Keybind Quick Start - James226/aura-mastery GitHub Wiki
Want to know which debuffs are yours? Well this is currently the only way to do it! Are you one of the other ten Spellslingers who've all just plonked their Ignite onto the boss in one big plonking mess? Well now the mess is a little less messy! Have you and the other Medic healer just activated your probes at the same time, and your Flash finger is itching to go? Well now you won't prematurely Flash up the place!
What's a keybind trigger for?
The Keybind trigger allows you to watch one of your many spell bindings. Your Aura will appear and count down how long you have until you need to reapply, then remind you to recast! An ideal way to track your own debuffs until we get support for real tracking in the API! So, want an Aura to track your own debuffs & DoTs? If yes, stick around! If no, please return to the Guides: Quick Start, CodeCopy & Advanced to select another.
