Target Buffs
configures which Buffs on the target are shown in the monster Buff area.
Two monitoring modes
Choose how to add a Buff before searching:
| Mode | Shown when | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Search and Add Self-Applied | Only Buffs you applied to the target | Vulnerability and DoTs you are responsible for keeping up |
| Search and Add Global Monitor | The target has it, no matter who applied it | The Boss's own mechanic Buffs, Debuffs shared by the whole party |
A Buff can belong to only one of the two; adding it with the other mode moves it automatically.
Monitor all self-applied buffs: when on, the overlay lists every Buff you apply. Handy for finding out the names first and then trimming the list.
Priority, alerts and display names
| Setting | Effect |
|---|---|
| Buff Priority | When space is limited, Buffs higher in the list are shown first |
| Buff Countdown Alerts | Highlights when the remaining time is ≤ the set number of seconds, optionally blinking |
| Display Names | Sets an alias for a monitored Buff in the overlay |
| Text Panel Style | Row / column spacing, font size, name / value / progress bar colors and opacity |
When you remove a Buff from monitoring, its priority, alert and voice settings are cleaned up as well.
Voice announcements
In Buff Voice Broadcast you can set on gain / x seconds left / on expiry announcements for monitored Buffs. Each entry shows its source scope:
- Self-applied: judged strictly by the instance you applied; a Buff of the same name applied by a teammate will not trigger or extend your announcement;
- Global: judged by whether the Buff exists at all; when several players apply it, the first instance to appear counts as gained and the last one to disappear counts as expired.
Common Debuff reference
| Fantasy | Search name | Buff ID | Effect |

Examples
Example Watch the vulnerability you applied and get alerted before it dropsScenario: You bring Poison Hive and are responsible for keeping "Venom Vulnerability (Poison Hive)" on the Boss. You want to see its remaining time in the overlay, get a highlight when it is about to end, and hear a voice reminder to reapply it when it drops.
Step 1: Add it as self-applied
- Open .
- Choose Search and Add Self-Applied, search for Venom Vulnerability (Poison Hive) (ID 2110099) and add it.
Self-applied is the right choice because you only care about your own instance; if two people in the party bring Poison Hive, with global you couldn't tell whose it is.
Step 2: Set an alert
In Buff Countdown Alerts, add an alert for "Venom Vulnerability (Poison Hive)": highlight in red when ≤ 3 seconds remain, with blinking on.
Step 3: Voice reminder on expiry
In Buff Voice Broadcast, add "Venom Vulnerability (Poison Hive)", check on expiry, and set the text to "Reapply vulnerability". Make sure Voice announcements are on and the audio has been generated.
Step 4: Open the overlay and position it
- Make sure Enable Monster Monitor is on, then click Toggle Monster Monitor.
- Edit Monster Layout, drag the monster Buff area near the Boss HP bar.
Check it
Apply Poison Hive to a dummy in the training ground once. The dummy must be your current attack target, otherwise the overlay won't show its Buffs.
