You’re welcome! I love them now that I’ve settled into them.

Although I might make Starfall a bit bigger, so it’s huge and obvious and I can hit it immediately.

Macroed to a /yell: “STARFALL TIEM!!!111″

Yeah.

Switching my resto offspec to moonkin to help out with some fights that need ranged.

Your power auras settings are perfect: clear and functional, but with some eye-candy (love the runes).

Thanks for sharing them!

I used PowerAuras for moonfire and insect swarm, but since they were also popping up as debuffs on my target, it was doubling up and felt cluttered. So I just use debuff icons (with text timers) now.

I can’t use bar-style mods, I’m blind to them for some weird reason.

On my shadow priest I have PAs for things like “you don’t have a Pain up on this mob” which is pretty cool. I could probably do something similar for moonkin – but debuff icons seem to be working ok.

@Kiramaren.
My way around Moonfire and IS seems to work, might be worth a try for you.

I have a marker for the debuff “moonfire” (my cast, on enemy target) with a timer. I also have another aura in the same place on screen, with the same marker in flashing red, without a timer, with the condition inverted. I can see instantly if my target lacks the debuff, or – if present, how long it has left.
Likewise for IS.

These make it really easy to plan the next spell – whether I have time to cast one more non-eclipsed starfire before needing to refresh Moonfire/IS.

(I use similar for a shadow priest, with his three dots and a pair of non-instant nukes.)

I lose powerauras. I run 5 toons in dual spec, and lose track of which ones have priorities, rotations and procs. So I have auras set up for abilities on cooldown, with them visible in a priority-like order. Allows me to be “okay-quality” with the alts that get less love.

Once you get past the learning curve, this addon is amazing. Some other hunter has aspect of the wipe on in combat? Powa for that. My priest forgot inner fire? Not with Powa. Missed a trinket proc? Powa didn’t miss it. Didn’t notice that Faerie fire was not on my target? Powa noticed.
And so on.

Hmmm question for you, I am MS tank and noooow instead of resto OS BOOOOOMCHICKEN (in mostly resto gear… ahem)! Annnnnd I love your strings for it, so far I only have the wrath/starfire I added them and adjusted as we were walking into a 25man toc pug so I didnt have a lot of fiddle time.
What do you use for your moonfire and IS?? I am using squawk and awe but I find that it is cluttering my screen, and I have moved the timers but they dont want to stay :s Do you have strings for MF/IS when they fall off your target? Or how do you track them? There has to be an easier way!

Thanks!
/Typhoon!

While I am not a boomkin, I’ve used your discussions/examples of Power Auras to help me with my toon. Just wanted to say thanks.

btw. Just thinking that you might want to reserve the domain name downfeatherjacket.com.

Sure!

When you edit your aura, down about halfway in the window you should see tabs for Activation, Animation, etc. There should be a Timer tab.

Hop into that one, click “show”. (Make sure you have clicked “test” so you can see where it’s going to go).

Then you can use the X and Y sliders to position it in the right place.

Let me know if you’re still having troubles, and I can take some screenshots to explain a little better

Question! I’m already using Power Auras for all sorts of good stuff, including the Starfall and Force of Nature cooldowns. I have them set to show the icon when the ability is ready, positioned and sized exactly where I want them, and don’t want to have to go through all that setup again so I won’t import your code lines up there… but I would like to add the timers for the cooldowns. Can you give a brief description of what to put where in the setup screen to get the timers to show?
