Better Interrupt Tracker(BetterInterruptTracker)
In the chaos of a Mythic+ pull or a raid boss fight, knowing who landed the kick can be the difference between a clean kill and a wipe. The default UI gives you almost nothing in this department, leaving you to guess whether your interrupt actually connected or if the cast slipped through. Better Interrupt Tracker(BetterInterruptTracker) solves this by putting a compact, highly readable list of successful interrupts right on your screen, so you always know exactly who saved the group.
Why You Need a Dedicated Interrupt Tracker
Most interrupt tracking in World of Warcraft relies on combat log parsing or third-party damage meters. Those tools work, but they bury the information under a mountain of DPS numbers and healing charts. This addon focuses on one thing only: successful kicks. It strips away everything else, giving you a clean, color-coded feed of every interrupt that lands, whether it comes from you, your party, or even nearby players outside your group.
Core Features at a Glance
- Track successful interrupts, including your own, in real time.
- Display up to 10 recent entries with character names, class colors, and kick icons.
- Adjust the width, row height, scale, and number of visible entries to match your UI.
- Drag the tracker into position, then lock it to allow clicks to pass through.
- Preview the display without entering combat using a built-in test mode.
- Save your settings and position account-wide, so every alt gets the same setup.
- No other addons required – it works standalone out of the box.
How the Tracking Works
Each detected kick creates a new entry at the top of the list. The entry shows the character's name, a class-colored progress bar, a kick icon, and the interrupted target's raid marker when available. A 15-second countdown starts immediately, with the bar filling as time passes. Once the countdown ends, the name, icon, and full bar remain visible until 30 seconds after the kick. New interrupts push older ones down, and when you hit the row limit, the oldest entries drop off to make room.
It is important to understand that the 15-second countdown is a fixed visual timer, not the player's actual interrupt cooldown. The icons represent class abilities and may differ from the spell actually used; classes that do not have a standard interrupt use Rogue Kick as the fallback icon. Tracking relies on enemy nameplate events, so some interrupts may be missed in rare cases, and the list can include nearby players outside your party. Each kick creates a separate entry, and newer entries can replace older ones before the 30-second mark when the row limit is reached. History clears on zone entry, Mythic+ start, reload, or when tracking is disabled.
Getting Started with Better Interrupt Tracker(BetterInterruptTracker)
Setting up the addon takes less than a minute. Enable enemy nameplates in your interface options, then type /bit to open the settings panel. From there, you can tweak every visual aspect, from the width and row height to the scale and the number of visible entries. Use /bit test to preview the display without entering combat, and /bit unlock to drag the tracker into your preferred position. When you are happy with the placement, type /bit lock to fix it in place and allow clicks to pass through.
