Description

Compact Runes is a re-write of DocsDebugRunes. It preserves the compact UI but adds additional features.

To configure, type /crunes or use the game menu: Esc -> Interface -> AddOns (tab in top, left corner) -> Compact Runes.  Next to the Compact Runes title on the right is a small plus sign that expands and provides more settings.

  • Runes (shown horizontally or vertically) with an optional setting to show a numeric timer for each rune. Runes are sorted by the recharge timer but it can be disabled.
  • Runic Power
  • Diseases and time left.
  • Sudden Doom, Shadow Infusion, Dark Transformation, Soul Reaper, Festering Wound, and Epidemic for Unholy.
  • Rime/Freezing Fog, Killing Machine, Icy Talons, Razorice, and Remorseless Winter for Frost
  • Death and Decay Bar for Blood and Unholy to show the buff for AoE.
  • Blood Shield
  • Vampiric Blood bar which shows the duration and cooldown.
  • LDB/Minimap Icon Support
  • RC Procs are indicated with a white border.
  • RE procs, RC procs, and wasted Blood Charges tracking in the LDB tooltip.
