LiteButtonAuras

LiteButtonAuras shows your buffs on you and your debuffs on your target inside your action buttons with a colored border and timer. It is like AdiButtonAuras, and Inline Aura before it, just much dumber and much easier to maintain.

A buff you cast on yourself shows a green highlight in ability button:



A debuff you cast on your target shows red highlight in ability button:



For all of your action buttons:

• Suggest button (border glow/ants) with timer if:
  • your target is casting a spell you can interrupt and the button action is an interrupt, or
  • your target is enraged and the button action is a soothe.
• Show a green highlight and timer if:
  • the action name matches a buff on you that you cast, or
  • the action is a totem or guardian and it is summoned.
• Show a red highlight and timer if:
  • the action name matches a debuff that you cast on your target.
• Show a debuff-colored border (curse/disease/magic/poison) if:
  • your target is an enemy, and
  • you can purge the buff, and
  • the button action is a purge/spellsteal.

• matches buffs/debuffs by name, so it doesn't require manually maintaining spells every expansion.
• has less code and hopefully uses less CPU (probably not though).
• limited support for custom rules (only "show aura on ability").
• doesn't show buffs/debuffs on different abilities that have a different name unless manually configured.
• limited support for customizing (only timer appearance).
• doesn't show hints for using abilities, except for interrupt, purge and soothe.
• doesn't show holy power/chi/combo points/soul shards.
• doesn't handle macros that change the unit (always assumes target).

1. Look up wowhead.com. The spell ID is the number after spell= in the URL.
2. Get an addon that adds Spell IDs to the tooltip.
3. If you have the Details! addon, it keeps a list of spells you can view with "/details spells"

1. Weapon Enchants. There's no way to get the name from the enchant ID that I can see.
2. Macro @units. There's no simple way to figure out what unit an action will target. It can be done with a lot of complex processing, maybe. If Blizzard ever added a GetActionUnit() I would do it in a heartbeat so I can have focus interrupt suggesting.
3. Non-Auras. E.g. channeling time, combo/chi/holy power/etc points. A lot of these could be done, but LBA's focus is on auras only and I personally feel those are better done in other ways or by other addons.
