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.

Any Idea how I can fix this ?
In reply to Shaterhand:
You have an outdated aura names "Reloe Receiver" installed. Delete it, fix the code, or find an updated version.
Stuttering every few seconds after the recent update.
lagging my fps after this last update
the same as the comentum below, fps drops when damage is done (I’m a robber, just remove the pack from the raiser) everything gets better right away, but there are still micro dependencies (2 days ago it wasn’t) as soon as the update started to start ... Turn off the addon and everything becomes perfect without hanging and the FPS does not fallIn reply to Inkfi:
rolled back to version 2.11.3and everything was great!Noticable FPS drop when dealing dmg/healing in latest update. Almost like a short lockup on every instance of damage/healing.
Have reverted to previous version and it's fine.
In reply to Nucrus:
with the newest update to spell cooldown tracking, it seems to lag behind. while my spell is clearly off cooldown, its still desatured (through condition tab). sometimes it doenst even update the timer correctly. i'm playing beastmaster and when i barbed-shot, the cooldown of bestial wrath should decrease by 12 seconds. but WA doenst get it instantly (with the newest update 2.11.4).

I have not fully dove into other auras (that might not use 'Status' to see if it is more widespread than that, but 'status' is definitely broken, and probably one of the more used trigger conditions anyway.

Quick question: I have an icon set up for Ignore pain. I would like it to turn all the way off, disappear, when the aura is active and reappear when the buff is not active.
The only setting I can find is to make it "grey" when inactive. Could someone help please?
Thanks
In reply to pookshuman:
I 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.
Hello.
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.

Hello!
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.
