Boss timers

Works in Midnight Updated 1 May 2026

Boss timers tell you when to hold Demonic Tyrant — your primary cooldown — off a mechanic that forces movement or kills active Wild Imps mid-window. Pre-stacking Hand of Gul'dan imps before the burn phase ensures Tyrant lands with a full army active.

Advanced Ground effect alerts

95.9M downloads

Works in Midnight Updated 1 May 2026

For Demonology Warlock, the risk is losing active Wild Imps to a ground effect during Demonic Tyrant's buff window — imps that die mid-Tyrant significantly reduce your burst output. The audio alarm fires early enough to step out before imps are lost. Install knowing it's significantly more limited than pre-Midnight — it covers specific tracked boss mechanics only, not general ground effects.

Per-spell and per-pet damage breakdown. If Wild Imp contribution is low, you're not maintaining Hand of Gul'dan or letting Tyrant expire with few imps active — also check Demonic Tyrant's burst share and Demonbolt for consistent Demonic Core usage without overcapping.

Cast bars and debuff icons on enemy nameplates — shows which enemies have your active DoT effects and when they fall off, without tab-targeting. For Demonology Warlock, keeping corruption effects ticking on multiple targets maintains Soul Shard generation between Hand of Gul'dan casts, and cast bars on enemy nameplates surface the interrupt targets for Spell Lock before a dangerous cast lands.

TargetedSpells fires a visible and audio alert when an enemy starts casting a dangerous ability at you specifically. For Demonology Warlock, Unending Resolve halves incoming damage on a 3-minute cooldown — the alert fires during the cast so you can spend it on a genuinely dangerous targeted ability rather than reacting too late or burning it on something ignorable.

Works in Midnight Updated 27 Feb 2026

Tracks group cooldowns from the combat log — for Demonology Warlock, helps align Demonic Tyrant with Bloodlust and external DPS buffs so the burst window lands with the group rather than isolated. Also tracks kick cooldowns so your Spell Lock covers interrupt gaps rather than doubling up.

Configurable timers for your major cooldowns on screen. For Demonology Warlock, shows when Demonic Tyrant, Power Siphon, and Unending Resolve return — the exact Tyrant timer prevents spending it into a low-imp window and lets you align the next burst with a full army.

Soulstone assignment

Works in Midnight Updated 10 Apr 2026

Displays raid assignments on-screen — for Demonology Warlock, Soulstone assignment is a critical raid role, and knowing in advance which healer is your target prevents two Warlocks covering the same player. Also shows when the DPS cooldown chain starts so you pre-stack Hand of Gul'dan before the signal rather than losing the first seconds of Demonic Tyrant to summoning.

Works in Midnight Updated 1 May 2026

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

Dominos gives you full control over action bar layout. For Demonology Warlock, a dedicated cooldown bar keeps Demonic Tyrant, Summon Felguard, and Power Siphon at consistent visible positions near the centre of the screen so your main bar stays focused on Hand of Gul'dan and Demonbolt without cooldown icons pushing the layout outward.

Adds every player's Mythic+ score and raid progression to their tooltip. As Demonology Warlock, your group value includes Soulstone, Demonic Gateway, and Healthstones on top of AoE burst — checking group scores before a pull tells you how much the utility side of your kit needs to compensate, and whether your Tyrant windows can land on schedule or need to adapt around a lower-experience group.
