Champ/Rogue Tanking Issue... Buffed out.

I was currently tanking in AC and came across a new challenge being a Champ/Rogue. Being Buffed out. This caused me to not be able to see my Chain Drive when it became active. Anyone have a good addon or idea to fix this? I am trying some different Buffbar addons to see if it will solve the problem but cant find any i like. What I would really love to find is an addon that would give a nice big warning every time chain drive poped. (or a script that would check to see if the buff was active and if it was cast rune pulse.)

Oh and in case someone is wondering what i mean here.. The game by default (and even most the addons i find) Only show 24 buffs.. after that they don't show on the UI..

Doesn't DIYCE let you write something like "If buff(Chain Drive), cast Rune Pulse; else cast Shadowstab" and turn that into a button? Call it "melee attack" and just spam 1 button to cast the best attack you can.

Keep in mind, I'm not completely sure this is possible. I've been lazy and not actually set mine up to do anything like this yet.

Would work in your situation. And in most any situation.

I am not sure I have never used DIYCE and had not really planned on it. Would stink to have to go through all that just to effectively tank with buffs.

SmartBuffBars allows you to show up to 40 buffs, if I remember correctly. Also I believe Ikarus does too, but I'm honestly not sure.. even though I have iKarus.

Well, it's entirely possible to use Rune Pulse without any addons/scripts or watching the buff bar:

Watch the refresh on your Rune Pulse button instead (the basic button you get from dragging skill book to hotbar). You said tanking, so I'll assume you're in Shield Form. And C/R, so I'll assume dual wielding. That means that the odds of Rune Pulse ready to use and Chain Drive NOT activated are really small.

Just click Rune Pulse as long as the button doesn't show a cooldown timer (you'll see the cooldown refresh whenever Chain Drive activates). Usually it'll work because Chain Drive. On the rare occasion it starts the 2 sec cast, move and push a different button instead. Maybe you wasted half a second on rare instance, but at least you didn't have to mess with addons and such.

DIYCE or other scripts are probably the superior option, but this method kinda works too.

/run if GetActionUsable(70) then CastSpellByName("Rune Pulse"); else CastSpellByName("Shadow Stab");end

This will cast Rune Pulse whenever Chain Drive procs because it resets the cooldown. Just change that (70) to whatever skill slot you want to park your icon for Rune Pulse.

The only downside is if you try to run this during GCD, it will do Shadow Stab because technically Rune Pulse will not be available during GCD....

Hope that helps!
