This is a WA that seeks to reinvent how primary rotational abilities are represented to you as cooldowns. Seriously, remove KS/BoF/BoS/ISB/PB/BOB from your UI otherwise if you want to understand what this WA is about. You can remove your Energy bar, Stagger, and TP as well.
IMPORTANT
This WA reuses code from Rivers' addons, please show Rivers your support! Specifically, it uses his Normalized Stagger (with very little modification) and the Brew Charges / ISB buff uptime were both originally his (just heavily modified to match my aesthetic / coding style). They're specifically in this WA because of how significant they are for it + how painful it would be for someone to make the same modifications I did to get them into this visual layout.
Links to those original WAs:
What this WA shows you:
- All of your resource spenders and brew charges visually, for visual planning.
- How long a GCD take so you can plan effectively without constant head-arithmetic, just intuitive visuals
- When below 40 Energy, how long until 40 Energy so you get a feel for "when can I TP without delaying a KS?"
- How long until you reach energy cap (so you know if you could be TPing more often)
- Remaining duration of ISB / Brew-Stache (or a full bar when over 6 seconds, in ISB's case).
- Not in any of the screenshots, but RJW is supported as well.
What this WA does not do: aside from things like make golden elephants
- Tell you your Elusive Brawler stacks / dodge chance, BoF debuff duration, Fortifying Brew duration, etc.
- Recommended WA (one of the children) : https://www.weakauras.online/en/a/4nVNZy8EY2/MCrBHs36xK9UkLZhdurBgnsRbrMAUIixPhzTdBWZ
- Tell you how long stagger is paused for.
- Recommended WA: https://wago.io/4kK070yCW
- Tell you when you're not in melee range (this is a reason to keep TP on your bar)
- Tell you how far into the current GCD you are (too busy immediately showing how long until the thing comes back up.)
- Do really any of the other things you don't see in the most-simple screenshot(s). Others are there just to show you how my UI looks since using this WA (with the EB / stagger pause WAs hidden to prevent confusion…)
- Doesn't currently support talents I've not taken as BrM like Chi Burst / Chi Wave, feel free to convince me that I'm a scrub and should work those in :)
Personalizing this WA:
- First off, I'd love feedback, good or bad, so please let me know your feels (Monk discord or comments)
- Right now, the timespan of the bars is 10.0 seconds. If you want to change that, change it by clicking to expand the "Izeo's WW Bars" group -> Each of the abilities and their GCDs one at a time (e.g. "BoS", "BoS GCD", etc) -> Actions -> On Init, change the first line of text from 10.0 to whatever other number you want. (Sorry, this could be easier, it's easier in my WW version, just didn't like the tradeoffs for making it easier in the BrM case)
- I color coded the bars based on the ability icon's most iconic/flavorful color -- reasonably subjective. Editing the colors should be very easy, just change Bar Color for the "BoS" bar for example (not "BoS GCD", unless you don't like my grey for GCDs)
- The icons on the right. Honestly I put them on the right for visual balancing, they probably belong on the left because that's where your eyes will often be initially. I still prefer them where they are, but if you want to move them (it's just a box, easy to change), be sure you: Change it in both the bar and the GCD bar, AND make sure you move the Energy Cap/KS Energy auras all to the right to compensate.
Some notes:
- If you try it on a training dummy (and hide the buttons I mentioned), you'll probably immediately see what's cool about this addon if it's for you. Admittedly it's more impactful on WW than BrM, but I love the visual intuitiveness of it on BrM all the same. But when you take it to combat it'll be a learning experience, you're getting used to something new/significant. Do some LFR with it, etc. I can't stress enough how important it is to hide your old corresponding buttons from yourself. I'm biased but I think it's worth it -- you'll become much more aware of any KS delays, wastes of Energy, changes in ability overlap during Lust, etc. It's super cool, ~shameless~
- It's polling for CDs constantly, so yes it'll work with Haste (including trinket procs, Bloodlust, etc.), and is fairly robust because of it. Some of the only hardcoded elements are that BrM's GCD is 1 second no matter the haste, and that KS costs 40 energy. If any of these change, some of the code will need to change, but I've put forth some effort to make it easy/understandable (despite WeakAuras making it really difficult to write maintainable code)
