Looking for help making a WA for LDW Spirits

[Frysharry]

I am trying to make two auras; one for tracking the cooldown of spirits and one for giving a 4-5 second preemptive warning for melees to start moving away from Lady.

So as far as the 8 second pre-warning for melees, this is what I have so far, excluding the actual type of aura (would prefer to have it as bar but haven't had a chance to test different aura types due to making this in a scramble 10 minutes before raid start. I haven't found a way to inverse an aura so it shows at its hide time, so I made it so when spirits are summoned it will start a timer for ~7 seconds, after which it hides and then alerts in party/raid for melee to move.

For the second one which tracks the cooldown/timer of spirits I haven't found a way because of the above issue. I cannot find a way to invert an aura so that its hidden until it's hide time and then it shows/displays a warning or just being able to track a boss ability timer (boss uses x, start a timer for y that hides after its duration). For now, I am just having it show display and then on show throw a message to party/raid and then hiding a second after.

Again, I haven't had much time to experiment with different auras and setups or try different things. Just looking through options there doesn't seem to be a way to have this function as I would like. If anyone has any ideas or suggestions to improve upon this, I would be most grateful! Thanks in advance.

Can't help right now, but maybe you can cannibalize one of these WA's:

Here's the combat log for the spirits: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/...5_13-59-18.png

OK so about an hour after I posted this thread I realized it was a really easy fix and I essentially had what I already needed. I just combined the two auras I originally stated. When she summons spirits, it will announce that spirits are up in whatever chat channel you want. It will then create an 7.50 second bar timer to track (roughly) the duration of spirits chasing people as well as when for melee DPS to move preemptively away from melee. I've had some weird timing things with the WA however due to Lady's cast timers. I know for a fact the spirits are either an 11 or 12 sec cooldown, yet the '4 second' prewarning feels like it happens only a second or two before the next wave of spirits are summoned. Regardless, this is the best I have so far on this front.

Now my next project is making an aura to see if I can see when spirits are targeting you. Even though you cannot target the Vengeful Shades, raid frames still display who has aggro on some unit which does correspond with the spirits. At least from what I have looked through so far, WA will not allow you to check threat on a specific unit other than your target, which you cannot target Shades. The only workaround I have right now is creating an aura that will check if you have threat on any unit and display a warning. I don't know to what level of threat the Shades have on a person, but since they were fixed they no longer have a dynamic aggro table and will stay stuck to one unit. I haven't been able to test this aura yet; this is one of the three I have made: one for red threat, one for orange, and one for yellow. Just dupe them and remove/change (to hide) the class loader if you're a non-Warrior.

I'll post an update when I am able to test the above aura.

Sounds awesome, thanks for sharing your work. I'm currently trying to get a weakaura to work for Malleable Goo; something that should be simple but it has no combat log presence for some reason.

Here you go for Malleable Goo :)

Not my work, got it off an Icecrown streamer.
