Short summary

NextActionTBC is a Hekili-style rotation helper for The Burning Crusade Classic (including Anniversary-era clients). It shows your next recommended actions in a horizontal or vertical queue: upcoming spells, cooldowns, interrupts, and optional survival items—updated in real time from your talents, buffs, resources, and target.

---

What it does

- Recommends up to 4 actions ahead (configurable) so you can plan globals and off-GCD abilities.

- Uses class/spec APL logic (priority lists) aligned with common TBC PvE guidance (e.g. Icy Veins style priorities—not a 1:1 WeakAura port).

- Respects your toggles: use cooldowns, defensives, interrupts, rotation mode (Auto / Single / Cleave / AoE), and fight context (trash vs boss adjusts AoE thresholds).

- Does not cast for you. Addons cannot reliably cast from secure combat UI; the frame is a visual guide (tooltips, optional hotkey hints from your action bars, optional named click frames for macros).

Major features

| Area | Details |

|------|---------|

| Specs | Separate logic per specialization (e.g. Retribution vs Protection vs Holy Paladin, Beast Mastery vs Survival Hunter, etc.). |

| Per-spec settings | Many combat options are stored per specialization (SavedVariables `specSettings`). The Combat tab shows which spec key is active. |

| Rotation modes | Auto, Single-target, Cleave (switch to AoE list when enough nearby enemies), AoE. |

| Fight context | Trash / Boss / Auto tweaks how many enemies count toward AoE suggestions. |

| Survival & consumables | Optional Healthstone → healing potion → mana potion (Mage: mana gem first) at the top of the queue when health/mana drop below per-spec sliders (Combat tab). Off-GCD suggestions do not “eat” the main rotation lookahead. |

| Paladin (Retribution) | Rich options: Seal priority (one list), optional Seal Twisting, Judgement of the Crusader opener logic, reaction/latency sliders, Smart Mana behavior; lane indicator on the frame for DPS vs mana recovery. |

| Paladin (Protection / Holy) | Protection: defensive and Righteous Defense taunt assist when enabled. Holy: healing-focused APL. |

| Profiles | Save/load named configs; export/import string from Settings or slash commands (NATBCv2 can embed per-spec data). |

| Locales | English and Ukrainian UI strings (`/natbc locale`). |

| Display | Themes (default, ElvUI-like, NDui-like, minimal), scaling, alpha, mini mode (one large icon), optional cast bar on the lead icon, range highlight, optional sound on priority change. |

Good to know

- Performance: The addon includes throttling and optional “raid hardening” to stay light in large raids; you can tune update rates in advanced settings if needed.

- WeakAuras: The addon does not import your WAs automatically. Use your WAs to tune timing and thresholds, then mirror important numbers in Combat / class tabs where documented.

- Support: See the addon folder README.md and docs/ for Paladin guides, testing notes, and issue templates.
