Power Auras: Eclipse ICD Tracking!

So I hadn't really been questing to figure this out, since I rarely find myself in the situation where enough time has passed for me to consider switching which type of Eclipse that I was trying to proc, but I know it is considered one of the shortcomings of Power Auras when compared to Squawk and Awe.

Enter Mooni of Rand des Wahnsinns, a friendly German Shroomkin over at TMR. He devised a clever way around tracking the ICD. Instead of actually accessing the ICD information, he formed an inverted aura to detect the lack of a certain type of Eclipse. Now here's the brilliance: by setting the animation time to 15 seconds, he effectively created an aura that appears at the end of an Eclipse and vanishes 15 seconds later. A perfect ICD tracker (assuming you let Eclipse expire naturally). You can find his original post here. I've lightly modified his work, changing the graphics from the Faerie Fire graphic into the a fireball. Crash and burn, baby. Crash and burn.

Since I have added a few extra auras, I decided to just repost my exported set as well. This will overwrite everything on Page 1 of your character effects in Power Auras. Don't do this if you've added your own auras to that page. Copy those auras to another page first, then import the set.
  1. Copy the following code
  2. Open Power Auras in WoW by typing /powa.
  3. Click Import Set.
  4. Paste the code into the box that appears and click Accept.
  5. Congratulations! You're now set up. Right click on any aura in Power Auras to adjust the settings, position, or graphic.
