HotCandy is a Heal-over-Time tracker designed for Druids, but it also supports other healing classes with HoTs, like Renew of Priests, or Riptide of Shamans.
HotCandy was designed to be very simple and easy to use, with only a handful of options to customize the style of the bars. However its core is powerful and supports all known set bonuses and talents that increase the length of your HoTs.
HotCandy is driven by the CombatLog events and the cast events, those two in tandem provide it with all the information it needs to provide proper information about all your active HoTs.
You can access the HotCandy configuration through the Blizzard Interface AddOns Options.

Hey, there seems to be an issue with tracking Rejuvenation (Rank 15) with Nature's Splendor. I'm not sure whether it is the talent or the new rank (which is 3 seconds longer than all the other ranks of Rejuvenation), but I assume it is with the skill because Lifebloom and Regrowth are tracked fine with the talent.
Originally posted by DiGG Also, please note that the Tier5 priest set, when having 4 pieces, extends Renew by 3 more seconds. Back when I had that set, I had to edit manually your addon, to add those 3 seconds. Dunno if/how you can add this also...
Huh, i have support for the Avatar Raiment set. But not like its being used any more now ...
Any chance we can get a hotfix for the location error with the mod?
For some reason its not saving the x,y coords of the position you chose to anchor it to. If you do it while in game it will stay that way till you log out or exit game, but, upon entering the game again it will not save the coords you chose and will revert to its default position.

Originally posted by DiGG Finally works for me... but I'm a priest, and with the new glyphs, I'm using Glyph of Renew (http://www.wowhead.com/?item=42411) and the counter still shows 15 secs on my renews, when it should be 12 secs... is it something that will be added *soon* to this wonderful mod?

Originally posted by Nevcairiel I thought about it, and i discarded the idea. Its not a targeted HoT, you cannot really control who it hits, and it would spam the hell out of your bars.. I'll consider it again, but right now .. not
Yeah, I can understand that. I imagined maybe it would be an opt-in kind of thing; personally I would like to be able to see who got hit with each Wild Growth so I can more easily know if it missed someone that needs healing, but I can imagine it might get a bit spammy.

Nevcairiel: I understand that you do not want to add it atm since its not a targeted HoT so I decided to try and make it an optional event so if a player wants to track it they still have that valid option. The first part was quite easy by just adding
wg = {
id = 48438,
type = "cast",
duration = 7,
to the druid base area code. The problem I am having seems to be with the combat log parser. If you could help me with this part if you get some free time it would be greatly appreciated. By knowing which people the HoT hits it allows you to focus a different area. Eventually I am trying to mod this so it has two areas. The normal HoTCandy Tracker and a second area for HoTCandy Wild Growth Tracker. Thus making it so the original HoT Candy Bars would not be spammed by WG's. Let me know if you can help out any way possible.
