WeakAuras Strings

 

The Block on the left of the combo points in this picture is an addon called Bandit's Guile Helper. I have it sized and placed so it balances out with my Blade Flurry Weakaura.

You and I have a pretty similar set of addons, switch ElvUI for Pitbull, WA for TellMeWhen and it nearly becomes my list! The extra two I use are IceHUD for an easier combat view of health and cast bars, and ComboPointsRedux. Mine will be changing drastically to a PvP UI once I hit lvl 100, but the principles of spacing and centering remain the same.

 

Nice post!

For PvP I really try not to use any addons - when I used to do it a couple expansions ago, the rules for Blizzard tournaments were that no addons were allowed. I think that's still the case, but if I ever made it to Blizzcon then I wanted  to be able to play by tournament rules. The only thing you can do is move frames around

 

That being said though, Gladius is a life saver these days :P

Mind to show a SS of your Sub setup? I'm curious about it.

 

And how do you use only ElvUI unitframes? You isolate the LUA files in the whole pack or there's a separate pack for it? I have been using UnitFramesImproved, but it is not aesthetic at all and bugs from time to time...

I'll do one after this weekend Confidor, I'm out of town until Sunday night. I'll update the original post with the Combat WeakAuras and SS for it and Sub when I finish them, but it probably won't be until Monday or Tuesday.

 

For ElvUI I literally just open the menu (/ec) and go through the list unchecking every single part of it. It all has a box labeled "Enabled"; uncheck it and you're golden. There's a bunch of stuff in the general thing as well, such as Minimap and loot rolls that I get rid of as well. Just takes some searching to find it all.

Do you have a screenshot? I might be able to give some insight to it or try and replicate it for you

Thanks for the amazing guide. But how i use the pastebin?

 

The Pastebin documents are strings that you import into Weakauras. Open WeakAuras in game by typing /wa, click New on the left side, then at the bottom there will be an option for Import. Copy all of the text in one of the Pastebin strings and paste it into the Import box, and hit ok a few times. You should see it come up and load for you, where you can play with the positioning and all that kind of stuff

Edit: I got my WA working! Screenshot below

on the left is my ClassTimers setup and it'll track the duration of buffs (you can set classtimer to track the debuffs on your target too... useful for bleeds). 

 

to the left of classtimer you can see my dps cooldowns... these only show when OFF cooldown so that if I'm slow on popping one, I can see it's ready. SnD and RS will also show here incase I forget to refresh right away. 

 

just need to work on something more visible for anticipation and bandit's guile than classtimer. not sure how I'll do that yet. I'd like 4 stacks of anticipation and my red insight to be a bit more visible. it would be nice if I could change the color of the bar on classtimer to be red for that event.

Simplecombopoints for cps and anticipation.

Banditsguilehelper.

I can recommend Needtoknow instead of classtimer as its more flexible yet simple to use

I have weakauras for all those as well, they should be at the bottom of the main post so you can take them and change them as you like.

I've made some small changes to them recently, and I'm planning on updating the post when I get home in a couple days

Thanks for pointing out those strings. After putting those in, I'm really damn happy w/ my UI. Usually I always look at the default CP from SUF - I really like the change. No need for me to switch from classtimers -> needtoknow. Not sure what it is, but I've never liked needtoknow.

edit: carrn- i've noticed w/ the combo points string that when I have anticipation stacks, sometimes the red bars won't all populate, but all the purple anticipation will. does this reproduce for you?

Classtimers give you no customability. Ntk does. Ie. you cant choose the order of your cooldowns with classtimer. Anyhow I wont force anything on you :)

      Hello guys i would like to share my weakauras for each healing class, hope you like it ?
      Any feedback is appreciated
      ____________________________________________________________________________________________________
      New to Weakauras ?
      You can download it here :
      https://mods.curse.com/addons/wow/weakauras-2
      Click the link of the weakaura you want which you can find down below  (Import string) On the wago.io webpage links you can find a copy string button on the right, colored red.
      Like this :  When ingame type /wa to open the control panel of weakaura. Select "import" Paste the string from the wago webpage into this. A screen will pop-up and select the import button on it. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________

      This is an introduction to weak auras for beginners. While the addon has definitely improved, I still find a lot of my casual friends becoming daunted of the addon. So I made this video to help them and others. Please let me know if you have any feedback. :)

      Hello! 
      I'm pretty good with weak auras and even some lua code but i cannot for the life of me figure out how to make this weak aura.
      heres the basic function i want:
      Prototype Personal Decimator - only fires a missile when you are at least 10 yards away.
      I want the icon to show when I am <10 yards ( too close) to my target to remind me to back up. Once i am >=10 yards, i want the icon to hide.
      it sounds simple but i cant figure it out
      can anyone help me figure this out please ? :)

      Hello all.  I usually update my Elvui using the Tukui client.  But for some reason today their webpages are giving me a "page not found" error message.
      Is anyone here using Elvui and if so, are you able to find their webpages?

      I already know how to make a progress bar that will simply track how much time is left on my DoTs on my target and tick down.

      What I want to do is create a progress bar for my DoTs that will track their duration as being out of a fixed number (say, 24 seconds), instead of always updating the maximum of the bar to be whatever the duration of the DoT was when it was last applied.

      Basically this is what I want:  http://imgur.com/ltzKg11
      Please help!
