CursorSpellTracker

CursorSpellTracker is a lightweight, performance-oriented spell tracker that displays important spells directly at your mouse cursor.

CursorSpellTracker is a lightweight World of Warcraft addon that shows selected spells, cooldowns, auras and procs near your mouse cursor.

The idea is simple:
keep important combat information close to your attention without adding unnecessary clutter or unnecessary performance overhead.

CursorSpellTracker is built around selected tracking, not broad automatic scanning.

Features

  • Track selected spells directly at your cursor
  • Track selected auras and procs
  • Show cooldowns, charges and duration bars
  • Arrange active entries in 1–5 cursor rows per character and specialization
  • Inverted Spells: show selected spells while unavailable or on cooldown
  • Clean Square Icons option for a cleaner icon appearance
  • Optional sound notifications for selected spells, auras and procs
  • LibSharedMedia-3.0 support for additional sounds
  • Aura/Proc Discovery based on Blizzard’s Cooldown Manager
  • Proc Highlight system

  • Reworked profile system with automatic profile visibility
  • Global general settings support
  • Export/Import for spell profiles, general settings, complete profiles and full backups

  • German and English localization

Spell and Aura Tracking

CursorSpellTracker separates spell tracking and aura/proc tracking by source.

If an entry is added through the Spells tab, it is treated as a spell/cooldown entry.
This means it can be shown while available or unavailable and can be inverted.

If an entry is added through the Auras/Procs tab, it is treated as an aura/proc entry.
This means it is shown based on the active aura/proc state.

This is especially important for abilities that are both a castable spell and an active buff.

Profiles

CursorSpellTracker supports separate spell profiles and general settings.

General settings can be shared globally, while active spell lists, cursor rows and sorting can stay character- and specialization-specific.

Profile dropdowns are automatically filtered to reduce clutter:
the current automatic profile, custom profiles and the Global Profile remain visible, while unnecessary automatic profiles are hidden by default.

Important for existing users:
The profile system and data structure were changed significantly in v1.2.0. In some cases, active spell lists may need to be selected again, recreated or restored from a backup. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Icon Appearance

CursorSpellTracker includes a Clean Square Icons option in the display settings.

This option provides a cleaner square icon appearance without requiring external skinning addons.
Masque support is not included yet.

Sounds

Sounds are optional and disabled by default per character.

CursorSpellTracker supports sounds registered through LibSharedMedia-3.0.
Custom sound packs are not bundled with the main addon.
