It was like that in v5.00 and the overwhelming feedback I got was make it a separate bar.

I assume I am missing something, but the flame shock DoT bar isn't showing up when I check the box for it. Any idea what I might be missing?

I think a feature to turn on the priority & bars only on boss fights will be appreciated.
Kinda annyoing having it fill up the screen when I'm killing mobs for dailies in 3 hits and it tells me to use FS...

Its almost there you can use /saa enable and /saa disable. I suppose I could add an option to only enable addon in an instance? Please add a ticket at curseforge.com site to remind me.

Has anyone tried using this and not and see comparable DPS? (the priority system) Or is ShockAndAwe hands down makes your DPS better?

I played enhance right up 'till just before ToC came out, I'm ele now but before I noticed a significant difference between having it and not. I mean there are other addons that work to help you see your cooldowns. Shockandawe just does a really good job of setting it up and letting you see what you need.

But yea, definately a significant increase from when I wasn't/couldn't use it.

I've released a patch 3.3 ready ShockAndAwe - PLEASE NOTE I've updated the TOC to patch 3.3 already so you'll need to tick "load out of date addons" for this version to work in patch 3.2.2.

Version 5.10
Added MW3_LB, MW3_CL priorities to the possiblities.
Also added Fire Nova (FN) and Fire Elemental (FE) priorities
Searing Totem, Magma Totem & Fire Elemental Totem now share a fire totem bar
Altered default priority list
Added test for fire totem being destroyed early removing the fire totem bar - thanks to Holls on Brill EU PTR for testing
Fixed export of Feral Spirits glyph not showing in EnhSim Export
Fix for feral spirit icon sometimes remaining visible outside combat

Version 5.20
Fixed Russian Localisation
Added extra localisations from Curseforge localisation setup
Changed all localisations to use Curseforge.com automated localisations
Added feature to hide spells from the priority list that the target is immune to
Added option to turn hide immunity on and off
Added SS_0 option to use SS if no debuff on target
Added FS_Boss option to only use Feral Spirits on Boss
Added priority frame scaling
Fixed bar scaling

Anyone else having this issue?

Just installed 5.20 and my frame-rates are terrible.

I disable it and get 120fps on a dummy.
Enable it and I'm lucky if I get 15-20.

Completely deleted the saa folder in my addons, and reinstalled.

Went back to version 5.1 and the problem is solved. Is version 5.20 only for wow 3.3?

Please try it with the blizzard option "show lua errors" on so I can actually get an error message and help me find out WHY it gives awful frame rates. I've released a new v5.22 that fixes localisation and spelling errors this might help too.

I am not getting bad frame rates but a good number of people are - ALL of these people seem to have "show lua errors" turned off. So I am tearing my hair out as I have ZERO information on what the issue is.

Version 5.24

Several localisation fixes. Fixed the typo in the English Localisation that was causing Priority frame to crash and go in an almost endless loop thus causing frame rates to crash through the floor.

Oo nice.

Just a thought, what about adding a way to import and export a string of text for Priorities? a simple comma delimited string?

SW, MW5_LB, ES_SS....

Na! There would be way to much error checking to ensure that only valid codes were entered and it was in the right format etc etc. Far easier to just say there it is use the drop downs.

Version 5.40
Added export support for necrotic touch (Black Bruise's proc) and mixology if you are an alchemist
Fix for altering bar width causing crash
Add dual spec support - now asks if you want to enable/disable addon on switching specs.

Version 5.41 - should be released later once I get back on and test what I added this afternoon
Added FE_boss option to only recommend Fire Elemental when on a boss
Added query about enabling/disabling addon based on spec when addon initialises (eg: to turn off if login in Resto spec after a DC)

Possible to get a timer bar for Fire Nova cooldown?

Yes I realise that I should have put that in there already.

Levva, I very much second this suggestion. I tried to add it as an enhancement suggestion on Curseforge, but somehow it doesn't show up in the list.

This is probably the wrong spot to post this but I'm hoping you guys can help me out. Since the recent changes to enhance and S&A my own priority system is a little messed up and I feel like I don't perform to the max of my capability. I would like to sim out the ideal priority sequence for myself but I have the disadvantage that enhancesim/rawr aren't available or incredibly hard to get in their up-to-date versions for mac os x. I would be very grateful for somebody to sim out optimal priority settings for my sham so I can punch those in my S&A.

My character armory profile as well as talent distributions are linked below (I'm running an AP-based build and I have chosen to go for a more aoe heavy spec with supportive mana pool for that)

PS. If you happen to be on US-Blackrock I'd gladly reward you with some coin for the help! ;-)

Not going to happen. Feral spirits have their own bar and don't interfere with the priority frame. BTW that is an exceptionally old post you quoted, and pre-dates the feral spirits bar.

@semitruck

This is not the thread to be talking about using EnhSim. Actually siming out all the possible combos for you would need around 400 million possible permutations. I doubt if someone is going to sit and try that just for your gear.

Although Extenze is looking to write another script to do just that.

Yeah, I know it was an old post. I was reviewing the thread to see if the question had been asked. I don't really use the bars. I find them hard to deal with and have mostly turned them off. But I'll try them again.

By the way, are the two mini-boxes attached to the Priority Frame documented anywhere? I'm not entirely clear what they do.

Yea, I understand - maybe somebody with similar gear could just tell me theirs that'd help immensely.

Get this version if you have anything lower.

It seems that in trying to add the new multi priorities to the addon I caused more issues than I solved with versions 5.40 through to 5.55.

Version 5.60 should now fix all of these issues as it has error checkers in there to repair the problems.

It also adds support for MSBT.
