Damage & threat metersClassic version exists — Forever support not confirmed
Records damage, healing, interrupts and deaths per fight and shows them in compact bars, with a detailed breakdown per player and spell.

Boss timersClassic version exists — Forever support not confirmed
Warns you about boss abilities with timers, on-screen alerts and sounds. Install the core addon plus the Vanilla module for Classic dungeons and raids.

8. BigWigs
Boss timersClassic version exists — Forever support not confirmed
A lighter, modular alternative to DBM with boss timers and warnings. Classic bosses come from the separate BigWigs_Classic module.

Addon safety
- Download from official sources only. Use the CurseForge, Wago, GitHub or author links above. Reuploads on other sites can be outdated or bundled with malware.
- Addons are free. Blizzard's UI Add-On Development Policy requires every add-on to be distributed free of charge, with code that is visible to anyone. Paid "premium" addons break that policy.
- An addon is a folder of text and image files. Unzip it into your AddOns folder. You never need to run an installer or an .exe for the addon itself.
- Never enter your Battle.net login into an addon, an addon website or a "Forever addon pack" download page.

WoW Forever addons FAQ
Does WoW Forever support addons?
Yes, but with limits. The Forever client supports addons, and Blizzard designers told Kotaku that the in-combat "addon disarmament" from retail WoW's Midnight expansion comes to Forever: addons that do calculations or automate marking and communication in combat will not work. Blizzard has not listed which addons are affected. We update the status of each addon on this page as the beta build (September 17, 2026) and addon authors confirm support.
Will my Classic Era addons work in WoW Forever?
Not confirmed. Every addon on this list has a Classic Era version today, but Forever adds new quests, zones, dungeons, raids and class changes. Addons that rely on their own data, like quest helpers and boss timers, need updates from their authors before they cover the new content.
Do I have to pay for WoW addons?
No. Blizzard's UI Add-On Development Policy says all add-ons must be distributed free of charge, with no premium versions and no payment to download. If a site asks you to pay for an addon, do not buy it.
Where should I download addons for WoW Forever?
Only from the official pages linked on this list: CurseForge, Wago, the author's GitHub or the author's own website. Avoid reuploads on other sites and any download that comes as an .exe instead of a folder of addon files.
