WeakAuras

 

WeakAuras is a powerful and flexible framework that allows the display of highly customizable graphics on World of Warcraft's user interface to indicate buffs, debuffs, and other relevant information. This addon was created to be a lightweight replacement for Power Auras but has since introduced more functionalities while remaining efficient and easy to use.

Features

An intuitive and powerful configuration interface

Custom textures including all textures from Power Auras and Blizzard's 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

Quick Start

To open the options window, type /wa or /weakauras into your chat and hit enter or use the minimap icon.

Extensions

WeakAuras Companion: This application adds the missing link between Wago.io and the World of Warcraft addon, enabling you to update your auras in a convenient fashion.

WeakAuras_StopMotion: This addon adds a new region type to WeakAuras that allows for stop motion animations. Stop Motion textures contain each frame of the animation as a separate image. The addon ships with a number of animations and it supports custom textures.

SharedMediaAdditionalFonts for more fonts.

ColorPickerPlus for a better version of the WoW color picker that includes class color templates and a copy and paste function.
