What it does
Better Cast Bars
Better Cast Bars is a lightweight replacement for Blizzard's cast bars, built for clarity and accuracy in any content — raids, Mythic+, or PvP.
Features
- Enemy nameplate cast bars stacked in a single, movable anchor — casts and channels both supported
- Instant visual distinction between interruptible and non-interruptible abilities
- Dedicated bars for player, target, focus, and pet
- Accurate timer text with native cast duration tracking
- Latency indicator on the player bar so you know exactly when to stop casting
- Built-in test mode to preview and position bars without needing a target
- Automatically suppresses Blizzard's default cast bars
Customization
- Full control over bar width, height, icon size, spacing, and font size
- Per-category colors for interruptible casts, channels, and non-interruptible abilities
- Optional gradient coloring
- All bars are independently movable and lockable
