Elkano's BuffBars
EBB provides groups of statusbar style indicators to show (de)buffs currently affecting your char or some other units (currently focus, pet and target). For the player, it can also show indicators for temporary enchants place on it's weapons.
Due to changes Blizzard made with WoW 4.x it's no longer possible to cancel buffs without the use of secure frames. Currently EBB limits canceling of buffs to out-of-fight since using SecureAuraHeader would have required a major code restructuring. This will be coming in a later version.
Version 2.x is a total recode based on the Ace2 framework which became necessary in order to support some of the longtime wanted and suggested features. It's now possible to show different groups of bars which can be configured in many ways. Each group can be assigned an individual look and filter settings. EBB can be configured via a dropdown menu which is accessible via chat (/ebb config), FuBar plugin or (for the group settings) by right clicking the groups anchor. After setting up a group, its anchor can be hidden by alt-left clicking a bar or the anchor itself in order to lock the group in place.
In order to get additional bar textures and fonts for EBB simply install SharedMedia which is available for download under http://wow.curse.com/downloads/wow-addons/details/sharedmedia.aspx

Posted Dec 20, 2013I have recently noticed that the EBB minimap icon overwrites the standard minimap "search" button (the one that allows you to display flightmasters/mailboxes/repair vendors/etc). Is there something that I am doing wrong with regards to this? With EBB disabled, I can see the "search" button. With EBB, I no longer get the "search" button.

Posted Dec 21, 2013That's actually a feature of EBB from the time when you could only have a single type of tracking enabled.
Your default buff group shows a "tracking" buff that provides the same functionality as the button on the minimap did and thus this button is being hidden by default. You can however disable this hiding in EBB's options.

Posted Dec 11, 2013Yea it shows normally in the Blizz display... as do all my other procs. I't didn't appear in the Elkano list until the first time it procced but has ever since. Still even though its selected in the list it wont display when it proc's, dispite Elkano's working with my trinkett proc's fine.

Posted Dec 11, 2013The filter list only shows spells that are currently active in any filter or have been seen this session, that's why it only showed up in the list after the first proc.
As for why it's not showing up, I can only guess that something isn't configured correctly, yet.

Posted Nov 27, 2013The point of "is there update for 5.4" is more like "is there people maintain this addon or not".

Posted Oct 21, 2013I've used EBB for a long time and simply love it. One suggestion can you please port it finally over to ACE3. Because I have to have ACE2 installed just for this one. I tend to install needed libraries for addons. Instead of have x number of the same library for required addons. The only addons I had that used ACE2 were BigBrother and EBB. I eventually uninstalled BigBrother. simply because it wasn't as useful for myself. While EBB still provides exactly what I need. I know you could say just install the regular version, not the no lib one. But I hope you just update it to using ACE3. So no need to have a extra development framework loading. Regardless if its installed seperately or included. Thanks and thank you for a great addon.

Posted Oct 12, 2013Hi,
I've been trying to wrap my head around how to make the buffbars show only one timeless buff: Presence of Mind, since its a dispellable/spellstealable timeless buff that matters (mount, auras etc dont matter in pvp).
If I was to whitelist I would have to mark all self cast spells in the game plus Presence of Mind.
If I was to blacklist I would have to mark all timeless buffs except Presence of Mind.
I even tried overriding Presence of Mind to be a debuff and whitelist only Presence of Mind but Presence of Mind wouldnt show up when I hovered over debuff whitelist so I couldnt mark it.
What to do?

Posted Oct 12, 2013- set both groups to grow upwards
- move the upper group (the one that will be changing position), release it so its anchor is sitting just at the end of the other group
then it should snap on release and stick to the other group
There is no visual indication or snap during movement though :(
if this fails, changing the saved variables with an editor should work, too *hides*

Posted Oct 11, 2013Hi,
thank you very much for this addon. I'm using it meanwhile for ages.
I have a question and i wasn't able to find an answer anywhere else. How can i stick different buff groups together? On some on my groups it's working on others it doesn't. What i want to have is some groups one over another and growing upwards if there are some buffs. e.g one procc group and over it a healing group. But i won't get it done that both grow up without being within each other.
Thank you for your help

Posted Oct 1, 2013Hi,
I use your bars to tank with and I use the filters to filter out all of the debuffs except the ones that require a tank swap. I noticed that the first time you do an encounter the debuff you want isn't in the filter list. Is it possible to manually add the debuff or something or do you have to have at least one encounter before elkano will pick up on it?
Also, is there anyway to hide the anchors and only show them when you're in combat?
Thanks.
