SparkPoint

Cast rings, cooldown arcs, class resources, and assisted-combat cues around your cursor.

If SparkPoint has been useful for your runs, I’d really appreciate a small favor: leave a kind word about it on CurseForge, Discord, Reddit, or wherever your WoW friends hang out. A quick rating, short comment, or screenshot helps far more than you might think, and it genuinely helps the addon reach more players. Thanks for helping SparkPoint grow, and happy Midnight to you all!
