Description
Important information:
Since version 2.3, the add-on saves all values in WTF\Account\ACCNAME\REALM\Character! No longer globally. This makes it easy to create separate orbs for each character. For those who have used rOrbs before: please delete the rOrbs files in your WTF folder. Otherwise, problems will occur.
rOrbs – Diablo-Style Health & Power Orbs for World of Warcraft
rOrbs replaces World of Warcraft's default player and target unit frames with animated, round orbs inspired by the iconic health and mana globes from the Diablo series. The result is a dark, atmospheric UI that keeps all your critical combat information front and center — wrapped in a visual style that feels nothing like the default WoW interface.
What Does rOrbs Do?
rOrbs fully replaces Blizzard's default player and target frames with a custom set of glowing, multi-layered orbs. Your health, your mana or class resource, your target's health, your target's target, and your target's cast progress are all displayed through these orbs. The stock Blizzard frames are hidden entirely — rOrbs takes over from the ground up.

How Does rOrbs Change Your Play Experience?
Instead of watching flat health bars tick down during a fight, you're looking at two glowing, living spheres. Your health orb starts pulsing red when you're low — a visceral visual warning you can't miss in the heat of combat. When your target starts casting, the progress ring around their orb lights up. Your combo points or runes appear as small glowing icons in a semicircle beneath your health globe. Decorative angel and demon figures flank your orbs like guardians. The result is a UI that feels dramatically less like a generic MMO interface and much more like the dark, immersive aesthetic of an action RPG — without sacrificing any of the actual information you need to play well.
