Addon Release / Update Action Combat Mode has been updated for Forever. Lots of new additions in v5.
This has been in development for close to 10 years, and at its core, transforms WoW from a traditional tab-targeting MMO into an action-combat game with Reticle Targeting, Click Casting, Mouse Look, and a ton of other features that help push the moment-to-moment gameplay of WoW towards that action-combat vision.
You can cycle through the GIFs in the gallery for visual explanations of all it does. It's grown into a very feature-rich addon over the years that I'm super proud of, and I'd love for you to give it a try!

Disclaimer: ACM is not vibe-coded slop. It's been in development since 2017, with the two leading devs - myself and thericgames - having a combined 30 years of Software Engineering experience under our belts. Some of you may also recognize my username from previous contributions to the addon dev community, going all the way back to 2016, like HeyBarbaruivaUI. But the nature of Software Engineering has changed, and AI use has become inevitable, as it speeds up the process so much, so AI has been applied responsibly to the project with proper supervision within the last year, with the bulk of its work being done on the GUI. Rest assured, all the core features and 95% of what's here were coded by hand long before the first version of ChatGPT hit the market. And, like I said, 30+ years of SWE experience behind this project.
