Per-spell breakdown across the fight — for Beast Mastery, pet uptime and Barbed Shot tick count are the first things to check when damage looks low, and Details! surfaces those without needing to export a log. Also surfaces Misdirection usage history in the cast breakdown.

Cast bars and debuff icons on enemy nameplates — for Beast Mastery Hunter, the main M+ value is spotting castable interrupts for Counter Shot and tracking which targets have Barbed Shot active in multi-DoT situations on large packs. More performant than Plater for players who don't need heavy scripting.

Tracks group cooldowns from the combat log — for BM Hunter, most useful for seeing when healer defensives are available for safe Misdirection timing and when group kicks are on cooldown so Intimidation needs to cover an interrupt gap. Also shows Heroism/Bloodlust cooldown so you know when to hold Bestial Wrath for the lust window.

Configurable timers for your major cooldowns on screen. Tracks Bestial Wrath, Bloodshed, and Aspect of the Wild together so you don't spend Bloodshed seconds before Bestial Wrath comes back and miss the aligned burst window.

Highlights the next optimal ability based on your current Focus level, proc state, and cooldown availability — keeps Barbed Shot up for Frenzy stacks and Kill Command pressing on time. Useful for players new to BM or returning after a break; once the rotation is internalised you can remove it.

Countdown bars for your active effects — Bestial Wrath's 15-second window, Barbed Shot's Frenzy stack duration, and pet cooldowns — showing exactly how long each buff lasts rather than what to press next. Knowing you have 4 seconds left in Bestial Wrath vs 12 completely changes whether to spend a Kill Command now, and clipping Barbed Shot precisely rather than guessing is what keeps Frenzy from dropping.

BetterBlizzFrames keeps the default UI layout intact while adding the things it lacks: castbars on your target and focus frames, class color health bars, and absorb tracking. For Beast Mastery Hunter, a target castbar lets you see when a dangerous spell is being cast so you know when to use Counter Shot or Intimidation.

Dominos gives you full control over action bar layout — move, resize, and add extra bars. For Beast Mastery Hunter, a dedicated utility bar keeps Feign Death, Aspect of the Turtle, Misdirection, Tranquilizing Shot, and Exhilaration at a consistent visible location so they're not buried in a crowded main bar.

Watches pet health and stance in real time and fires an alert the moment your pet dies or goes passive, before the GCD window closes where you could resurrect. Also tracks Kill Command resets from Beast Cleave and Barbed Shot's Frenzy stack duration — the two procs BM players most commonly waste.
