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.

Why no WeakAuras? Midnight's API blocks WeakAuras from reading your buffs and cooldowns. The addons here cover what it used to handle.

MiniCC

CC notifications

2.8M downloads

Works in Midnight Updated 29 Apr 2026

Tracks every enemy CC and DR — Windwalker's Leg Sweep is a 2-second AoE stun on a 45-second cooldown. Knowing DR state is critical: if Leg Sweep was used recently on a target it may only land as a 0.5-second stun. MiniCC also tracks Ring of Peace, Paralysis, and Spear Hand Strike cooldowns for setting up kill windows.

sArena Reloaded

Arena only Arena frames

1.5M downloads

Works in Midnight Updated 15 May 2026

Shows enemy defensive cooldowns the instant they pop — Divine Shield, Ice Block, or Cloak of Shadows means your Storm, Earth, and Fire burst window should be delayed or redirected to a different target. Track the enemy healer's cast bar for Spear Hand Strike interrupt timing.

BigDebuffs

CC debuffs

23.3M downloads

Works in Midnight Updated 22 Apr 2026

Makes Touch of Karma reflection window and SEF debuffs visible as large icons on unit frames. BigDebuffs also makes incoming stuns and incapacitates unmissable — critical for timing Diffuse Magic or Dampen Harm to survive a kill attempt during your burst.

DontCast

Immune buff warning

310.5K downloads

Works in Midnight Updated 15 Apr 2026

Warns when your target is immune — burning Storm, Earth, and Fire into Divine Shield wastes Touch of Karma's damage-to-healing conversion and Rising Sun Kick's mortal strike effect. DontCast catches the immunity before your burst macro fires.

H.H.T.D

Enemy healer marking

7.8M downloads

Works in Midnight Updated 22 Mar 2026

Marks enemy healers on nameplates — Spear Hand Strike should always prioritize the enemy healer. HHTD makes the healer visually distinct so you can interrupt their biggest heal the moment you enter the kill window with SEF.

Per-spell breakdown across the fight. Rising Sun Kick should be near the top — if Fists of Fury is low, you're either cancelling the channel too often or delaying it and losing DPS to padding GCDs instead.

Works in Midnight Updated 8 Apr 2026

Shows class icons on enemy nameplates for instant target identification. CC glow highlights your Leg Sweep stun and Paralysis landing — knowing exactly which enemies are CC'd helps you direct Storm, Earth, and Fire clones to uncrowded targets during the burst window.

Works in Midnight Updated 15 Mar 2026

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 Windwalker Monk, the Chi resource bar is the core display — BetterBlizzFrames keeps it visible and correctly positioned relative to your target frame so you're not reading Chi state from the corner of your eye during Rising Sun Kick windows.

Dominos

Action bars

22.2M downloads

Works in Midnight Updated 10 May 2026

Dominos gives you full control over action bar layout. For Windwalker Monk, a dedicated cooldown bar keeps Storm, Earth and Fire, Invoke Xuen, Touch of Death, and Leg Sweep at consistent positions near the centre of the screen — your eyes don't need to travel to the default bar edges to check their status during fast-paced Rising Sun Kick priority rotations.

ElvUI

Advanced Unit frames

Tukui.org addon

Works in Midnight Updated 15 May 2026

Most of what ElvUI covers for Windwalker Monk 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.
