AuraBreak Notify
AuraBreak Notify tracks sensitive auras such as sheeps and shackles. It looks for unwanted damage on NPCs that are shackled, sheeped, feared or things of that nature.
Once the addon notices an important buff fading away, it whisps the original spell caster, and tells it "hey, [this guy] broke your [spell], you need to re-cast!"
It also sends a message to the person at fault, telling him "hey, your [attack] faded [some buff]", and to be more careful.
It is rather easy to configure. See "usage".
Features
- Only one member of the raid needs to have this.
- It is fully based on the combat log
- It works everywhere - but was made with Naxxramas in mind (Gothik's fight).
- Enabled by default for: Polymorph, priest's shackles, hunter's beast fear, druid's hibernate, paladin's undead fear, warlock's single target fear)
- Can be configured to watch any buff/debuff
Example
For example, if a Mage casts Polymorph on a Boar and a warrior cleaves it few seconds later, AuraBreak will:
- Whisp the warrior that he just broke Polymorph
- Whisp the mage that his sheep has faded unexpectedly
To [Caster]: Dpsguy broke your 'Polymorph' on 'Ragged wolf' with 'Shadowbolt'! The aura lasted for 3.24s
To [Dpsguy]: You broke 'Polymorph' on 'Ragged wolf' with 'Shadowbolt'! The aura lasted for 3.24s.
