SwangThang

Melee and ranged swing timer for World of Warcraft: TBC Classic.

SwangThang tracks your white-hit swing timers across all attack slots — main hand, off hand, and ranged — giving every physical DPS class the precise timing feedback needed to maximize damage. It handles all the quirks of TBC melee: NMA abilities, dual-wield desync, parry haste, extra attack suppression, haste rescaling, and Druid form shifts.

Key Features

• All Melee Classes — Warrior, Rogue, Paladin, Shaman, Druid, and Hunter all get accurate swing bars tuned to their class mechanics
• Hunter Auto Shot — 0.5s cast window visualization, movement penalty retry logic, and latency compensation
• Dual-Wield Tracking — Independent MH and OH timers with correct isOffHand routing; OH bar anchors below MH automatically
• NMA Detection — Heroic Strike, Cleave, Maul, and Raptor Strike reset the MH timer on cast
• Haste Rescaling — Remaining time rescales proportionally when weapon speed changes mid-swing (Slice and Dice, Rapid Fire, haste procs)
• Parry Haste — Incoming parries reduce your MH remaining time by 40% of weapon speed (floored at 20%)
• Extra Attack Suppression — Sword Spec and Windfury Weapon extra attacks are absorbed cleanly without desyncing the timer
• Druid Forms — Form shifts reset the MH timer; bar label shows current form (Cat, Bear, DireBear, Caster)
• Seal Twist Zone — Ret Paladins get a cyan overlay marking the 0.4s window before each MH swing for seal-twisting timing
• Customizable — /swang opens a config panel to resize bars and change bar/overlay colors

Installation

Install from CurseForge or download from GitHub Releases. Place the SwangThang folder in your AddOns directory and log in.

Usage

Bars appear automatically when you enter combat. The ranged bar (Hunter) also appears when auto-shot mode starts. A spark indicator shows current progress. Left-click drag to reposition any bar — positions persist across sessions.

Bar types:

• Ranged — Black during Auto Shot cooldown (safe to move), red during cast window (do not move)
• Main Hand — MH swing cooldown
• Off Hand — OH swing cooldown

All bar colors are customizable via /swang.
