GCDwithPing is a lightweight addon for WoW that displays cooldowns and global cooldown (GCD) on action buttons, compensating for ping/latency to provide accurate timing.
Description
GCDwithPing is a World of Warcraft addon that displays cooldown text on action buttons with latency (ping) compensation.
It helps your cooldown timers feel more “real” by subtracting network delay from the remaining time, so what you see is closer to when you can actually press the ability.
What it does
- Shows cooldown numbers directly on action buttons.
- Compensates cooldown display using your current ping.
- Supports optional GCD (Global Cooldown) display.
- Uses color-coded timer text based on remaining time.
- Supports decimal formatting for short cooldowns.
- Includes a movable optional ping panel.
- Works with Blizzard bars and common bar addons (e.g. Bartender4, ElvUI, Dominos).

Why use it
If you want cooldown text that better matches real button availability in live conditions (especially with non-zero latency), GCDwithPing gives a cleaner and more practical timing readout than raw client-side cooldown numbers.
