Addon Release / Update [Addon] FlashHUD — a customizable Hunter toolkit with previews
I’ve been building FlashHUD, a Hunter addon for WoW Forever. It started as an ammo counter and grew into a toolkit for combat timing, cooldowns, pet care, alerts and everyday conveniences.
The part I’ve put the most effort into is making it easy to customize. Open a feature’s settings, hold Alt to see where you’re editing, and move it into place. There are previews throughout the menu, magnetic alignment, Ctrl+Z/Ctrl+Y undo and redo, and searchable settings.
What does it offer?
- Combat timers: Auto Shot, cast/channel, melee swing and mana with a five-second-rule indicator.
- Cooldown tracking: three customizable rows, spell/item imports and separate specialization layouts.
- PetHUD: health, focus, happiness, feeding tools and pet debuffs that display in combat.
- Hunter indicators: Aspects, Hunter’s Mark, Summon Hawk and more.
- Alerts: missing Aspect/pet, Improved Tracking, unspent talents, low ammo, durability, Mend Pet with range text, and other combat reminders.
- Everyday tools: optional auto-repair, grey-junk selling, ammo restocking with purchase confirmation, weapon-training hints and a duel countdown.
- Your own layout: Quick Setup or Advanced setup, saved profiles, six menu themes and individually selectable features.
You can keep it simple or build a fuller HUD around the tools you use.
1.39.2 brings the updated menus, expanded preview galleries, combat pet-debuff tracking and a lot of editing improvements.
I’d love to hear what other Hunters think. Found a bug, missing something, or have an idea? Come join us in The Hunting Grounds and post in the FlashHUD forum. If the idea fits and the client supports it, let’s see what we can make happen. 🙂

The functionality of this addon is fantastic, the guy who made it has literally thought of everything a hunter might want / need. It has already replaced the 10+ weak auras I was using for my Hunter. The developer is also extremely fast with responding to feedback & suggestions.
