WeakAuras is a powerful and flexible framework that allows you to display highly customizable graphics on your screen to indicate buffs, debuffs, and a whole host of similar types of information. It was originally meant to be a lightweight replacement for Power Auras, but it now incorporates many features that Power Auras does not, while still remaining more efficient and easy to use.

Features include:

An intuitive and powerful configuration interface
Custom textures including all textures from Power Auras and the new Cataclysm 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

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

Extending WeakAuras 2

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.

For in-depth documentation, see the wiki page.

For some examples of what WeakAuras can do, take a look at wago.io where tons of people upload their creations and even feature complete interfaces utilizing WeakAuras!

Unable to share or receive weakauras from other people via chat as of 5.4.7. Assuming it's because of some change that was made, but is there an update in the works?

Thanks

I have the same problem. The auras still appear in WeakAurasOptions.lua, but are not shown ingame.

Hello,

Having trouble getting WeakAuras 2 to recognize that "Jade Serpent Statue" is active for my mistweaver. I have a status trigger, totem type. I check totem name and enter "Jade Serpent Statue" which is recognized and changed to "Summon Jade Serpent Statue". But whether normal or reversed, creating the statue does NOT affect the trigger - it is not seen. There is no buff like the ox statue has, so I cannot take the same approach that brewmasters do. Any help will be appreciated!

Hi, I'm trying to make a simple health bar for my character, however I'm running into an issue. The bar will only display once I target something. Can you offer any advice? Code:

For some reason the menu suddenly bugged for me. Whenever i open it, it only shows the top bar of the menu,but not the whole window. I can't make anything new or even delete my existing auras. reloading/relogging doesn't work and i've even tried to reinstall the addon, but its no use. Anyone know how to fix this?

Having issues with tracking Dancing Steel. I have about 15 strings that pretty much do the same thing (Stormstrike, Shuffle, etc) but Dancing steel will not show up. I used /t and /p on the display tab w/o success.

At first i would like to thank you for this great addon!

Could you please implement an aura load condition for thirten bosses?

This would save me a lot of CPU Usage. All the debuff auras I created are always in the "loaded" list. My idea is to load them only when a thirten boss is present (mouseover or something to trigger) . Weak Aura takes nearly half of my whole addon cpu usage, so i want to reduce the number of loaded auras in fight.

Thanks in advance.

I have a suggestion/idea (please, someone let me know if it's already in game)

I was thinking the other day how good it would be to have a 'Sticky Note' addon that you could have on you screen with info about something (i.e. Boss fight mechanincs- I'm always having to write down what direction I have to run in the Jade temple on Garrosh, my orb order on Norushen, etc).

I noticed there was a 'Load on Zone' option, and I was wondering if there was a way to include, say, the boss rooms as zones- I typed in one, but sadly, nothing came up.

Thanks for taking the time to read this :D

Great addon!

Is it possible to track procs, which are not a buff/debuff?

For example: I'd like to see a texture of a whirlwind when my Windfury Procs on my target. I can't seem to get this right...

Thnx in advance

I've been having a problem with aura for Unholy rune for my DK. It often fails to trigger/update throughout the combat. Sometimes when I get fully restored unholy rune, the icon pops up, but may still linger for a couple fo seconds or even stay up even after I've used the unholy rune in question. Any tip as to why it may be happening? Here's the strings I use:

i've noticed that this addon has a export to lua table but the results hardly make a group look like it could used as a stand alone app. what is the lua table data really for? will it be possible in the future to export as lua string that can be used as a stand alone addon without any additonal dependancies. would be very usfull when trying to cut down on any unneeded addons during raids to spare lag.

When I log on, I get messages like this-

WeakAuras detected desynchronization in saved variables: Name of auras thinks it controls Name of aura but it does not.

After these messages, my auras are gone. Any reason why?

I use some inverted debuf auras, as there are encounters where you want to now when you DON'T have a debuff (like "Weakened Resolve" form heroic Sha of Pride).

The problem is that these auras are loaded (and maybe even triggered, depending on your load and trigger options) even when you are not in that particular encounter (in the open world, on other encounters, inside stormwing...).

Is it possible to load auras based on which raid encounter you are in?

If not, the new "ENCOUNTER_START" and "ENCOUNTER_END" combat log events introduced by Blizzard in path 5.4.2 may be a nice way for loading auras based on encounter.

A new drop-down menu in the "load" tab, with the boss encounters, will be awesome.
