ShadowGreenLight - WoW AddOns

Preliminary : Shadow priest suffer from a well-known and documented bug, if spellpower changes (trinket procs etc) update the tick value of their dots, crit and %dmg increase are still only evaluated when the dot is cast. Given the fact that through Pain and Suffering talent Shadow Word: Pain is never recasted during a single target fight, this can lead to important loss of DPS.

ShadowGreenLight takes into account all available raid buffs and debuffs, as well as encounter-specific ones and helps the player decide if recasting Shadow Word: Pain is worth it.

Background color changes from red (no upgrades available) to green (all raid upgrades available)
Numeric indicator (top) gives [DPS increase% if SWP is recasted now]/[Total possible DPS increase% in your raid]
Recast indicator (skull icon in the square) : there are upgrades available, recasting SWP now would increase DPS (does not account for DPS loss of one gcd due to recasting, seen next indicator)
Time indicator (bottom) : knowing that the player would lose a gcd to SWP recasting, this indicator tells you when the DPS loss would be compensated by SWP ticking for more.
In some situations (mostly encounter-specific like Thaddius charges or Malygos sparks) there are bonus upgrades available : in this case the top numeric indicator and border of the square are turned red.

All indicators can be turned on/off using /sgl command.

ShadowGreenLight allows for third party author to plug their own display in.

The following talents are taken into account by ShadowGreenLight :

Spell Critical Strike Chance Debuff
- Improved Scorch
- Winter's Chill
- Improved Shadow Bolt
Critical Strike Chance Taken Debuff
- Totem of Wrath
- Heart of the Crusader
- Master Poisoner (need confirmation for this one)
Spell Critical Strike Chance Buff
- Moonkin aura
- Elemental Oath
Percentage Damage Increase
- Ferocious Inspiration
- Sanctified Retribution

A note to all the guys who want me to "please add trinket procs" : This addon is devoted solely to monitoring and (in some case) abusing the fact that mind-flay refreshes of SW:P do not take into account %dmg buffs and +crit rating buffs, spellpower buffs are taken into account when refreshing with mind flay. To the best of my knowledge there is only one trinket that procs +crit rating / %dmg (Nevermelting Ice Crystal crit proc). Please stop asking me to add spellpower procs.

Thanks for the mod. I cannot seem to get it to work. When I try the /sgl command, nothing happens. What am I doing wrong? Thanks.

@Sindalee : never tested it actually, I have to find a properly specced rogue and they are rare... Will try to correct it though.

While in raid on a target, is there a way to display what buffs are missing? When it shows 27/31 I would like to know who's not putting there debuff up. Yes I want to get onto someone about not putting a debuff up. haha Btw, love the addon thx for your hard work!
