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.

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.

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.

Esc > Options > AddOns > WU - Warrior Utilities. /wu opens the same page.

• General — how to use the addon, the slash commands and a Discord link to copy
• CDM — one section per WU layout (where each buff goes and its alerts) with a Create button, and Restore Backup

Create WU-Fury adds a new Cooldown Manager layout named WU-Fury that holds only the buffs below. Your other layouts aren't changed. WU-Fury becomes the active layout, and the UI reloads.

• The buffs are listed in their section in this order. A buff can have up to 3 alerts.
• The Cooldown Manager plays the alerts itself, so they work 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-Fury layout instead of adding another one.
• A layout named WU made by an older version is renamed to WU-Fury the first time you press Create.
• 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.

/wuutil is an alias.

• Mark I: bar glow at the first mark.
• Mark II: brighter glow at the second mark.
• Marks are a percent of max rage (100 for warriors).
• Rage bar styles: Modern (flat), Classic (vanilla gold frame), Rage (fiery fill with a choice of eight borders, or none).
