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.

Arena & Battlegrounds 7

MiniCC

CC notifications

2.8M downloads

Works in Midnight Updated 8 Jun 2026

The Midnight all-in-one PvP addon — CC on party frames, audio alerts for major enemy spells, kick timers on nameplates, and a sound when the enemy healer gets CCd. For Affliction Warlock, healer CC means your Unstable Affliction and Agony stack can tick freely without a dispel landing — hold Nightfall procs for this window.

sArena Reloaded

Arena only Arena frames

1.5M downloads

Works in Midnight Updated 7 Jun 2026

Explicitly labelled Midnight ready. Shows enemy health, mana, cast bars, and DR status — see at a glance whether your Fear lands full or 50% DR. The enemy healer's cast bar is your Curse of Tongues interrupt cue; slowing their big heals while Unstable Affliction ticks closes kill windows.

BigDebuffs

CC debuffs

23.3M downloads

Works in Midnight Updated 27 Mar 2026

Replaces the small debuff icon on unit frames with a full-size portrait icon when CC or major defensives land. Key use for Affliction Warlock: seeing Cloak of Shadows or Ice Block before you cast Unstable Affliction — the DoT is immune and wasted, and a Cloak UA purge will silence you if it was already ticking.

Requires: Standalone addon · CurseForge

DontCast

Immune buff warning

310.5K downloads

Works in Midnight Updated 9 May 2026

Warns when your target is immune — Ice Block, Cloak of Shadows, Divine Shield, or Aspect of the Turtle. Casting Unstable Affliction into Cloak of Shadows doesn't just waste the GCD — the silence on purge comes back on you. DontCast prevents this by flagging the immune window before you cast.

Enemy healer marking

7.8M downloads

Works in Midnight Updated 24 Jan 2026

Places a healer icon above every enemy healer's nameplate for instant identification. Also alerts you when your own healer is taking damage — your cue to Fear the attacker or use Howl of Terror to peel, giving your healer space to recover while your DoTs continue ticking.

BattleGroundEnemies Fixed

Battlegrounds only BG enemy frames

507.2K downloads

Works in Midnight Updated 8 Jun 2026

Scrollable panel showing all enemy players in a Battleground — health, debuffs, cast info. For Affliction Warlock, use it to identify which enemies have full DoT stacks ticking and which healers are casting — lets you prioritize Fear and Curse of Tongues targets across the whole Battleground. For Arena, use sArena Reloaded instead.

Capping

Battlegrounds only BG objective timers

10.5M downloads

Works in Midnight Updated 13 Apr 2026

Shows node contest timers, flag return countdowns, and capture progress in Battlegrounds. Affliction Warlock's sustained DoT pressure is excellent for defending nodes — Capping tells you when a capture is about to complete so you can Fear the attacker and interrupt the cap with your own free-cast pressure.

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.

BetterBlizzPlates

Class icons

4.1M downloads

Works in Midnight Updated 8 Apr 2026

Shows class icons on enemy nameplates and enhanced debuff display — important for Affliction Warlock to track which targets have Agony, Corruption, and Unstable Affliction ticking in multi-target Battleground scenarios. Quickly identifies which enemies need DoT refresh vs. which need the fear.

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.

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.

Tracks: Unit frames · Action bars · Nameplates · Full UI replacement
