Boomkin Buff Watcher

A compact Astral Power and Eclipse moveable window tracker with a Mark of the Wild reminder, built for Balance Druids.

Boomkin Buff Watcher

A small, focused HUD for Balance Druids. No clutter, no rotation automation — just the numbers and states you actually need to glance at.

Features

Astral Power bar Live current/max display, with a soft gold glow that builds in as you approach capping out — a visual cue to spend it, not a hard rule telling you what to press.

Eclipse window Shows "Solar," "Lunar," or "Celestial" with a live countdown whenever you're in one. A radial cooldown-swipe timer — the same visual style as your action bar cooldowns — sits right next to the text, so you can read the time left at a glance without needing to parse a number.

Mark of the Wild reminder A small, independently draggable icon appears only when the buff is missing — invisible the rest of the time. Works for any Druid spec, not just Balance, and isn't tied to combat state, since the whole point is catching it before a pull.

Draggable frame Click and drag anywhere on the main frame or the Mark of the Wild icon to reposition them independently. Placement is saved between sessions — /bbw reset puts everything back if needed.

Settings panel Open with /bbw config or via Options > AddOns. Toggle "Hide outside of combat" if you want the HUD visible all the time — handy for repositioning it without needing to be mid-fight.

Notes

  • The Astral Power/Eclipse HUD only appears in Balance spec, and by default only in combat (toggleable in Settings, so you can see it out of combat to move it - in /bbw config)
  • Built and tested against current API restrictions on combat data — nothing here relies on reading values it isn't supposed to

Planned

A configurable row for tracking your own reactive procs is in the addon already but ships empty by default, since which procs matter depends on your talent build. More on that (and other additions) in future updates.
