So I just hit 60 with my shaman who I am leveling enhancement and Feral Spirits are amazing! But I am trying to figure out a way to track how long I have left with them. As far as I can see there's no buff or timer anywhere on the screen. I was trying to see if there's a way to do something with power auras, but can't find anything that would trigger it.

Any help would be appreciated!

A great addon to track this is called ShockandAwe. It will display two bars for you on the screen, one is the 3 minute cooldown of before you can use the Feral Spirits again and the smaller bar shows the 45 second duration of the Feral Spirits out and active.

Switching accepted answer because it's more in line with what's in the question. Even though I will probably just be watching OmniCC. ^_^ – Nehi Feb 1 at 16:28

You can accomplish this using a Power Aura. I'm now using the same config to track my Mirror Image spell which works much in the same way.

Activation Tab

  1. Create an aura activated by My Spell Cooldown
  2. Set the spell to Feral Spirit
  3. Check Invert to reverse the trigger condition to when the spell is on cooldown.
  4. Check Display Only Depends on Cooldown (not sure if this is needed, but it can't hurt)

Timer Tab

  1. Check Show (This might be optional) and place the timer where you want it.
  2. Set Duration to 45 seconds
  3. Set Invert Aura When Time Below to 0.5 seconds (this is the lowest it will go without disabling the option)

Viola? Seriously? I'd edit the typo for you... but it's too funny. – Feist Feb 6 at 0:00
Hush you! It's a perfectly legit typo when you don't have a french spell checker. – Wridel Feb 6 at 3:34

 Hurray! Musical addons! I mean... I was actually trying to figure out how to do this with Power Auras. Thanks for showing me Wridel! – Nehi Feb 6 at 4:06
btw, Display Only Depends on Cooldown is not a good thing to hit. It makes things go weird if you get interrupted for some reason or another. ^_^ – Nehi Feb 6 at 22:00

I tend to just watch the cooldown (via OmniCC), and know that when the timer hits 2:15 the puppies go bye bye.

You know, I've never switched OmniCC to MM:SS before... I feel stupid. =P – Nehi Feb 1 at 2:22

The poor-man's way of tracking the remaining duration of the Feral Spirits (without an add-on) is to hit the Spirit Walk ability as soon as the pet bar pops up. Spirit Walk is on a 32-second cooldown, so when it becomes available again you have 13 seconds left on your wolves. Spirit Walk itself lasts 15 seconds, so if you hit it again as soon as it cools down, then your wolves will disappear just before Spirit Walk wears off the second time.
