Recently revived the hunter crest since its so simple. The model isn’t white anymore, its red. There’s also a sniper reticle model that’s in there, but you can just turn it off.

Hi I’ve been enjoying a lot your WeakAuras, they are beautiful and I like them really much. However, I’d like some help to customize the Hunter UI, I’d like a marker to track the Sniper Training buff. In case you don’t know, it’s the MM Hunter mastery which requirente you to stand still for 3 seconds to get the buff for as long as you stand still and 6 seconds afterwards. I’d really like to set up a WA to track if I have it or not and how long I should wait to get it or when it expires. If you could help me a bit on that it’d be awesome. I also would like to know how to make better effects since I made a WA to track Living Bomb on my Mage, but it looks not really well, since it’s just a progress texture and I don’t know how to make it better. Any tips for a noob?

I don’t know how you would want it to look or if you already have a certain setup but this is how I would do it if I played Hunter.

Its pretty easy to track those things if you know WA2 basics. I’m a bit busy now but I’ll share the import strings a little later today if you still don’t know how to do it.
As for mage, I also do not play one so I’m not quite familiar with its playstyle. What are you tracking exactly? Its duration on target(s)? Its cooldown time?

OMG Thanks a lot, I didn’t want to ask you to do the whole thing, just some tips on how to do it on my own, but holy god, that looks awesome! As for the mage thing, I have just set up a progress texture that tracks Living Bomb duration on current target, though I’d like to track multiple targets, I’m not sure that can be acomplished realistically, so this is what I did for the Mage, I’m sure much can be improved on, so maybe you could share some tips with me? >_< http://pastebin.com/nYD3itSm

I put the marksmanship strings in the most recent post. As for the Mage living bomb thing, I don’t think there is an elegant way to track a multi-target dot using 3D models. Something like that is best suited for progress bars or icons. So that’s something I wouldn’t try to do.
I looked at your stuff and I don’t know if you seen the boomkin crest but I would do something like the Starfall charges for Ice flow charges. Instead of have a progress bar+texture for each, I would just use a model that only shows when a charge is ready with a recharge timer in the middle of the crest somewhere. I usually try to find something relevant in the crest to use as part of the UI, so 3 charges of Ice flows, maybe use those 3 crystal thingies in the crest. There’s actually six but whatever, just a suggestion.
And I tried to fix Ice Barrier so it looks less blinky:

Hi! I’m looking for a new UI and I think this is perfect since I want it to be minimalistic and efficient. As a BM Hunter all it would really need is to track the Beastial Wrath buff on me and the Beast Cleave buff on my pet (http://www.wowhead.com/spell=115939/beast-cleave).
For the BW buff you could just use the red eyes of the stag. Instead of them pulsating as they do in the example above they could be dim by default and then bright during the duration of the buff or go from dim by default to pulsating during the buff.
Also for hunters of all specs tracking the new talent Steady Focus would be ideal too. Everytime we steadyshot twice in a row we receive a buff for 10 seconds.
Thanks! Keep up the awesome work!
EDIT: I’m not sure if these would be 100% effective due to them requiring a timer of some kind but I’d certainly use it and then add my own timer bars, just have this addon for the visual aspect.

Hi magicaldandruff
I want to start off by apologizing for my (probably) stupid questions
Just downloaded the hunter crest/sigil, and followed the steps on the page “how to: inport strings”
And I do get the sigil to work (yaay) but that all…its just s static sigil and nothing else.
Im compleatly new to weakauras and I’ve tried to google around a little, but its quite overwealming. and I just cant wrap my head around it.
I would really like it to look like your video: https://youtu.be/fqoOPjmG818 but I just dont understand how.
Did I miss something with the import? (imported the string from: https://pastebin.com/ywNvtfNj
Are there more addons I need to get the same view you have? I still see the classic wow ui/layout + the sigil
Thank you in advance

You didn’t do anything wrong, the models are just all broken. Since this sigil’s look is relatively simple, I remade it. Delete the old one and import this updated one. The thing is though, I’m not sure if sniper training still exists in the game so its currently set to show if you have something targeted, like everything else. If you want it to do something else, let me know. I’m not playing the game anymore, and I had to use a sub-level 10 character to fix it, so my knowledge of hunters currently is limited.

Thank you so much for replying and helping me with this! Your sigils are so awesome and im eager to start using it 🙂
The sigil is working much better now, each time I target something it pops up (should it not be up all the time, but not blinking if I do not have a target?) and has its animation.
As you gussed, sniper training does not exist, and also I do not play survival.
I mostly play Beast Mastery , so if the sigil havs an animation when Bestial Wrath is ready would be preferable.
It would look really great with the same animation as your icon: https://magicaldandruff.files.wordpress.com/2015/04/hunter.gif
Mine now has that animation, but also a bigger red target kind of thing around it as well. If possible, this extra red target thing can be removed, or shrunk a lot.
Is it also possible to have some kind of counter bar for the amount of Frenzy/barbed shots thats is up?
Barbed shot/Frenzy can stack up to 3 times, so have a bar(around the sigil?) that showas the amounts that are up, but also counts down the time left for Frenzy to wear of.
I think that would be very useful and awesome to have, if its possible and not to much work 😀
As a side note, I found this image of your sigil. It might not be your image or your character. https://imgur.com/9DJwV0s
but if it is, how/what are you using to get the bars, target and toonicon to be the sides of the sigil like that?
Thank you so much again, I am really in love with this sigil and the thought of being able to use it

If you want the crest to show all the time, open up the config and click on the hunter sigil, then under the trigger tab on the right, for type, select >Status then for status type, select>Condition and check Always active trigger.
For the misdirection animation, if you want it to animate when Bestial Wrath is ready, click on the Misdirection aura and for trigger type select Status, then for status type, select > Cooldown progress (spell) and for the spellname type Bestial Wrath, then change the option from ‘On Cooldown’ to ‘Not on Cooldown’.
To stop the target animation, you can just delete it from the aura group.
For the target bars, at the time I used ShadowedUF unitframes and for the spellbars I used Bartender.
To track frenzy, I think lots of guys made trackers for it like this one > https://wago.io/rk9NbX4rm

One last thing, if you are able to help me.
The misdirection animation is now triggered as I wanted, but its on all the time now… can it be so that its activated when im in combat? So its no animation for misdirection until I am in combat?
Animation is not on if im not in cobat (no matter if Bestial Wrath is ready or not). And as soon as Im in combat, animation is on, if Bestial Wrath is ready
Thank you again!
And thank you for the Frenzy tracker suggestion
