GSE: Tracker
Meters ·
Assisted Highlight ·
Action Tracker ·
Quality of Life
A clean, highly-customizable combat overlay for sequence & macro users — sequence tracking, an assisted-rotation highlight, a center marker, and a full built-in meters suite, all in one addon.
Integrates natively with GSE when available, and also works with Single-Button Assistant and plain manual keypresses.
⚠ SETTINGS RESET ONCE ON MAJOR UPDATES
A major update resets GSE: Tracker to a fresh, curated default layout one time — your old settings are replaced on first login, then everything saves normally again. No manual reinstall needed; just re-apply any personal tweaks afterward.
Overview
GSE: Tracker gives you a cleaner, more customizable way to see what your macros are doing in combat — then adds the awareness tools you'd otherwise need three separate addons for. Everything is configurable from one settings window with live previews.
Tracker Options
Option Access: in-game Options panel · /gsetracker · minimap button.

|---|
| Unlocking | Native Edit Mode integration with example live previews (drag or arrow-key nudge) |

Looks Like Your UI
The tracker adopts your action-bar skin automatically — borders, masks, and fonts are pulled live from your skinner, so it never looks bolted-on (or force Blizzard-native):
Core Features
Meters
A self-contained damage/utility meter set — no second meters addon required.
| Feature | What it shows |
|---|
| Live readouts | Lightweight DPS, HPS, GCD swipe, and Single-Button Assistant usage — with an adjustable refresh rate |
| Details window | Damage / Healing / Dispels / Interrupts tabs, expandable pet & spell grouping, last-10-fights session paging (title-bar arrows), and a docked combat timer |
| Drill-down | Right-click any row to break down that specific combatant |
| Skinned breakdown | Class-coloured bars with your font (SharedMedia) and bar texture; the window is resizable, movable, and pinnable |
| Meter source | Use the built-in GSE: Tracker Skinner, Details!, or Blizzard's meter details |
| Center Marker | Find your character during busy, movement-heavy encounters — selectable symbols (crosshairs, faction, class/spec, or your own image), size, colour (incl. class colour), show-when rules, and Press Detection that pulses on input |
Assisted Highlight
Anchor Points: Screen · Mouse Cursor · Target Portrait
A flexible rotation-assist highlight that mirrors your suggested next ability wherever you want it — anchored to the screen, following the mouse cursor, or shown over the target's portrait (auto-sized and rounded to match). Optional keybind + stack/charge count, range checking (red-tints when out of range), and a GCD swipe — plus adjustable size, opacity, border, and class / custom colour.
Action Tracker
Tracks the spells your sequence/macro fires and shows them as a clean, fully-configurable row of icons.
| Option | Description |
|---|
| Live preview | See every change instantly while you configure |
| Independent elements | The Sequence / Macro / Spell name, modifier keys, and keybind can each be toggled, resized, and repositioned on their own (incl. Swap Name ⇄ ModKeys) |
| Free movement | Drag any element anywhere, or set precise X / Y values |
| Layouts | Horizontal or vertical — vertical adds per-icon spell names beside each icon (class-coloured) — with adjustable icon count and spacing |
| Scroll Direction | Left, Right, Up, or Down |
| Scale | Scale the whole tracker (icons + text); matches your action bar at 1.00 |
| Auto-fade | Names fade out a few seconds after you stop casting — in or out of combat |
Input & Sequence Awareness
- Modifier tracking — shows which modifier keys (Shift / Ctrl / Alt, side-aware) you're holding.
- ModKey burst stack — abilities fired while holding Ctrl/Alt stack into a centered combo display.
- Keybind display — optionally shows the key bound to the active sequence.
Quality of Life
| Feature | Description |
|---|
| QoL extras | Mute spell-fizzle sounds, hide red error text, account-wide or per-character settings |
| Rotation Matching System | A proc-style glow flashes on the centre of the action-icon scroll when your cast matches the Assisted Highlight suggestion. Shows an AH Match % readout (plus the share that came from the Single-Button Assistant), with an optional audible alert on a match for visually-impaired users. |
| Pressed Indicator | Customizable shape (crosshairs, dots, faction icons, or your own image) that pulses in sync with how fast you're pressing — choose None to hide it. |
