(The aura requires at least 2 stacks to glow just in case you are using the Glyph of Mana Tea, which is generally something we would not do.) If I have at least 2 stacks and I am at 85% Mana or less, the aura will show a gold glow around it to suggest that this would be a good time to use Mana Tea. This aura will show a grey icon when I have no stacks, and will then display a full-color icon anytime I have 1 or more stacks. In addition to using Vex Power to track Mana and Chi, I also use a WeakAura to keep track of my stacks of Mana Tea. Then click New, Import, and paste the string into the text box in-game. To import an aura, copy the string from the boxes below. To use any of my auras, you will need to download the addon, enable it, and then log in to WoW and type /wa to bring up the WeakAuras interface. The appearance of these WeakAuras is heavily based upon Sunnier’s Brewmaster auras, which you should absolutely pick up if you are planning on doing any tanking with your Monk. Vex Power – The blue bar is my Mana and the green squares are my Chi.

I change very little from the defaults, except to reposition/recolor the bars, and change Mana to display as both a percentage and the exact amount remaining: It’s very simple to set up and isn’t especially flashy, but it makes it extremely easy for me to see exactly how much Mana and Chi I have at any point during a fight.

The add-on that I use for Mana and Chi tracking is Vex Power.

Your default UI will of course show this, but I prefer something that calls it to my attention in a particularly obvious way. The other addons you can see in this image are Vex Power, for managing Mana and Chi, and WeakAuras for tracking cooldowns.Īs you can probably imagine from the Chi & Mana post, it is pretty darn important for you to know the status of your Mana and Chi at all times. Shadowed Unit Frames is more or less ready to go out of the box, and I will not discuss it in this post as it is not particular to my Mistweaver setup.

I use Shadowed Unit Frames to manage my unit frames, as seen in the player and target portraits above.
