BLT is BLT Raid Cooldowns tracks important raid cooldowns and can show availability, announcements and usage reports.
Main features
- shared offensive and defensive cooldown bars.
- cooldown availability across the raid.
- optional cast announcements.
- post-fight usage report in supported builds.
How to use
Use simulation mode to place the bars, then configure only the raid cooldowns your group coordinates. Review reports after a boss rather than during active mechanics.
Before you install
Keep a copy of your current addon folder and saved settings before replacing files. Confirm that the extracted folder is intended for the 3.3.5a client, enable it on the character-selection screen, and test the main feature outside important group content. If the interface behaves unexpectedly, disable unrelated addons temporarily and reload the UI.
Tracking raid cooldowns
BLT 1.3.2 tracks selected cooldowns of players in a party or raid. The Interface 30300 package stores data in BLT_DB and uses Ace3, LibSharedMedia and AceGUI-related libraries. It is designed for shared defensive or utility cooldown awareness, not for displaying every spell in the combat log.
Open the BLT configuration and select the cooldowns and classes relevant to the group. During a raid, the window shows the tracked ability and its remaining state when the addon receives the corresponding event. A practical use is to watch an external defensive cooldown before a predictable boss hit, then call for the next player only after the first cooldown has been used. The view depends on the other client receiving the event and knowing the spell; range, logging and version differences can prevent a timer from appearing. BLT 1.3.2 should be configured before combat.
BLT is most useful when the tracked list is small and tied to a real raid plan. Tracking every cooldown hides the one external ability that matters for the next mechanic. The display also depends on received spell events, so it is not a guarantee that a player still has the cooldown available if the event was missed or the player is out of range.
