FreebirdWings is a lightweight addon that plays a custom audio clip whenever you cast Avenging Wrath (Paladin “Wings”).
What it does (features)
-
Wings trigger detection: Automatically detects when you cast Avenging Wrath and plays a sound immediately.
-
Custom audio support: Uses audio files stored inside the addon folder (no external apps or accounts required).
-
Two-track mode (optional): Supports playing one of two audio clips on Wings (for variety).
-
Failsafe behavior: If one sound file fails to play (missing/unsupported), the addon can fall back to the other.
-
Low overhead: No UI frames, no configuration panels—just a single event listener.
How it changes gameplay / player experience
This addon doesn’t change your rotation or combat performance directly—it adds instant feedback and hype when you press a major cooldown.
Examples:
-
Use a short “GO TIME” sound cue so you never miss your Wings activation.
-
Use meme/hype audio (like a guitar lick or EDM drop you provide) to make cooldowns more fun.
-
Great for streaming, arena, or raids when you want a clear audible signal that Wings is active.
Installation
-
Download and unzip.
-
Place the folder in:
World of Warcraft/<your_version>/Interface/AddOns/FreebirdWings -

Sound file requirements
-
