Description

What is DoTimer?

DoTimer is a buff and debuff tracking addon that displays your active DoTs, HoTs, cooldowns, and procs as organized timer bars, helping you maintain perfect uptime on damage-over-time effects.

Categorized under Buffs & Debuffs, Combat, and Boss Encounters, this addon is a must-have for players seeking to improve their World of Warcraft experience on private servers.

Key Features

  • Timer bars for every DoT you apply showing remaining duration and target name
  • Cooldown tracking for spells and abilities with optional audio alerts at expiration
  • Buff monitoring with separate groups for self-buffs, target debuffs, and cooldowns
  • Multi-target DoT tracking showing which targets have your effects and time remaining
  • Customizable bar colors, textures, sizes, and growth direction
  • Filter system to show only specific spells you want to track
  • Target switching integration highlighting DoTs on your current target
  • Anchor and grouping system for organizing timer bars by category

Why DoTimer is Essential

Classes relying on damage-over-time effects like Shadow Priests, Affliction Warlocks, and Feral Druids lose significant DPS when DoTs fall off early or get clipped by premature reapplication. DoTimer provides the precise timing data needed to refresh at the optimal moment, directly translating into measurable DPS gains on every encounter.

Supported Expansions

DoTimer is available for MoP, WotLK, Cataclysm, Classic, and TBC. Whether you play on a Classic private server or a modern expansion realm, this addon enhances your gameplay across all supported versions.

How to Install DoTimer

Place DoTimer in your AddOns directory. Use /dotimer to open configuration. Drag the anchor frames to position timer bar groups and configure which spell categories each group should display.

Installing DoTimer on a private server

Which version do you need?

Private servers run older game clients, and an addon only loads properly on the client it was built for. Pick the download that matches your server's client. To check an addon you already have, open its .toc file: the ## Interface: line should match the number below.

ClientPatchInterfaceMore addons
Vanilla (Classic)1.12.111200Vanilla addons
The Burning Crusade2.4.320400TBC addons
Wrath of the Lich King3.3.5a30300WotLK addons
Cataclysm4.3.440300Cataclysm addons
Mists of Pandaria5.4.850400MoP addons

Install steps

  1. Download the DoTimer build for your client from the Downloads panel above.
  2. Extract the zip into Interface/AddOns inside your World of Warcraft folder. Create the AddOns folder if it doesn't exist yet.
  3. Check the folder name matches the .toc file inside it, for example AddOns/DoTimer/DoTimer.toc. Downloads from GitHub often add -master or -main to the folder name, which stops the addon from loading, and the 1.12.1 client is especially strict about this.
  4. Start the game and click AddOns on the character screen. Enable DoTimer, and tick Load out of date AddOns if it shows as out of date.

Lua errors right after installing almost always mean the build doesn't match your client. Delete the folder and download the version for your patch.
