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.

Compositions

Spellslinger Battleground Blitz

Spellslinger

Battleground Blitz build — Spellslinger tuned for faster BGB engagements with adjusted talents for more consistent Shatter procs across shorter fights. Better sustained multi-target freeze and CC coverage in grouped Battleground encounters.

Custom build

Record your own talent build alongside your addons — it's included when you share your setup. Get a talent string from the Wowhead talent calculator or export directly from the in-game talent tree (press N → share icon). Paste the URL or the raw string — both work.

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 Frost Mage, healer CC means Deep Freeze is open — set up Ice Nova into Ice Lance Shatter chain while the healer is locked out.

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 if your Polymorph lands full or 50% DR. The healer's cast bar is your Counterspell cue; catching a big heal while a Shatter combo is set up is the kill window.

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 Frost Mage: seeing Ice Block, Divine Shield, or Cloak of Shadows before attempting a Shatter — you can't Shatter through immunity and Deep Freeze charges are wasted.

Tracks: CC debuffs · Defensive cooldowns · Frame debuff icons
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. Wasting Deep Freeze or a Shatter chain on an immune target is a full DR cycle and multiple GCDs lost with nothing to show for it. DontCast catches it before the combo starts.

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 Polymorph the attacker or drop Ring of Frost to give your healer the window to drink or top up.

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. Use it to spot targets with no defensives for Shatter follow-up, find healers to identify the kill target, and track active CCs across the group. 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. Tells you when to break off a fight and defend, or when a node flip is seconds away. No use in Arena.

Details! Damage Meter

Damage meters

345.4M downloads

Works in Midnight Updated 10 May 2026

Per-spell breakdown across the fight. Low Icy Veins window contribution means you're either losing casts or dropping proc chains — Glacial Spike share in single-target shows whether you're charging and timing it correctly.

Nameplates & interrupts 2

Platynator

Nameplates

9.5M downloads

Works in Midnight Updated 20 Apr 2026

Cast bars and debuff icons on enemy nameplates. The key use is seeing Winter's Chill active on targets — the Flurry debuff that makes Ice Lance shatter for massive crits — and spotting interruptible casts for Counterspell.

BetterBlizzPlates

Class icons

4.1M downloads

Works in Midnight Updated 8 Apr 2026

Shows class icons on enemy nameplates for instant target identification. CC glow highlights incapacitated enemies — timing a Shatter chain into Deep Freeze is much cleaner when you can see at a glance which enemy is frozen and for how long.

Cooldowns & tracking 2

OmniCD

Group cooldowns

33.4M downloads

Works in Midnight Updated 27 Feb 2026

Tracks group cooldowns from the combat log — Bloodlust tracking is the main use for Frost Mage. Hold Icy Veins for the lust window rather than burning it on a filler pull, and cover interrupt gaps with Counterspell rather than doubling up.

Tracks: Group cooldowns · Kicks · Defensives · Heroism tracking

BetterCooldownManager

Personal cooldowns

938.2K downloads

Works in Midnight Updated 15 Mar 2026

Configurable timers for your major cooldowns. Tracks Icy Veins (2 min) and Frozen Orb (1 min) so you enter the burst window with both aligned — Orb on open generates extra FoF procs and entering Icy Veins without it is a significant loss.

Frames & Action Bars 3

BetterBlizzFrames

Unit frames

6.1M downloads

Works in Midnight Updated 17 May 2026

BetterBlizzFrames keeps the default UI intact while adding the things it lacks: castbars on your target and focus frames, class color health bars, and absorb tracking. For Frost Mage, a target castbar lets you see when a dangerous spell is being cast in M+ — giving you the cue to use Counterspell or Spellsteal. A one-addon upgrade with no layout overhead.

Tracks: Unit frames · Castbars · Class color bars · Counterspell timing

Dominos

Action bars

22.2M downloads

Works in Midnight Updated 10 May 2026

Dominos gives you full control over action bar layout. For Frost Mage, a dedicated utility bar keeps Counterspell, Ice Block, Blink, Shimmer, Spellsteal, and Alter Time at consistent accessible positions so your main bar stays focused on the Shatter proc chain.

Tracks: Action bars · Bar positioning · Button sizing · Fade out of combat

ElvUI

Advanced Unit frames

Tukui.org addon

Works in Midnight Updated 15 May 2026

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