Enemy Cast Bar Without Targeting

[Teliko]

As the tittle suggests, I'm looking for an addon that'll show enemy cast bars under the name plates without actually needing to target. People have suggested Tidy Plats and Threat Plates, but this just seems to work when I target someone.

Anyone know any alternatives?

Nope. WoW only gives casting information for a few specific units - focus, focustarget, etc, etc. Unfortunately, "Untargetted Mob #3" isn't one of those units.

Basically, you have to be targetting them, or have them as focus, for WoW to send you actual cast info (like cast start time, spell's casttime, etc).

If I ain't wrong caelNameplates does what you looking for ?

I'm sure I had nameplate with Castbar under the name.

Yes, even the default UI nameplates have castbars under them, but only on the unit you're targetting.

Bah :< Thought it might have been possible based on combat log entries. Alright, thanks for the help.

It is possible, but there's haste and talents reducing casttime

Nay, only worked with the current target : /
