A spell alert for Sacred Duty would be great, not sure if one exists for it though.

Hi and thank you for your feedback. If you believe there could be a good spell alert, please visit https://old.wow.tools/files/#search=spellactivationoverlays%2F&page=1&sort=0&desc=asc and see if there's a nice visuals (ideally a hammer-like effect).

Can we please get a visual for Inquisition being active with it fading away (like a visual countdown)? Like the bar for Divine Purpose that slowly fades away from left and right towards the center.

@sausje Hi and thank you or your feedback.

The main goal of the addon is to tell players "something has happened and you should cast some specific spell or ability that you maybe wouldn't have cast otherwise". The Art of War is a perfect example: when it procs, you know it's a good time to cast Exorcism, otherwise you usually don't want to cast it.

I'm not so sure about Inquisition. When you have the buff, you just hit harder. It doesn't really tell you that something should be done. The one thing that might fall into the "you should do this" category, is the fact that the visual timer tells you "you should cast Inquisition again before it fades out" if paladins should strive for maximizing the uptime of Inquisition. Is that the case?

Even then, it would display a visual alert 24/7, which is kinda the opposite of why alerts exist in the first place. Alerts usually invite you to cast something as soon as possible, while an Inquisition alert would invite you to cast something as late as possible.
