WeakAuras 2
Last Updated: Feb 26, 2019 Game Version: 8.1.0
WeakAuras 2
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.
- SharedMedia for more bar 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.

Posted Feb 3, 2019I don't know if its possible but it would be nice to make a trigger base on the click of an ability. For example, I would like to show the remaining cooldown in the middle of the screen when i try to use an ability that is in cooldown.

Posted Jan 31, 2019Hello.
Love your addon, but there is a small problem which I've just begun dealing with today.
This problem, is with making an aura, and having this aura set for power, namely Holy Power.
I have an aura set to light up a button when I cap out at 5 Holy Power, yet this aura only works sometimes.
I've sat on a target dummy now for nearly an hour and a half fooling with it..but it just works on and off whenever it wants.
One-time I'll start combat with Wake of Ashes, and immediately generate 5 Holy Power and it will work properly..
Then sitting and beating on this target for a good 30 seconds for Wake to come up again, the very next time I generate 5 HP, it will not activate.
It also does this on and off just generically generating 5 Holy Power without Wake, but it is with Wake it happens most frequently.
It seems to be some issue with immediately going from zero Holy Power to five in a single attack that it just doesn't register.
Thank you for the read, and I hope this issue can be addressed.

Posted Jan 31, 2019Hello!
There is a wish to improve WeakAuras.
Please make it possible to create a folder in a folder.
to create subcatalogs.
I just have a lot of folders in the game and
I would like to be able to combine them into groups.
For example, the group "Uldir" in which there will be all the Boss folders.

Posted Jan 28, 2019Weird behavior in 2.11.1. When duplicate an icon WA, the new one would show default blizzard icon instead of skinned icon, and the text won't show. It requires a /reload for the new one to work correctly.
Has to roll back to 2.11.0.

Posted Jan 27, 2019I display my debuffs via progress bars, and display the dots icon.
The Icon recently got a different white-ish border, not the bar though.
Is this intended?

Posted Jan 11, 2019I have a small bar in the middle of my screen blocking the view of my character. I had to troubleshoot to figure out what was causing this, and after disabling each addon I have one by one - I found that it was WA2.
I have tried to tweak around and figure out how to get rid of it on my own, however, I am stumped. Will you please advise as to how to get rid of this bar (see image - it's the bar that says "Death's Dance"). It's driving me nuts when trying to raid!
