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.

Talent Builds

Using this build

Sunfury Arena

Sunfury

3v3 arena build — Sunfury hero talent with Dragon's Breath setup into Combustion burst for kill windows. Counterspell interrupt on the healer opens the opportunity; Ice Block and Blazing Barrier for defensive survivability against aggressive comps.

Compositions

Sunfury Battleground Blitz

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 Fire Mage, that healer CC alert is your cue to open Combustion — Dragon's Breath then Combustion while the healer can't respond to the burst.

Tracks: CC notifications · Audio alerts · Healer CC · Kick timers · Enemy cooldowns
Requires: Standalone addon · CurseForge

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 if your Dragon's Breath stun lands full or 50% DR. The healer's cast bar is your Counterspell cue; catching a big heal with Combustion still up is peak Fire Mage burst window.

Tracks: Arena frames · Enemy health · Cast bars · DR tracking
Requires: Standalone addon · CurseForge

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 Fire Mage: seeing Ice Block or Divine Shield before you fire Combustion on an immune target — Dragon's Breath into immunity wastes your entire burst window.

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. Opening Combustion into immunity is the hardest mistake to recover from in Fire Mage PvP: full burst cooldown wasted, no kill. DontCast stops you before it happens.

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 being attacked — your cue to Dragon's Breath the attacker or Polymorph them to interrupt pressure and buy your healer breathing room.

BattleGroundEnemies Fixed

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 low-health targets for Combustion finishes, find the healer quickly, and track who has used major defensives. 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.

Meters & logs 1

Details! Damage Meter

Damage meters

345.4M downloads

Works in Midnight Updated 10 May 2026

Per-spell breakdown across the fight — for Fire Mage, check what percentage comes from Combustion windows versus filler; if the ratio is off, you're losing Combustion casts or not stacking Fire Blast charges correctly going into the window. Flamestrike share tells you whether your AoE positioning is hitting the full cluster of targets.

Nameplates & interrupts 2

Platynator

Nameplates

9.5M downloads

Works in Midnight Updated 20 Apr 2026

Cast bars and debuff icons on enemy nameplates — for Fire Mage in M+, the main value is seeing interruptible casts that need a Counterspell and tracking which enemies have Living Bomb active in multi-target situations. More performant than Plater for players who don't need heavy scripting.

Tracks: Nameplates · Cast bars · Living Bomb · Counterspell targeting

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 Combustion to open while the healer is CCd requires instantly knowing who is locked and for how long so you don't waste the burst window.

Tracks: Class icons · CC glow · Nameplate debuffs · Target identification

Cooldowns & tracking 2

OmniCD

Group cooldowns

33.4M downloads

Works in Midnight Updated 27 Feb 2026

Tracks group cooldowns from the combat log — for Fire Mage, most valuable for Heroism/Bloodlust tracking so you hold Combustion for the lust window rather than burning it on a filler pull. Also shows kick availability so Counterspell covers interrupt gaps rather than overlapping with another caster's kick.

BetterCooldownManager

Personal cooldowns

938.2K downloads

Works in Midnight Updated 15 Mar 2026

Configurable timers for your major cooldowns on screen. Tracks Combustion, Fire Blast charges, and Phoenix Flames together so you can plan the opener — ideally entering with full charges so you guarantee consecutive Hot Streak procs through the entire Combustion window.

Tracks: Personal cooldowns · Combustion · Fire Blast charges · Phoenix Flames
Requires: Standalone addon · CurseForge

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 Fire Mage, a target castbar is useful for timing Counterspell on the correct cast in M+ without relying solely on BigWigs timers. A one-addon upgrade with no layout overhead.

Tracks: Unit frames · Castbars · Class color bars · Counterspell timing
Requires: Standalone addon · CurseForge

Dominos

Action bars

22.2M downloads

Works in Midnight Updated 10 May 2026

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

Tracks: Action bars · Bar positioning · Button sizing · Fade out of combat
Requires: Standalone addon · CurseForge

ElvUI

Advanced Unit frames

Tukui.org addon

Works in Midnight Updated 15 May 2026

Most of what ElvUI covers for Fire 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.
