Avion - the new PowerAuras

[Gerilith]

I tried it out as I found it on the wowace servers...It's a very, very good addon. Since PowerAura isn't supported anymore (the author went to ace2 and programmed Avion ) it is a very good alternative. Some features are missing, but it is still in development and there are some good suggestions in the forums already.

First thing I did was creating animations for popping in of AD and loosing RF

Was Powerauras the addon that you could set if you have a buff named "XYZ" you would get some icon animation overlays etc? I had that before I reinstalled, thought it was very nice, for trinket timers and stuff like that.

[Gerilith]

Exactly. 100% customizable eventtriggering + overlay textures/animations.

[Levantine]

Hmmmm, sounds interesting. Might have to check it out.

[guillex]

SS or it didn't happen!

I loved the idea of PowerAuras, but for whatever reason never spent the time to make it as effective as it could be (suffer from altism so have to set it up too many times...). I'll check out Avion though.

That addon coder has some weird concept of user friendly configuration options. I remember the old PowerAuras being very weird configuration, now with Avion, he made it even more weird, everything is done through menus, and it's driving me completely insane, honestly, its the most stupid configuration I have ever seen. I ended up going into the WTF folder, editing the saves variables LUA file since it was quicker and better.

qft, though the GUI through Rock...let's say it works for me. But the functionality of this addon is amazing.

Did anyone get it to work with Ardent Defender? It doesn't show up as a buff.

Health -> "35" as treshhold.

If it worked, you could make it disappear if your Health gets over 35% again through the "low health"-function of Grid, too.

A help for beginners with this addon: First thing to do is creating a new animation.

[Afraithe]

I got an error message trying to add "Health" triggers :/

[Gerilith]

w00t? I just added "35" as treshhold (no percent, no 0.35), worked fine.

w00t? I just added "35" as treshhold (no percent, no 0.35), worked fine.

Is there a way to make different profiles for different characters?
My mage has no AD so there is no need to show the animation I set for my paladin.

Unfortunately, there does not seem to be any possibility yet. But feel free to suggest it at

Perhaps you could link the treshhold to Grid's "Low HP warning" and use different Grid profiles (with different threshholds there) to get the same effect meanwhile?

QQ I can't seem to get it to work. Are there any faqs, or maybe someone nice enough to help me out? Normally I'm aiight at this sort of thing, but I can't for the life of me figure out how to get the animations. I have the triggers I want set up, but there are no cute lil pictures.
