Request for countdown before Crux is lost #24

This would be a request that'd probably mostly benefit healers.

Once I generate Crux, I'd like for a 30s timer to begin counting down until my Crux is gone (maybe in the middle of the rotating circle of Crux - or somewhere else that'd result in minimal screen clutter). This way, I can maintain 3 Crux with the minimum amount of Crux-generating skill casts necessary. I'd like for this timer to be an optional display, so players don't have to see it if they don't want to.

Thank you for your consideration!

This is interesting. I thought Crux expired after 30 seconds of being out of combat -- sounds like I have some studying to do.

Do you know the conditions for losing Crux? Is it 30 seconds from the time that specific Crux was generated it is lost?

I'll do some experimentation.

Regarding the feature, do you see a need for configuration of when the timer would start to show? To put it another way, rather than showing a countdown from 30s, the counterdown could be configured to show when there's 15/10/5/etc seconds remaining. Useful or nah?

Bandwidth is an issue at the moment, but we'll see if/when we can cook something up.

Ahhhh, I see the timer now in the character sheet. It's 30s after any Crux generated.

Okay, that gives me some ideas.
