Key Features

Key Features & How to Use:

Automatic Timer: When you cast Banish, a timer appears counting down. Alerts can notify you at 20s, 10s, 5s, and 1s remaining.
Early Break Detection: If Banish is broken early, a warning message appears and a sound is played.
Rebanish on Break: Clicking the warning message will reapply Banish.
Death Alerts: If you die during Banish, other Warlocks will receive a message. Clicking it will target the dead Warlock's previous target.
Communication: Alerts are sent via whispers or raid/party chat, configurable in settings.

Information

In the addon, there are two variants for detecting Banish:

Correct. The timer is activated at the event CHAT_MSG_SPELL_PERIODIC_CREATURE_DAMAGE.
Incorrect. If the above event does not work, then the timer is activated at the SPELLCAST_STOP event, which is not very reliable. In this case, the Banish button with the timer will be pulsed.

Note: For reasons unknown to me, all events for a unit do not work if the unit on which event, is at a great distance (about 28-30 yards) from the player. In other words, if the player will cast Banish at the maximum available distance, then the events for the 1 detection variant may not work, but for 2 will work as SPELLCAST_STOP only works for the player.
