⚠️ WoW Midnight Compatibility Notice

Important: Starting with WoW Midnight (12.0+), Blizzard has introduced major changes to the addon API. Combat log data that BlizzSCT relies on (COMBAT_LOG_EVENT_UNFILTERED) is now restricted as part of Blizzard's "secret values" system.

What this means for you:

  • BlizzSCT may not display damage numbers in Midnight
  • This is not a bug – it's a Blizzard API restriction affecting all combat addons
  • Addons like WeakAuras, DBM, and others are similarly affected
