SimpleAuraFilter
This is an easy to configure addon the get rid of that mess of buffs, that covers half of our precious screen space since the last patch 3.0.2.
Usage:
To hide a buff, just SHIFT-Rightclick it. SAF will remember which buffs you hid between sessions.
There is a profile management integrated into Blizzard's interface options panel.
If you want to see all buffs, use /saf toggle to show/hide the hidden buffs.
To remove buffs from the list of hidden buffs, use /saf menu
Please comment =)
But there is an addon that does that: http://www.wowinterface.com/downloads/info15354-CustomConsolidateBuffs.html
Do you think it would be possible that the buffs/auras you "hide" get put in the consolidation box instead?
@Timmar
Nope, it is not.
New option - Consolidate Buffs: Enabling this adds a buff consolidation box near the mini-map. Very short term buffs (e.g. Replenishment) and very long term buffs (e.g. Prayer of Fortitude) are filtered into the buff box. The icons are stacked here, but they can still be seen by moving the mouse cursor over the buff box. Long term buffs will move out of the box when they are about to expire. Buffs such as important procs (e.g. Art of War, Maelstrom Weapon), cooldowns (e.g. Bloodlust / Heroism, Combustion) or limited in range (e.g. totems and paladin auras) are always displayed.
Once 3.3 hits live, I will update SAF if I still see the need for it.
Probably, that is =)
For instance are Concentration Aura, Mana Totem and so on displayed for every class even though it's pointless for melee. And vice versa with melee only buffs like WF totem or Horn of Winter being displayed for casters.
An update for SAF will take some time, I am afraid.
It just filters your own buffs.
Is this compatible with any buffbar mods, like ElkBuffbar? Or will it only work with the default buff frame? I ask because shift-rightclicking when using EBB just removes the buff, instead of hiding it.
Encountered no bugs in the pre 3.2 version, I assume there won't be any in this 3.2 either :)
further i beg you to put in the feature to hide whole buffcathegories, like ALL debuffs or ALL buffs etc. it's very annoying having to click every debuff just in order to hide 'em all =/
