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.

I 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!

I HATE addon authors putting mini map buttons on....it was such a stupid idea Blizzard did...so I can't find how to turn off the mini map button, how can I do that?
In reply to Bigtwitch100:
My Weak Auras says Modified under status and I when I click it it says it will overwrite any changes. Is it safe to update it or will it delete my auras?
After the battle is over, a graphic artifact appears in the addon menu.

My Dot timer auras aren't working on my Druid after the last update. Rolled back to previous version and everything is working again.

I have a strange phenomenon since 8.1 that my whole screen gets covered in WeakAura-symbols for a short time (1-2s) when i log in.
