Mage Rotation Helper
Mage Rotation Helper supports Arcane, Fire, and Frost Mages in World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade Anniversary. It detects your main talent tree automatically and switches to the matching rotation.
The addon shows the next recommended action and can highlight the matching action-bar button. It never casts spells, changes targets, or automates input.
Arcane
- Tracks your live Arcane Blast stacks instead of simply counting casts.
- Keeps Mage Armor active by default, with Molten Armor and disabled choices.
- Continues casting Arcane Blast while mana is healthy or Arcane Power is active.
- At low mana, switches to the normal Arcane Blast and Frostbolt conserve cycle.
- Supports an Arcane/Fire profile that maintains Improved Scorch when talented and only uses Fireball while the shared five-stack debuff is active.
- Uses Fire Blast while moving.
- Shows Arcane Blast stack pips beneath the main recommendation.
- Tracks Arcane Power, Icy Veins, Presence of Mind, Cold Snap, Evocation, and usable trinkets in the cooldown row.
Fire
- Maintains Molten Armor.
- Builds the shared Improved Scorch debuff to five stacks when the target will live long enough for the setup to pay off.
- Tracks Fire Vulnerability from any Mage and refreshes it near expiry.
- Uses Fireball as the main single-target spell.
- Uses Fire Blast for movement and finishing, with configurable behavior.
- Supports safe ranged AoE with Flamestrike and Blizzard without replacing the Flamestrike ground effect too early.
- Tracks Combustion, Icy Veins, Cold Snap, Evocation, and usable trinkets.
Frost
- Uses Frostbolt as the normal standing single-target spell.
- Uses Ice Lance against frozen targets and Fire Blast against non-frozen targets while moving.
- Recognizes the Frostbolt and Ice Lance Shatter follow-up window.
- Tracks shared Winter's Chill plus Frost Nova, Water Elemental Freeze, and Frostbite on the target.
- Offers Molten Armor, Mage Armor, or disabled armor advice.
