Pet Battle UI Change?

Post by Slyde » October 16th, 2014, 5:24 pm

EDIT: The addon I was looking for that displays the enemy abilities and cooldowns is Pet Tracker. A new version for 6.02 is available on Curse.

I didn't see anyone else post about this, so maybe it's a bug for me.

During a pet battle I no longer see the enemy pet's ability bar with the cooldown counter. Was this removed or is it just me with the problem?

The 'Swap Pet' window is now gone and replaced by icons of my pets in the same place where the enemy bar used to be.

The only addon I have enabled is Pet Battle Teams, but even with that disabled I still don't see the enemy ability bar.

It sounds like you've got some add-ins that aren't working anymore or aren't being loaded because they are out of date.
This is the default UI

The default ui has never shown cooldown counters to opponents abilities, thats some add-on that has been doing that to you, which likely doesn't work anymore with the new patch.

Thanks for the reply. It must be the Pet Battle Teams addon that shows it, and that hasn't been updated by the original author. The latest version was updated by another member and I guess he missed that. Or, maybe it was part of another pet addon that hasn't been updated yet.

Too bad - seeing the enemy abilities and their cooldowns is a big help to battle strategy.

Thanks again.

Note that you can still see the abilities that enemy pets have in pve by mousing over the enemy pets icon, just not their cooldowns, in pvp pet battles you can't see the abilities either, though.

Just click button number 4 and select one of your other two pets on the team. If you're looking to swap in another pet that's not already on the team, that can't be done. The team is locked-in during the battle.

Also, some of your enemy's abilities (like 'webbed', or 'rooted') will disable button #4 for one or more rounds, preventing you from swapping. Hope that answers your question.

I've never seen that happen, unless you only had one pet on your 'team'.
