WU - Warrior Utilities

A lightweight rage bar and Cooldown Manager setup (Optional) for warriors on World of Warcraft: Forever.

WU keeps your rage on screen with marks at the amounts you care about. Sets up Blizzard's Cooldown Manager (Optional) so Battle Shout, Demoralizing Shout and Sunder Armor are tracked right where you need them. The addon only loads on warriors, and settings are saved per character.

Install

1. Unzip the addon zip.
2. Delete any older WU - Warrior Utilities folder from Interface\AddOns.
3. Copy the WU - Warrior Utilities folder into World of Warcraft\_classic_beta_\Interface\AddOns.
4. Restart WoW or /reload.
5. Log in on a warrior (the addon stays off on other classes).

Settings are saved per character.

Rage bar in Edit Mode

Open Edit Mode (Esc > Edit Mode) and drag the bar, or click it and use the arrow keys (Shift moves 10). Clicking the bar opens its Edit Mode panel:

Plus Reset To Default and Reset To Default Position.

• These settings are per character and the same in every Edit Mode layout.
• The position is per layout; copying, renaming or deleting a layout carries it along.
• Outside Edit Mode the bar can't be moved and clicks pass through it.
• The bar does not snap to the Edit Mode grid or to other frames.

Options

Esc > Options > AddOns > WU - Warrior Utilities. The addon compartment button by the minimap and /wu open the same page.

CDM (Blizzard's Cooldown Manager)

Create WU Layout adds a Cooldown Manager layout named WU with Battle Shout, Demoralizing Shout and Sunder Armor first in Tracked Buffs. It starts as a copy of your active layout (or empty when you have no layouts), becomes the active layout, and the UI reloads.

• Sunder Armor gets one alert: Sound, On Aura Removed, Text to Speech. The Cooldown Manager plays it itself, so it works in combat.
• The Cooldown Manager has no "seconds remaining" alert, so there is no warning before Sunder falls off.
• Pressing Create again rebuilds the WU layout instead of adding another one.
• Out of combat only.

The first Create saves your previous layouts. Restore Backup puts them back (Cooldown Manager changes made since then are lost) and reloads the UI. If you had no layouts, there is nothing to back up and no backup is saved.

The Cooldown Manager's saved data format is not documented by Blizzard. If a patch changes it, Create refuses and changes nothing.

Slash commands
