Power Auras

[Style1one]

Ok well though I have yet to start multiboxing but plan on in the near future. I have lurked and read much about it and talkes of proc managment and what not. People asking about how to maxamize things like Moonkin DPS, and other things that are very proc heavy. But I have yet to see anything really talking much about PowerAuras which is a really nice addon to watch buffs, debuffs, procs, mana and hp warnings and anything else that can be put on a target, you, cast by a raid member, cast by your self, total stacks on a target, total stacks cast by you, and so forth.

So I figured I would write up some about the addon for you guys to see if its something you feel usefull for your setups. (Mind you I do not know the creater or anything, I just have found the addon in my wow time to be very usefull)





(This is just a theroretical img and what it could look like and based off a 5xMoonkin team)

The insect swarm img on the screen is total stacks on your targeted mob (all 5 toons casting it, it will show the number 5 in the icon, 4 toons will show 4 and so forth)

The Frarie Fire just shows when its on the target, does not matter if you or someone else cast it. (If you are running multiple druids then only one needs the imp ff for the added hit)

The Moonfire is agin like the Insect Swarm in that it will count the stacks on the target.

To the left there is 5x Eclipse markers up. One for each druid.

There is a silence buff above each eclipse. This would state the druid that is tied to the eclipse below it is silenced and only show in such case.


There is a stun buff below each eclipse. This would state the druid that is tied to the eclipse above it is stuned and only show in such case.


There is a acrance brillance icon, this will show up when the druid has X mana left.

There is a squiggly ! and this is a hp warning. This will only show up when the druid has X hp left.

Each of the icons around or on the eclipse icon are color coded, this is so when eclipse is not proced you are able to tell which toon is effected.

You are also able to set up text with the icons and so forth.
You are able to set up trinket procs.

All those icons and colors are cusomizable to your likeing, from using a custom icon, to the icon of the buff, debuff and so forth. You can have only text also. You are able to set timers on the notifications aswell.


Here are some pictures of settings I used to create the settings used for the ""test ui"".




Shown in this is the moonfire settings I used. I have it set so when targeted (by selecting Enemy Target) the enemy target if it has a debuff, that is cast by anyone that falls into Moonfire. It will show up. (this will not be compleatly acurate in bgs where there are more moonkins that could also cast moonfire so you will also be counting there stacks on the target but with pve encounters if you are 5boxing you then will be able to determine if one of your moonfires have fallen off)


Shown here at the bottem is how to make it show stacks. Mind you, the only thing needed is to check the box labled show stack. But you are able to modify the size, font and such of the stack numbers.



Shown in this, is the eclipse setting. It is a buff in the drop down menu. It is exact name only. Then at the bottem it shows exact name only checked. The box next to it is where you would type the name of the team member you wanted it to watch. This will then show on your screen when that toon procs it.




This shows the hp of the unit once it is 40% or below hp. The exclamation mark will only show at that time. Looking below it is has a check in the same place as eclipse. Name of the toon goes in the box that you want this set for.


So aslong as you can find the info on the buff name, debuff name, proc name and so forth you are able to have it show up when proced, hide when not proced. Or if your brain works in the reverse. You can have them all show when not proced and then hide when they do proc. It is pretty endless in settings.

There is a full wiki of info about the addon located here http://powerauras.wikispaces.com/.

You are able to import and export settings. If any of you would like me to post the export for the ones I have done for the screen shots just post here. If that is the case then you will just have to change each unit name on things like eclipse and what not to your own.

Well I hope that helps ya guys some and that my horid grammer and such does not deter you away from using the addon.

AWESOME.
Where did you get the custom icons ?

[J6mpsikas]

you can make custom art and icons for powa by yourself

[Style1one]

For the custom icons like the int and exclimation mark come with it. There are also some that you can get that are in the game it self.

As for adding your own icons (ie photoshop and such) you are able to make what ever artwork you want for it as if using kgpanels. Fallowing the power of 2 requierments for size and using a .tga.
