Highlights

BuffTrigger2 (@InfusOnWoW)

We built a new buff trigger system to compensate for a change Blizzard made with Battle for Azeroth, you can read all about it on our Patreon page.

You can mass-convert auras that are using the old aura trigger by <kbd>Shift</kbd> (new!) or <kbd>Ctrl</kbd> selecting them and then hitting the red button. Do note though that only the first, or rather the selected, trigger gets converted, if your aura has multiple triggers, you have switch between triggers and press the button for each of them. Every new aura you create, will use BuffTrigger2 by default, in the trigger dropdown, the new system is called Aura whereas the old one is called Legacy Aura. In addition, the old system is now deprecated, meaning it will not receive any features or bug fixes unless they are critical and it will be removed completely with the release of patch 9.0 at the earliest.

We did a lot of testing ourselves and with our crew of alpha testers (still recruiting!) and we are now at a point where we can say that this is ready for the masses.

TLDR: New trigger system, convert your auras by pressing the big red Convert to New Aura Trigger button on each Trigger page, enjoy better performance, report bugs if you find them. We love you long time. :heart:

Patreon

We've had a Patreon page for a long time, but it was never active and was also not a team-wide effort. We've now changed this and you can read more about that here. If you always wanted to support us, now you can!
