Heh, I went to all the trouble of setting up power aura strings, and you go and find the perfect addon :\

Thanks Sev!

Very interesting, couple of days ago I had the same idea for my missing melee Buffs. Then I made a complete list auf missing buffs so far with powa auras. When applied coloured in the typical classcolours… battleshout = brown, lock =purple etc. Next days I´m going to add debuffs like sunder amor stacks ^^

That level of customization would probably require a specially coded addon.

I haven’t tested your strings, Euripides, but what would REALLY rock is if Power Auras could, instead of bugging the poor overworked hunter, automagically shoot a tell to that damn warrior who insists on wanting to keep Battle Shout up yet keeps forgetting to re-apply it. Or anyone else of the slacking lesser classes, for that matter.

PS. Thanks for a great podcast!

I’m intrigued to see how this works, I’ve been thinking of trying some new stuff with Power Auras to really push the limit of what its capable of since I use it for practically everything else. Hopefully it all works out, since I’d love to copy something like this as well >:]

Quality ideas as usual!

Euripides,

I think this MIGHT help in this mod, or maybe the big one that is getting worked on or maybe one in its own, but on previous posts and I think Web shows, it was talked about specing a certain way that you UN_replenish your talents in favor of DPS, espcially if you have class A, B and &C in the the raid. Could this “missing buff” mod also show what potiental buff you could/shoud recieve from other classes in your raid? Just a thouht.

I think there will be way too many (de-)buffs to setup this with power auras (unless it consumes very much space or it will be too confusing to allow instantly checking a missing debuff).

You should have a look at utopia (http://wow.curse.com/downloads/wow-addons/details/utopia.aspx). I think this is exactly what you want to achieve.

Euripides, this sounds like a great idea. I have my Power Auras set up to remind me about everything I can affect, but would love to see a string for other necessary buffs and debuffs.

I look forward to trying it out once you get it tested!

Thanks, but this actually won’t monitor serpent sting or anything else you’re responsible for (like auras or personal buffs/procs). There are a couple good poweraura tutorials for hunters out there on the internet already, but I may consider doing one myself someday.

I’m looking forward to seeing how this works. As a MM hunter I am used to not having to re-apply Serpent Sting very often, if at all, and occasionally I’ll catch myself having gotten distracted and let it fall off. Same with HM sometimes on these fights that take forever to get through.
Keep up the good work!
