I've been using PowerAuras forever but recently heard some good things about WeakAuras. Anyone who has used both care to chime in with some pros and cons?

I've tried both but had to go back to powerauras. There was one aura I could not reproduce and it was vigilance.
Otherwise, weakauras had a much much better interface and more options built in for images. I liked it.

Display when Vig was not on a target? When it was? When it had 5 minuets left?

I had trouble creating an aura that would pop up when vigilance was not applied to a party or raid member.
No timer, but not an aura applied on myself but applied by me on another. But that was 5-6 months ago I think.

So the same thing I would want for focus magic. Big oversight if there is indeed no way to do this.

How did you fix that with power auras? I've been trying to find a way to so something similar with with Prayer of mending.

Actually, I was half asleep last night but I think I saw a way to do vigilance now so I'll try it this morning.
The GUI for Weakauras is immensely superior to powerauras. But since it's not as popular yet, you won't find a bunch of scripts you can import.

I haven't had one for focus magic in a while but I remember that I used to. I'm sure the same one would work for prayer of mending.

Doesn't work Fsob; like all others I've found, it only tracks the cooldown of the spell. Because of the glyph, it's not the worst thing in world to cast it on cooldown, but still inefficient if it's still got a few charges left.
Thanks though

Never mind, I fixed it. The key was the "Raid/party/self" option. Never saw it there before

This is more of a theorycrafting topic, but if its off CD and NOT on a tank - put it back on the tank. qed
so my powa just shows if its off CD or not.

Yeah I often do anyway, but I'm often raid healing and also often running low on mana for fights so I've been trying to conserve a bit more. Depends on the situation really. I might do a second PowA showing cooldown for that reason.
