Description
ZaeUI_Interrupts
Track interrupt, stun and knockback cooldowns for all group members in real time — displayed in a floating tracker window with kick marker assignments.
Compatible with World of Warcraft Midnight (12.0.0+). Requires all group members to have the addon for full cooldown tracking.
⚠️ Important: Group sync is blocked in Mythic+, Arenas and active raid encounters
Since the Midnight pre-patch (12.0, January 2026), Blizzard restricts addon-to-addon communication during active instanced competitive content. Once a Mythic+ keystone is activated, a PvP match has started, or a raid boss encounter is in progress, addon messages between party members are silently blocked by the game. This affects every cooldown-sharing addon, not just ZaeUI_Interrupts.
What still works:
- Open world, world quests, delves
- Dungeons before the keystone is activated (in the vestibule)
- Raids between pulls
- Solo play and any non-instanced group content
- Your own cooldowns always display correctly — only the real-time broadcast to and from other players is affected inside active M+ / Arena / encounters
- Kick marker assignments propagated via addon messages are subject to the same restriction

Talent-Aware Cooldown Modifiers
The addon automatically detects the following talent reductions for the local player:
| Spell | Talent | Reduction |
|---|---|---|
| Hammer of Justice | Fist of Justice | -15s |
| Leg Sweep | Ancient Arts | -10s |

| Capacitor Totem | Static Charge | -15s |
Cooldowns also adapt to specialization (e.g. Wind Shear is 12s for Elemental/Enhancement but 30s for Restoration).

How It Works
Players broadcast their available spells and cooldown usage via addon-to-addon messaging (prefix ZaeInt). When a tracked spell is cast, its cooldown is shared with the group instantly. A heartbeat syncs spell lists every 10 seconds.
Note: Blizzard silently drops these messages while a Mythic+ run, a PvP match, or a raid encounter is active (Patch 12.0+). See the warning above for details on what still works.
Requirements
- ZaeUI_Shared — required dependency (install from CurseForge)
- All group members need the addon for full cooldown tracking
