Popup when a specific skill is about to expire - is this possible?

Mariusghost84 · December 2021

Is it possible to somehow configure action duration reminder or Srendarr or whatever addon to show a quick popup somewhere on the screen regarding a SPECIFIC ability ending? For isntance leeching strikes? I know action duration reminder has that option but for all abilities, and i havent been able to figure out the "whitelist ID in line" feature.

I don't think Srendar supports this, but Action Duration Reminder does.

LUI does that.

Any ability, anywhere on your screen, any font type, customizable as you want it.

I would never play without it.

Agreed OP. One of the things I dislike about ESO is the UI and its lack of information. There should be some settings baked into the game that allow for popup information like this dude to consoles not having access to addons.

Console have a feature that shows length of time for buffs, debuff etc…on abilities. For instance when I use channel focus I get a timer on the bar that the ability is slotted to and it counts down, when I swap bars I get a yellow bar on top of that ability and it goes down. Using this I am to keep up my various buffs and debuff, this only applies to abilities if it comes from a set or another player, I have to use the buff/debuff row. DoT and HoT abilities also have this same timer bar.

The info you need is part of the game , no add-on needed. Just turn it on in the settings. The default setting has the gaming in a very minimal/clean looking state. If you want more info in the HUDI, you have to turn them on.

Go to Combat, ability bars, turn on timers and back row and you'll get the timer numbers on the bar and a small bar for the backbar that goes down.

No addon needed. Just pay attention to your bars and pay attention to the animations and if you have them turned off, turn them on so you can see them.

Maybe it's just me (unlikely), but I find the built-in timers to be nearly useless. Some of them are outright wrong (Ring of Preservation has a 20 second timer but only lasts 8 seconds), and most/all of the others reset at inappropriate times (usually when I get crowd controlled, sometimes when I roll dodge, etc.).

Edit: Also, I think the OP already has timers from their add-ons. What they're asking for is a more obvious popup notification for the end time of a specific ability.

Seems like an actual popup would pretty much ruin your rotation, being as you would need an extra click to clear it from your screen. If he just wants a notice, then LUI works great for it, as you can have middle screen countdown timers of whatever size you want for even the sub-skill parts of a buff, like the 8/20 sec one mentioned above. And you get to pick which exact buffs/debuffs show there, so it isn't all cluttered with junk you don't care about.

@kojou Are you sure about this? Ive tried for 2 hours get this to work but when i enter a specific ID under "whitelist" the pop up alerts stop working alltogether.

You may still be using the incorrect ID then...

I just tested on my client, and if I put "Leeching Strikes" in the whitelist box of the Popup Alert section it only gives a notification for Leeching Strikes.
