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

Just use two separate groups and stick them together like it's done in the initial config.
I'll give it a try, thank you for the quick answer!
Cheers!
Yap, it works! Thank you!
does it need an update? all mine stopped working and having trouble setting whitelist debuffs back up
Was still working fine for me when I checked this week.
Do you have an addon like https://mods.curse.com/addons/wow/bugsack installed, that would report you any errors happening?
two questions.can the bars be made to go up instead of down and can i make a group to show my debuffs?
Yes to both, you can set the group to stack atop the anchor point instead of going down and you already have a group showing debuffs on your character.
If you want to track debuffs cast by you though, that's not possible as the groups track by target and not by caster.
got it ty!
I need Elkano's Target BuffBars! :)
Did you try setting a groups target to TARGET? :P
Been using EBB since well i really cant remember tbh as its always been part of my UI. However i cant remember not being able to cancel buffs. I stopped playing mid Cata, and missed panda and came back for WOD. Since then it seems ive never needed to cancel buffs up until now, I've only just noticed recently with the spam of Halloween wands and farming karazhan at the chess event not being able to cancel the playing chess piece buff. Its a dam shame, as its by far the best buffbar mod still out there. I remember upgraded from CT mod all them years ago! Do you have any plans on updating this in the near future? As it would be a shame to have to move back to the default buff bars again just for accessibility just to remove silly buffs mid combat =(
In order to be able to cancel buffs in combat, you need secure action buttons, which in turn can't be relocated in combat. As a result, as sad as it is, EBB isn't able to cancel in fight since Cataclysm.
There is a way to create a buff display capable of in fight canceling, however you'll have limited sorting and filtering capabilities.
I do have an EBB v3 code base on my disk that does support this kind of groups since at least MoP (and other stuff like raid buffs that have been removed in Legion or a transition to Ace3 that now also happend for the v2 code base :/ ) but I never finished turning it into a full addon (stuff like e.g. options are missing). And due to working full-time by now, I don't know if/when I'll finish working on it.
If it's only a single buff you intend to cancel in fight, you can still use a simple macro to do so-
Is there a way for the min/max time filter to use the current time left instead of the max buff duration? i.e. for moving a buff from a group of "long" buffs to a group of "short" buffs when its time starts running out.
And what about hiding the default blizzard (de)buffs on target frame, in addition to the current option for your own (de)buffs?
Just some minor issues, love the addon.
In simple terms, EBB updates the groups only in response to UNIT_AURA events using static aura data, i.e. values that aren't dependent on time.
Since no such event fires at a given time left value, adding support for this would require some larger code reworks; not likely to happen anytime soon.
Hiding the auras on unit frames is something I haven't looked into so far since I'm not using the default frames.
I see, thanks for the response and the addon.
Is there anyway to display the debuffs of main tanks? currently (as a healer) i have it set up to look at the debuffs of focus and target, but i keep unclicking the target. i am a raid lead and often pug so i want to see if tanks are taunting correctly. is this possible? ty
Besides the focus trick you already figured out, there's currently no explicit support for this.
dang, ok. Thanks for such a prompt response! your addon is amazing i've been using it for a long time and know that someone in the world has so much appreciation for you keeping it up
Any way to skin the icons with Masque? Would love for it to match the rest of my UI.
There is no explicit support on my end, e.g. any code, so I don't think so.
And since I don't use Masque myself, I doubt that will change any time soon.
