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.

Soul Harvester Mythic+

Soul Harvester

Alternative M+ build for priority-target keys — Soul Harvester with enhanced Drain Soul execute and accelerated Soul Shard generation. Stronger than Hellcaller on keys where single dangerous targets need to die fast.

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

Boss timers

194.0M downloads

Works in Midnight Updated 20 May 2026

For Affliction Warlock, precise timer accuracy means you can pre-stack Unstable Affliction before a burn phase knowing exactly when it starts, and hold Darkglare off a mechanic knowing exactly how many seconds remain before it's safe to spend. LittleWigs is required for dungeon boss modules — install both.

GTFO

Advanced Ground effect alerts

95.9M downloads

Works in Midnight Updated 1 May 2026

For Affliction Warlock, maintaining DoT uptime while repositioning is the core tension — the audio alarm fires passively so you can react without shifting attention away from Soul Shard management and DoT refresh timing. Install knowing it's significantly more limited than pre-Midnight — it covers specific tracked boss mechanics only, not general ground effects.

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 2

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.

TargetedSpells

Targeted casts

743.8K downloads

Works in Midnight Updated 2 May 2026

Visual and audio alert when an enemy targets a dangerous ability at you, giving you the reaction window to spend Unending Resolve on a genuinely dangerous hit rather than reacting too late. Also useful for knowing when to reposition without breaking a Malefic Rapture cast.

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.

Advanced GCD timeline

Scrolling timeline of your recent cast history with GCD gaps visible. Shows Soul Shard overcapping as gaps where a Malefic Rapture should have been, and Nightfall procs expiring unused during spam windows.

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.

Mythic Dungeon Tools

Dungeon maps

93.8M downloads

Works in Midnight Updated 20 May 2026

MDT shows the full dungeon map with enemy positions, patrol routes, and force percentages. For Affliction Warlock, the value is identifying packs large enough to make Vile Taint worth using for instant Agony spread, pre-planning Demonic Gateway placement so it covers the dungeon's key movement routes, and flagging caster-heavy packs where Spell Lock pre-assignment makes sense.
