Grid

353 - Mine/others buffs/debuffs difference

What is the enhancement in mind? How should it look and feel?

One of the things that I wanted to do with Grid is to be able to see both my Beacon of Light and other holy paladins Beacon of Light at the same time, but differently, such way that I can find out which is mine just by looking at grid. This is at this moment impossible since I cannot have 2 x Beacon of Light buffs, so that I setup one to show everyones beacon and the second one to show only my beacon.

Example: My beacon is an icon, other players beacon is lower left corner colored in orange.

Please provide any additional information below.

One way to add this to Grid is to move the "Show if mine" check from the debuff to the "part" of the grid where you want to show it on. I do understand that this would be really hard from configuration ui point of view. Other way I see it is to be able to add a buff/debuff twice, and set them up differently. This would also be hard for when you have to chose between 2 buffs/debuffs since they have the same name. Also having for every debuff a self only/others only component would make sense, and the list of debuffs to chose from would have a list of spells like: "Self: Beacon of Light / Others: Beacon of Light" if you check the Differentiate Self/Others or simply having  "Beacon of Light" if the option is not checked.

I am absolutely sure that you know better about this, but since I am wanting so much to have this thing added to Grid, I tryed my best to give as much information as I possibly can.

P.S. Really sorry if is been already sugested but I was not able to find it.

    It's been suggested, though possibly not in the ticket tracker, and it's something we would like to add eventually. However, due to the complexities you've already thought of, and due to a lack of time, it's never been added, and there's no ETA on when it might happen.

    In the meantime, there are several third-party plugins that can show you your <insert buff here> and other people's <insert buff here> separately. Many of them are labeled for druids and HoTs, but do work for other classes as well.

    You can find a (mostly complete) list of Grid plugins here:
