Any addon warning when NB shadow disguise is ending?

ChaosWotan · December 2016

Is there an addon which gives a warning a (half) second before the NB's shadowy disguise (invisibility) ends? By default one only sees a kind of black smoke surrounding the toon right before shadowy disguise ends, but in combat it can be difficult to see that, so it would be nice to have an audible warning or a much more visible warning right before this skill ends. Any addon which provides that?

Probably buff timers would work but you'll have to set it up manually

Well, every buff tracker addon should show the remaining duration of cloak.

I like Action Duration Reminder

you can cast 1 skill in between if you want to reapply while still hidden

It should become second nature for any NB, magicka or stamina alike.

this, I became incredibly proficient at counting its duration in my head, it was just muscle memory.

ChaosWotan · December 2016

Agree that it should become second nature, but I keep spamming it too often, and deplete mana too quickly as a stam NB, so it would be convenient to have an addon like Combat Cloud which has a warning pop up in the middle of the screen each time you are low on health, stam and mana, but also when the NB shadow disguise is about to end.

I use the addon BuffTimers for that purpose. It shows timers for configurable buffs, show a message and play a sound when it's about to run out.

I'm not sure how useful that'd be for Shadow Cloak though, since that only lasts for less than 3 seconds.

Count to 3

not that i know of, but its not that hard to count to 2s is it?

Very easy skill to self count.

Iselin · December 2016

Addons are useful to remind you about the longer buffs and DOTs specially if you have 5 or 6 of them going but for a 3s skill?

Srendarr - Aura, Buff & Debuff Tracker works pretty well:

It's precisely why it's 3 sec that I want the warning, so that I dont deplete my very low mana if using the skill too often in a duel.

@ChaosWotan

Just go practice for like 10 mins and get the timing down

Lol really....you can cast it 3 times...then you're put of magika if you run stamina. Magblade infinite.

Christ the incapability of some players. ..I need a warning every 3s...please don't ever use any kind of machinery in your life.. .or drive for that matter. Amber to red is less than 3s.

CP magic cost reductions and two light with five medium. Goes a long way when you use a lot of magic on your stamina build.

"Christ the incapability of some players"

Well, if one has the capacity to realise that people are different - especially in a liberal society (if that is worth anything, but at least ESO is built on liberality and tolerance, like it or not) - then one might understand that my question is not different from those who use an addon which tells them when they are low on health. It's a convenience, in a game, not in real life. So from that viewpoint it's no reason to get upset at those who play an inconsquential game differently from yourself.

With a warning it might be possible to use shadowy disguise 4 instead of 3 times, with the same amount of mana, without using much or any CP on mana regen. Since there are addons which give all kinds of warnings it makes sense to ask if some of them also give a clear signal when shadowy disguise ends. If there is no such addon, then just say it, and leave it at that. End of discussion.

STEVIL · December 2016

I have an "addon" of sorts. Its tells me when the skill is about to expire.

It gives me a three second warning more or less, so i can get 1-2 sometimes 3 other clicks off before recasting.

Its called the shadow disguise key.

ChaosWotan · December 2016

I will assume you misread my last post, since it was not about how often one can use other skills during the 3 sec that shadowy disguise lasts. Edited my post to make that clearer.

If you did not misread, then your post is not informative, because I was asking if there is an addon which gives a better warning than the one seen when using the shadow disguise key.

STEVIL · December 2016

Well, the point i was trying to make is that your claim is incorrect.

You claim "one might understand that my question is not different from those who use an addon which tells them when they are low on health. "

The useful addons for health warnings i have seen do not notify you when your health runs out... the game does that when the recap screen for dead starts to apoear.

You are asking for an addon to inform you when your visibly in effect shadow ends.

Second all the health slert addons dont wait until s, 2s or even 3s close to death, barring massive kilk shot, they give you several seconds of alert starting at a substantial threshold, some may allow you to set threshold at 50% or whatever.

That means you have time.

With a 3s run time total even a second by second countdown would be next to useless.

But that ssid, as a visually impaired individual, i can see a need for any number of "higher contrast" options for visible effects.

ChaosWotan · December 2016

"But that ssid, as a visually impaired individual, i can see a need for any number of "higher contrast" options for visible effects."

That's my point, if there was a very clear visual indication 0.25 sec before the shadowy disguise ended, one would know exactly when to renew it.
