Description
Forever Combat Tracker
Forever Combat Tracker brings threat monitoring, damage and healing meters, action tracking, and personal fight recording together in one customizable dashboard for World of Warcraft: Forever.
Use it while questing, fighting solo elites, running dungeons, or participating in raids.
Threat Monitoring
Monitor threat on visible enemies through compact displays above their nameplates and a dedicated Threat overview.
See who is tanking an enemy when threat information is available.
Receive warnings when approaching aggro, pulling threat, or losing aggro.
Choose tank mode or damage/healer mode.
Recognize assigned tanks and manually assign group members as tanks.
Filter displays to enemies engaged with your group, enemies you have engaged, or times when you are in combat.
Adjust nameplate display size and position.
Damage
Select a view from the metric dropdown:
Damage Done
DPS
Damage Taken
Avoidable Damage Taken
Enemy Damage Taken
Healing
Switch between Healing Done and HPS.
Actions
Track Interrupts, Dispels, and Deaths.
Damage, Healing, and Actions use Blizzard’s built-in damage-meter data. A fight dropdown lets you choose the current or last fight, overall totals, or an available recorded fight.
Fight Analysis
Record your successful ability casts and review their order and timing afterward.
View abilities, elapsed timestamps, and cast targets when available.
Start and stop recording with the Record Fight button.
Choose Auto Stop, which waits 10 seconds after combat ends. If combat resumes during the countdown, the same recording continues.
Choose Manual Stop to keep recording between pulls until you stop it.
Save up to 100 recordings, with up to 10,000 casts per recording.
Name or rename recordings for easier reference.
Select saved recordings from a dropdown.
Delete individual recordings or multiple selected recordings with confirmation.
Review long timelines with page controls.
Recording management stays within Fight Analysis, with a Back button to return to the timeline.
Customize Your Dashboard
Move and scale the overview to fit your UI.
Use compact rows to display more entries.
Choose interactive controls or a click-through display.
Use a custom background texture prepared with the optional desktop Background Helper.
Keep your settings and personal recordings between sessions.
The Background Helper is a separate desktop utility and is not included in the CurseForge add-on download.

Data Availability
Some combat information is restricted by the game client. Meter views depend on Blizzard’s built-in meter being available and enabled; avoidable damage uses Blizzard’s classification.
Fight Analysis records successful player spellcast events. It does not include auto-attacks, damage results, failed or interrupted casts, or other players’ rotations. Restricted information may be omitted, and unavailable targets are labeled accordingly.
Fight Analysis provides a timeline for personal review. It does not automatically score rotations, recommend abilities, or separate boss attempts.
