KickSync

Real-time interrupt rotation for dungeons and raids

Every player running KickSync sees the exact same kick order- zero delay, zero setup. Just install and pull.

What Does It Do?

KickSync automatically builds an interrupt rotation for your group. It shows:

• Who should kick NOW (green highlight)
• Who's next up (orange highlight)
• Live cooldown countdowns for every player

All clients stay perfectly in sync - what you see is what your teammates see.

How It Works

KickSync uses local game events to detect every group member's interrupt cast in real-time.

Traditional addons vs KickSync:

• During boss fights: Traditional = Blocked by Blizzard | KickSync = Works
• During M+ keys: Traditional = Blocked by Blizzard | KickSync = Works
• Sync delay: Traditional = 2-10 seconds | KickSync = Zero
• Midnight 12.x: Traditional = Broken | KickSync = Built for it

Why? WoW Midnight (12.x) blocks addon messaging during encounters. KickSync detects interrupt casts via a local game event that fires on every client simultaneously.

The Rotation

1. All players sorted by interrupt cooldown (shortest remaining first)
2. First player with kick ready → KICK NOW (green)
3. Second player in queue → NEXT UP (orange)
4. You use your interrupt → CD starts, you move down the list
5. Next ready player becomes → KICK NOW
6. Repeat

Everyone runs the same algorithm on the same data = same UI on every screen.

Installation

1. Download and extract to your AddOns folder

FAQ

Q: Does everyone in my group need this addon?
A: Yes, for the full rotation sync. Solo users still see their own interrupt cooldown tracking.

Q: Does it work in raids?
A: Yes - supports up to 40 players. Dungeons, raids, M+ keys, and open world.

Q: Does it work during boss fights in Midnight?
A: Yes. This is the main reason KickSync exists. It uses local game events instead of addon messaging, bypassing Blizzard's encounter communication restrictions.

Q: Can I customize which spells are priority interrupts?
A: Yes - /ksync priority add <spellID> CRITICAL|HIGH|LOW
