[:1]Ok, I've done some perusing through different sites, and I cannot seem to find an add-on with a HUD that'll display my attack power, let alone my armor pen coupled in with it, and perhaps even haste. I didn't think I'd find one with all 3, but I thought I could at least find one with attack power(as it's fairly easy to recognize when BL or Needle Encrusted Scorpion are up/fall off just by glancing at my buff HUD). It really doesn't need to be very complex, a small box with my current value(s).
Does anyone currently use an up to date add-on that can fulfill this need? Or, would it be possible for someone to write such an add-on? Not sure how complex it would be as I'm not versed in add-on artistry. I've had more than a few people tell me to let them know if I find such and add-on, so there seems to be interest. There's interest in such an add-on that would show spell power as well.
I really hate having my character screen blocking my party/raid group while raiding just so i can reference this information before I blow DRW. Thanks guys.|||If I understand you correctly, you want an addon that shows comparisons between loot and your equiped gear in terms of different stats. If so, the game already does this so there's no need for such an addon.|||Quote:

No, I'm pretty sure it's a "I need to know this before I blow a major cooldown, where can I find the addon for it?" question, I just don't quite get what they're looking for either.|||Power Auras Classic might be what you're looking for - you can set it up to show when buffs activate by showing somekind of symbology around your character. I use to show when Art of War procs on my Pala, and when I have Slice 'n' Dice active on my Rogue.|||Yeah this is along the lines of knowing when buffs at any given time have an effect on your ARP or AP. Might look into some sub addons. Like plugins for different huds to have this advanced effect. Ice Hud shows your HP, Mana, Rage, or energy in arcs on screen in your face. There might be a way to post active stat reading directly below the arc. I thought I have seen this before. Will check when I get back to laptop.|||It's not that I want to keep track of certain buffs/procs, it's that I want to keep track of the lump sum of all my buffs as they pertain to attack power and armor pen specifically. I found one called tinymeleestats, and it works for attack power, crit strike, and haste but doesn't track armor pen values. It keeps track of current values, and highest value(record stat). The record stat for attack power is a lot more useful that I had thought it would be because it gives me a reference point to a "fully buffed/proc'd" attack power value.
The problem is, and I've talked to the developer of it, it's no longer maintained as he's stopped playing wow. I load it out of date, but it seems to me that a future patch will undoubtedly break the addon. If I could find one that is up to date that would be awesome. I've downloaded the 2 you've suggested Aerath and I'll try them out when I get in game next. Thanks for all your help guys(and chix)!
*EDIT* I've checked onscreenstatsdisplay, and it's a nice tool, but also out of date and has no armor pen. It only tracks one stat. It would have worked well coupled with tinymeleestats if it did track ar pen, but hey such is life. LOL! Thanks for the reference to it though! Again thanks for all your help everyone!|||DrDamage, there's a new one up on a site we can't link to. It gives you 100% of all information you need, and more.
Tells you how much damage/healing/whatever. If you're looking for something to tell you exactly what % it's giving you, go for RatingBuster.|||I must have not been as articulate as necessary previously, because quite a few of you seem to misunderstand what it is that I'm looking for.
What I'm after is an addon that keeps track of current values in a little Heads Up Display on screen in order to properly identify when it's optimal to blow Hysteria+Hyperspeed Accelerators+Potion of Speed+Dancing Rune Weapon. When I have more attack power/Armor Penetration procs up the DRW keeps all of those buffs on itself for it's duration, but it does not get any of the benefit from procs that occur after I blow it. So Something that will tell me attack power and armor pen would be really nice when trying to maximize it's damage.
I'm not after a tool tip addon to help me weigh stats; but thank you Mazhulsage, for the suggestion. DrDamage looks like a great addon... I currently use RatingsBuster, but I might just switch.
Again, thanks guys for your input/help, it's very appreciated.|||Very late reply but...
I use both RatingsBuster and DrDamage, both work very well together in my opinion.
I hope you find what you're looking for though.|||LiteStats can do both jobs but you'll need to
1. Get the base addon (LitePanels) since it's a plugin.
2. Configure tags for AP and ArP yourself (read the documentation).
If you need some help with it* post back here where you're stuck.
* shouldn't take you more than 10mins if you read the addon description and the comments in config_default.lua file of the addon and you only have to do it once.
