That timer makes sense on those things since, if you know when it's gonna be up, you can time your casting so that your spell will go off just before you're available to cast again, thus effectively casting sooner than if you wait to begin -after- spells are available. Same thing with pretty much all CD based non-instant abilities.

If you keep an eye on the icons in the top right, you do get a warning when there are 6s left on the rage--the icons begin flashing in the last 6s of any effect.

I actually like the 6 secs before rage is available because it gives me a relief knowing in 6 seconds ill be back to monster mode. Especially when waiting for rage timers mid battle and near death

Ok :) Thanks to all. I just wondered if it is still a bug.

(If the 60sec interval would take effect (as I imagine how it might work) in the fist example I would get a message: "24 sec left..." But its all ok!)
