"Custom", well, that's for clever folk who code their own. "Aura" triggers check for buffs, debuffs on players and other units, including groups etc. I could rattle through the different things that each type can do in full, but it'd take forever, so for now, the very basic run-down is this. It then tells me to reapply it, and probably calls me a noob.įor our Mindbender aura, so it's a matter of choosing the right type. There's always one trigger in there, so "Add Trigger" is only when you want to check for two conditions, so, for example, I have one on my mage which checks that a) Ice Barrier is off cooldown, and b) that I don't have Ice Barrier up on myself. You'll see the window below, the first thing I do is name them, the name on the left is for your reference only, so you can call it whatever you like! Type /wa into your chat, and pick a texture. We're going to start with this fairly light one, then try a trickier one! The strings for both these displays are below, too. Let's assume for now that you want a display to appear when your mindbender is available. Do you want an animated display, some text, or just an icon? Maybe a progress bar? A numerical timer? Some text? Or just a pretty picture that appears and disappears? Pick whichever sounds good to you from the list, but I'd say avoid groups for now, they're rather more complicated than the basic displays! First, you want to work out exactly what you're after from your display. This is really the best way to get to know Weak Auras, so it's logical to start here. Please feel free to email additional strings to I'd really like to create a compendium! We've collected some of our favorite Weak Auras strings, and published them for each class (and some general ones) on their own page: When I first got started with Weak Auras, a while back, I found that the easiest way for me to learn to use it was to start with an existing aura and go from there. These, essentially, are huge text files full of mumbo jumbo that can be translated by Weak Auras into displays. Weak Auras, when created, can be imported and exported as what are called strings. While I use it a lot, I am far from an advanced user, given some of the things I've seen people create with this addon, so I'm going to keep it basic, and I'm also going to hopefully, with your help, start a useful set of Weak Auras strings! Unlike several other very powerful addons, a user guide also exists, that walks you through the basic starting point of Weak Auras, creating your first display. However, like many very powerful addons, it can be a little daunting, and there's an awful lot going on. Weak Auras is a really incredibly powerful addon, enabling users to create custom alerts for pretty much anything they want to see.
