PitBull Unit Frames 4.0

219 - Deathknight 2min Ghoul Timer

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

On DK's they get a basic spell that summons a ghoul as a guardian for 2mins.

Use of this spell with the default UI provides a small timmer on the player frame, and if you right click it, the ghoul despawns / dies.

It would be nice if PB4 also implemented something of this sort.

---Please provide any additional information below.

    After some discussion with the team and some testing I started doing the necessary changes to the Totem module to dynamically switch identity to a Ghoul-module when loaded on a DK. It does however have a very high chance to confuse dk players as the module itself has many references to Totems in its settings.

    Will have to think about this some more.

    Hmm, at first glance, the way they implemented non-specced dk pets is a really ugly abuse of the totem api on blizzards part. I'll do some testing.

    Correct Hinalover, but specifically the 2min Ghoul (untallented) uses the Totem API to get the time left on the Ghoul and to dissmiss it.

    Not necessarily. If the DK is specced Undead, they can talent the Ghoul to act as a pet (summons and desummons while mounted, pet bar, etc.)

    This may or may not need to be in the totems component but in core? maybe even a seperate module altogeather.
