## What it is
WeakAuras is a World of Warcraft addon providing a powerful, flexible framework for displaying highly customizable graphics on the game's UI, such as buffs, debuffs, cooldowns, and progress bars. It supports a wide range of triggers, animations, custom Lua scripting, and community-shared auras via Wago.io.

## Use cases
- track buff and debuff durations with progress bars in WoW
- display custom alerts when cooldowns are ready
- build custom HUD elements for my WoW interface
- show health, mana, or resource triggers on screen
- import pre-made auras from Wago.io
- play sounds or chat announcements on combat events
- create animated stop-motion textures in the game UI

## When to choose
- you play World of Warcraft and want customizable on-screen indicators for auras, cooldowns, or resources
- you need a lightweight, CPU-efficient alternative to Power Auras
- you want Lua-scriptable custom triggers and animations
- you want to share or import community aura configurations

## When to avoid
- you need UI customization for a game other than World of Warcraft
- you want a simple, pre-configured UI without learning a configuration framework
- you are not willing to invest time in configuring triggers and displays
