Power Auras / Icons

**Dtere1** · 2012-02-10, 05:32 PM

Hi all, was wondering if you could help me out real quick. I did look at Endus's guide, but would appreciate some help with power aura's, since I am a noob with it.

I only want timers / counter for lightning shield, flame shock, and searing totem. Would this be possible?

Also, does anyone know how to get rid of the really annoying icon that blizzard has for 9stacks of lightning shield? The big silver one that appears above the players head?

Thanks

you'll find that under your options menu (possibly under interface rather than options) disable spell alerts.

You could probably disable it by turning off one of the BlizzUI addons in the Addon list?

For LS I actually just use an addon called shieldsup which is a counter for the stacks.
As for FS I use this PA for it.

FS: Version:4.22; b:0.0196; g:0; target:true; icon:Spell_Fire_FlameShock; buffname:Flame Shock; x:-107; customname:Flame Shock; bufftype:2; alpha:1; mine:true; customtex:true; combat:true; size:0.17; y:7; texmode:2; timer.h:1.24; timer.enabled:true; timer.cents:false; timer.y:-28; timer.x:-109

I lol'ed at the Earth Shock comment. At any rate, if you just want to disable it, I would imagine it is under "Interface" somewhere, but there may be addons to disable it. Honestly, it seems fairly nice to me, wish it had a counter, but that can be added with other addons.

To disable it, you got Interface -> Game -> Combat.

Then you toggle the "Show Spell Alerts" checkbox.

This will affect other spells as well, beware. There's no option to only have some spell effects show- For that, you'd have to disable all, then use an addon like PowerAuras to add the alerts for the other effects manually.

And the second image:

Uploaded with ImageShack.us

A couple of notes:

In the first image
-the big orange flame around my toon means that lava burst has cooled down.
-the orange box around my raidframes (i raid 10s) means that i have no fire totem down. Hence i should never really see it while in combat.
-the blue numbers (6 7 8 9) are my lightning shield stacks, as you can probably guess. I chose to start it at 6 as for a dps increas you fire it at 7 stacks or above; I find 6 gives me a nice warning as to when I will soon need to earth shock.
-Green writing below is CDs. Currently, the only real CD i have is elemental mastery - foul gift is a proc, and i put the 5 minute CD there for completions sake, and I no longer use fiery quintessence.

The second image
-You can see my two timers there, pretty self explanatory. The flame shock timer tracks whatever you target is. The totem timer tracks any fire totem, not just searing.
-The green boot is the buff 'velocity', from Insignia of the corrupted mind, the green circle thing is the mastery proc from Foul Gift of the Demon Lord.

By the way, my cast bar is right under my timers and the 2 shocks and lava burst, above the numbers for lightning shield.

If you want any of these, i can upload a text document with the strings which you can import pretty easily. I already have this text document, weak auras has a habit of wiping my settings when WoW updates so I need to keep a backup.

Please try and keep image sizes within reason. I thumbnailed these, using imageshack's default system.

I've just overhauled my personal WeakAuras. I've been lax and haven't converted my old aura addon from Powerauras to my new system, but it's in the works. I wasn't entirely happy with them, but I figured some tricks out while working on warlock auras for an alt, and I'm happier with the new version; my current plan is to test them next week and if all goes well, have them uploaded by the weekend.

Why the change? WeakAuras has support for progress bars, animated groups, and spell effect auras. All of which I'm making use of.

Not much is likely to change before I package and upload them, but here's a teaser shot. This isn't full screen nor is it centred; I'm in the middle of that HUD-style Lava Surge tracker, everything else fits down in that lower left corner. Not seen; a Heroism tracker, and weapon buff/shield absence warnings. The little bars you see on the outer edge of the totem and flame shock trackers are tracking FET's cooldown and the shock cooldown, respectively.

Great work Endus. Will definitly check this out =)

I also found this one here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cDF5Qz_NC54
The sounds are interesting and the timers about how much time is left to apply a earthshock before you get in trouble with flame shock.

I'm still using Bone's Epic PowerAuras, very simple, easy to track cds.Link:

SaminS i would like to get the text document posted thanks

**Zykenwolf** · 2012-02-23, 06:03 AM

Endus, those aura's are simply fantastic. Any idea when your ganna put them up? =)

**Endus** · 2012-02-23, 06:19 AM

Probably this weekend. They worked just fine in my runs this week, there's just a few tweaks I want to make to a couple things for visibility's sake.

As with my older PowerAuras-based ones, I'll set 'em up as a complete package rather than just imports.

**Zilzs** · 2012-02-23, 07:17 AM

Where would u post your new aura set ?

**Endus** · 2012-02-25, 06:13 AM

And just as an update, my new WeakAuras aura package is up and ready for download. Here's the main thread here.
