Might that be your problem, Raij? Here's how I changed it: #showtooltip /castsequence reset=15/shift Mend Pet, null That way, if you hit it prematurely and lock yourself out, you can still hold down shift and hit it to manually reset and cast Mend Pet immediately.

Maybe it's bartender-related, but occasionally, my button is staying at the exclamation mark indefinitely. Annoying as hell. Generally, I would like a timer addon as long as it would: a) display ice trap cooldown as well as ice trap (untriggered) duration as well as ice trap (triggered) duration. I have too many addons already, so I don't like BRK's KHT/Cooldown Timers solution. b) is an ace addon. I have too many addons already to update them manually.

If you've got the lightning reflexes to hit it immediately, great, but otherwise you'll lose a bit of overlap. I use that same macro, except I keep the timer at 14, not 15.

I recently switched to Dominos for my actionbars (highly recommended, btw) and it highlights active spells in green... that works for me, too. I feel uncomfortable using a Mend Pet macro that might cause me to lose critical Mend Pet ticks. Believe it or not, I just look to see how long the Mend Pet buff has left…
