Sweetsour's Shaman Auras
Sweetsour's Shaman Auras
Introduction
Like myself, I know there's a lot of people that enjoy the functionality that Weak Auras has to offer; in fact, some of you may remember the Shaman Weak Auras package I offered. Though, the one downside with Weak Auras when dealing with larger packages is multiple import strings and a somewhat sloppy installation process. In light of this, I've decided to make the whole process much easier for the end-user and offer a solution that has is far easier than having to setup a large Weak Auras package.
The addon has evolved from Weak Auras, so it has that familiar feel that you're used to. Thanks to thousands of users testing the addon, it has become something far greater than I originally expected!
How to Use
This addon has been designed to provide a high-level of customization, in terms of aura layout. It's a very simple process and can be achieved by doing the following.
- /ssa - Access "Home" window in Interface Options
- /ssa ele - Access Elemental customization options
- /ssa enh - Access Enhancement customization options
- /ssa res - Access Restoration customization options
Moving Frames
One of the most requested features was the implementation of being able to move all of the frames. It's very simple to do!
- Type "/ssa <spec>".
- Click the "Layout" tab.
- Click the "Move <spec> auras" button to open the aura movement utility.
- A grid will appear and the auras will become moveable.
Yup, this has been reported by multiple people. I'm hoping to have it fixed soon :)
Also, I should ask: does the overlapping always happen, or randomly?
I've narrowed it down to the Frostbrand timer bar that's causing the issue and it has been fixed. It'll be live in the next update, which I hope to release soon (I just have a couple more bugs to fix first)
It is randomly and it is not always the same buff.
Hey man, first of all thanks a lot for ur work.
For some reason my undulation and cloudburst indicators are not working, what might be a reason? Maybe the fact i'm not using english version of the game, can i fix it somehow?
Cloudburst shows up with 0 healing stacked when used, but disappears with any heal used, undulation doesn't show at all.
Thanks a lot for ur help.
Hmm, are you getting any Lua errors? "Bug Grabber" and "Bug Sack" are great addons, when paired together, that keep track of bugs in a non-intrusive manner.
Got same problem... bug grabber and sack installed. No bags at all
Does it not appear only sometimes, or not at all?
It appears for a few seconds, showing 0 of healing and disappears :(
A feature that I would like to request would be the option to add sounds to things when they come off cooldown. Sometimes I just need a little reminder lol.
Hello everyone!
Thank you for everyone's recent comments that have wonderful compliments as well as bug finds and suggestions!
I just wanted to stop by for a moment to let you know I've been on a bit of a break with developing my addon. I've been starting to feel burnt out from it and I just needed to take a step back. It won't be a long break by any means, I just need to recharge a bit.
Thanks again, everyone! :)
Hey I love the addon!
I`m an enhancement shaman main, and was just on the look after an addon that can help me remind myself of a buff being depleted, and just found ur addon.
Think it is really cool looking, and is pretty good, but there are a few things I would love that u could change on the enhancement part of the addon.
I notice that the aura gives a huge dps decrease since it does only remind you to apply Frostbrand and Flametongue when the buffs are depleted. I think the aura should tell you to use the buffs when you got 5 seconds left of the buff, would be a big improvement!
Also Would be nice to change the Flametongue timer bar to red instead of orange, and the frostbrand icon to the actual frostbrand spell icon, and not the hailstorm icon.
Noticed a bug as well, sometimes when u have all buffs up, one of them does not show up as a bar on the left side on the aura. :)
Either way, thanks for a great addon! hope it get more noticed.
Love this addon. Would like to see it for other classes as well like a rogue, druid, etc.
Hey Sweetsour,
Very impressed with the work you've done so far. I can't find a 'known issues' section anywhere, so please forgive me if the bugs I report are old news.
ENHANCEMENT
1. Infrequently, one of the left-hand side buff bars (weapon buffs) will stack on top of another buff bar, effectively hiding one buff from view. From observation, it seems to happen when one buff is added at the same time as another is just ending.
2. The cooldown timer text appears over top of the Stormstrike aura icon after it's been used, but does not clear when reset by Stormbringer, making it difficult to tell when you have a regular use of Stormstrike available.
3. The Stormstrike aura icon does not fade out at all when you have insufficient Maelstrom to cast it.
4. The Stormbringer orbs will often stay active in the UI when out of combat, and the Stormbringer buff has faded.
5. The Flametongue and Frostbrand aura icons will sporadically stop 'highlighting' at the 'time left on buff' interval set in 'Settings'. I have these values set to '5'.
6. Not a bug, maybe more of a preference: The Frostbrand and Crash Lightning buff timer bars are too similar in colour. Giving Crash Lightning another, more striking colour will help us keep track of the buff on our peripheries like we do with the rest of the timers.
Thank you again for your excellent work. I'm very interested in seeing this add-on do well, as it does everything I need it to. Please let me know if you have any questions regarding my informal 'bug report'.
Cheers!
Seriously loving your addon, ditched my WeakAuras for it. It shows all the cooldowns that I need. I still haven't quite figured out the timer bars in enhance, why does Frostbrand share a bar with another buff?
One bug I would like to report: when I switch from enhancement to resto or vice versa, the timer bars stop showing up. I have to reload the UI to make the timer bars show up whenever I switch specs.
Keep up the fantastic work!
Hey good start, but some things i would like
1 setting for rotation and one big glow for next spell and a smaller on the one after ...config able...
2 the fade out dont works for all bars, and could be nice to have one "fade out config" for each bar?
3 resize able timers , and rotat them...config options for that to :)
4 able to have an option to only show the "next prio spell (or two next)" on the same spot
5 able to rotate Artifact bling bling and resize everything ofc ^^
keep up the good work! will use it for support in hope of make the small things perfected ;)
thanks for the Cloudburst fix :)
You're welcome! :)
How do you think it looks? I haven't gotten any feedback on it yet.
seems nice, might be a tad too large, but I haven't run any mytic+ since the update, so I'll let you know if it's a problem.
Hey all - quick tip. If the cool down bars stop displaying for enhance, try removing the addon and reinstalling. That worked for me!
Great addon too!
No complaints, helps me see my buffs much easier, thank you for your time creating a good shaman addon! Since it's in beta, little things are expected, only one I've noticed though, is that I can't hide it on specs I don't want it to show. Using for enh, can't hide it in resto.
