Blizzard's Midnight API restricts addon access to your personal buffs and cooldowns during M+ and raid — the exact content where aura tracking matters most. The addons listed here work within these restrictions and cover what WeakAuras used to handle.

Addons

Why no WeakAuras? Midnight's API blocks WeakAuras from reading your buffs and cooldowns. The addons here cover what it used to handle.

Meters & logs 1

Details! Damage Meter

DPS meter

613.5M downloads

Works in Midnight Updated 1 May 2026

Per-spell breakdown across the fight. Malefic Rapture should be your highest-damage source — if Agony or Corruption lead instead you're capping Soul Shards without spending them, and low Darkglare contribution means DoTs weren't fully stacked when the cooldown was used.

Nameplates & DoT tracking 1

Platynator

DoT timers

9.5M downloads

Works in Midnight Updated 20 Apr 2026

Debuff timers on enemy nameplates so you can see which target needs a DoT refresh without tab-targeting. Across multiple targets this is the difference between clean Corruption/Agony/UA maintenance and accidentally dropping a DoT on the wrong target.

Cooldowns & tracking 2

OmniCD

Darkglare alignment

33.4M downloads

Works in Midnight Updated 27 Feb 2026

Tracks group cooldowns from the combat log — knowing when Bloodlust and external DPS buffs are available helps align Darkglare into the group burst window rather than burning it when nothing else is active. Also tracks kick cooldowns so your Spell Lock covers interrupt gaps.

BetterCooldownManager

Personal cooldowns

938.2K downloads

Works in Midnight Updated 15 Mar 2026

Configurable timers for your major cooldowns on screen. Tracks Darkglare (2 min) and Soul Rot so you know the exact return timer and don't accidentally spend Darkglare into a half-stacked DoT window.

Rotation helper 1

MaxDps

Next ability highlight

5.8M downloads

Works in Midnight Updated 1 Apr 2026

Highlights when to refresh DoTs versus spend Shards on Malefic Rapture, and flags Nightfall procs that should be consumed before expiring. Most useful while learning DoT refresh thresholds — refreshing too early wastes partial ticks, too late loses Soul Shard generation.

Frames & Action Bars 3

BetterBlizzFrames

Unit frames

4.8M downloads

Works in Midnight Updated 1 May 2026

BetterBlizzFrames enhances the default Blizzard unit frames rather than replacing them. For Affliction Warlock, the value is keeping Soul Shard count and DoT buff timers visible at a consistent position without committing to a full UI replacement.

Dominos

Action bars

22.2M downloads

Works in Midnight Updated 10 May 2026

Dominos gives you full control over action bar layout. For Affliction Warlock, a dedicated cooldown bar keeps Darkglare, Soul Rot, and Unending Resolve at consistent visible positions so your main bar stays focused on DoT applications and Malefic Rapture spam.

ElvUI

Advanced Unit frames

Tukui.org addon

Works in Midnight Updated 15 May 2026

Most of what ElvUI covers for Affliction Warlock is better handled by BetterBlizzFrames (frames), Dominos (action bars), and Platynator (nameplates with DoT timers). Only install if you want a fully unified UI aesthetic and are prepared for the configuration overhead.

Utility & QoL 3

Leatrix Plus

Auto repair

63.9M downloads

Works in Midnight Updated 10 Mar 2026

Leatrix Plus handles the small overhead: auto-repair at vendors, auto-sell grey items, remove NPC dialogue delays, block duel requests. Install once, configure in 5 minutes.

Pawn

Upgrade arrows

125.6M downloads

Works in Midnight Updated 1 Mar 2026

Adds an upgrade arrow to item tooltips based on your stat weights. For Affliction Warlock, highlights Mastery (Potent Afflictions) gear — it amplifies all DoT damage and scales with multiple active DoTs per target — without needing to sim every drop.
