[General] Mage Weak Auras

Recommended Posts

Since there isn't much discussion about Weak Auras in the Mage forum, and it's such a powerful and useful addon, i figured i'd start a thread about it by sharing mine.

 

Because i like my ui's to be as clean as possible, i decided to have a very small area at the center of the screen that displays everything i need to execute my rotations correctly.

 

This is what my Weak Auras look like when playing Frost:

And for Arcane:

All the important cd's and procs (except the meta gem and cloak procs because i don't have them yet >.>) are at the left of the screen.

At the top i keep the timers on my Runes when i play Arcane.

The disk at the center is a timer on the duration of my Mage Bomb on my target for Living Bomb and Nether Tempest, and a cooldown timer for Frost Bomb. The small circle around is is the GCD (which starts full and becomes black just like the bomb one).

The smaller disk on the left is either my Fingers of Frost or Arcane Missiles procs, with a stack counter on top.
The disk on the right is my Brain Freeze procs or my Arcane Charge stack counts. All of these are progress textures, so they empty as the proc timer goes down.

 

I also monitor my Invoker's Energy or Rune of Power through a flashy 3d model, as well as my cooldown on Frozen Orb (which i forgot to screenshot). This is what happens when i have 3 or less seconds left on Invoker's Energy:

And when Invoker's or Rune of Power aren't up:

Finally, i have extra textures for my 2t16, as well as for when my target is frozen:

I also have Fire auras set up, but i don't play fire right now so they are pretty unused. It's essentially identical, only on the right i put Heating Up, and on the left Hot Streak.

 

Here's a pastebin to the whole thing: http://pastebin.com/H7REikAx

 

I take no credit at all for these auras. I copied the proc layout from Kait's UI (http://www.wowinterface.com/downloads/info22309-KaitRestov2.html#info) and the Rune timers from Youtube:

Tried to import this but it did not work in WA2

 

You must be doing something wrong, all these are made in WA2.

I went to the pastebin link, copied the whole thing and attempted to import it. I get an error saying

 

WeakAuras

Error deserializing

... \AddOns\Ace3\AceSerializer-

3.0\AceSerializer-3.0.lua:223: Invalid

AceSerializer table format (no table end marker)

 

edit: Googled the issue and it seems like the error might be on your end? Is it possible to try to upload the string to a new pastebin? I just recently updated my WA2 a few days ago.

Could anybody provide me with a weakaura for KTT/PBoI/META that displays the ICD remaining on PBoI?  I have always been more on a TellMeWhen type of guy, but am going to test out WA.

I'm really interested in this as I'm quite minimalistic and the current ones are just too messy, But it does not work and it seems the reason is WA2 cannot understand script past a certain length no matter how correct it may be, I found someone else who had a similar problem and they split it up : http://www.sacredduty.net/2012/10/23/tankadin-weakauras-strings-5-0-5/

So the best way to make this work I'd say would be to split up the different specs Frost - Arcane  .. So on, Separate import code for each.

Thanks! Looking forwards to using this. : ]

* You could also try uploading your addon and the saved data for it so we don't have to import, Not sure if you can though.

If you are interested in some more mage-specific WA strings, you should visit Altered-time.com.  They have a really big thread specifically for people to share the WA they use.  I found a lot of good ones there.

I looked, Can't see anything in particular that I'm interested in, This particular one is what I'm looking for so keen on being able to use it.
  Pity you can't add it manually.

The time to death aura is amazing

 

Seriously, this was the best one I found! It's been SO useful when planning my second Icy Veins/Alter Time use in a fight.

The weakaura he refers to in the youtube video you linked is flawed and unnecessarily complicated.

 

Your runes operate as shaman totems in the same way Warriors skull and demo banners do

 

Add the following trigger: Status -> Totem -> Earth

For the next rune, use Fire totem.

Would be nice if the Original Poster would check the replies sometime, Especially since the WeakAura import code he's put in does not work for anyone.

Holy crap i had no idea this thread would actually be alive. I haven't been paying attention to IV in forever since im taking a break from raiding until WoD, sorry about that. Glad to see Berlinia took care of stuff.

@Shedim: oh, thanks. I didn't create that aura, nice to know there's an easier way to do stuff.

Hello!

 

I have played a frost mage pretty much exclusively forevers. It's my favorite and I will continue to play it. However, after raiding 2x per week since MoP, I am interested in learning a new thing. Why not fire! Yes, I will need to get a new outfit to match this spec, but that's another thread.... 

 

Anywho!

 

I am working hard to get my fancy fire mage rotation down. The whole heating up, pyroblast!, and combustion tips and tricks listed on this website are awesome. It's just going to take me more practice. I was hoping someone could help me develop weak auras so I can start "getting it right" with my rotation and putting it more to muscle memory.

 

Anyone have something like that?

I would like to see if there is an aura that will help prompt me to do some of the things found here. Here are some of the things I'm fumbling with:

 

IGNITE & COMBUSTION

 

1. Always remembering to keep Ignite refreshed

  • Highlighting the fireball icon that reminds to filler cast w/ fireball at the target? Or inferno blast if it is off cool down? Does that seem accurate for the majority of situations?

 

2. Cast combustion with a high ignite. 

  • This one feels trickier based on the options to create a situation w/ high ignite, so need ideas on best way for WA to prompt me here.

PYROBLAST & HEATING UP

 

3. Utilize the Heating Up & Pyroblast buffs for maximum damage

  • This one is by far the one I'm struggling the most with right now. I'm at the stabbing buttons part hoping I get it right, but I feel like having a WA that guides me a little more in the moment will help me get the hang of it. 

 

Looking for feedback, input, and instruction on the best way to go about it in general as I try to wrap my head around fiery awesome. My frost mage rotation, with all its nuances, is so absolutely committed to memory that this feels like learning a new skill. smile.png

      Welcome Adventurers! The time has come upon us, FINALLY! The moment in Classic WoW history us diehard, loyal WoW nerds have all been waiting for. WRATH CLASSIC! Arthas Did Nothing Wrong (ADNW) has just begun recruiting (For WotLK Classic) hard-core, casual, rp, pvp, pve, raiders, anything you can think of, you are welcomed here. Although our main focus in ADNW will be progressive raiding, 10 and 25 man and pvp content, we look to have someone for just about anything. Currently we are recruiting for our CORE 10M team composed entirely of irl / internet homies. We are in need of just 1 HEALER (Highly prefer a disc priest with a shadow off spec) and another DPS. Preferably lock or Shadow priest. We are looking to fill our B 10m team entirely, so we can pool together for 25 man’s when it comes time to crush 25m. This guild was founded by a group of tight nit friends recently, who have been around since TBC. WOTLK was our turning point in WoW, and we CANNOT wait to get another crack at this and MAKE IT RIGHT. Come join the adventure of a chill environment full of helpful hands and knowledge. Feel free to reach out to me Via Discord: Daevilmonkiexp#9239 OR Bnet: Daevilmonkie#1280 just let me know you are interested in the guild and we can have a convo! ARTHAS DID NOTHING WRONG!

      <Insanity> are looking for new inmates to expand our asylum...
      Region : EU
      Server : Mirage Raceway
      Faction : Horde
      Raid Times
      Tuesday 19:30 to 23:00 Realm Time
      Thursday 19:30 to 23:00 Realm Time
      Approach to Raiding
      We have a relaxed and chilled approach to raiding, but still expect people to make an effort.
      As long as you don't show up freshly dinged in levelling greens, and make an effort to improve your gear and skills and show up to raids,
      that is all we expect. We are here to enjoy ourselves, not push logs.
      About us
      We are a chilled community who enjoys hanging out in discord while playing the game.
      Karazhan is on farm, we are now looking to bolster our ranks to create a solid reliable 25 man raid team moving forward.
      What We Offer
      A mature environment for levelling and group play
      Progressive but relaxed end game experience
      A fun, helpful and inclusive atmosphere
      What We Expect
      People willing to help build and grow a serious, successful and fun TBC raiding guild. We don’t care about your spec, everyone is welcome. While we are a casual guild, we still expect people to make an effort. Showing up freshly dinged in levelling greens won’t make the raiding experience fun for anyone.
      Our Aims
      Our aims are to clear all the raid content in tbc in a relaxed and fun way. We were close to 25 raiders at 70 and ready to start raiding, but a lot of people quit the game and we are in need of new recruits for our 25-man raid teams. Anyone just interested in chilling in discord and to get to know new people are also welcome.
      Recruitment Status
      Tanks : medium
      Healers : high
      Ranged DPS : high
      Melee DPS : high

      You read that correctly, one of the most iconic and long-standing guilds within the realms of Quel’Thalas and Azjol’Nerub is looking for new players to bolster its Mythic ranks.
      Tell me more, tell me more!
      Scion is a longstanding World of Warcraft guild consisting of both social and raiding players. We are a group of friendly people that are open for any player who is looking to improve his or her performance in the game while having an enjoyable stay. 
      Did you get very far?
      Our guild is currently progressing through the Mythic version of Shadowlands. We aim to get as much progress as possible before rushing into the new raiding content.
      Enough Grease. Time for some raiding information.
      We currently raid on Wednesdays and Sundays from 8PM-11PM server time with a raiding team that is constantly evolving into a strong example of leadership and teamwork. If you are looking to be part of this experience we are definitely looking for you!
      What are the requirements?
      Preferably, you already have experience with Mythic raiding and obviously with raiding itself. The core requirement of Scion is that you are a well-organized player who can tend to the needs of a Mythic raiding team. Those needs consist of hard work, being self-critical and have a determined slash patient mindset.
      What’s in it for me?
      The guild offers you an enjoyable and memorable time within the World of Warcraft. We are friendly bunch of social talkers who take joy out of a little banter from time to time. However, we strive to be as professional and hard-working as possible during raid hours and any time it takes to prepare for the challenge that raiding offers. Obviously, we look to provide assistance within this preparation by supplying resources and valuable information.
      You won me over. I’m in it, to win it. Ha-ha.
      That’s great! We are always eager to get in touch with curious and interested possible new recruits. Please contact one of the officers or guild master by adding either one of the following people: Beasted#2936
