User Interface and Power Auras Exports

I've had a few questions about my UI and which addons I use, so I thought I'd make a post for easy reference. I grabbed a still from my Maloriak video and a couple of other screenshots to mark up so it was clear which addons are doing what. I've listed them all below including links to their page on Curse.com. (Permanent page set up on the right-hand side links here.)

Power Auras Import Codes

For those of you using Power Auras Classic who would like to use my setup, I'll include the Power Auras import codes below. To set these up, all you have to do is bring up the Power Auras editor in-game by typing /powa. You can then import this setup directly by clicking the Import button and pasting the code in.

You will likely need to do at least some minor tweaking to these Power Auras even if you don't want to adjust the size/positioning/etc. The biggest thing to note is these Power Auras are customised to my spec - the Resto ones only trigger for my Resto spec, which is my second spec. If you bring up the edit option, you will see the following:


This is the edit window for the Wild Growth cooldown. This one is set to trigger only when in combat. You can see at the bottom of the edit window that the box next to 'Spec 2' is ticked - this means this will only work in my secondary spec. If Resto is your main spec, simply tick Spec 1 instead of Spec 2 (or tick both if you have two Resto specs), and so on as needed for the other codes.

If you already have some Power Auras set up, it's a good idea to back up your current PowerAuras so that you don't lose any of your own settings. To do so, simply type /powa to bring up the PowA window and click 'Export Set'. Simply copy/paste the code into a text file and save it to your computer. Should you lose your Auras, you will be able to hit 'Import Set' and paste that saved text file in to get them all back.

Great wee guide thanks. I have just levelled my first alt and have been scouring sites for info. Regarding the power aura scripts, I copy and pasted them and I get icons on screen with timers, which is really useful (I was looking for a good way display my cd's but was scared to use power aura's up until now). Looking at your screenshots tho I see that you have graphic aura bars showing as well and was wondering if I have to turn something on in my /powa settings?

I'd be grateful for your thoughts on this and thanks again for posting the guide.
