Elkano's BuffBars
EBB provides groups of statusbar style indicators to show (de)buffs currently affecting your char or some other units (currently focus, pet and target). For the player, it can also show indicators for temporary enchants place on it's weapons.
Due to changes Blizzard made with WoW 4.x it's no longer possible to cancel buffs without the use of secure frames. Currently EBB limits canceling of buffs to out-of-fight since using SecureAuraHeader would have required a major code restructuring. This will be coming in a later version.
Version 2.x is a total recode based on the Ace2 framework which became necessary in order to support some of the longtime wanted and suggested features. It's now possible to show different groups of bars which can be configured in many ways. Each group can be assigned an individual look and filter settings. EBB can be configured via a dropdown menu which is accessible via chat (/ebb config), FuBar plugin or (for the group settings) by right clicking the groups anchor. After setting up a group, its anchor can be hidden by alt-left clicking a bar or the anchor itself in order to lock the group in place.
In order to get additional bar textures and fonts for EBB simply install SharedMedia which is available for download under http://wow.curse.com/downloads/wow-addons/details/sharedmedia.aspx

Posted Mar 3, 2020Hey! Thanks for providing this cool addon, love it!
Im looking for an option to have the buffbar filling from bottom to top. What i mean is having the anchor on the bottom and then all the debuffs piled on top of the anchor.
In case im missing it in the options, i wish it would be implemented as a feature. Thanks :3

The "grow up" setting for the group should do the trick.

Posted Jan 28, 2020Hi - this was my go to mod many many years back. Glad to see its still going!
Questions before I download it:
1) Can you select which buffs you want to see and which not?
2) If a buff expires, does the bar remain up there and just be black (vs disappearing). That way you can easily see, "hey, Im missing Fort", and get it reapplied (vs manually trying to remember 16 buffs and trying to remember which blue bars are missing).
Thanks!

Posted Mar 3, 2020In reply to modsforall:
1) there is whitelisting (i.e. only show these auras) and blacklisting (don't show these auras)
2) it will only show active auras, so even if you are using whitelisting, it won't show those missing.

Posted Jan 18, 2020Love your addon Elkano!
The new 'debuff' in Horrific Invasion shows at debuff group for me, but not as the others with a bar, but with some Icon.
Not remember it's name now, will look for it next time I am in.
Can you check why is it not shows as other debuffs?
Debuffed called (maybe more)
Madness: Bloodthirsty
Madness: Desynchronized
Madness: Promised Power
Madness: Dark Delusions
Madness: Entomophobia
Madness: Leaden Foot
Madness: Split Personality
Can you please set them to the debuff group?
For me normal debuff zone is middle top screen where this Madnesses put by default, overlapping each others.
Thank you so much,
Kobor

Posted Jan 10, 2020Good evening.
I just returned to the game after seven years away (2012) and one of the first addons I re-installed was this one. This was always one of my must-haves! Anyhow I am experiencing an annoying issue, but it's nothing serious; every time I reload the UI or log out and log back in the Group 2 (Debuffs) bar keeps re-entering configuration mode and I always have to uncheck it to make it go away. It doesn't seem to be saving that particular state (Configuration mode - unchecked).
Is there anything I can do to resolve this? Looking back and reading other comments here it seems Elkano hasn't replied since late October of last year; would anyone else know how to fix my issue?
Thanks.

I checked the saved variables file for this addon and all three group buttons do show configuration mode = false so I don't know why I am having the issue I wrote about up above.

Posted Dec 3, 2019I'm having two problems:
1. How do I change the alpha of the bars depending on conditions such as combat or time left?
2. I've created two sets of bars for each buffs and debuffs. I filtered based on de-/buff lengths, as well as the timeless options. Testing with Exhaustion revealed that the correct settings are: [Group 2 (combat debuffs) - blacklist timeless, Max.Timemax 30s][Group 4 (long debuffs) - Min.Timemax 30s]. As soon as I also whitelist timeless for Group 4, it breaks and will not show any debuffs with duration at all - effectively banning Exhaustion from both groups.
3. Minor issue: How do I move groups in the options, so that the buff groups are together, and the debuff groups are together?
Edit: I chose to replace Elkano's with Raven. It offers the same functionality with a lot more options. The downside is complexity - Raven does not have a good or intuitive options menu and is a bit of a drag until you get the hang of it. But it pays off once you do.

Posted Nov 5, 2019Everything still functioning in BFA? Coming back to WoW after a 2 year break or so and this has been the only buff bar I've used since it was originally released. Would be sad to see it was dead.

Posted Nov 4, 2019Love this addon, have been using it for years both in retail and now classic! Have a classic related question - is there any way to show duration of the debuffs on a target? I assume this is a game limitation, but perhaps using https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/libclassicdurations if available?

Posted Oct 24, 2019Really low priority but is it possible to see "Find Minerals" in EBB in classic? I like having my SexMap free of icons. Low priority. Thanks again for making Elkno's BuffBars work in classic. It's amazing and helps bring the nostalgia on even more.

You should be able to already.
In EBB's options, click Override Settings
Click the plus icon next to Tracking, on the left
Click Find Minerals
Under New Type, choose which group you want it to be included in
Type whatever name you want it to show up as

While this could work, there's a better way:
In EBB's options, click Group Settings
Select the Group you want it to list in
Click Filter
Click the check box next to Tracking

Posted Oct 1, 2019Hey Elkano, great addon, been using it since tbc!
Lately (prabably since last update) i noticed i'm missing something... Until recently when mouseover a buff just under the tooltip there was (and still there is) the "Caster:<player name>" but i had the "Players without buff: [...]" list, ordered per party, you know for things like mage buff etc...
I have always given for granted it was an EBB's thing, am i wrong?

Sadly, definitively wrong.
From a quick search, maybe a feature from Z-Perl?

Using 2.6.0 - r196 Seems to work, however, right clicking buffs, doesn't cancel them, any chance you can add that ? Otherwise the addon will be almost useless to me, as I'm playing a warrior, I need to be able to cancel Pword: shield
