You can see how it actually looks at the end of video

Thank you so much for this. I've been asking for something like this since Alkosh came out, now if only they fix synergies like they suggested in the November combat post. Would be perfect.

To be honest with you , I don't really expect much . I have hopes but no expectations . I think AuraMastery will still be incredibly useful even after ZOS makes synergies actually reliable . Just seeing the cooldown on synergies made a huge impact on my gameplay , I don't know what will happen when synergies are fixed .

Quick tip for using this addon :

Ask for orbs , not shards . Orbs can be used multiple times by healers , providing the synergy to more than one person so you will always be able to activate it . I get 60-70% uptime on Alkosh just with alternating between Conduit and orbs . Can be much higher if Magicka Sorcerers wasn't so dense about using the Liquid Lightning on me ^^

Another good thing is , since I am activating orbs on cooldown , my sustain is much higher . Just a side effect but always nice to have some extra stamina to spend

Yea I mean an addon like this would only be better with the synergies working better. Then you can get REALLY high up time on Alkosh.

Interesting addon but the problem is not the cd of synergy for me but the 10s duration of alkosh debuff. You have to activate your synergy every 10s to proc alkosh so beeing able to see cd of synergy can help but it won't be useful if you don't have synergy to activate or if you activate them too early.

This addon is really only useful for people with voice chat. You can with this, especially in 12man content call out when you need certain synergies, like shard/orbs or other. You need to not use synergies as often as you can but hold yourself in and wait until its been around 8-10s to maximize your up time. If you just proc synegies off cooldown and do all 3 or 4 in a row then this addon is useless for you and you should not be running alkosh.

I just picked up this addon and it is fantastic. Using it to track the downtime of Mechanical Acuity.
