BreakSync

Break timer bar for World of Warcraft (Retail, Patch 12.0.0+). Shows a centered on-screen timer bar when a break is called — even if you don't have DBM or BigWigs installed. Syncs with both.

Features

Standalone bar — no DBM or BigWigs required. Works for solo players or groups.
DBM sync — listens for break timers broadcast over the D5 addon message protocol (BT command).
BigWigs sync — hooks BigWigs_StartBreak / BigWigs_StopBreak callbacks via BigWigsLoader if BigWigs is installed.
Broadcasts to group — /bs break sends the D5/BT message so DBM and BigWigs users in your group also see their own bars.
Draggable — drag the bar anywhere; position is saved per-character.
