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.
1. Blah, I was afraid of that, lol. I guess I'll just have to do a ring check.
2. Good times, lol.
My resto auras only show sometimes, even in combat ( I have OOC set to not show) Help please
Has this always happened, or only started recently?
Hi,
Loving this addon, fave so far but can i make a few suggestions...
Can you increase the width of the Maelstrom bar more than it allows right now, maybe too 350? i think it is 200 max at the moment.....sorry i have severe OCD and i like when things match in length to the rest of my interface....i.e my buttons in total are around 320mm in width total and i have the Maelstrom bar just above my buttons but it is about 120mm short in width from left too right.
Can you include a cast bar, that way i could get rid of Quartz
Can you also include a option to resize the aura icons, i.e concordance of the legionfall etc etc.....
Lastly as someone else mentioned can you increase Maelstrom too 125
Sorry, i am a PITA....lol
Keep up the good work, much appreciated
Jay
Lol thanks for the suggestions; very constructive!
1. I'll make the max of the Maelstrom bar to 500
2. I'll take a shot at a castbar, I can see the benefit of it by consolidating addons
3. Look at that, I forgot to include re-sizing on the newer auras. Thanks for the heads up!
4. I've successfully raised the Maelstrom max in my current update that I'm working on :)
Hello! I'm currently trying out the Resto Shaman part of this addon and I'm having some trouble with the progress bars. Right now I have Mana Bar and Tidal Waves Bar checked. However, I never see a Mana Bar and only sometimes see some other bar that always seems to come up as half full (not sure if that's supposed to be Tidal Waves or not). I've not tried out the EST bar.
Is there something I need to do for the Mana Bar to show up?
Also, does Time Warp cover Heroism as well? And why are there two Time Warps? Only one can be checked, it seems.
TIA!
Thanks for all the info, I'm going to look into it asap! :)
Has this been happening since you started using the addon? If so, how long ago did you download the addon. If not, did this start happening when you updated the addon?
It's been happening since I started using the addon - the same day I posted this comment. So, I had the most up-to-date version as I had just downloaded it.
Hmm, very strange.
Let's try resetting the saved variables.
1. Close WoW completely.
2. Navigate to your "WTF" folder; found within your WoW directory
3. Within this folder there will be an "Account" folder, then continue to the folder with your account name.
4. Continue into the folder "SavedVariables".
5. Find and delete "ShamanAuras.lua" and "ShamanAuras.lua.bak"
Hi Sweetsour!
Fastastic job on keeping this addon up to date. It is very much appreciated. When I play Ele I usually run Totem Mastery but I dont see an aura for it especially reminding for a refresh. Can you include this under a major/minor aura?
Also, the Maelstrom Trigger only goes up to 100 Maelstrom to notify for Earthshock - can this be adjust to a max of 125 considering we Earthshock around 115-125 Maelstrom?
Thanks!

I'm glad to hear you enjoy the addon! :)
I could potentially add a major aura for totem mastery, sure. Currently, there should be a graphical alert when the remaining time goes below the decided time (found in config options under the "Totem Mastery" slider; 15 seconds by default). It's located behind (by default) the two rows of major auras) and pulses when it's visible.
Also, good call about the Maelstrom; I'm surprised I missed/forgot that, lol.
Hi Sweetsour,
I totally missed your reply! I did double check Totem Mastery , adjusted the slider for 30 (for quicker testing) and unlocked the grid and moved the items into a row so I could see if anything would pulse - 5 times to 30s and nothing pulsed. I wonder if it is a bug?
Thanks again for your reply! I will reply quicker next time.

Interesting, I'll see if I can find anything.
Also, I've created a Discord server for more real-time bug/suggestion discussion. The link can be found in the addon's description above :)
Hi Sweetsour,
Is there a cooldown or icon for the Elemental Artifact buff?
Also - can you make this addon for Death Knights and Rogues? :D
By "Elemental Artifact buff", are you referring to Stormkeeper or Concordance of the Legionfall?
Also, I have no plans on migrating this addon to other classes, sadly. I've been working on this addon since August of last year and it's still in beta. It's an enormous amount of work for a single class. Sorry!
Stormkeeper to track the charges maybe embedded over the icon?
Good idea :)
Hi Sweetsour,
I have recently chosen Ascendance over Boulderfist as my final enhancement talent but the addon isnt showing the Rockbiter cooldown if Boulderfist isnt selected. I cant see Rockbiter under the Major Auras within Enhancement so was wondering if you could add it?
Appreciate your help on this and the addon is a game changer!
Cheers
Thanks for the heads up! r50-beta has just been uploaded and should contain the fix to this :)
