ArcHUD3
Midnight Changes: I have created a version of ArcHUD3 that is compatible with Midnight!! With the API changes in 12.0, it is no longer possible to create the exact smooth arcs used here, but I've made the closest approximation I could. There is some polish that is no longer possible for arcs that rely on secret values (health, power, etc), like the spark, smooth animations, angled tips, etc. If you notice any issues (there are likely several), feel free to open an issue on GitHub.
ArcHUD displays smooth arcs around your character in the middle of the screen to inform you about the health and power (mana, rage, ...) of you, your pet, and your target. In addition, it shows casts, combo points, holy power, soul shards, and a couple of other things. It discretely fades when you are out of combat and at full health/power.
This is a continuation of ArcHUD2 which managed to survive various patches... until the Cataclysm. Thanks to Nenie, the original author of ArcHUD2, for supporting me with this new version.
Please report any bugs or feature requests via the ticket system.
These arcs are currently supported:
- Health and power (mana, rage, focus, energy, runic power) for player, pet, target, and focus target
- Player's secondary power (Holy Power, Soul Shards, Chi etc.)
- Casting/channelling progress for player, target, and focus target
- Fatigue/breath (mirror timer)
- Combo points (including unconsumed combo points on previous target, e.g. on dead corpses)
- Custom (de)buff arcs: Ever wanted to keep track of the stacks and/or remaining times of some specific (de)buffs such as Evangelism, Savage Roar, Beacon of Light, Weakened Soul, etc? Then just create your own custom (de)buff arc for it!
In addition, some additional target information is displayed:
- Current target (name, class, guild, 3D model)
- Current (de)buffs on target
- Target-of-target and target-of-target-of-target
Small warning: Using this addon apparently bears a high risk of getting addicted to it, as these user comments suggest. I received those after taking over the development of ArcHUD when the Cataclysm happened:
- "...nothing ever quite matched the smooth, clean simplicity of ArcHUD's graceful rings."
- "Great job!! I've used this addon for years! None of the other HUDs come close to the functionality and elegance of ArcHUD."
- "Thanks for the work on it so far, much more lightweight than IceHud!"
- "Was staring at the various icehud/metahud alternatives with discomfort and sadness right after the patch [4.0]."
- "Awesome! Thank you so much for that miracle!"
- "Thank you so much for continuing this fantastic addon."
- "...nothing could compare to ArcHUD..."
- "For a whole 4years I had this mod and I missed it so much in the passed few weeks. I tried other HUD mods but they were too in my face >.< . Best HUD mod IMO! Thanks for resurrecting an old friend :D"
- "Loving the new ArcHUD my favorite HUD by far :)"
- "I don't think I could play wow without this addon :)"
- "I've actually grown kind of dependent on it because I'll occasionally run out of Mana/ die without this."
- "Hey mate, just came to thank You again for taking over this beauty, awesome job!"
- "THAT addon! So long I have been searching for a replacement when the development stopped, thanks for bringing it back to live!"
So use it at your own risk ;)
Frequently Asked Questions
- How do I add a arc for a specific buff/debuff (remaining time & stacks)?
- Where is my Combo Point/Soul Shard Numeric Indicator?

Posted Jan 6, 2013Well it seems more like a bug than something you need to build an addon for ;)
I have those frames disabled myself and could not reproduce this. Could you try to save and then delete ArcHUD's config from the WTF folder and reconfigure it ingame? If that solves your problem, please send me your old config via the ticket system (same login as with curse).

In the config under "Positioning" you can unlock the frames and move them freely on your screen. After you are finished, you should lock them again. Does this help in what you are trying to accomplish?

Posted Jan 2, 2013Maybe this already exists, but it would be nice to have the target info above the bottom left and right action bar. I guess it's in a good place for the ones who don't use them but i can't see it where my action bars are

Posted Dec 4, 2012Hey there, there seems to be an issue with the DK runes ring where I cannot move the side it anchors to, nor can I move the number placement of the arc so it's basically stuck in that one place.
Minor annoyance but I've gotten so used to having enemy statistics displayed on the Right side and my own on the left. Thanks for an awesome addon btw :)

Posted Oct 9, 2012This is my favorite Hud Mod but I have one small annoyance:
For some reason, the movable frame does not remember that I want it to display below the arcs. Every log in, I have to tick then untick the option to have it display above the arcs for it to display below the arcs. When I log in, the movable frames appear on the middle-right of my screen. I submitted a ticket.Thanks for your time and this great mod!
Edit: dismiss, I was able to fix it by deleting the saved var and resetting up from scratch. It's now working properly!

Posted Oct 1, 2012OMG, I was so happy to see someone continuing this addon. Was by far my favorite hud when I quit a couple of years back. So glad to have it back. It's everything my rusty brain remembers.
I do however have one request, if possible. Is there any chance you could add a GCD tracker to the cast bar, or something like that? My rotations with the new spell/talents/everything involve a lot of instant cast spells, so I find myself any more in the need to track the GCD lol

Posted Oct 3, 2012Thanks ;)
AFAIR, tracking the GCD is not easy since it needs some kind of reference spell. I do, however, plan to add custom cooldown rings in a future version (similar to the custom buff rings). There, you probably will be able to add an instant spell as a reference to show the GCD.
Feel free to add a ticket, though ;)
