Stats Mini

Summary

The point of this Aura is to display essential and/or interesting stats while taking up as little of your valuable screen space as possible.

Features that keep this Aura "mini":

• Extremely slim: only 6 columns (letters) wide.
  
• Perfect vertical alignment of the block when used with a monospaced font (see Setup & Tips for more on this).
  
• Any stats that are not considered essential can be turned off.
  
• Zero-value stats are never displayed, attack power is conditionally displayed.
  
• Some stats have a context-dependent "actual" variant (e.g. armor vs. current target) that dynamically replaces the stat line, i.e. does not take up extra space.
  
• No unnecessary decimal points.
  

The point of this Aura is not to display every single stat available.

You find the main options of the Aura in the Custom Options tab.

Description

[Version: 1.3.3; 2023-03-12]

The stats are divided into five groups:

• Levels
  
• Primary stats
  
• Secondary stats
  
• Defensives
  
• Speed-related
  

Groups are separated by a separator line (customizable in Options). Each stat is shown on a separate line and consists of a label and the value.

To keep this thing as tiny as possible, labels are abbreviated to one letter; decimal places are only used where it makes sense, and mostly limited to one. Unit symbols are omitted.

Here the key:

l  Char Level -- Enable/disable in Options
o  Overall Avg Item Level -- Enable/disable in Options
e  Equipped Avg Item Level -- Enable/disable in Options
–  Diff of Equipped/Overall -- Enable/disable in Options; the "–" label means 'minus'
----------
m  Main Stat -- Spec-specific
s  Stamina -- Enable/disable in Options
a  Attack Power, conditionally displayed -- Enable/disable in Options
----------
c  Crit [percent]
h  Haste [percent]
m  Mastery [percent]
v  Versatility [percent]
----------
l  Leech [percent] -- Only if > 0
a  Armor [percent] / Actual Armor [percent] -- See Options
b  Block [percent] / Actual Block [percent] -- See Options; only if > 0
d  Dodge [percent] -- Only if > 0
p  Parry [percent] -- Only if > 0
a  Avoidance [percent] -- Only if > 0
----------
g  Global Cooldown [seconds] -- Enable/disable in Options
s  Speed Rating -- Enable/disable in Options
r  Run Speed / Actual Move Speed [percent] -- See Options

You can change the labels to uppercase in the Custom Options.
Also in Options, you find more info for many of the stats (tooltips!), and you also can enable/disable them there.

The core stat values (not Levels and GCD) are derived from WeakAuras' built-in functions. This means, this Aura is pretty much as efficient as WeakAuras itself, and is less likely to be broken by future Blizz API changes (as long as WeakAuras itself is updated, of course).

The GCD and the Levels group are new additions, and should be considered beta. Please report any issues you find. These stats can be disabled entirely in the Options, so I think the "Mini" in the Aura's name is still OK ;)

A note on the GCD display:

The displayed GCD is based on the current class and/or spec, or Druid form, and haste-modified if applicable.

However, there are some "cross-spec" skills that trigger the GCD of the other spec:
For example, using a genuinely Feral ability while in Bear form might use the Cat GCD (1.0s) instead of the Bear one. Or using a healing spell as Windwalker might trigger the Mistweaver GCD (base 1.5s), instead of the 1.0s of Windwalker.

These skill-specific GCD anomalies are not reflected in the display.

Setup & Tips

Stats Mini is designed to be tacked to the left or right edge of your screen (or to the edge of your chat frame, if it is high enough, or to some other vertical element of your UI, you get the idea).

Stats Mini is designed to be used with a monospaced font! (Aka fixed-width font; for example PT Mono, Inconsolatas, Letter Gothic, etc.; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monospaced_font)

If you use it with a proportional font, the vertical right-alignment of the values will be ruined, resulting in a very unpleasant, potentially traumatic, aesthetic experience! So, do yourself a favor and use a monospaced font, please.

The default font of the Aura is PT Mono in 10pt. (If you need even better readability, PT Mono Bold looks great here too. BTW, the whole PT font family is a great choice to replace Blizz's standard UI fonts. The font is free.). If PT Mono is not available in your WoW UI, then set your desired font in the Display section of the Aura. You can install additional fonts via addons like SharedMediaAdditionalFonts or by other means. Did I mention that you should use a monospaced font?

Also in the Display section of the Aura, you can set font size and base color (for labels and separators). For other colors, see Actions > On Init > Custom. (You find a link there for additional color constants; you can also use freestyle hex colors.)

You find the main options of the Aura in the Custom Options tab.
