CooldownStash

Set it up once. Carry it to every character.

A one-click cross-character tool for Blizzard's native Cooldown Manager. Lay out your cooldowns once, then reuse that exact layout on every alt of the same spec.

Stop rebuilding the same layout on every alt.

The Problem

Great manager. Painful on alts.

Since 12.0, the in-game Cooldown Manager (CDM) tracks your cooldowns natively — no third-party tracker required. But the layout lives per character. Every alt starts from a blank editor, and switching to a second account means doing it all over again. CooldownStash fixes exactly that one thing.

Save

Lay it out once. Save it forever.

Arrange your cooldowns in Blizzard's own CDM editor, then open CooldownStash and click Save Current. Give it a name. That layout is now stored as a named preset, persisted across reloads, logouts, and game restarts.

Apply

One click on every alt.

Hop to another character, open CooldownStash, pick a preset, and click Apply. Your CDM layout is restored instantly. Because Blizzard only writes CDM settings to disk on reload, the addon offers a Reload Now confirmation so the layout is committed properly — one /reload and it sticks.

Class + Spec Aware

The right preset, automatically.

Presets are keyed by class and spec. A Destruction Warlock sees Destruction presets; a Holy Paladin sees Holy presets. No scrolling through layouts that don't belong to the character you're on. Cross-spec and cross-class layouts are intentionally kept apart, because each cooldown is bound to a class-specific ID — mixing them just produces empty or wrong icons.

Cross-Account Sync

Home rig. Work rig. Same layouts.

Two accounts? Click Export All to String on the source account, copy the text, then Import & Merge from String on the target. It's an incremental merge — presets with the same name are never overwritten, so nothing you already saved gets clobbered.

Philosophy

Stores and moves. Nothing more.

CooldownStash does not parse, render, or take over any part of the Cooldown Manager. It reads the layout string Blizzard gives it, stores it, and hands it back. Your CDM stays 100% native — the addon is just the courier.

Use /cds to open the main window.

Requires the 12.0 Cooldown Manager. On older clients the buttons stay disabled with a clear notice.

冷却仓库

摆一次，带走所有角色。

一个针对暴雪原生「冷却管理器」的跨角色一键复用工具。把冷却图标摆好一次，同职业同专精的所有小号都能直接套用这套布局。

切个小号，不用再从头摆一遍。

痛点

管理器很好用，小号很难受。

12.0 起，游戏内置了冷却管理器（CDM），原生追踪技能冷却，不再需要第三方插件。但布局是按角色保存的：每个小号都是一张空白编辑器，换个账号又得从零摆一次。CooldownStash 就只解决这一件事。

保存

摆好一次，永久留存。

先用暴雪原生 CDM 编辑器把冷却图标摆好，再打开 CooldownStash 点保存当前，起个名字。这套布局就被存成一个命名预设，重载、下线、重启游戏都不会丢。

应用

每个小号，一键套用。

切到另一个角色，打开 CooldownStash，选中预设点应用选中，CDM 布局立刻还原。由于暴雪只在重载时才把 CDM 配置落盘，插件会弹一个立即重载确认框，让布局正确写入 — 一次 /reload 就稳稳生效。

职业 + 专精识别

永远只给你看对的预设。

预设按职业和专精分类存放。毁灭术士只看到毁灭的预设，神圣骑士只看到神圣的预设，不用在一堆和当前角色无关的布局里翻找。跨专精、跨职业的布局被刻意隔开 — 因为每个冷却图标都绑定了职业相关的技能 ID，混用只会得到一堆空图标或错图标。

跨账号同步

家里、公司，同一套布局。

两个账号？在源账号点导出全部到字符串，复制那一串文本，到目标账号点从字符串导入合并即可。这是增量合并 — 同名预设永远不会被覆盖，已经存好的东西不会被冲掉。

设计哲学

只负责存取和搬运，仅此而已。

CooldownStash 不解析、不渲染、不接管冷却管理器的任何逻辑。它只是读取暴雪给的布局字符串，存起来，再原样交还。你的 CDM 始终是 100% 原生的 — 这个插件只是个搬运工。

输入 /cds 打开主窗口。

需要 12.0 的冷却管理器。在更早的客户端上，按钮会保持灰色并给出明确提示。
