Dirty Boot Combat HUD
Dirty Boot Combat HUD is a read-only combat awareness HUD for World of Warcraft Retail.
It separates player, target, and party information into movable, independently scalable HUD sections. The addon is built for information passing only: it does not cast, target, assist, run macros, use secure buttons, or automate combat decisions.
Requirements
- World of Warcraft Retail.
- DirtyBootCore installed and enabled.
DirtyBootCore is a required dependency and must be installed as a separate addon folder:
Interface/AddOns/DirtyBootCore
Interface/AddOns/DirtyBootCombatHUD
Features
- Compact player health and power cluster.
- Class/spec label using class color.
- Center class-resource symbols using one shared symbol style across classes.
- Center resource area stays empty when the current class/spec has no active dedicated resource.
- Target frame with health, power, target type, level, classification, creature type, target-of-target, cast/threat info, and player/NPC identification.
- Target health color coding:
- Friendly: green.
- Neutral/unknown: yellow.
- Enemy: red.
- Enemy pet: light purple.
- Target power bar color follows the target's power type.
- Party unit bars for party1 through party4.
- Player, target, and party sections can be moved separately.
- Player, target, and party sections can be scaled separately from /dbch.

Safety Boundaries
Dirty Boot Combat HUD is intentionally read-only.
It does not:
- Cast spells.
- Target units.
- Assist units.
- Run macros.
- Click protected buttons.
- Replace Blizzard secure frames.
- Use combat log parsing.
- Perform combat automation.
Known Notes
- Some health and power values can be protected by Blizzard in modern Retail. The addon uses guarded reads and safe fallbacks where possible.
- Class-resource support is intentionally conservative. If a resource is not active for the current class/spec, the center resource area is left empty.
- This release should be treated as an early public build.
