NextCast

A target and focus cast bar for World of Warcraft built around one question: is your kick ready?

NextCast puts your interrupt status exactly where your eyes already are: on the enemy cast bar. See what's being cast, whether you can stop it, and exactly when your kick comes off cooldown.

Interrupt Tracking

Kick Spark: a vertical line on the cast bar showing the exact moment your interrupt comes off cooldown
Ready / Not-Ready Icon: animated indicator next to the bar showing your kick status
Secondary Interrupt: also tracks your backup stop (Spell Lock, Avenger's Shield, Typhoon, etc.)
Important-Cast Glow: red pulse on dangerous dungeon casts that need to be kicked in Mythic+
Target Glow: yellow pulse when the enemy spell is targeting you
Interrupt Feedback: green flash on successful interrupt, red flash when you miss one
Latency Line: marker showing where your latency makes it too late to kick

Auto-detects your class interrupt: Counterspell, Pummel, Mind Freeze, Wind Shear, Kick, Rebuke, Skull Bash, Counter Shot, Disrupt, Spear Hand Strike, Silence, Axe Toss, Quell.

Cast Bars

Separate Target and Focus bars, each fully independent with their own position, size, colors, textures, and fonts
Midnight-safe rendering using Blizzard's native DurationObject API (no secret-value taint)
Channel tick marks for Mind Flay, Drain Life, Penance, empowered Evoker casts, and more
Hide-on-CD mode: only show the bar when your kick is ready, with optional early reveal if your kick will come up during the cast

Cast Target Display

Three layout modes to show who the enemy is casting on:

Arrow: Frostbolt > Player inline
Inline: target name beside the spell name
Split: spell name left, target name right

Optional class coloring on target names.

Keybind overlay on the kick icon with full font/outline/shadow control

Lightweight

No CLEU parsing, no taint workarounds. Event coalescing keeps CPU usage low in combat. Bundled libraries (LibStub, LibSharedMedia-3.0, LibDBIcon-1.0).
