Max Mage Suite

Max Mage Suite is a modular information and control HUD designed for Mages in World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade Classic.

It combines Mana monitoring, configurable alerts, spell and buff tracking, Polymorph control, interactive group buff management, live character statistics, and talent planning in a single customizable interface.

Every major module can be moved and resized independently, allowing the player to build a clean layout suited to solo play, dungeons, raids, battlegrounds, or PvP.

Mana Monitor

The Mana module displays:

Current Mana
Maximum Mana
Current Mana percentage
Configurable Low Mana threshold
Configurable High Mana threshold

The Mana bar changes appearance according to its current state:

Normal Mana
Low Mana
High Mana

A configurable sound alert can play when Mana falls below the selected Low Mana threshold.

The alert activates once when the threshold is crossed and automatically resets after Mana rises again.

Mana Sound Alerts

The Alerts & Sounds page allows you to:

Enable or disable the Low Mana warning
Select the preferred sound effect
Test the selected sound directly from the menu

Available sound profiles include:

Arcane ping
Soft bell
Alarm
Ready-check sound

This allows the player to react to low Mana without constantly watching the resource bar.

Cooldown Tracking

Max Mage Suite can display the remaining cooldown of important Mage and racial abilities.

Default tracked cooldowns include:

Ice Block
Icy Veins
Cold Snap
Berserking

Additional optional cooldowns include:

Evocation
Arcane Power
Presence of Mind
Combustion

Each cooldown icon shows:

Spell icon
Remaining cooldown
Ready status
Desaturated state while unavailable

Cooldown icons can be displayed in a compact row or released and moved individually.

Personal Buff Tracking

The personal buff module monitors selected Mage buffs and displays:

Active state
Missing state
Remaining duration
Spell icon
Duration overlay

Personal buff icons can be grouped into one compact frame or positioned separately on the screen.

Interactive Group Buff Matrix

The Group Buff Matrix organizes party and raid members by class and reports the current group buff status.

The matrix displays:

Member count for each class
Arcane Intellect or Arcane Brilliance coverage
Amplify Magic or Dampen Magic coverage
Number of members missing a buff
Shortest remaining buff duration in each class group

Group Click-Buff Controls

The Group Buff Matrix includes secure click controls.

INT Column

Left click casts Arcane Intellect on the next member of that class who needs the buff.
Right click casts Arcane Brilliance for the group.

Repeated left clicks automatically move to the next valid member requiring Arcane Intellect.

MAGIC Column

Left click casts Amplify Magic.
Right click casts Dampen Magic.

Each click performs one player-initiated spell action. The addon does not automate repeated casting.

The tooltip reports the next selected target and the spell assigned to each mouse button.

Polymorph Tracker

The Polymorph module tracks the controlled enemy even after changing target.

It displays:

Target name
Polymorph spell name
Remaining duration
Animated duration bar
Expiration warning state

The duration bar starts full and progressively empties as Polymorph approaches expiration.

The tracker uses the target GUID and combat-log information to preserve the timer after changing target. When the affected enemy becomes your target, focus, or mouseover, available aura data is used to correct the estimated duration.

The tracker ends immediately when Polymorph:

Expires
Is removed
Is dispelled
Is broken by damage
Is replaced
Ends because the target dies

The bar changes to a warning color during the final configurable seconds.

Live Mage Statistics

The Mage Stats page reads current character values from equipment, talents, buffs, and active modifiers.

Displayed statistics include:

Left click adds a planned talent rank.
Right click removes a planned talent rank.

Talent application remains subject to the normal game rules, available points, trainer requirements, and protected-action restrictions.

Fully Modular Layout

The following modules can be moved separately:

Mana
Cooldowns
Active Buffs
Polymorph
Group Buffs

Cooldown and personal buff icons can also be released from their parent rows and positioned individually.

Each position is saved independently.

Individual Frame Resizing

When the interface is unlocked, every main module displays a resize handle in its lower-right corner.

Each frame can be resized independently between its configured minimum and maximum limits.

Individual size settings are saved separately for:

Mana
Cooldowns
Active Buffs
Polymorph
Group Buffs

The global HUD scale remains available and works together with each module’s individual size.

Reset Positions restores both the ordered default placement and the default module sizes.

Layout Grid

A full-screen 32-pixel diagnostic grid is available for visual alignment.

The grid is a reference only.

Dragging does not automatically snap, pull, or reposition frames. Modules remain exactly where they are released.

Use the grid to compare spacing and alignment while keeping complete control over the final placement.

Interface Locking

The interface can be locked or unlocked from the menu or through slash commands.

When unlocked:

Main modules can be moved
Free icons can be moved
Resize handles are visible
Individual modules can be resized

When locked:

Frames ignore drag input
Resize handles are hidden
The configured layout remains stable

Test Mode

Test Mode displays simulated information for layout configuration.

It can preview:

Cooldown timers
Personal buff durations
Group buff data
Polymorph tracking
Mana states

Test Mode does not cast real spells and does not alter the player’s actual buffs or cooldowns.

Minimap Button

The minimap button provides quick control over the addon.

Left click opens or closes the configuration menu.
Right click enables or disables Max Mage Suite.
Dragging moves the minimap button around the minimap.

When the addon is disabled:

HUD modules are hidden
Trackers are suspended
The minimap button remains available
The disabled state is saved

Combat and Security

Configuration changes affecting secure group buff controls may require leaving combat before they can be fully updated.
