Filter out debuffs you don't care about, like Deep Wounds.
2 stacks, 1 icon.
Configuration UI
Debuff Filter
This addon is to filter out the debuffs and buffs you don't care about. If you melee, you can filter out everything but CoR, FF, and Sunder. If you're a caster, you can just show debuffs like CoE and Winter's Chill. Healers can filter out everything but their buffs and HoTs, etc.
It supports the 40 debuff limit, and besides filtering your current target, you can filter buffs/debuffs on yourself, and buffs/debuffs on the Focus target.
To configure the mod once it's installed, type /dfilter -- you should see a simple UI. To add a filter, select your target from the dropdown menu (Target, Player, Focus), select the Buff or Debuff tab, then type in the name of your buff/debuff and click Add.
If you're not sure how to set the Focus target, you can either type /focus <target> or go into keybindings and bind keys to "Focus Target" and "Target Focus" under Targeting Funcions.
Note: make sure filtering is turned on for your target type, or you won't see anything get filtered.
To move the frames, check "Show Backdrop" and shift-click and drag one of the backdrops.
If you'd like to change the orientation of any frame, select the direction under the dropdown Grow menu, then configure how many buffs or debuffs you'd like to see per row. The layout settings are as follows:
Right-Down, Right-Up: grows to the right, new rows start below or above the first row.
Left-Down, Left-Up: grows to the left, new rows start below or above the first row.
If the "rows" setting is set to 1, you'll have vertical orientation.
To change the orientation of the buff duration time, ctrl-right click the frame you'd like to configure.
A few configuration options exist that aren't available through the UI -- to see them, type /dfilter help
Settings are stored on a per-character/server basis, so it should work fine if you have alts.
1.92:
Updated the .toc for 2.2.
Fixed the localization bug with non enUS/enGB clients. If you'd like to contribute a localized version, see localization.lua.
1.91:
Fixed a bug with the CooldownCount option where refreshed player buffs and debuffs didn't have their timers refreshed.
Fixed a bug that prevented time orientation from being applied to the first buff or debuff in a frame.
1.9:
The orientation/layout system has been redesigned. It is now done through the UI, and now supports splitting buffs or debuffs into multiple rows using a new "max per row" option. By default, the rows setting is set to "8", to duplicate the look of previous versions. If it's set to "1", it allows for vertical orientation. Two notes: time orientation is still set via ctrl-clicking the frames. In addition, users of previous versions will have to reorient their frames if they used non-default orientation settings.
Localized the options menu and added tooltips. Currently only localized for enUS/enGB.
If the CooldownCount option is enabled, it will now remove the spacing between buff rows since it's no longer needed.
1.85:
Added a CooldownCount-style timer option via OmniCC. Only tested with the latest version of OmniCC. Due to limitations with the player buff functions, OmniCC numbers will show up on player buffs and debuffs, but the cooldown rings won't.
Added an option to hide the frames when not in combat.
1.84:
Fixed a bug that caused an error when trying to change frame orientation and no buttons had been created yet (shift-clicking a backdrop)
Switched from string.find() to string.match() for texture filtering--should be faster
Other small tweaks for performance
1.83:
Stacks are now tied to their texture, so debuffs or buffs that share the same name (Shadow Vulnerability) will no longer appear together when combined.
1.82:
Rescaling the windows will no longer reset the position of your frames (looked at Bongos to see how this was done--big thanks to the author.)
Fixed a bug where duration times would get cut off with certain scale settings
Massive amounts of code clean up and tweaks
Added "/dfilter resetpos" to reset the frames back to their default positions, in case users are upgrading from a pre-1.8 version. Note: early versions of the zip don't have this as it was a last second change.
1.81:
Fixed a bug with focus buff monitoring
Minor code clean up/bug fixes
If 1.8 is working fine for you and you don't monitor buffs on your focus target, you probably don't need to upgrade.
1.8:
Supports 2.1's new UnitBuff and UnitDebuff functionality. What this means is, you'll finally be able tell which buff and debuff stacks are yours, and duration times(!) will be shown for them.
New option "Self-applied only": Enable this for any buff or debuff to only show your own stacks on a mob or player. Perfect for debuffs like Deadly Poison.
New option "Don't Combine Stacks": By default, if for example you're monitoring for Renew and 3 Renews are on someone, Debuff Filter will show one icon but with a 3 in the top-right corner. Enable this to show separate icons for each individual buff or debuff. This is mostly for buffs and debuffs that share the same name, like Shadow Weaving and Imp. Shadowbolt (Shadow Vulnerability).
Buff and Debuff stacking will now always show the most recent buff or debuff applied. If one of your own stacks is on the mob or player, it will take priority.
Buttons are now created dynamically. This should improve performance.
Lots of code clean up and bug fixes.
Scale can now be set in .5 increments.
Due to various changes, both scale settings and texture settings for buffs and debuffs will need to be re-set. Sorry for the inconvenience!
This version works for both live and PTR versions of WoW, but PTR-only features will only work once the patch goes live. These features include buff/debuff durations and the "self-applied only" option.
Change Log - Debuff Filter
Updated to work with the 3.0 patch.
Optional Files - Debuff Filter
Sorry, there are currently no optional files available.
Maybe someone can help me out. The option to tic only show debuffs you apply will not let me tic it. So say for instance I am trying to track my ruptures it shows everyones. Is there anyway to fix this that I am missing?
i have been searching to find something that could show just my debuffs (warrior: dem shout, thunderClap and sunder) on my target, so i have an easy way to check if i need to refresh them
this is the only easy add on to set this up, you can make a list of what debuffs to show, and it wont show anything else
ElkBuffBars and SatrinaBuffFrame where way to complex too achieve the same thing (not sure if its even possible)
thank you for making this it works great for me and i can recommend this to anyone seeking this functionality
Originally posted by pUrecoin Ok, I am trying to get an addon that will filter out buffs and debuffs that aren't relevant to my class. I want to cut down on the things like Strength of Earth totem or Leader of the Pack. I was trying to use elk but that is only usable as vertical bars and not the rows of icons which I prefer. However this doesn't seem to have a simple blacklist which I liked about elk. Am I missing something or what? At the moment it seems I have to add each individual buff I want on the player buff/debuff group and the same with my target's buffs/debuffs.
You are not missing anything. There is no blacklist and buffs/debuffs have to be done 1 by 1.
So if you want everything useful to your class to be displayed then it will take a long, long time to set up this mod. Personally, I am rerolling a gnome mage for LK over my human mage and it took me around 2 hours to set this mod up on my new character. But it was worth it now that you can see duration of any buff/debuff from any player

Same for me (feral druid), haven't found any other addon that does the same. And I desperately need addon that displays important debuffs/buffs somewhere more center to the screen, while still having all other debuffs displayed with the target frame.
Tested this in wotlk, and it does work, except the timers doesn't countdown and gui is very messy.
