Using classic cast bars at the moment and this thing is buggy as hell.
Is there anything that’s working as it should or am I stuck with this one?
What I do is just count, if it’s blue theres just over 2 seconds. If it’s red, there’s over 3. If it’s green, fck try and interrupt right away.
Really though I’ve no idea. Im waiting a bit for addons, to make sure the best rise to the most popular etc.
You can create a custom castbar for both yourself and targetted enemy in WeakAuras.
Buggy how? I use classic cast bars and it works perfectly for me.
ClassicCastbars addon works fine.

It doesn’t. That’s why I’m looking for a new one.
It works for me as well but maybe it conflicts with another addon?
Hes right. Sometimes its not accurate, which can kill you.
I was quite certain it was what i had… hum…
is there perhaps addn conflict, or are there any lua errors it gives ?
eCastingBar classic is also an option to look into.
If this does not work either, give me a shout and I investigate more options.
Maybe you are lagging sometimes ?
It’s not because of lags.
Castbars are still going even if an enemy cancels the cast and cast times aren’t accurate as well.
Because Blizzard does not allow the tracking of the spell ranks from the combat chat in classic.

ThreatPlates castbars seem to be working fine.

All addons do the guesswork

As other posters said, Classic cast bar addons cannot account for spell rank, I assume they simply take the level of the enemy and extrapolate an arbitrary spell rank which might or might not have a cast time too short or too long.
There is no accurate cast bar addon. They’re all just guessing the cast time, that’s why it appears to be “buggy” for you. Only blizzard can create an accurate cast bar.
Cast bars don’t know anything apart from when the cast starts. The end time is always a guess. Usually an educated guess on mob statistics, but a guess non the less. I use tukui which has a build in cast bar and it behaves the same way. Even for myself. Sometimes it thinks I’m still casting after I’ve been interrupted.
For enemies it’s the same thing.
Makes fake casting in pvp a lot easier though.
Not only spell ranks but the caster as well. I.e. if there are two or more npcs around with the same name, the cast bar you see may be not your target’s.
I’m using classic cast bars and theres nothing wrong with it, in fact I love it
