Ok, this looks like what I've been looking for but... Is this for A) When you get Cackled (IE when transported to the Pagoda) or B) When you are up by Sha himself or C) Both?
I don't have trouble avoiding it when I'm up by him but I do have trouble when I'm down in one of the Pagoda as I often get disoriented as to where the Sha is after transport.
your addon is invaluable for this fight IF you know how the rotation works. at first i found your choice for colouring is very confusing till i learned how the to see the right informations in it and i'd like to propose an idea to make it more intuitive.
the core idea is to not get hit by two arrows per cycle. it's generally okay to get hit by one, so every area already hit once is a "semisafezone" as the NPC only shoot twice at every corner. with that in mind i would colour every zone yellow and mark the next three hits as you already do. once a zone has been hit colour it with another colour, maybe lightgreen, to mark a semi-safe zone were you can't get feared if you haven't been hit already. the "next three shot" marks for those zones could be frames around the semi-safe colour. after they have been hit a second time colour them green cause they're really safe now. once the 16shot-cycle is done reset everything
by following this scheme you can see how more and more semi- and safezones pop up, making it more intuitive to interpret and make the right decision.
i hope you understand what i mean and i don't know if it's possible to re-design your addon in this fashion or if you even feel like it, but i think it would be a good improvement.
id like to say myself and my 10 man raiding team find this addon usless. sorry to say it but in the end it was safer for all of us to just run in a circle on the platform then watch the addon. we ended up turning it off after out 2nd attempt.
but still good job on figureing out a pattern if there is one.
Will there be a Color blind mode at all? like with an icon or something?
Sorry, I'm not really sure what you are asking for exactly.
There is already an option to change any color to any color. Does that not help for you?

If you are having trouble dodging dread spray, sure.
Is this addon useful for LFR Sha?
Hi. Imba addon. I have one prblem though. The window randomly disappears now and then? I need then to /sha to get it to show again. Can it be made so that the addon automaticaly pops on when Sha is engaged OR that it stays visible until told otherwise. Right now it´s pain that the window disappears randomly. Seems to be when not on pavilion though.
regards

The display window gets shown whenever you are ported to the platform, and it gets hidden when you leave it. Are you experiencing issues where the window is not shown when you are ported to the platform? When does it get hidden "randomly"?
It is unlikely that I'll add an option to always show it, since if you are not on a platform it can't show any relevant information to you.
Anyone else got a problem with the /sha not working? The addon itself works just fine but the config doesn't work for me.
It's /sha config
My bad, a library was missing. Please try version 1.21 and let me know if that works for you!
Thanks, works perfect now! (Sorry for a slow reply)
Loving this addon. Thank you for making this!
For reasons unknown, your implementation of AceGUI-3.0 conflicts with Weak Auras. I can't use your addon unless you play well with others; sorry.
There is NO AceGUI-3.0 being used in this addon (you can verify this by just opening the toc file)!
This addon is invaluable!! Absolutely recommended and necessary (I think!) for this fight.
I can not get to addon to work on WoW. I've made it my only addon, among other basic attempts and it won't work
I would also like to add that it works when I load WoW from my regular hard drive but not my SSD.
This really sounds like an issue with you not being able to install the addon "properly". Please read http://www.curse.com/faqs/wow-addons thoroughly.
Thank you for the link, but I have done EVERYTHING on that page multiple times and would not even post on on here unless I had done such things. Downloading it multiple times using both Curse Client and manual download.
I use DBM, Mage Nuggets, TIdy Plates among others and they all work fine. All my addons work fine, but this one
and to save you one step, Yes I have turned off each addon in sequence and all together and it still won't work.
