Power Auras: Hodir

(For my main Power Auras settings post, see here)

I'm still tweaking the positioning on these, so I'm withholding a screenshot until I can fight Hodir another time and check that they're not as cluttered as they were this week :) However, since it was requested, here are the settings I'm using for my Hodir Power Auras buffs:


Toasty Fire -

~I like standing in these, so I made a nice little fire icon. I like knowing when my little camp fire is no longer there, too, so that I can go find a new one! This is great for quickly making sure you're in range of the fire's anti-chill buff.~

Storm Cloud -
~This I made as a pair of arced "lightening bolts" around my center screen, very similar to how I added my clearcasting proc. I added this one so that I could notice when I needed to run around and share it with others. Thanks, Leifo, for the distinction between this and the Storm Power buff!~

Flash Freeze -
~I made this one a big, giant, pulsing pink snowflake, as a "OMG KAE GO JUMP IN THE SNOW!" reminder, especially when I get gridlocked while healing during Frozen Blows. The timer is excellent for counting down how long you have left before you'll be turned into an ice-cube.~

You can also add a seperate Buff aura for Starlight, so that you can more easily monitor if you're still in it. Storm Power can be added as a buff as well, letting you know when your critical strike damage has been boosted; I recommend including a timer for that one.

I'm pretty sure the "give" buff is called Storm Cloud (with 6 charges) and the "get" buff is Storm Power (30 seconds of +150% crit damage). So I think you should be able to distinguish between the two. It's VERY important to do so, since the Storm Cloud buff isn't actually a buff at all but must be distributed asap, and the Storm Power buff means it's time to OMGWTFBBQPWN and blow all your cooldowns to get as many critical strikes as you can in 30 seconds.

Oh, very nice! Thanks for pointing that out. When I had searched for it on wowhead, it just redirected me to the NPC :)

Will edit that in.

Hi !

Did you know you can export your setting ? There is an option on the main window, and it gives you a string of text which can be imported by others in they own Power Auras. I did that with BRK's settings a few months ago, it worked very well.

Just something to be aware of, if you use a different language, you will have to change the name of the spell/aura to match your client's language. I wondered why it wasn't working at first, and after putting the spell's name in French it worked very well.

Hodir is quite fun, but I only have two option with him : I stay hyper aware of everything around me and my dps is crappy, or I focuse on dps and I end up dead... Not good... I still need some practice...

Thank you, Nef, I've gone back now and included the import string for all of my Power Auras buffs :)

That will probably make it much easier for people to copy settings and then tweak them as they like, rather than trying to copy each setting manually!
