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.

Posted Mar 31, 2017The update I'm currently working on will bring a very powerful feature that many have requested and will also improve on the issue you mentioned in regards to Wind Shear's glow notification.
I'm adding the ability to allow players to toggle and customize glow notifications on all auras. It's proven to be an enormous amount of work, but I've gotten the primary code complete. I just need to test it thoroughly and then carry it over to Enhancement and Resto. Though, thank you for mentioning that the glow is picking up for friendly casts as well.
I too have recently thought about adding the GCD cooldown sweep animation, so I'm going to try and get it in on this next update as well. I'll have to look into how difficult it is, but I might also add the little flash that occurs when an ability comes off cooldown.
Glad to hear you're enjoying the new auras I added :)

Posted Mar 25, 2017For Resto, it seems like Spirit Link Totem doesn't go on cooldown when it has been used.

Posted Mar 24, 2017Love this, first addon I've donated too. Couple if items:
Can we add Lightning bolt to Enh, for when overcharge is talented?
And can we add some sort of buff tracker? Off the top my head, would like to track Alpha wolves (enh) and things like haste buff (resto).
Additionally, would you consider adding click trinkets, at least legendary's to the CDs section? I have Velen's, and that would be a nice thing to throw up with things like Ancestral Guidance.

Posted Mar 25, 2017I'm glad to hear you like it and I greatly appreciate the donation! :D
The lightning bolt could be something I could add, sure!
What do you mean by buff tracker; like a progress bar?
I've been thinking about adding legendary/trinkets auras, but I'm trying to figure out how I could implement them.

Posted Mar 19, 2017I can definitely sympathize with you on WeakAuras, lol. I'm glad I made the switch to an addon because my original aura package (that this addon evolved from) got too big to be practical via WeakAuras. Thankfully, the addon runs the entire aura package much cleaner too :)

Posted Mar 15, 2017Also, this is kind of a big one, the resto auras don't show up unless we have a target selected. Is it possible to show them all the time? TY! (this happens when you have OOC alpha set to 0)

Posted Mar 16, 2017Setting the OoC Alpha to 1 should have them appear all the time :)

Posted Mar 15, 2017Just started playing my shaman, and really liking your addon!
Was wondering if you could add the pvp talent Skyfury Totem to the totems section for Ele? Ty!

Posted Mar 8, 2017Any plans on adding an option to have certain skills highlighted when they are off cooldown as a bright visual reminder to cast that spell? I'm thinking of Elemental Blast, specifically. Ice Fury would be nice too, below 72 maelstrom, and Frost shock when you are above 20 maelstrom and Ice Fury stacks are present. Add Stormkeeper to this mix and I'd be in Shaman aura heaven.
Great addon. Thanks.

Posted Mar 9, 2017It's definitely planned, yup! I just have to think of how I would develop it in the configuration panel to be as user-friendly as possible.
However, my addon is on a very small hiatus. I've be slammed at work for a week and will continue on until next Friday. It also doesn't help that a group of raiders within my guild showed their true nature by doing a mass-gquit mid-heroic progression for selfish reasons; leaving me to undergo a tough re-build process.

ShamanAuras\SA_Core.lua:2002: in function `UpdateEarthenShield'
ShamanAuras\SA_Frames_Restoration.lua:2200: in function <ShamanAuras\SA_Frames_Restoration.lua:2142>
Not sure what this bug is but thought I would report it.
Also somewhat related, I was wondering if there was meant to be an Earth Shield aura for PVP?

Posted Mar 7, 2017I really like your addon! One thing I've noticed recently is that when I move my resto auras from the default spot, they will reset back to default when I log out and back in. I would love it if you could add the global cooldown effect to the options. Thanks =)

Posted Mar 5, 2017Hey Sweetsour,
The Spirit Link Totem aura does not go on cooldown when the honor talent Spirit Link is used :)

Posted Mar 5, 2017Interesting find, lol. So, I'm not familiar with how that talent works. Do you have access to both Spirit Links; like can you place both down at the same time? Do they share cooldowns?

Posted Mar 7, 2017Hmmmm good questions. So I went to check it out on wowhead and battle.net forums. Turns out this skill simply doesn't have a cooldown! Aura is working as intended lol
