Buff Timer Alerts

Your buffs expired mid-rotation. Again. Stop losing DPS to mental overhead.

The Problem

You're mid-rotation at Raksha. Overload expires. You die because you weren't watching the timer.

You're tracking: Overload. Weapon poison. Incense sticks. Prayer renewal. Aura timer. Elder overload salve. That's 6 different timers. You're also tracking: Boss mechanics. Prayer flicks. Ability cooldowns. Food/brew count. Where the boss is standing. What phase you're in. Something's gotta give. Usually it's the buff timers. Overload expires mid-rotation. DPS tanks. You miss the kill time. Or worse—you die because your stats dropped and you couldn't tank the hit. Buff tracking is CONSTANT mental overhead that pulls focus from actual PvM.

"I lose so many kills because I forget to repot. I'm watching mechanics and my overload just... runs out. By the time I notice, I'm getting shredded."

— Discord - PvM Help channel

"Watching 4-5 different buff timers while doing a boss is exhausting. I want to focus on the FIGHT, not on 'did my incense expire?'"

— Reddit r/runescape - PvM discussion

Stop watching timers. Get alerts when buffs are about to expire. Focus on PvM.

Buff Timer Alerts tracks every active buff and warns you 5 seconds before expiry. Audio ping + visual notification. You hear the alert, refresh the buff, keep fighting. No more lost uptime. No more mental overhead. Just pure focus on mechanics.

How It Works

🔔

Smart Expiry Warnings

5 seconds before a buff expires, you get an alert. Audio ping (customizable sound) + visual flash on your overlay. Enough time to refresh without interrupting your rotation. Never let a buff drop again.

📊

Visual Buff Bar Overlay

See all active buffs in a clean bar at the edge of your screen. Each buff shows remaining time as a countdown. At a glance: 'Overload: 4:32, Incense: 1:45, Poison: 8:20.' No need to check inventory.

🎚️

Per-Buff Alert Customization

Overload expiry is CRITICAL → loud audio alert. Incense expiry is minor → subtle visual flash only. You decide priority for each buff. Full control over notification intensity.

🧪

Auto-Detect Buff Application

Drink an overload? Tracker auto-starts 6-minute timer. Apply weapon poison? Auto-detects and tracks. Use incense? Tracked. No manual input. Just use buffs normally and the tracker handles the rest.

📈

Buff Uptime Analytics

After your PvM session, see stats: 'Overload uptime: 94%' 'Weapon poison uptime: 78%' (uh oh, you forgot to reapply a few times). Data-driven improvement. Track progress over time.

💡

Buff Stacking Suggestions

Using multiple buffs? Tracker suggests optimal application order to minimize overlapping timers. 'Apply overload first, then weapon poison, then incense within 10 seconds.' Max efficiency with zero planning.
