Simple Auras

Buff, debuff, cooldown and reminder tracking for WoW Forever that you set up in under a minute. No code, no trigger logic: pick what to watch, pick when to show it, save, drag it into place.

WoW Forever carries over Midnight's addon restrictions, which hide buff timers and most cooldowns from addons during combat. Simple Auras is built around that: combat values go straight into the game's own display widgets, so icons and bars keep working in a fight where older aura addons go blank.

What it tracks

• Buffs and debuffs on you, your target, your focus or your pet, as an icon, a bar or plain text, with the time left and stack count. One tracker can watch several spells (any of your stuns, say).
• Cooldowns for any spell, item or trinket slot, with charges. Optionally a sound and a glow when it's ready.
• Timers after a cast: "show a 10-second bar after I cast Gouge". These work in combat, sound included.
• Totems, one per element slot.
• Reminders: missing poison or weapon imbue (with a warning a few minutes before it runs out), a missing buff, no pet out, or running low on an item such as Flash Powder or Soul Shards. They warn out of combat and as a fight starts.

Setting it up

• First login: "Set up rogue trackers?" → tick the ones you want → Done. Starter presets for all nine classes.
• Add a tracker: /sa → Add → pick what to watch → pick the spell (search by name, or type a spell or item ID) → pick when to show it → Save, then drag it where you want it.
• Change anything from the tracker's page: Show, Rules, Look, Text, Motion and Alert tabs.

Options

• Look: icon, bar or text only; size, length, thickness, opacity, colour; reverse or fill the bar; glow.
• Text: font (including LibSharedMedia fonts), outline, sizes and where the numbers sit; hide the sweep or give it a bright edge; your own icon picture.
• Motion: grow, fade, flash or bounce in; pulse, blink or bob while it's up or ready.
• Rules: in or out of combat; solo, group, raid or dungeon; stance or form; mounted; level range; zones; only if you know a spell or talent.
• Alerts: built-in sounds, LibSharedMedia sounds or your own sound file, a flash, and a message in the middle of the screen.
• Groups: arrange trackers in rows or columns, or place any one on its own.
• Profiles: share one setup between characters or give a character its own.
• Sharing: link a tracker in chat and anyone with Simple Auras can click to copy it, or swap a code.

How to use

• /sa opens setup. /sa unlock and /sa lock to move things, /sa reset to bring them back to the middle of the screen, /sa minimap to hide or show the minimap button.
• The minimap button: left-click for setup, right-click to unlock or lock.

What it can't do

Forever's restrictions rule out some WeakAuras features for every addon: custom code, conditions on health, resources or time left during combat, an alert at the moment a buff ends, and combat-log triggers.

Notes

WoW Forever is in beta, and so is Simple Auras. If something doesn't work, or you hit an error, please leave a comment with what you were tracking.
