SwedgeTimer (TBC Anniversary Update)

The legendary seal twisting timer for Retribution Paladins is BACK!

SwedgeTimer was one of the go-to swing timers for Retribution Paladins during The Burning Crusade Classic. This addon helps you master the art of "seal twisting" - timing your seal swaps to maximize damage with both Seal of Command procs and Seal of Blood hits on the same swing.

Originally designed for TBC Classic, the addon was later updated for Wrath of the Lich King Classic but those versions didn't support the new Classic Anniversary realms. I (Folktale) have personally revived and significantly expanded the addon since I was a heavy user myself.

To access settings: /st or /swedgetimer or use the Minimap Icon
