How to track Wailing Arrow?

Hey guys,

I’m having a few issues with Wailing Arrow.

  1. When reaching 20 stacks my Aimed Shot button changes and is highlighted as normal, but I recieve no buff. This way, how can I track it with WeakAuras? I’d like to have a spell alert for it.

  2. The button switches for just a few seconds, and if I don’t use it seems the switch is lost (meaning I have to start fro stack 0 again). Is this correct? I mean, it’s really disapointing to lose your entire stacks just because you don’t want to use it immediately. I don’t even know how long can I wait since there is no buff to informe it.

Looked into if there was a Weakauras tracker, but nothing yet. Only ones for SL so far.

Im confused what the issue is - all that happens is your next aimed shot is a wailing shot instead - there is nothing to track, you dont do anything different, you just do the normal basic rotation and if wailing shot is up when you hit the button you get a wailing shot instead of an aimed shot.

You dont DO anything.

Wailing Arrow has a duration. If it’s not used within like 15 seconds, you lose the proc.

However, as there’s no buff, we have no way to track how long it is. So if you’re at 18/19 stacks, and a group is about to die, but you won’t engage the next group within that time limit, it’s better to just use multi shot and save wailing for the next group.

However, with no way to track the time limit, we have to guess. which for me has led to quite a few lost wailing arrows.

I’m not at my computer ATM but you’d want a weakauras that tracks successful casts under triggers (probably spells/cooldowns> combat log)
and have it track the amount of aimed shots
only problem is that you have to reload or something, it’ll probably throw off the counter due to how weakauras keeps track of things
there’s a lot of annoying limitations that inherently make it annoying to track buffless buffs like this
ill give it a look and see if i can come up with something

That, and the fact despite saying they fixed it, there’s still a lot of Aimed Shots that aren’t triggering Wind Arrows. And when under Trueshot, it’s supposed to generate even more arrows, but sometimes it just generates the 2.

It’s just such a buggy system.

It’s incredibly fun when it works though.

yeah, i gave it a good try but i genuinely cannot create one i’m satisfied with, much less one i’m satisfied with sharing
this is dumb

Ah OK I see the issue. I made a WA in DF S2 that tracked the old version and had various light up effects for when the next one would trigger depending on your build - I’ll see if I can modify it to work with the new one and post back if I can.

Hi, such a Weakaura exists, and it tracks the stacks up to 20 and then shows a big Wailing arrow icon.

You can download “Luxthos hunter” from wago io which is a huge package of hunter auras, and then if you don’t want them all, just copy the ones that you need (f.e. the wailing arrow tracker)

OK I made one that shows Wind Arrows counting to 20 then shows the Wailing Arrow Icon with a glow and plays a sound when it procs.

I cant post links so just delete the space:

wago. io/Hj9-V89tb

There is a weak aura that tracks the wailing aura build-up. It is called Wailling arrow progress bar; search it in wago .io

OK Ive finally had a chance to sit down and solve this part - the website was glitching out when I tried to update my old one so I just removed and reuploaded it.

The new Weak Aura should a) Show Wind Arrow stacks as they build, b) Switch to a big glowy Wailing Arrow icon when it procs and c) Begin a countdown timer for the proc window.

When you cast Wailing Arrow or the proc drops it should switch back to showing you the current stacks,

wago. io/Hj9-V89tb

Wailing Arrow should be relegated to its own button when it pops up so we aren’t forced to use it at an inopportune time.
