I really liked the addition of the 3 holy power proc, however I have a suggestion, when I do 3 holy power the proc appears... but when I left combat it disappears from my screen, even though I keep the 3 holy power, it would be interesting keep the proc on the screen even outside of combat, so that when I start a new combat it starts with the templar's verdict.

Hi @Lennrj and thank you for your feedback.

The out-of-combat fade-out is intended to prevent having a visual effect that lingers for too long. However, I agree that it could be left visible after leaving combat. Due to the nature of Holy Power decaying over time, it will be displayed for a limited time anyway.

In version 2.1, the visuals will slightly change, as shown below

You can try both changes (updated visuals and out-of-combat visibility) in the 2.1 preview before it goes Live SpellActivationOverlay-2.1.0-rc2-cata.zip

Feedback is always appreciated :)

I really liked the new visual effect you added, congratulations

I'm really liking the 3 holy power indicator, however when looking for art of war, it seems like it's ahead of the holy power 3 indicator

Hi @Lennrj this is a known issue when overlays share the same location. Depending on which one procs first, you may see Art of War slightly better or Holy Power slightly better.

To avoid this, in the previous build I decided to shrink Holy Power. The problem was that I needed to shrink it by a lot (down to 40% of its original size). It was weird to have a tiny overlay next to normal-sized overlays.

So I increased the size of Holy Power, but still smaller of its original size (70%, up from 40%) and slightly avoid conflict. I believe 70% is a good balance of not being too tiny and not conflicting too much.

You can test different sizes by editing source code with a text editor (such as VS Code, Notepad++, or simply Notepad)

1. go to WoW/Interface/AddOns/SpellActivationOverlay/classes
2. edit paladin.lua with a text editor
3. change scale around line 25, e.g. from local scale = 0.4 + 0.1*hp; -- 50%, 60%, 70% to local scale = 0.3 + 0.1*hp; -- 40%, 50%, 60% if you want to make it 10% smaller than what it currently is*
4. save the file and reload your addons (reload UI, or log out and log back in)

Tell us if you find a better balanced size, maybe 40/50/60% or maybe 45/55/65% or something else.

Please note, these modifications will be overwritten when you update the addon.

* side note: the text after the double dash -- is not important. It's called a comment, which only helps developers understand what the code does. The true formula that matters is the 0.4 + 0.1*hp which, in this case, roughly means "40% plus 10% per holy power".

Hi, I'm closing this issue, as Holy Power modifications have been released two week ago. If you feel some other equation would be better, feel free to suggest it.
