GladiusEx
GladiusEx is an arena unit frames addon based on Gladius.
What's new
New features include:
- Party frames: support for showing frames for your own team
- Cooldown tracker: a highly configurable module for tracking all types of cooldowns
- Skill history: shows the icons of the last few skills used by the unit
- Alerts: makes the frames blink in a noticeable way during some configured events (including low health, auras and specific spells being cast)
- Pets: new module for displaying pet bars
- Interrupts: See the interrupts directly on your arena & party frames.
And the classic modules, most of which have been improved in various ways:
- Auras: now with more filtering options
- Class Icon: new display modes: by spec, role and portraits
- Cast Bar: now shows which spells can't be interrupted
- DR Tracker: track the diminishing returns timers on both the enemy team and your team. Now lets you select which icon you want displayed for every category!
- Health Bar: now displays incoming heals and absorbs
- Tags: configure every text to show exactly what you want, now with more built-in tags and improved performance
FAQ
How do I bring the user interface up ?
You can use the /gex slash command, or you can access the options from the addons tab in the interface panel.
Where did the trinket and the dispels modules go ?
They have been replaced by the cooldowns module, which now allows you to have several groups of cooldowns configured independently. By default, the trinket cooldown is shown in group 2 and a few other cooldowns in group 1.
What is that additional set of frames that I see ?
Those are the party frames. This is incremental functionality that will help you track not only your enemies but also your friends. If you use your own you can turn these easily off in the general settings. You can also disable only your own frame, but keep the GladiusEx party frames.
Is it possible to have text timers for the auras, cooldowns or the DR icons ?
The timer module has been removed, but this can be achieved with OmniCC or other similar addons.

Posted Sep 1, 2025Is there a fix for party frames fading during combat? Looks like it’s an issue with range check on teammates because when I set the out of range alpha to 1 it stops the fade, but then I can’t tell when party members are out of range.

Posted Jul 7, 2025Hey there! Having a small problem with the add-on (which I love btw): In Class Icons > Important Auras, whenever I delete an aura from the list, that change goes away when I log out; when I log back in, any deleted auras are back on the list again. But other changes to the auras there seem to save fine, e.g. changing their priority levels. Is this a known issue, or is there something I'm missing to get those deletions to save?

Posted Jun 9, 2025hey guys.
Spells are missing, and I cannot seem to find a way to add theme. i have tried editing the .lua but the game just overrule the changes I make, and set it back to default.
we miss all the new spells like hand of divinity and monsk Sooth chi (disorient) we also miss searing glare, which Paladins are spamming all the time.
["cooldownsSpells"] = {
[80353] = true,
[385539] = true, -- Hand of Divinity
[410126] = true, -- Searing Glare

Posted Jun 1, 2025hi on retail, the click module doesn't seem to work. This can be replicated by just using the default profile. None of left click (target) or right click (focus) works. Thanks!

Posted Jun 2, 2025In reply to user_5npppjuhrj9bnfiz: Looks like it's a conflict with "clique". Adding the 3 gladius arena buttons to clique's block list fixed it.
