Description

Rewind — Arena Match Replay for TBC Classic

Rewind automatically records your arena matches and lets you replay them afterward — health and mana bars, buffs and debuffs, crowd control, ability cast history, trinket and cooldown usage, and post-match damage/healing stats. Never argue about "what happened there" again — just watch it back.

Features

  • Fully automatic recording. No setup required — Rewind detects when you enter an arena and waits for the actual gates-open signal before recording starts, so match length and timing are accurate from the first hit.
  • Full replay window — scrub through the match on a timeline with adjustable playback speed (0.25x–3x), Play/Pause/Restart controls, and a Back button to return to your match list.
  • Live health and resource bars for every player in the match, color-coded by class and resource type (mana/rage/energy/focus).
  • Buffs, debuffs, and crowd control shown as icons above and below each player, with a dedicated banner (e.g. [Feared], [Polymorph]) whenever a player is hard-CC'd.
  • Cast-feed carousel — a live-updating row of large icons above each player showing their most recently used abilities, newest first.
  • Trinket and major cooldown tracking — see exactly when trinkets, racials, and big defensive/offensive cooldowns were used, marked on the timeline with the ability's name, icon, and who used it.
  • Damage and healing numbers pop up next to each player as they take damage or get healed during playback.
  • Post-match stats screen — damage done, highest hit, and healing done for every player, both teams side by side.
  • Match list with date, duration, map, team compositions (class icons for both sides), and win/loss result — click any row to jump straight into that match's replay.
  • Draggable minimap button for one-click access to your match history.

How to Use

  1. Just play arena. Rewind records automatically — no commands needed for normal use.
  2. Click the minimap icon (drag it anywhere around the minimap ring) to open your match history.
  3. Click any match row to open the full replay.
  4. Use the playback controls at the bottom of the replay window to scrub, play, pause, or adjust speed.
  5. Click "Show Stats" in the replay window for a damage/healing breakdown of the match.

Commands

Command What it does
/rewind ui Open the match history window (same as clicking the minimap icon)
/rewind list List saved matches in chat
/rewind delete <id> Delete a specific saved match
/rewind clear Delete all saved matches
/rewind status Show whether Rewind is currently recording
/rewind forcestart Manually start recording immediately (useful if you /reload mid-match)


Troubleshooting / advanced commands
(not needed for normal use):

Command What it does
/rewind info <id> Dump raw roster/event data for a saved match
/rewind debuglog [n] Print raw combat log data to chat for the next n events
/rewind debugcasts Print every ability cast during recording to chat
/rewind debugauras Print your current buffs to chat whenever they change

Known Limitations

  • Enemy health is shown as a rounded percentage (e.g. 68/100), not exact numbers. This is a Blizzard client restriction on units outside your group, not a Rewind limitation — no addon can get exact enemy health values, including AAV or Gladdy.
  • Arena rating/MMR is not shown. This data isn't exposed to addons at all. Any addon claiming to show exact real-time MMR is estimating, not reading a real value — Rewind doesn't fake this.
  • Win/loss is inferred, not read directly from a "you won" flag (Blizzard doesn't expose one). Rewind compares confirmed deaths between teams to determine the result, which is accurate in the vast majority of matches.
  • Trinket/cooldown detection depends on the ability going through the game's normal spell-cast system. The overwhelming majority of abilities do. On rare occasions a specific ability effect may not be visible to any addon; this isn't unique to Rewind.

Requirements

Built for TBC Classic. If you're on a private server, Rewind includes automatic fallbacks for several common client differences (event availability, API return signatures) — if something doesn't work exactly right on your specific server, please report it.
