Sentinel AoE

Sentinel

Alternative for Mythic+ — Sentinel hero talent with stacking marks on multiple targets for sustained AoE damage. Stronger on fights with many medium-health enemies where Sentinel's stacks can be fully built up.

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

Works in Midnight Updated 20 May 2026

For Survival Hunter, knowing exactly when a dangerous cast is coming lets you hold Counter Shot for the right interrupt and plan Coordinated Assault around movement mechanics rather than burning it right before a forced reposition. LittleWigs is required for dungeon boss modules — install both.

Advanced Ground effect alerts

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.

Nameplates

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.

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.

Advanced GCD timeline

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.

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.
