Shock Bars

ShockAndAwe displays timer bars for Shocks, Stormstrike, Windfury (internal CD), Maelstrom Weapon, Lava Lash, Feral Spirits, and your shield. It optionally shows number of orbs on left shield, stacks of MW, advises of next shock in rotation. It also shows a user configurable priority icon frame to advise you of what the highest damage ability available is. Using the priority frame ensures you always use the highest damage ability to maximize your DPS.

ShockAndAwe is a WotLK replacement for DisqoDice. Disquette of of Sargeras was the original author of this mod. He has stopped playing the game and he kindly allowed me to take over the mod. I renamed it to ShockAndAwe as I felt that that was a more appropriate name for an addon devoted to helping Enhancement Shamans Shock, StormStrike and Windfury (and Lava Lash and Lava Burst ) their way to their maximum dps.

I have updated it to work with WotLK and patch 3.0.8 and I actively invite testers to comment, provide bug reports, and make suggestions for improvements.

Bars

  • Feral Spirits: Shows two bars the longer one is the 3 minute cooldown of before you can use the Feral Spirits again and the smaller bar shows the 45 second duration of the Feral Spirits out and active.
  • Shield: shows red when shield is inactive, shows time left on shield when active. Displays as pale grey when water shield active, blue when lightning shield is active, and green if some other shaman has cast an earth shield on you. It also displays the number of orbs charges you have left on the bar.
  • Maelstrom: Shows 30 second cooldown and stacks of Maelstrom charges. Shows number of charges on the bar and lights up when you have a full 5 stacks of Maelstrom, this is to show that an instant cast spell (Lava Burst, Lightning, Chain Lightning) is possible. Option flash the bar and/or play a sound when you get 5 stacks.
  • Stormstrike: bar shows when SS is active, duration is modified by Imp.SS talent - overlayed on this bar is hidden Windfury cooldown, so when WF procs you can see how long it will be before SS is ready and whether its worth waiting to proc WF off a SS.
  • Shock bar: shows the type of shock cast (green - earth, orange - flame, blue - frost, grey - wind) and duration before shock is next available. Duration of bar is modified by Reverberation talent.
  • Global Cooldown: shows expiry of GCD
  • Lava Lash: shows cooldown of Lava Lash

Uptime Box

New frame that shows uptime of our major buffs : Flurry, Unleashed Rage, Elemental Devastation. May also add Lightning Speed (Mongoose proc), Elemental Strength (Stonebreaker Totem proc) however these will probably be replaced by new lvl 80 buffs so will probably wait until those are implemented. Display has both session uptimes and last fight uptimes.

Now supports SharedMedia, so you can configure your bar textures to suit your UI. Also now supports altering colours to suit your own preferences.

Priority Box

Now you can configure a priority queue so it will show you the icon of the next skill thats off cooldown that gives highest dps. User configurable options for priorities. Defaults are MW5_LB, ES_SS, SS, ES, LL, ST, LS as those are showing top DPS according to EnhSim. Will also optionally show windshock icon if your threat is overtaking the tank.

Other Features

Now warns if your weapons are missing buffs on entering combat - warns when shield expires.

Now can flash Maelstrom bar when you get 5 stacks, and optionally play a configurable sound every few seconds. Plus can do the same for 4 stacks - feature requested by community.

Displays an optional WF & SS dmg totalizing and option to output to scrolling combat text. So now you can see the total dmg you do from a WF or SS hit.

Gives options to keybind your weapon buff choices and your shield choices.

Ability to export your character data for use in the Enhancement Shaman Sim so you can calculate your dps and the best kit stats for your personal setup.



To configure the addon

Simply type /saa config to bring up the config panel to allow you to configure it.

One of the most common requests for changing the config is to adjust the frame/bar widths, and to change the sounds for MW4 & MW5. These are easiest changed on the Blizzard Config options.

    Might be nice to have a Magma Totem timer bar, to monitor the remaining duration on Magma Totem, and alerts to notify you when Magma Totem duration expires.

    Would it be possible to have the option of a berserk cooldown for trolls?

    The 'Flame Shock Time Left' priority threshold is not working for me, at least on target dummy.
    FS does not show in priority window until it wears off, no matter what the threshold is set at.
    Also, for the actual raid environment, will SAA differentiate my FS from other Shamans'?

    Thanks, keep up the good work Pericles

    1) Spirit Wolves
    2) Maelstrom Weapon x 5 stacks- Lighting Bolt
    3) Earthshock if Storm Strike debuff is on target
    4) Storm Strike
    5) Earthshock
    6) Magma Totem
    7) Lightning Shield
    8) Lava Lash
    9) Maelstrom Weapon x 3 stacks- Lightning Bolt
    10) Maelstrom Weapon x 4 stacks- Lighting Bolt

    which list is better! lol?

    That list is from the BiS discussion which is gathered solely from RAWR/EnhSim and is specific to the BiS gear as well, I believe. A few points:
    - RAWR/EnhSim does not model newest FS mechanics, nor LL/QE (yet) - so that list is a bit outdated. The OP stated he is waiting for those changes to be implemented before adjusting the post.
    - Discussion is on going, but it looks like FS should be in our rotation and if you have QE you want to put LL_if_no_QE high in the rotation as well.
    - Spirit Wolves sims high, but in actual play, you're prob. not going to summon them immediately on every CD, but time them, in which case you can leave them off the priority list

    Would really appreciate an option to disable this mod when you change specs, it's annoying as hell to have that little window telling you what to do when you're trying to heal.

    Do I need to do something special to get the flameshock dot bar to show up other than checking the one option? Would be really nice.

    I am having a problem seeing the new purge and interrupt icons. The boxes are there and fully visible, but no icon shows when an enemy is casting a spell or if they have a purgeable buff, they just remain empty. The boxes are not obscured in any way. The only time the icons show, I've found, is if moveframes is activated.

    If you are using totem of quaking earth does lava lash come higher in the priority list, than ss_es, ss or es?

    I am putting 'LL if no QE' above those, 400 AP is just too nice, but testing still needs to be done to determine where exactly it should be.
    In the mean time, feel it out, but my sense is that the newly added 'LL if no QE' option should be higher. Regular 'LL' can stay toward the bottom.

    Major update

    Version 5.00
    Expanded priorities to have 16 options
    Renamed all occurrences of Wind Shock to Wind Shear
    Added red border to interrupt frame if Wind Shear on cooldown - thanks to Naxino of EU Khadgar for assisting testing
    Added LL_QE to priority options
    Added option to show cooldown "clock" on priority frame - excellent suggestion by Aramis on MMO-Champion forums

    Fixed incorrect speed export to EnhSim
    Added check for missing Priority in case priority list gets corrupted
    Moved default location of priority frame to avoid icon overlaps

    Thanks for your hard work on this amazing addon! I have a quick question for you. Since flame shock has now been incorporated into our dps cycle, last night I was using it and I noticed that it could not tell the difference between my flame shocks and other shamans' flame shocks (as long as an elemental shaman had flame shock up, it would never appear in my priority frame). If this was fixed in the latest version, however, please disregard my comment. :)

    I have a bug that I would like to report.
    Don't know if it is only happening with me but on fights where you get picked up/grabbed, for example Kologarn and Ignis, the SAA prio frame dissapears everytime anyone is snagged, only to come back once they are dropped.
