Supported Versions

  • 2.5.5
  • 2.5.4
  • 2.5.3

Rotation

  • AoE auto-detection — addon switches between single-target and AoE rotation based on enemies engaged with you (nameplate + threat-table + combat-log union, asymmetric debouncing). Manual override via /bc aoe on|off|auto.
  • Mangle prioritized on cooldown — highest threat-per-GCD ability for bears in TBC; the bleed-bonus debuff justifies refreshing early.
  • Maul rage gate — only suggested above 50 rage (single-target) or 70 rage (AoE) and skipped if already queued. No more starving Mangle for Maul.
  • FFF respects its 40s debuff — won't suggest recasting Faerie Fire (Feral) every 6 seconds when the armor reduction is still up.
  • Clearcasting overrides rage gates — Mangle, Lacerate, Swipe, and Demo Roar all trigger free during Omen of Clarity procs.
  • Lacerate filler at 5 stacks removed (was a wasted GCD).
  • AoE: Swipe ranks above Mangle on cooldown when rage allows (4 targets > 1).

Trackers

  • Mangle debuff timer + Lacerate stacks/duration bars.
  • Cooldown row: Mangle, Growl, Bash, Enrage, Demoralizing Roar, Challenging Roar, Frenzied Regeneration, Barkskin.
  • Buff status row: Mark of the Wild, Thorns, Omen of Clarity. Countdown + pulsing red border when buffs are about to expire.
  • Health bar with green/yellow/red thresholds.

UI / UX

  • Full-width Rage and HP bars on top, suggester icon left, debuff bars right.
  • Lacerate bar turns red at 5/5 stacks so you stop stacking.
  • Suggester border flips cyan during Clearcasting (visual proc cue on the icon itself).
  • Outlined white bar text for legibility on bright fills (rage cap, etc).
  • Opaque backdrop with 1px border — no more floaty look.
  • Cooldown icons evenly distributed and proper backdrop outlines.
  • "MAUL QUEUED" and "NOT IN BEAR FORM" indicators reanchored inside the frame.
  • Shift+drag the body to move; Shift+drag the corner grip to resize. Prevents accidental nudges in combat.

Commands

  • /bc lock | unlock | reset — frame locking and reset
  • /bc scale 0.5–2.5 — set scale
  • /bc aoe on | off | auto — manual AoE rotation override
