About this addon
What it does
⚠️ Important notice - Patch 12.0.5
Patch 12.0.5 broke this addon.
The WoW API eventUNIT_SPELLCAST_SUCCEEDEDno longer exposes the spell ID needed by this addon, so Nameplate GCD Tracker currently does not work anymore.I’m trying to find a workaround, but for now the addon should be considered temporarily broken. :(
Thank you for your patience and support.
