Icesnake’s Add-on Emporium, Segment #13: RankWatch

Segment 13: RankWatch

Are you dual-specced? Have you recently leveled? Do you raid? If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, you may find RankWatch to be a useful add-on.

RankWatch will monitor the spells cast by you and other members of your party or raid and warn you (or them) if you or they are using a downranked spell. It will also tell you what new spells you can train each time you gain a level.

Except for reducing threat, there’s no longer any advantage to using downranked spells, so you will most likely want to get the highest rank you can on your action bars. While Blizzard “fixed” the action bars long ago, so that the highest rank of a spell appears on your hot bars automatically, this does not work reliably for dual-specced toons; if you aren’t getting the DPS or HPS you expect, you may be using downranked spells without knowing it. RankWatch will let you know.

You can get RankWatch throgh Wowmatrix, from WowInterface, or from Curse.

Music for this week’s segment is provided by Freeplaymusic.com and is entitled “Leather and Steel” by Tillman Sillescu.
