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 Oct 15, 2014I LOVE the update you did for 6.0! At first the profile that loaded on my Druid was the Default and not the one specifically meant for my RDruid (didn't realize it right away) so I went to right click the icon on the minimap to check out some of the settings. A configuration window pops up in the middle of my screen instead of the original menus! I'm SO glad you put in this new setup rather than keeping the other style that relied too much on mouseover popout menus! I had such a craptastic time trying to get some of those windows to work and scrolling through 150 buffs to filter out one new one was a pain in the rear.
Thank you so much for keeping this up to date and adding a quality of life change to the options configuration!

Posted Oct 15, 2014I love your addon but I'm too scared to update from version r167 (yes, 167 - not 176) that I'm still using.. without any significant problems.
I'm afraid to lose my settings.

Posted Oct 15, 2014Fixed TimeScale:
Have you thought of giving a bar group an uniform fixed time scale and only displaying the last x seconds as a decreasing bar. I find that visually more helpful than a bar with 3s of 6s left being longer than a bar with 25s of 240s.

Posted Aug 22, 2014Hi Elkano,
Thanks for this great mod - have been using it in my UI for years! I was just wondering if you had intentions to have this updated for WoD?
Thanks again!

Posted Aug 22, 2014Since I'm using it myself, I intend to keep EBB 2 working with WoD.
Regarding EBB 3, not much to tell... lazy as ever :/ (SecureHeader and raid buffs are working, classic group with filters and sorting still need lots of work... not talking about the whole options UI...)

Posted Aug 17, 2014Is it possible to show Buff icons horizontally? I'm seeing conflicting info on this. I can't find how to do it, but it should be a simple feature.
Ideally I'd like a blizzard-like buff bar for the long term buffs, then a more detailed/larger frame for the shorter ones.

Posted Mar 31, 2014Sadly, being able to cancel in combat isn't compatible with the filters and sorting of EBB.
It requires use of the SecureAuraHeader, that provides only a very limited subset of the filters/sorting.
If you know which buffs you intend to cancel during fight, you can however create makros for that using /cancelaura
