ShakeIt

ShakeIt adds visceral feedback to your combat — every time you crit (damage or healing), your UI elements shake briefly. This creates a satisfying "impact" feeling that makes combat feel more responsive without being distracting.

What Shakes?

Two effects, each one can be turned on or off and tuned separately:

UI frame shake moves "safe" UI elements like:

• Action bars
• Minimap
• Buff/Debuff frames
• Casting bar
• Quest tracker
• Most third-party addon frames

Camera shake rattles the camera itself, like the Fel Reaver's footsteps.

What Stays Put?

Important elements remain untouched:

• Chat frames (so you can still read)
• Player/Target/Pet unit frames (they use special animations)
• Enemy nameplates/raid frames

Performance

ShakeIt is designed to be lightweight:

• No noticeable FPS impact
• Scans once at startup (or on your first crit), typically in a few milliseconds
• Only visible frames are moved — hidden windows are skipped per shake
• The combat log handler allocates nothing, so it stays cheap in raids
• Uses only native WoW API calls

Features

• Automatic Detection: Detects all your critical hits and critical heals (melee, ranged, spells, HoTs)
• Combat-Safe: Only shakes non-protected UI elements that can be moved during combat
• Configurable: Settings panel to toggle each effect and tune its strength — with test buttons to preview and a reset to defaults
• Works Out Of The Box: Sensible defaults, both effects on
• Addon-Friendly: Handles frames from third-party addons gracefully

Settings

Open with /shakeit config or via Interface Options → ShakeIt.
