My mage Power Aura system – Part 1

This is off-topic, but a bunch of people wanted to see how I did this, and I’ve had a lot of comments from people about it. So here it is – how I have Power Auras play my mage for me. [...]

Healbot users: Nourish fix

Quick post to highlight a problem with Healbot: apparently Healbot doesn’t understand that Nourish is available before level 78, so if you’re using Healbot on a druid under 78, it won’t work. No doubt this will be fixed in an update soon, but in the meantime, Giyg of Nessingwary (US) provides a simple solution: You

Updated Power Auras exports

Here are my updated Power Auras exports for Cataclysm. The import strings are at the bottom of this post.

Obviously my taste in graphics may be different to yours, so feel free to change the look of the auras, but this will give you the code to make them show up. Tweak as desired.

Resto Druid calculator!

Podalarius of Draenor has taken Hamlet’s well worn TreeCalcs spreadsheet and turned it into a very nifty online calculator: TreeCalcs.com. [...]

Power Auras exports – Ruby Sanctum

Just a quickie: here are my exports for Fiery Combustion and Soul Consumption, the “get debuffed quick or you’ll drop a massive void zone thingy” debuffs. This will allow you to move out of/away from the raid so that you don’t drop the damagey spot under everyone’s feet.

Super simple – fiery combustion puts a red skull over your character, and soul consumption puts a purple one (everyone knows that souls and soul-related abilities are purple). [...]

WTF is my Gearscore?

Blizzard will be throttling the queries sent by Gearscore and similar mods, in an attempt to reduce lag (from the mountains of requests being sent simultaneously by all the GS users out there). Hooray! Lag is always an issue for me, as an Aussie, but anything that helps to reduce it is okay in my books.

Rather than go into why I like the change or what it will mean for all of us, I wanted to suggest that instead of using Gearscore, why don’t you try WTFismygearscore.com.

Instead of running an addon that causes lag and adds to your addon memory total, this nifty little website will give you a super quick assessment of someone’s gearscore, plus you can mouseover the instances they’ve done and see exactly what experience they have. [...]

Moonkin Power Auras Exports

Alrighty – here are my Power Auras exports for balance. Remember: these settings have my auras show up at the bottom of my screen, off to the right of the middle. You will need to adjust the X/Y settings to put them in the spot that you prefer. Eclipse My eclipse notifications are actually two

Moonlighting as Moonkin

Our guild has been without a Moonkin for a long, long time. And even when we had moonkins in the past, they were unreliable or had bad connections. Basically, I can’t remember when we ever had a solid moonkin in the raid. The raid leaders really wanted one, badly, and were discussing the option of
