    Total absorb amount addon

    Are there any decent addons that show the total amount of absorbs currently on you? I tried one called "Absorber" and while it does work, it keeps moving around randomly every time I log in, and there's no show/hide options outside of in combat/not in combat. (I'd like to be able to hide it when I'm not in tank spec)

    I think it's possible to do a "total absorb amount" thing in WeakAuras, but I have no idea how, and can't seem to find one that works after a half hour of sifting through Google results.

    Weakauras can do that for you.

    Do you want 1 aura showing you "50k" absorb on you? If it's that, I can give you one aura when I get home (in about 10 minutes).

    I'd want something that shows a number sum of ALL absorbs on me, not just one buff or ability.

    Sorry for the delay, but here it is:

    This will show the amount of Absorb you've on you: http://pastebin.com/hYkLQVLW
    It'll show the amount in small numbers (like instead of showing you 500,000, it'll show 500k).

    I can't get it to show anything.

    It was set to load only in Pet Battles, and only if you're a Shadow Priest....what's up with that? I changed it to match myself obviously, but it still doesn't show anything when I've got absorbs on me.

    Ok, just tested this on my priest and it is working properly. Link: http://pastebin.com/0zy7iZWV

    It's still not showing anything, regardless of whether I'm using Guard or the BoA tank trinket absorb.

    You forgot to define WA_absorption. Probably stored in another weakaura. Need to add it.
    Code:
    function() 
        local WA_absorption = UnitGetTotalAbsorbs("player")
        if not WA_absorption then return "" end
        local absorb = WA_absorption/1000
        if absorb < 1 then return "" end
        return string.format("%i%c",absorb,75)
    end

    Yes, probably that, because I've 3 different auras for that.

    One that gives me the Absorb Amount, one bar that fills with my absorb and one aura that gives me the % of Absorb I've on me.

    Can you use this one: http://pastebin.com/yRw3XUEJ

    I tried myself with only this aura on my Monk and Guard and that trinket also counts towards the Counter.
