Description
Instant Cast Bar
Instant Cast Bar adds a clean, Blizzard-matching cast bar experience for instant spells by displaying their effective global cooldown (GCD) as a short cast-style timeline.
This gives you better visual timing for instant abilities, while keeping the look and feel close to the default UI.
Features
- Displays a cast-style bar for instant abilities based on GCD timing.
- Aligns with your player cast bar position and follows Blizzard cast bar geometry.
- Blizzard-style visual treatment:
- Spell text integration
- Optional spell icon with Blizzard-style action-button-inspired framing
- Appearance controls:
- Optional spell icon toggle
- Optional icon placement on the left or right side of the bar
- Optional left-to-right fill mode for instant casts
- Optional school-based and class-based bar coloring
- Advanced control panels:
- GCD Overrides for custom spell timing behavior
- Ignore List to exclude specific spells
- School-aware feedback:
- Attempts to detect a spell's school and tint the bar, spark, and shine accordingly
Why use it
- Improves clarity for instant casts where default feedback can feel too brief.
- Helps with rhythm and timing in combat without replacing the whole cast bar system.
- Keeps a familiar Blizzard-UI look instead of introducing a completely different bar style.
