Comments on: Creating your own Power Aura Configs

I’m not in game, so I can’t completely verify this, but I’m almost positive that Power Auras won’t check two conditionals like that. Power Auras gives a list of alert types and you choose one of them, thus choosing those two is pretty much impossible (mana and ability off of cooldown) because they are two different (almost competing in a sense) options in that list.

It would be rather easy to create a frame, with any sort of texture/picture, in game that hides and shows itself depending on those two requirements, but it would be a custom addon. The only issue is that it would be a very niche addon.

Another option (if you still want to use Power Auras) is to use a half of a picture for one of the two conditionals, and the other half of the image for the other conditional. Like a semi-circle or semi-crescent, or possibly two stars.

Since I am leveling an enchance Shammy actually, I will put together some Shammy power Auras that should come in handy. I will post a compilation once I make it.

I’m currently configuring this for my Enhance Shammy. I’m having trouble getting a
< 50% mana + [Shamanistic Rage] off CD alert.

Any tips?

My constantly fluctuating schedule is a blessing and a curse at the same time.

Now if only I could win the lottery and pick up a beta invite to SC2 or WoW 4.0 to try and fill in some of these gaps.

If there is one thing Shmii is, is awesome. I am glad he could help since I am not around enough anymore. :(

Woot! I had to remove the “invert” and it works PERFECTLY! I changed the icons around a bit but other than that its exactly what I needed. I will encourage everyone to use this code.

thanks again!

Aesthetically this probably isn’t what you want, but here’s one for Windfury and one for Flametongue. Note that it won’t discern when you have 28 minutes left and when you have 2 seconds left, nor will it remind you that you have Windfury and Flametongue mixed up. Not that I’ve ever done that before or anything. >.>

I love the info that you provided here for hunters but my problem with PA is my Shaman. I have been trying for two days to figure out how to get a warning when Winfury Weapon and Flametongue Weapon enchants expire on my weapons. I know this makes me a slacker for not paying attention to my buff bars but sometimes you just get really busy killing! Any help would totally rock!

I little more detail could get you a lot more help. This will get you a white crooked Exclamation Mark and a timer for the duration of the buff’s remaining uptime beneath it. It will only show when you have the buff.

I have a Power Aura config for Viper as well. Also one for low mana, high mana, etc. I am a big fan. :)

I use PowerAura to detect Aspect of the Viper. Basically cover the whole screen in blue. Very useful especially when I have this bad habit of forget to switch back to Dragonhawk.

Watcher is one of the best tool I have used to ensure shot priorities are triggered efficiently.

although we missed it this week because Hodir was casting Flash Freeze as the timer ticked over

I could’ve SWORN they fixed that a month ago.

Bob, I can only assume you are attempting to use PA to monitor Arcane’s Cooldown and alert you when the shot is available again. Most likely you don’t have the option selected for Action Usable. You may want to adjust the setting, but this should get you headed in the right direction. Try importing the following:

gcd:bofalse; soundfile:st; owntex:botrue; b:nu1; anim1:nu1; duration:nu0; mine:bofalse; optunitn:bofalse; multiids:st; opt2:nu0; speed:nu1; combat:nu0; anim2:nu0; size:nu0.14000000059605; torsion:nu1; off:bofalse; stacksOperator:st=; realaura:nu1; g:nu1; r:nu1; opt1:nu3; randomcolor:bofalse; begin:nu0; x:nu144; ignoremaj:botrue; inverse:bofalse; textaura:bofalse; isenchant:bofalse; timer:bofalse; wowtex:bofalse; groupany:bofalse; customsound:st; timerduration:nu0; target:bofalse; customname:st; unitn:stOnly for raid/group.; bufftype:nu7; stacks:nu0; aurastextfont:nu1; party:bofalse; stance:nu10; focus:bofalse; customtex:bofalse; raid:bofalse; isdebufftype:bofalse; texture:nu1; sound:nu0; thresholdinvert:bofalse; threshold:nu50; exact:bofalse; buffname:stArcane Shot; isdebuff:bofalse; alpha:nu1; aurastext:st; icon:stInterface\Icons\Ability_ImpalingBolt; texmode:nu2; symetrie:nu0; ismounted:bofalse; targetfriend:bofalse; y:nu86; isinraid:bofalse; finish:nu0

This is one of the very few “must have” mods I still keep for raiding. I use it on my hunter, my boomkin, and my pally to manage buffs, debuffs, procs, and sometimes most importantly cooldowns. It’s nice being able to hotkey a spell such as killshot and simply hit the 5 key when it’s ready instead of having to find it on my bars, moving my eyes off the action. I really can’t see any class that can’t potentially benefit from this addon. The one option that is lacking is I’d LOVE to turn it off when in a vehicle, for example, during the Argent Tournament, I still get stupid icons whenever I’m jousting and it’s just rather annoying. I’d also love a dual spec option. Is this just to ensure I have Trueshot aura for my marks spec, because I really don’t need it for my survival spec. Or is it like my Serpent Sting that works for both specs. Just a few things to consider.

You should be careful using this addon. It hasn’t been updated in over 4 months. One patch, it will break, and you’ll be left scratching your head.

Other alternatives include:

Watcher – a timeline addon for Hunters specifically (see screenshots for examples).
http://wow.curse.com/downloads/wow-addons/details/shotwatch.aspx

EventAlert – an addon to alert when certain procs go off (like Lock and Load). Very simple and quick to setup. This is similar to PowerAuras, but only really affects Procs.

Got a bit of a problem I can’t overcome… My arcane shot icon shows all the time, I shoot it and the icon is still there, though I’m pretty sure I have the configs right. Am I the only one, or have anyone else had this problem? Could you please paste the right config if so? Thanks.
