SS cd counter starts at 12 -_-

Wen i cast stormstrike the little countdown number on my action bar starts at 12 and it only has a 8 sec cd. Sometimes wen it gets to 5sec it fixxes it back down to .9,.8,.7,.6...till it's rdy again.

i dunno how to fix it

How long does the storm strike debuff / buff last for ? I am guess it isn't the cooldown you are seeing but the dot/hot counter itself.

Yep as I thought:

Stormstrike
Instant cast
5 yd range
8% of base mana
Instantly attack with both weapons. In addition, the next 4 sources of Nature damage dealt to the target from the Shaman are increased by 20%. Lasts 12 sec.

Its a new change in the last update to include the debuff as a priority over the cooldown.

So what you will see is in a cyan color the debuff counter ticking down and when that reaches 0 it will either be available as the cooldown is already up or show the rest of the cooldown. In this case it shouldn't show the cooldown as the cooldown is shorter than the duration.

oh. well is there a way to make it show the CD instead? id like that very much

There's probably something that can be altered in the lua code but .. Scott .. I think we need another toggle button for the duration timers *sigh* . Can't please everyone

Forgive me if im wrong here but... do you really want to reapply SS before its finished its dot? and if so just remember when it has 4 secs left you can reapply dunno seems kinda simple to me and working in another toggle for a brand new feature that new one has even tried out yet just seems like a bad idea besides being a pain in the ass

Well, figured out what people can do to stop it if they really want to

Somewhere near line 1230 of nUI_Button.lua in nUI/Bars folder there is this bunch of code.

Code:

if overlay.spellStatus.remains then					
   text = nUI_SecondsLeftToString( overlay.spellStatus.remains );
end

All you have to do is add this one line in above it:

Code:

overlay.spellStatus.remains = nil;

And here's a screen shot of my lowbie mage demonstrating that even though there is a duration timer active the buttons are not showing it. The 7 sec timer on the debuff bar in the hud is for the frost nova duration timer and the 24 sec timer on the cooldown bar underneath is the cooldown timer for it. As you can see the action button only shows the cooldown timer.
