Description
TrinketAlert - know the instant an enemy trinkets
TrinketAlert watches the trinket cooldown that Blizzard draws on the arena unit frames and calls it out the moment an enemy pops their PvP trinket. No combat log parsing, no delay, no setup: install it, join an arena, hear it.
Why players use it
- Instant detection - it hooks the very cooldown the game itself displays, so the alert lands the moment the trinket goes on cooldown.
- Your ears, not your eyes - pick a sound effect, or let text to speech say the class name out loud (EN/FR/DE/ES).
- Readable at a glance - class-coloured on-screen alert with the trinket icon, sized and placed exactly where you want it.
- Team awareness - optionally announce it in instance, party, say or yell chat so your partner knows too.
- Great for swaps - mark enemy healers as "Healer" instead of showing their class.
- No spam - a smart re-arm window keeps one trinket to one callout.
- Zero bloat - no required libraries, tiny footprint, runs alongside your unit frame addon (sArena, default Blizzard frames, ...).
- Up to date for Midnight / patch 12.1.
