WeakAuras

WeakAuras is a powerful and flexible framework that allows you to display highly customizable graphics on your screen to indicate buffs, debuffs, and a whole host of similar types of information. It was originally meant to be a lightweight replacement for Power Auras, but it now incorporates many features that Power Auras does not, while still remaining more efficient and easy to use.

Features include:

An intuitive and powerful configuration interface
Custom textures including all textures from Power Auras and the new Cataclysm spell alerts
Progress bars and textures that show the exact duration of auras
Displays based on auras, health, power (mana, rage, soul shards, holy power, etc.), cooldowns, combat events, runes, totems, items, and many other triggers
Preset and user-defined animations
Custom side-effects such as chat announcements or sounds
Grouping, which allows multiple displays to be positioned and configured at the same time
CPU optimizations such as conditional loading/unloading of displays, modularity, and prevention of full aura scanning
Powerful customization options, such as animation paths, on-show/on-hide code, and custom triggers, for Lua-savvy users

To open the options window, type "/wa" or "/weakauras"

Note: WeakAuras works better with more media!

SharedMedia for more bar textures.
SharedMediaAdditionalFonts for more fonts.

For in-depth documentation, see the Usage page.

I've been using a vengeance bar addon on my tanks to keep track on how high my vengeance gets. All it does is increase the bar display and the text as my vengeance rises. I'd like to duplicate it in WeakAuras instead of having a seperate addon for it.

I can get the progress bar to display my vengeance size with the bar text just fine however the bar graphic itself will only display the time remaining on the vengeance buff. As in, the bar depletes as the vengeance buff wears off. I would like the bar to increase in size as my vengeance goes up but cannot figure out how.

What I'm using for settings: Trigger: Type -> Aura Use Full Scan (High CPU) Aura Name -> is exactly -> Vengeance Use tooltip "size" instead of stacks

My string if you want to take a look: dau8eaqjrvmkkI6uue5wkj7cK0WeXXG0Ye0Za10uPRPQ2MkY3iOXrOZPK6EIk6GuuwibEifPjkQuxeKQnsu9rQQsJuuLoPs0lPimtqk7uHFkQKLsvv1tjnvv5QIkSvLqFLQQYCfv1Er)vKgmfvhMslgepgIjtHllzZIYNfy0uvoTIEnvrZwPUTkSBO(nWWjkhNQQy5u55cnDPUor2UsW3PknEqIZRIA9uvz)ufMO8rDsDjUlxMfPYFjcahZxLv7DQ6ZAa8MMdSpW(SCxH97m1ivuOEHQqOUM6bvdQg8rn2wepJ60VId0eQqaoJYzkydC8XbkhjCeYrchWCKWXLdu2uTi9eGJ8rn2wxZhvdqAWg4LqOgSbEtZC2JI6sa2mKEcWcK6gGffPgSbEtTi9eGPg9b8YMA2epJ(4JQbinyd8siud2aVPzo7rrDjaBgspbybsDdWIIud2aVPwKEcWu9nnk2SPkfRhaS7PmcHQfppS9eG5JASTUMpQYCvSAQrztNDZMn12ndckhFuX2JkfiRC2g4OMZCsfrk2GJuFtJIAppkdQs4AHc3uTsnGQuSsX2JIcOgLGGaKWnfqfBpkQlw4GYIrkQsXkvcpBkGk2Eur(4aL6IfoOSyKIn1mP9oIyXuaBQqSotbBGJpoqP8tIIcf)IHF4tH)7PlZw9H5iKYff(xV(gkMCpHMiEfz2Q)joGPCry4tjcVNsUWIcfEVmB1)ZMQXmkBBp)kO0qRYAQ5b7H5MCEIMe1nWAWhvPyLISTXifq1b2fFupK29Kp2SPkfR02UlCtiuLIvAuwHqbuJYke(OgN4GDXbk1dPDp5JdykGJqkGnBQiBBmYh14ehSlQ5g6M9YRjgl938(OEiT7jFu9pZ8FOLltnbfWMn12UlCZbkmBQDbLwN(vCGMqfIfXtdhqMPGnWXhhOuUi66RqXFyYfgfgwimZw9H5iKYffgEpfMC)3)6WW)NzR(WCC5iHnviaNr5OaQqaoJYbDJGIQzopxIxOWnWD2dZv)rY6kpmpKQRcMa87SSIQvYzHyDuJTfXZiHqDIaWPXPrrfAqx(JAxqPLCfv9aaAFEy(cHu75r50PFfhOjuHyr8mWbKWgMc2ahFCGs5)1Wx0)vmbgne(kuKzR(FocP8)A4l6)kMaJgcFfkYSv)phWu(Fn8f9FftGrdHVcfz2Q)NJlhOSPonOUyHdklgP8W8CBcQENgTpocH)uHaCgLlxzzXQ54sflD8CZGGYf5aLnvlFuxSWbLfJuuxI7YLzrQ8xIaWX8vz1ENQ(SgaVP5a7dSpl3vy)oZM6cCGEtsytca

hey, can you add DK runes from this addon: Beta continued (not updated) http://www.wowinterface.com/downloads/fileinfo.php?id=18803 original http://www.wowinterface.com/downloads/fileinfo.php?id=18564#info

they also have a good druid balance tracker. the author doesn't have time, i bet he'd let you use the images.

text auras still don't save properly after i create one, i use sliders to adjust position and then /reload after i reload it. the text aura moves to the right like a half of a inch.

also i have a request if you guys have time. i'd like animation options like power auras, i really need Sping clock wise / counter clock wise and speeds. i need the effects for the animations like power auras so i can quit using power auras. i can show you guys exactly what i'm talking about if you want i'll upload a video explaining it.

i know there is a few features but last time i checked its not as exact as power auras animations.

hey can one of you create a video on how to do death knight runes? for example i'm thinking Icon progressive texture with a Omnicc timer on it and then like a Death Rune per tree that it can turn into like this addon http://www.wowinterface.com/downloads/info18803-PowerBarsBETA.html#info

i did a little testing and death runes 1,2 didn't show up. i didn't go in depth with testing it but yeah. i'd like to replace power bars with weak auras so i don't have to wait for an author to update it i can just update weak auras.

Made some aura's for my monk & paladin, currently adding some for my warlock but the list is getting pretty big, too big for comfort.

It would be nice to have a way to organize the auras. For ex: by class/spec, or a more generic way with an option to create groups within groups and maybe even have some light options on these group preventing them to popup when i wish to (temporary) disable a group.

And before i forget: maybe i'm not getting it... but an easier option to get icons for the spell would be very welcome.

I'm having problems with progress time (%p) showing consistently. Most abilities show fine, but Web Wrap from my shale spider does not display the time and is replaced with "?". Please help.

@Gragagrogog: Go

Yeah, but it only happens during a boss fight, reg questing or during pvp combat 3d textures stay solid until used. Thats why i think it might be a bug.
