🧲 Snap what you want, where you want.

New in 1.17: type /wa unlock. The screen darkens under a grid, every aura gets a box: drag it, and it snaps into line.

• Magnetism: screen edges, grid lines, and the edges and centers of your other auras. Two auras in a row set the gap, the third one repeats it. A yellow ghost box shows where the aura will land.
• Ctrl aligns centers only, Shift turns the snap off.
• Placement panel: type the X/Y position and the size, link an aura to another one, set the growth and spacing of a group.
• Right click a box: show it always, in combat or out of combat, or disable it.
• Revert puts everything back. Same snap in Edit Mode, with a resize handle and the arrow keys.

🎮 Your class HUD, ready to play

One click imports a complete set of auras for your class: buffs to keep up, procs, cooldowns, a resource bar and timer bars, already placed on your screen.

Druid · Hunter · Mage · Paladin · Priest · Rogue · Shaman · Warlock · Warrior

🧩 24 utility packs, for every class

On the Packs page (/wa, New Aura, then Packs), each pack installs in one click.

• Combat: Ready Flash, Combat Text, Combat Items, Engineering Items, Shield Meter, Center Mark.
• Group and Buffs: Buff Check, Raid Coverage, Pre-Pull Check, Conjured Supplies, Announcements (battle rez, soulstone and summon told to your group).
• Target and Enemies: Target Debuffs, Nameplate Aggro, Crowd Control, Armor Shred, Enemy Targets.
• Character: Level Progress, Character Stats, Group Experience, Equipment Sets (click an icon to equip the set).
• World: World Reminders, Campfire (click to sit), Guild Campfires, Object Highlight.

Group Experience and Guild Campfires only show the players who also run the pack.

🆕 New in 1.16 and 1.17

1.17

• Placement mode: /wa unlock, or the Unlock button at the top of /wa. Drag every aura on a grid, with magnetism.
• Anchor links: anchor an aura or a group to a side or a corner of another aura or game frame, without moving it.
• Align Selection: select several auras in /wa to align their edges or centers, or spread them with equal gaps.
• New look for the /wa window: dark frame, new font, flat tabs, lighter aura list.
• Mage HUD: the Arcane Blast segments run 18 s from the first cast.

After the update: re-import the Mage pack to get the new Arcane Blast segments.

1.16

• Warrior HUD: Sunder Armor on your target shows 5 segments, whoever cast it.
• Priest HUD: Divine Aegis shows as a buff on you.
• Combat Text pack: hits and heals taken show again in combat.
• Groups by unit: no more holes in centered rows and in Grid mode when a member has no aura or leaves.
• Many fixes in triggers, displays, custom code and options, including a Lua error on enemy nameplates with a raid mark.

After the update: re-import the Warrior and Priest packs. Delete the Combat Text aura, then import it again from the Packs page.

Full list in the Files tab.

🚀 Quick start

1. Install Musca Auras and start the game.
2. On the welcome popup, click Install <your class> HUD. Missed it? Type /wa, click New Aura, then Packs, then Whole HUD. The same page installs one HUD block at a time, and the utility packs.
3. Make it yours: type /wa unlock to drag your auras into place, and /wa to change any aura. New to auras? Click Guide at the top of the /wa window.

Do not install it next to another WeakAuras build. The folder name and the saved settings are the same, on purpose, so your existing auras keep working.

⚡ Why Musca Auras?

WoW Forever looks like Classic, but it runs on the modern game engine. That engine hides most combat data from addons, and the regular WeakAuras breaks. Musca Auras is WeakAuras 5.22.0 ported to WoW Forever (client 1.60.1).

🧰 What you get

• Low health and low resource alerts in combat, for example an icon when you have 80 energy or more.
• Colors that react in combat: interruptible casts, spells out of range, not enough mana or rage, a timer about to run out.
• Damage over time timers from your own casts, with no code to write.
• Type spells by name, in your game language: every rank of the spell is tracked.

🎯 Limits

⚠ Works, with limits

• Buffs and debuffs move in combat only with the Aura (Modern) trigger, used by default for new auras. The classic Aura trigger freezes in combat.
• In combat, conditions only change transparency, color, grey-out, text and the visibility of sub elements.

✖ Does not work

• Combat log triggers never fire: the game forbids the combat log to addons.
• Other players' casts, enemy names and IDs in instances are hidden.

🌐 Auras made elsewhere

• Auras from Wago or the regular WeakAuras import the usual way. Those that rely on the combat log need to be updated.
• Coming from ForeverAuras? Its Aura (Modern) and Cooldown Manager auras import as they are.
• Some removed functions (GetSpellInfo, UnitBuff…) are replaced in custom code, but UnitAura, UnitBuff and UnitDebuff stop in combat on a hidden aura. Auras that call other removed functions need to be updated: the import report tells you which ones.

🔄 Updating from an older version

Install the latest version, then click Update <your class> HUD in the message shown at login, or Whole HUD on the Packs page. Your positions and options are kept.

• Your own auras are kept. 1.12 converts stance and form auras: an older version no longer reads them correctly.
• Skipped a version? Read the changelog of each version you skipped, its After the update steps first.
• Lua errors, or an aura no longer behaves as before? Install the previous version again from the Files tab (before 1.12, your stance and form auras then need to be set again), and report it on Discord, GitHub or CurseForge with the text of the error.
