  • About Twister
  •  

Twister is an aura-twisting helper for Chosen and Knights of the Burning Sun. It allows you to specify up to 3 auras that should be sequenced. Its display will show you what aura is currently active, and what auras are fading/expired. Any aura icon can be clicked to refresh (or in the case of the active aura, deactivate) that aura. The currently active aura is shown larger on the left side of Twister's "trough", auras which are about to expire will turn red as they near the end of the trough, and the longest-expired aura is shown at the far right side of Twister's trough. The trough's background will turn blue when you're able to cast another aura.

In addition, you can specify a hot bar binding number (from 1 to 120, defaults to 119) to bind to Twister, after which pressing the key bound to that hotbar binding will activate the next aura in the sequence (Twister is smart enough to only activate this keybinding when the shared aura cooldown is not active, meaning that you shouldn't get many "ability not ready yet" spam messages if you hit the key while the cooldown is still going). The hot bar binding number you choose does not necessarily have to be one that is associated with a visible action bar (as you may have guessed from the default value of 119).

To set up which auras (and which button #) Twister should use, simply right-click anywhere on its display. Then drag auras from your abilities window to the 3 squares, and/or change the button number in its edit box.

To save or load sets of auras, use the following commands:

  • /script Twister.SaveSet("setnamehere")
  • /script Twister.LoadSet("setnamehere")

Either command can be macro'd if desired (especially useful for loading sets).

Twister's display will only be visible (and Twister will only be active) when the current character is a KotBS or Chosen.

    hi there,

    yet another great addon from you.

    may i ask is you still develping it further?

    btw, since i installed twister i often get the message to slow down when i write something in the chat window, even when it's the only thing i wrote within minutes. not game-breaking but still annoying.

    Twister has nothing to do with chat. Did you install other addons at the same time as you installed Twister? (For instance, State of Realm, perhaps?)

    haven't installed a single addon in weeks. i haven't even updated them. twister was the only addition/change i made. however, since today is patch day there are other problems to solve first. will report back if problem persists

    About the slow down when typing thing showing up in chat window, I haven't installed this addon yet and get that message, so it isn't this addon :) I also have SoR so it could be that but no idea

  • If think there is a problem with Twister : i try to use it in my pack (YakUI) or alone (with dependence of course..) : impossible to use it : never change the aura (good config ..). It stay always one the first aura.

    Umm is there anyway to have more than 3 auras in queue? I want to set up so that 2 chosens in party can rotate much larger aura sequence.

  • I know that you can bind 2 hotkeys via mapping 2 keys to same hotbar position. However, this isn't a viable solution for those of us who love to use Twister combined with Nerfed Buttons, both mapped to the same key (so sequence + Twister sequence simultaneously firing, while allowing us the quick and easy aura changing via Twister). E.g. I'd love to have a tank NB sequence bound to key 1 and a dps NB sequence bound to key 2 and Twister bound to keys 1 & 2 so that I can use Twisters fantastic UI to swap auras according to content and group makeup.

    So could you add a way to, within Twister, bind to multiple keys?

    Solutions:
    1. Turn the black, keybind box into 3 separate keybind boxes.
    2. Integrate punctuation into the keybind box (e.g. the use of comma, semicolon, etc.).

  • great addon!

    but there are an issues that might only apply to me:

    in Scenarios I find that my currently active aura will de-click consistently after one rotation (sometimes after the first aura in the rotation)
    -if I manually cast the first aura in the rotation I can typically get one whole rotation
    -if not, the first aura would just enable and disable

    thanks a lot!

  • I seem to get this too though not just in scenes; keeps, forts and city sieges as well. I notice this happens more in high lag situations. Any ideas?

    Any chance you might add functionality to the UI to display and select alternate sets?

  • Hey mates,
    Ok like many I catch the beginning but then a big blur for the middle and end section.
    1)I set 3 auras in Twister
    2)I bind a key for 2 or perhaps 3 auras as far as I can understand but then...
    3)Does Twister recycle the auras forever until I die or log out?

    Basically Twister sounds promessing but I am Looking for a mod or macro to cycle two or three auras automatically until I die, log out or hit a key to terminate the cycles. Can Twister do this?

    No addon can automatically cast spells (including auras). It's not possible, and Mythic intentionally does not allow it.

    Twister simply allows you to press one button repeatedly to twist multiple different auras.

    Hey mate tops addon i have been scrolling through the comments but i couldn't find an answer.. any chance you can bind more than 1 key? same twister bar just more than one key cheers.

    To both you and krucifix85 below; the key mapping window lets you bind 2 hotkeys for each binding - just set a second hotkey for the same action bar #.

  • Can you make a secondary bind please? I like to have it bound to my '2' key (my spam dps ability) but would also like it bound to my thumb mouse, in case i'm playing more defensively, and don't need to spam my dps. I switch manually now, but having it bound to both would be awesome.

    What are the chances of making this usable for White Lions? i'd love for one button to rotate through the 3 training paths to maximize the cool downs.

    Gets very confused when other Chosen are around and I find myself resorting to staring at the tiny cooldown timers on my buffboxes.

    An option for a sequenced timer, as suggested by Amble would really help for the occassions when multiple Chosen are twisting (often).

    At least as an interim measure whilst you work out why the cast-by-me flag isn't working as it should.

    Thanks for all your hard work.

  • i find it almost impossible to run all 3 auras at once in combat, after fighting a player for a good 20 seconds the other two auras fade and i am left only running one out of the three auras. im guessing im running into GCD issues, but what is the point of running three auras if it cant be done in combat. plz help

    I have the same problem. I don't think its the MOD. I find it happens when using other skills, and from lag. Even though aura's dont cause the GCD, they cannot be cast at the same time as abilities.
