- Monk: Chi
- Hunter (Beast Master): 'Frenzy'-Stacks
- Warrior (Fury): 'Raging Blow'-Stacks
- Shaman (Enhancer): 'Maelstrom Weapon'-Stacks

- Mage (Arcane): 'Arcane Charge'-Stacks
The PowerBar
'Used'-effect
In Addition to the common settings (position, size, colors, etc) the powerbar has a 'used'-effect (can be turned off). This effect colors the power you just spent and then fades it out.
'Recolor'-effect
The Powerbar has 6 states in which the color can be changed (fully customizable). 3 states for each 'in combat' and 'out of combat' representing: 'power empty', 'power full' and 'power neither full nor empty'. The thresholds-% for 'power empty' and 'power full' can be set by the user. Changeable fo all 6 states are the color and the opacity of the bar. With this feature you can color the bar when the power is empty as a visual alarm or you can change the opacity of the powerbar to an adjustable amount whenever you are out of combat.
The ComboPoints
Colors
The colors are fully customizable for every single ComboPoint.
Position and Size
You have the choice between two modes to set the positon and the size. Intelligent-CP-Mode This mode only needs 3 numbers to automatically adjust the ComboPoint position and size to your PowerBar. Manual-Mode Deactivating the intelligent-cp-mode lets you set all combopoint positions and sizes by yourself.
'Fadeout'-effect
This effect is similar to the 'used'-effect for the powerbar. ComboPoints that have just been spent change their color and then fade out. You can toggle this effect
'Color ComboPoints on X'-effect
This effect overwrites the colors you chose for the combopoints when you have X combopoints gained. The amount X is selectable. You can choose whether all combopoints or only the first X combopoints should be colored when the amount is reached.
'Sound'
Whenever you gained Y combopoints a sound is played (deactivated by default)
The Textfields
The number of textfields is not static, meaning you can create/delete textfields at your wish. Textfields contain information that can be parsed with tags.
Tags:
(alternative power is currently working only for demonology and destruction warlocks and represents the amount of ember shards or the amount of demonic fury.)
- Current Power:
- [PowerCurrent]: Shows '19218' (current power)
- [PowerAltCurrent]: Shows '19218' (current alternative power)
- [PowerCurrentShort]: Shows '19' instead of '19218' (current power)
- [PowerCurrentSmart]: Shows '19.2' instead of '19218' (current power)
- Maximum Power:
- [PowerMax]|r: Shows '19218' (maximum power)
- [PowerAltMax]|r: Shows '19218' (maximum alternative power)
- [PowerMaxShort]|r: Shows '19' instead of '19218' (maximum power)
- [PowerMaxSmart]|r: Shows '19.2' instead of '19218' (maximum power)
- Missing Power:
- [PowerMissing]: Shows '19218' (missing power)
- [PowerMissingShort]: Shows '19' instead of '19218' (missing power)
- [PowerMissingSmart]: Shows '19.2' instead of '19218' (missing power)
- Percentage Power:
- [PowerPerc]: Shows '18' for 18.3%
- [PowerPercSmart]: Shows '18.3' for 18.3%
- ComboPoints:
- [CPsCurrent]: Shows your current ComboPoints/HolyPower/etc
- [CPsMax]: Shows your maximum ComboPoints/HolyPower/etc
- [CPsMissing]: Shows your missing ComboPoints/HolyPower/etc
- Buffs: (only parse information when buffs are tracked as ComboPoints)
- [BuffDurationLeft]: Shows the time left
- [BuffDurationTotal]: Shows the total duration
The position of the textfields is on the powerbar by default. But you can reposition them and put them on your combopoints to show the buffduration via [BuffDurationLeft] or the amount of demonic fury you gained as a demonology warlock via [PowerAltCurrent]
The Markers:
Markers are marks at specific places on your energybar. They can be placed at absolute positions(e.g. 1217) and at relative positions (e.g. 40%). Again they are fully customizable. You can set them for both specs or only for a specific single spec and you can choose in which combination to a powertype they are shown. That way a druid could set sepperat markers for his mana (no form, moonkin, tree), his energy (cat), his rage (baer) and set a universal marker that is shown with more than one or even all powertypes. The purpose of these marks is to give you a visual assisstance so you get to know better when you have enough power to use an ability or when you can use a mana-gain-spell without wasting mana.
Default Settings
Default Profile
You can set a saved profile to be a default profile. That way every char that has no config for this addon will load the default profile instead of the addon defaults.
Default Color Sets
You can save color sets that contain the colors of the ComboPoints. Those color sets can be set as a default color set for a specific class. That way the addon can this color set that is set as default for the class. Default color sets overwrite the colors from the loaded default profile.
Is there a way that I'm missing to show a value for mana available as a Percentage instead of or along with the value?
How do i disable the mana bar if i only want to see my Demonic Fury bar?
This is the addon I was looking for but has one flaw I can't seem to fix. Every time I use an ability the bar will "flicker" strangely. The energy I just used will disapear, and then a "ghost" of the lost energy will flash on the bar for a moment and then the bar will return to normal. It makes the bar look like it's jumping all over the place for a half second after every ability.
Currently have it disabled b/c it is not only giving me a headache but also makes it hard to get an accurate at-a-glance idea of my energy total. Yes, I have disabled fade out effect under the USED tab. Also tried activating it and setting the opacity to 0% but that doesnt help either. It's like the addon is still trying to use the fade out effect but instead of fading it just has a moninary seizure.
Great addon, just wondering if its possible to swap the position of the power bar and the combo point bar, so that I could have to combo points on the bottom and power bar on the top? Thanks.
Does this show an energy bar along with the chi?
First off, love the addon. I swear by Vex Runes on my DK, so thought I'd set it up for my monk. I can't figure out though how to get the 1 pixel border around my combo points (in this case chi). I've got the combo points set up exactly how I want, but each chi is just a block of solid color, if that makes sense.
Works fine with my monk.
post again, if it didn't work, might be a bug I don't know of
I don't see an option for border color solid. Here is what I have http://i.imgur.com/ZTYzvrW.jpg
I think the default bar is too small and I'd like to change the scale. But how to adjust the size of the bar? I've tried /vexpower size, /vexpower adjust, /vexpower scale but none of the slash commands are working.
ESC -> Interface -> Addons -> Vex Power -> PowerBar -> Position & Size
Arcane charge for mage is displaying combo points with a cap of six stacks when they only stack to a maximum of four. Line 166 of cps.lua simply needs to be updated to "returnvalue = 4" from "returnvalue = 6" to make them display correctly.
thx for reporting
hi pls help ... i accidently hit reset to defeault .. and before colours combopoints was changing what i was logging on char lock =purple mage =blue .. but now are only yellow and i dont know how change it i try everything..
ComboPoints->Layout->Activate "Load individual color sets for each class ..."

How do you disable the combo points bar?
options -> show -> "Enable ComboPoints"
i can disable powerbars and use only combopoints?
yes
