Cast Status Indicator is a helpful addon for World of Warcraft: Cataclysm Classic, designed to enhance your casting awareness by providing a visual indicator that follows your cursor and displays your casting readiness.
When the global cooldown (GCD) is active, the indicator switches to a "not-able-to-cast" image. Once your character is ready to cast, it changes to an "able-to-cast" image. This feedback allows you to see at a glance whether you can cast without having to look away from your character or cursor, making it especially useful in PvP or high-intensity PvE scenarios.
Features
- Cursor-Following Indicator: The indicator image tracks your cursor, keeping your casting readiness information where you need it most.
- Cooldown Awareness: Quickly see if your character is under GCD or ready to cast.
- Customizable Images: By default, the addon uses two images (
able-to-cast.tgaandnot-able-to-cast.tga) included in the addon folder. Feel free to replace them with custom images of your choice.
