This is useful as it allows a player to predict if the enemy will use their trinket, meaning you can react by using follow up CC as they trinket, which is very effective in PvP! Gladius also allows a player to track the exact cooldown on their enemy's trinket. This allows a player to avoid or interrupt casts to avoid taking damage, or to stop healing or crowd control. This allows you to react to and deal with that cooldown appropriately.Īnother benefit of Gladius is that it allows a player to track which casts the enemy is making, as it has a cast bar underneath the enemy's frame. For example when a Feral Druid pops Incarnation: King of the Jungle, their nameplate will turn into the Incarnation icon with a timer, allowing you to easily manage the duration that they will be doing increased damage for. Gladius also allows a player to easily manage which cooldowns the enemy is using. Gladius will let you know roughly the amount of time left until you are able to Polymorph the target again with the full duration. After this, the Polymorph spell is immune for a set amount of time. For example with a Polymorph, the first one that lands will be an eight second duration, the next will be half the duration (four seconds) and then the last will be two seconds. It is a compact addon with enemy frames that allows you to easily manage DRs (diminishing returns). Gladius allows a player to easily manage all aspects of arena.
