[WoW] Diminishing returns tracker for players crowd controls.

Diminish (Discontinued)

Diminish attaches icons to unit frames or nameplates, displaying time left until a diminishing returns category expires for that unit. As well as how far the category is diminished. (Green border = 50% duration, yellow = 25%, red = 0%)

Diminish can track DRs on both mobs and players if you enable PvE mode in the options.

Note: Diminish is no longer actively maintained. Feel free to fork this addon, but be wary it contains a ~10 year old codebase with lots of hacky methods added over time. Some code might rely on deprecated Blizzard functions that's marked for removal in a future patch. (The DR spell database itself has moved over to DRList-1.0 which is still updated every now and then).

Configuration

Type /diminish to open the options panel. You may also skin the icons using Masque.

DR icons for each unit frame is separately configurable. Certain unit frames are default disabled for tracking or only enabled for certain zones.

You can manually set icons used for a DR category by right clicking one of the checkboxes under "Enabled Categories" section.

Notes

• Diminish not working with an unitframe addon? Go to options and enable "Anchor to UIParent", then position the icons wherever you want. For Party frames, try disabling "Use Raid-Style Party Frames" under WoW's interface options.
• Supports tracking max 5 party/raid frames.

[Bug]: Nameplate DRs inaccurate on WotLK Classic

What happened?

Sometimes shows incorrect DRs on WotLK classic (doesn't match Gladdy, Gladdy shows correct timers). For example, can sometimes fear into a "red" Diminish DR icon and will get a 2.5s fear, where it should be immune.

Is there any errors?

DH Imprison (#217832) not being tracked. It's in the DR List with the correct ID.

Track only our DR ?

Hi folks :)

I was wondering if it is possible to have a checkbox option that only track our own dr not our arena friend dr to ?
I mean i don't know all the class spell icon actually and when i see a dr that it not mine (without showing category) i can't even know from what school this dr come from.

It would be very cool if when a friend start the dr cycle it instantly show my own spell that is impacted by the DR not his spell.

I hope it is clear enought... :p

Request: Add anchor point option for Player DR to the “personal bar” UI element.

This would be epic. I manually positioned it nearby the element but due to camera movement and such it doesn’t always stay in a nice place. Thanks @wardz.

[Feature Request] static icons

Hey. First of all i wanna thank you for this great Addon.
But i have a problem. I use 2 Icons (Stun and Incapacitates) and since the icons always change (depends on last spell) it can be hard sometimes to know what is what. Especially if you often play with different people/classes. There are so much different icons in the game for stuns or Incapacitates.
I would LOVE if i could just use MY 2 Spells for that icons. I would use the Hex icon for Incapacitates and the Lightnin Lasso Icon for Stun.
Is it possible to add a feature, where i can chose my own icon for each DR category?

Thats how i use the addon atm:

I know there is an option where i can show a DR category label but my i cons are too small and i would like to keep it as clean and simple as possible.

Uncompatible with ElvUI?

Party DR icons doesn't show when using ElvUI, any idea? Thanks!

[Bug]: Opener stuns not showing.

What happened?

Opener stun Diminishing returns aren't showing. If I use cheap shot. It doesn't appear on my nameplates on the Wotlk PTR.

Tracking DR categories by default icon

Just using this for feedback since thats what the first page link for feedback sends me to.

But eh, simple request really.. can we get an option to show DR categories not by using a text but rather by using a default set of icons based on the players currently played class?

What I mean is that I don't want a paladins HoJ to show up as a HoJ icon when im playing a Rogue, I want it to show as either a Cheap Shot or Kidney Shot icon. And for any DR school the players class has no access to a general icon can be used.. as long as it is the same one everytime. Same with Sheep and Sap, or Fear and Blind. Just to show the Sap icon for a Sheep and show the Blind icon for a Fear.

It makes no difference for veteran players, but for less experienced ones I think this is a major deal

Classic Era Support

Hi,
first of all, great addon!
Can you update for the latest Classic Era Version please?
Thanks in advance!

Not tracking mortal coil and fear

Hello,

Would love to use this addon to display DRs over nameplates in area and it is working for my shadowfury but not my coil or fear.

Please advise.

Player DR not being tracked.

Hey, since BFA Diminish doesn't seem to track dimishing returns on PLAYER and TARGET - arena one works fine. Is that known issue or have I fucked something with setting it up?

[Suggestion] Sound Alert on DR expiring.

Could we please get the ability to have a sound alert attached to various types of diminishing returns expiring on ourselves/enemies? it would really help me and a lot of others have improved awareness im sure.

If possible It could be nice to have the option to have it alert us x seconds before it expires too to plan ahead. Thanks !

[Bug]: blocks GLadiusEx

All other addons dont block it - just diminish. For Retail PvP thats huge.

Missing Spell ID in DRs

Warlocks have a talent called Horrify that makes their fear just stand still.
This changes the fear spell id from 118699 to 130616

The new spell id is missing.

"Unleashed Shield" should not be a Root-DR

What happened?

There is a PvP Talent from Shaman, called "Unleashed Shield":

https://www.wowhead.com/spell=356736/unleash-shield

Its like a kick-root (when both shields are active) but actually its NOT on the root DR.
Idk why they did it but it has its own DR.

In your Addon its in the root-DR-group. Would be great if you could remove it from there, because right now its it is very irritating when i play with actual roots like Earthgrab Totem, because the DR timer is always wrong.

Request: Add option to adjust font size/position for CC categories

Is your feature request related to a problem?
I'm on zhCN client and the font is too small to be readable on screen.

Describe the solution or feature you'd like:
I'm changing the hard-coded font size/position in config.lua for now. I'd like to have a option to adjust the font size/position in-game.

Additional context:

Player DR's duplicating to party1

I'm using "anchor to UIParent" setting on party and player DR's and whenever my DR timer shows on player, it duplicates it to party1. Party1 will still track DR's actually cast on party1 and those won't duplicate to player, but anything on player will also go to party1 (and refresh as if it was applied to party1 directly). It also happens even when party1 doesn't exist.

I'm assuming this has to do with the fact that when not using "anchor to UIParent", that player is in the default raid frames. So that might be the source of the bug (unless I'm really missing something here).

Icon Size is randomly chosen when Masque is used

What is the problem? Is there any Lua errors?
No.

Is this issue for Classic, TBC or Retail?
TBC, but when I played Retail it occurred there to.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
Activate at least 2 different units (e.g. Nameplate and Arena).
Select different icon sizes for them (e.g. Nameplate = 20, Arena = 40).
Use "Toggle Test Mode" a few times and you'll notice that the icons for both Arena and Nameplate are (seemingly) randomly chosen between 40 and 20. So, for (e.g.) Arena1 you'll have for example 2 icons that are 40, and 1 icon that is 20.

Note: The issue seems to be happening only for Nameplate and Arena, other frame icons seem unaffected (I set them to 40).

Does the issue still occur when all addons except Diminish are disabled?
No. The issue only occurs when Masque and Diminish are used together. Since Diminish is intended to support Masque I thought it was worth reporting.

Was it working in a previous version? If yes, which was the last good one?
Not to my knowledge (TBC).
