GW2Clarity VS Blish-HUD

Just use Gw2Clarity and customize it by yourself, to whatever size and position you want.

We don't have access to stuff like this with the APIs we currently use, but you might be interested in Gw2Clarity.

Clarity helps massively with the buff bar

GW2 Clarity. You can't use it in WvW or sPvP, not because you would be banned, but because third-party addons are restricted in what kind of information they have access to in competitive modes, so it just straight up doesn't work in PvP instances.

That's why I said it doesn't show duration. Addon author clarified why they're not going to do it here. TL;DR: it's a mix of technical limitations and their own stance on what addons should be able to do.

I tried to install Clarity addon but it seems to work just partially and I'm not sure what's wrong. Couldn't find any information on google. Do you guys know how to setup it properly? Sorry for a bad picture. The layout's not visible on the screenshots.

Try Clarity. It allows you to track only important boons, highlights them if you're low on stacks/don't have the boon anymore, etc. You can place it anywhere on the screen and adjust the size to make it easier to track. Unfortunately, it doesn't show boon duration — a mix of technical restrictions and the author's personal stance on the matter. So you can only see whether the boon is active or not.

I'm not sure if the ArcDPS boon table project plans on expanding the list of effects they track, but if you use Clarity, you can help by submitting a PR with the buff you need.

You can take a look at the GitHub https://github.com/Friendly0Fire/GW2Clarity

Motivation: GW2 kinda forces you to look at the bottom on the screen for cds. I'd like to reduce the need for that. GW2Clarity - https://github.com/Friendly0Fire/GW2Clarity - is an addon i found which helps with that by displaying boons/conditions - unfortunately - like ARCdps it's disabled on PvP. And sometimes you don't even have feedback on how long something takes. Example: yesterday I started playing Dragonhunter w/ Longbow. And I found out, that the gameplay revolves around activating "speer of justice" and fitting certain abilities within the 10s window after it. Sure you can build an intuition for those 10s. But it would be a lot more chill to have a count-down / progress-bar as an orientation. I would even reduce the 10s to maybe 7s to let me know if I can still prioritize damage-over-time abilities over others to make use of the speer.

That said, module developer could pick up such a project. We've discussed similar ideas here: https://github.com/blish-hud/Blish-HUD/discussions/646

You may be better off asking these questions on either the official BlishHUD discord or github. People might be able to help you here, but they're obviously in a better position to help over there.

Might I suggest tossing a request here for whatever's missing? Depending on complexity/content, I can try to add something to my main pack.

You can find most addons in the Guild Wars 2 Unofficial Add-On Manager. You might also be interested in Blish HUD or TacO.

My pack is best used with Blish HUD due to it having features that are currently not available in TacO. If you are unsure what Blish HUD is, how to install it, or how to use marker packs with it, please refer to the Blish HUD Discord

If you wanna put something here, I'll try and prioritize them. The more detail you can provide, the better. https://github.com/blish-hud/Blish-HUD/discussions/categories/requested-marker-packs
