✨ Built Around Your Playstyle
Clear DR Information
- Target tracking: A movable display for your current enemy target.
- Enemy nameplates: DR information beside the enemies you are watching.
- Reset timers: Track the time remaining until a category resets.
- Flexible stage indicators: Choose application pips, a count, or the expected next CC duration.
- Icon choices: Display the last CC spell or a fixed category icon.
- Timer text and cooldown swipe: Enable either or both.
What does the timer mean? It counts down to the DR reset, not the remaining duration of the crowd-control effect.

- Set target and nameplate icon sizes independently.
- Adjust nameplate icon position and spacing from the plate.
- Choose Auto, Always, or Never for each DR category.

🎛️ Your Settings, in Their Own Window
Type /drpulse to open the standalone settings window. Drag its title bar to move it, and close it with the close button or Escape.
Five focused sections keep everything organized:
| Section | What you can configure |
|---|---|
| General | Enable tracking, choose displays, lock the target display, and adjust filters. |
| Appearance | Category visibility, icon sizes, placement, timers, and visual style. |
| Detection | Tracking sources, DR reset timing, and Blizzard data options. |
| Tools | Custom spells, diagnostics, and maintenance actions. |
| Guide | Mouse controls and command reference. |
Open settings from the minimap button, AddOn Compartment, or the target display’s All options… shortcut.
An optional PayPal support link is available at the bottom of the window.
🛡️ Eight Supported DR Categories
Stun · Incapacitate · Disorient / Fear · Root
Silence · Disarm · Taunt · Knockback
Use per-category visibility controls to keep your display focused on the information you need.
🔍 Tracking and Data Confidence
DRPulse combines several available sources of evidence:
- Blizzard’s native diminishing returns feed.
- Readable crowd-control auras on enemies.
- Your own and your pet’s casts.
- Party and raid member crowd control.
- Immune, miss, and resist feedback.
- Optional estimates for unconfirmed casts.
WoW: Forever can restrict enemy combat information. DRPulse respects those restrictions and distinguishes confirmed observations from estimates.
Grey timers prefixed with ~ indicate estimated reset timing. An estimated cast does not confirm that the spell landed, and estimated immunity is not a guaranteed result.
Prefer to hide unconfirmed casts? Disable Show unconfirmed casts under Detection → Tracking sources.
