Addons

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

613.5M downloads

Works in Midnight Updated 1 May 2026

Boss timers tell you when movement mechanics arrive so you can align Coordinated Assault before stationary windows rather than losing it mid-forced reposition. Pull countdowns also let you pre-apply Wildfire Bomb before the tank engages for immediate bleed uptime from the start of the fight.

GTFO

Advanced Ground effect alerts

95.9M downloads

Works in Midnight Updated 1 May 2026

For Survival Hunter in melee range, you're often the last to notice ground effects under a boss — the audio cue gives you a reaction window to use Harpoon or Disengage to escape without losing your Kill Command window. Install knowing it's significantly more limited than pre-Midnight — it covers specific tracked boss mechanics only, not general ground effects.

Platynator

Nameplates

9.5M downloads

Works in Midnight Updated 20 Apr 2026

Platynator adds cast bars directly to enemy nameplates and shows your interrupt cooldown alongside each mob. For Survival Hunter, Counter Shot is your only interrupt and it has a 24-second cooldown — Platynator ensures you're using it on the most dangerous cast rather than the nearest one.

Targeted casts

Works in Midnight Updated 2 May 2026

Visual and audio alert when a dangerous ability targets you — for Survival Hunter in melee range, incoming targeting circles are harder to see, making the audio cue critical for knowing when to pop Aspect of the Turtle or Feign Death in time. In raid it gives you the reaction window before a boss ability's cast completes.

Works in Midnight Updated 27 Feb 2026

Tracks group cooldowns from the combat log — for Survival Hunter, the highest-value visibility is Heroism/Bloodlust so you can hold Coordinated Assault for the lust window for maximum burst. Also shows interrupt coverage so you know whether to spend Counter Shot or let another player cover the kick.

TrufiGCD

Advanced GCD timeline

1.3M downloads

Works in Midnight Updated 1 Mar 2026

TrufiGCD records your GCD usage as a scrolling timeline you can review after a pull. For Survival Hunter, the two main failure modes it catches are Focus capping — spending GCDs on Raptor Strike filler when Kill Command is coming off cooldown — and Wildfire Bomb delay, where you're letting Bomb sit at full charges while spending GCDs on other abilities.

Works in Midnight Updated 1 May 2026

BetterBlizzFrames enhances the default Blizzard unit frames rather than replacing them. For Survival Hunter, a target castbar tells you when to use Kill Command or whether to gap-close with Harpoon before a dangerous cast completes.
