I’ve been building FlashHUD, a Hunter addon for WoW Forever. It started as an ammo counter and grew into a toolkit for combat timing, cooldowns, pet care, alerts and everyday conveniences.
After a lot of development, in-game testing and player feedback, 2.0.0 is ready for live 4th nov! The screenshots above show the combat HUD, Mend Pet reminders, Tracking wheel, spell-rank checker and available themes.
The part I’ve put the most effort into is making it easy to customize. Open a feature’s settings, hold Alt to see where you’re editing, and move it into place. There are previews throughout the menu, magnetic alignment, Ctrl+Z/Ctrl+Y undo and redo, and searchable settings.
What does it offer?
- Combat timers: Auto Shot, cast/channel, melee swing and mana, with configurable shot guides, latency display and five-second-rule cues.
- Cooldown tracking: three customizable rows for spells, pet abilities and usable items, with separate specialization layouts.
- PetHUD: health, Focus, happiness, feeding tools, food reminders and pet debuffs. Call, Dismiss and Revive share one button/keybind.
- Mend Pet reminders: range and mana states, with customizable text, colours and icon tint.
- Hunter indicators and alerts: Aspects, Hunter’s Mark, Summon Hawk, missing pet, low ammo, durability, Feign Death resisted and much more.
- Smart Traps: separate countdowns for armed traps and active effects.
- Action wheels: Tracking, Aspects and custom wheels for the actions you want within reach.
- Spell-rank checking: warnings and action-button highlights for lower ranks left on your bars after training.
- Everyday tools: optional auto-repair, grey-junk selling, ammo restocking with purchase confirmation, weapon-training hints and a duel countdown.
- Statistics: recorded character, pet, profession, travel and other activity.
- Your own layout: Quick or Advanced setup, saved profiles, sharing, six themes and individually selectable features.
Why give it a try?
If you keep looking around your screen for your pet’s health, shot timer, cooldowns and warnings, FlashHUD lets you bring those tools together wherever they’re easiest to follow.
You can keep it simple or build a fuller HUD around the features you use. The included Hunter layout gives you somewhere to start, and the settings let you make it your own.
Already using FlashHUD? Your saved settings and keybinds carry over—no reset needed.
I’d love to hear what other Hunters think. Found a bug, missing something, or have an idea? Come join us in The Hunting Grounds and post in the FlashHUD forum. If the idea fits and the client supports it, let’s see what we can make happen. 🙂
