Minor Expiration Timer question

[Baltazhar]

Is it possible to get an expiration timer to display a custom string? Instead of the usual Generic, Water Elemental, Raise Dead, Animate Dead etc?

You can use your own custom buff, and just rename it (worked for me before).

That's where it was... Have an ability where I'm pretty sure the Expiration Timer is a custom string, just couldn't find it all of a sudden. Is there a way to add a custom Timer string through a "Unit - Add Expiration Timer" action?

EDIT: Thx for the answer btw, and +rep

Yes, there is.
As to be random, you can simply go to the Buffs editor tab, find
the healing ward buff (the one above the healing ward aura), and
simply change the Text - Tooltip to whatever you want, which'll
show in the blue bar timer thing when you add the healing ward
buff via triggers. There are some other buffs you can use, as well.

Ah okay, that sounds pretty logical

Thx a lot for ur time to answer my questions, unfortunately I'm changing the ability completely cuz I couldn't get it to work to my complete satisfaction
