TotemTimers aims to help managing totems, shields, and weapon buffs, showing additional info about active totems (range, cooldowns) and provides additional totem sets. For enhancement shamans (and soon for ele/resto also) it provides additional timers displaying the cooldown of the most important spells and the number of Maelstrom Weapon stacks. TT supports ButtonFacade and rActionButtonStyler for customizing its appearance.
Manual (for TT 10.1 beta)
In TT the four totem timer buttons are referred to as Timers, the timer buttons for Reincarnation, shields and weapons are referred to as Trackers. The three "Call of ..." spell are referred to as multicast spells.
Hovering over a timer button opens a flyout menu containing buttons for all totems for that timer's element. Leftclicking a button casts that totem, rightclicking assigns that totem to the active multicast spell and to the timer button; leftclicking the timer button will then cast this totem. The assigned totem is displayed as a small icon (referred to as mini icon) in the lower right corner of the timer button. The last button of each flyout menu serves to delete a totem from the active multicast spell.
The multicast spell button works similar: Leftclicking a spell in the flyout menu cast the multicast spell; rightclicking selects it as the active spell, assigns it to the multicast button and updates the four timer buttons accordingly.
The weapon buff tracker also has a flyout menu: Leftclicking will cast a spell; rightclicking assigns it as the leftclick spell to the tracker button; shift-rightclicking assigns it as the rightclick spell to the tracker button (TT 10.1). The flyout menu contains two spell combos for enhancement shamans that can be assigned to the tracker button as leftclick only (by rightclick). Then the first leftclick on the tracker button casts Windfury Weapon, the second leftclick casts either Flametongue or Frostbrand.
Additional Totem Sets (TT 10.1)
The reincarnation tracker serves as an anchor for up to 8 additional totem sets. Rightclicking the ankh tracker saves the configuration of the active multicast spell. Leftclicking the ankh tracker opens a menu with all totem sets, each menu button displays four icons containing its saved totems. Leftclicking a menu buttons loads that set to the active multicast spell, overwriting the active totem configuration. Rightclicking a menu buttons deletes its set.
Additional totem dependant cast buttons
In TT 10.1 for each totem timer button 2 additional smaller cast buttons are introduced. Initially hidden they can be configured to show additional totems, which are then available to cast without opening a totem menu. The totem spell which they contain is always dependant on the active totem assigned to the multicast spell and totem timer button (and can/has to be configured for each totem). For each totem in the game two spells can be assigned as additional casts (options gui -> Totems -> Cast Button 1 and Cast Button 2). If a totem is then assigned to its timer button or the active multicast spell is changed, the two cast buttons change to the two spells assigned for that totem.
A possible configuration could be: The current assigned totem for the water timer button is Mana Spring Totem. The additional buttons show Mana Tide Totem and Cleansing Totem. The player changes the active multicast spell to Healing Stream Totem. In his configuration the cast buttons now change to Mana Spring Totem and Mana Tide Totem.
Change Log - TotemTimers
10.02
Fixed menus not closing in combat
10.01
Several bugfixes
Updated zhTW locale, thx to a9012456
10.0
TT can replace the new totem bar, you select one of the new multicast spells with the new multicast button, Totems selected by rightclick in the totem menus are assigned to the selected multicast spell. A rightclick on the multicast button casts Totemic Recall (middleclick if menu is set to open on rightclick.)
Weapon Buff button now has a menu to choose buffs with a rightclick from instead of its old GUI settings, atm this menu opens on rightclick only (choose a weapon buff by rightclicking, cast it by leftclicking the weapon buff tracker, if you selected one of the buff combos (wf/fl, wf/fb) cast twice).
Spell assigned to the Weapon Buff button is saved for each talent spec and is changed on talent spec switch
Set totem order by shift-dragging, you should even be able to drag a totem onto your actionbars
Frame positions saved in settings instead of cache only
Reenabled textures for warnings
Warnings now sent through LibSink
The range checker should consider buffs with the same effect as the active totem's buff (e.g. a player with Horn of Winter buff is considered to be in range of Strength Totem)
Updated ruRU, koKR, and zhTW localization, thanks to StingerSoft, Sayclub, and a9012456
Removed TT-Macro, the new multicast spells do a better job
Removed "Recast last totem", totems are chosen by rightclick only (would be awkward to select a totem by casting it when you're selecting it to be cast with other totems at once)
Not yet finished:
- Old totem set feature not working and disabled (will be added back)
- Totems can not be hidden from the menus, option will be added back
From 10.0 Beta 3
- ButtonFacade and rActionButtonStyle fixes
- Added key bindings
- Several bugfixes
- Compatibility for RaidTotems
- Save weapon enchant for both specs separately and change on spec switch
- Updated zhTW localization, thanks to a9012456
Originally posted by jmcgrath Great addon, I've been using it since day one with my shamans. With the latest build I seem to have lost the configuration option for the weaponbuff however. You know, right click for earthliving left click for whatever else you set it to in a drop down box on the option menu? I don't have any options. I'm pretty sure I did before. I'm wondering if there is some new design element I missed?
Thanks.
On the weapon buffs it seems now it has the drop down for the menu of what the most common buffs are. When you right click on the open menu on the correct buff it saves that buff as the primary weapon buff. Left clicking on the icon then applys the selected buff/buffs. It confused me at first but after toying around with it for a bit I like this alot better.

Originally posted by nickyjean I just started using the addon and haven't got all the quirks down but I do like to switch totems while in flight and such. I was wondering if there was a way to do a "middle click" That will switch the Left and Right click totems. That way when I'm in flight I can right click to assign and middle click to switch them. Like I said I'm just learning it so any hints would be great.
Middle click used to work exactly like you say, until this new version. Maybe it's impossible with the new Blizzard totem bar UI. (That would be sad though, unless we can persuade Blizzard to make it possible. It was a cool feature.)
Other than that, I just wanted to reply and say I'm really happy with how this managed to combine the classic TotemTimers UI with all the new Blizzard features. I was ready to keep using TT just for timers and range-checking even if I didn't like the interface to the 3.2 totem bar, but the interface is working great.

I don't think, there will be any updates before 3.2. And the macro will be definitely obsolete then, Call of Fire works way better.
My current plan is to add an additional button for CoF and the other two spells that will let you select the spell with a flyout menu like the totem timers or the new blizz bar. Changing the assigned spell on a totem timer should then update the selected Call spell.
With the current implementation of the new totem mechanics it works only out of combat, since there doesn't seem a way to use the necessary function "SetMultiCastSpell" in the code for a secure action button. But I expect it to be changed in a future ptr patch (to make sure, would be nice if someone could suggest it in the US forums, I cannot post there) since the current implementation is not finished yet (for example you don't seem to be able to let CoF only cast three totems and the spell currently ignores totem cooldowns).
Love the addon, but just a suggestion: I would add a '[btn:1]' condition to the TT macro after /castsequence so that when right-clicking to use Totemic Call, it does not say "Spell not ready."
Of course, this may all be moot come 3.2 but if you planned on any updates before then, maybe this could make the release?
PS - I hope you'll maintain this after 3.2 ... the shield and weapon timers are useful in and of themselves; maybe you could modify the code to make swapping totems in and out of the new Blizzard Totem Manager sets (so action bars aren't cluttered with totems still)?
I'm a big fan of your Addon but I'm having a problem:
I set up, for example, Stoneskin totem. I click it and it casts the totem BUT I can't see the timer! I believe it just shows the cooldown like 15s left for recasting Earthbind Totem and not the 45s left to the totem disappear.
Thanks and sorry for the noob posting here.
**Edit: Well, I wnet at the config and disabled the "Show totems cooldowns" now theres really no timer on it.
