Focus Bar Addon?
Focus Bar Addon?
Now that we have a dynamic focus bar, instead of huge mana pool which was largely ignored, I find i am ALWAYS having to look up into the extreme upper lefthand corner of the screen at it. Doing that constantly is distracting from other things I'm supposed to look at, such as my action bars, or the various puddles of death on the floor. I am wondering if any of you know of an add-on that will move (or make a duplicate of) my focus bar in a more convenient position. Something down by my action bar, or just above/to the side of my character might be nice. Thanks for any info!

Re: Focus Bar Addon?
I'm aware of two so far:
1) Hunter-Focus-Bar. Haven't really used it myself
2) StayFocused+StayFocused_HunterHelper. This one I can seriously recommend. It's a simple bar, but it colorcodes itself depending on whether you have enough focus for your main shot, and whether you have enough focus to throw in an arcane without endangering your main shot. It can also be configured to fade out when not in combat.
I'd started writing my own focus bar addon, but then I found StayFocused and decided it was even better than what I had planned, so I abandoned that project.

oUF also displays Focus quite nicely, and with the default positioning it's pretty much exactly where it should be for maximum viewability.

Re: Focus Bar Addon?
I use Hunter-focus-bar right now and I like that it lists the frenzy stacks and shows what buffs you have up but! I hate that you can't move it. I don't want it right in the middle of my screen thankyouverymuch! I'll try out StayFocused, it looks more like what I want.

Annoyed me too, but the description specifically said "a draggable focus bar" so I just tried a bunch of things til it workedSarayana wrote:Ooooh!
