Nem: DPS Alerts
Every DPS player knows the feeling. You are deep into a boss fight, mechanics are flying, and suddenly you realize your big cooldown has been ready for ten seconds. Or worse, you have been sitting at max combo points, wasting generation. Nem: DPS Alerts exists to eliminate those moments entirely. Instead of staring at your action bars or tracking buffs in the corner of your screen, this addon brings the reminder directly to you with clear, readable alert text and spoken cues tailored to your current specialization.
What Makes Nem: DPS Alerts Stand Out
The core promise of Nem: DPS Alerts is simple: see and hear the reminder. It is not just another flashing icon in a crowded corner. The addon displays movable alert text right in your line of sight, with optional animations and voice playback for individual abilities and resource prompts. Whether you are a Frost Death Knight waiting on Pillar of Frost or an Enhancement Shaman managing Maelstrom Weapon, the addon knows exactly what to watch for.
Cooldown, Charge, and Resource Tracking
Nem: DPS Alerts covers 27 DPS specializations across all 13 classes. It tracks cooldowns when they finish, charges when they fill, and resources when they hit the cap. For example, a Beast Mastery Hunter gets alerts for Wild Thrash readiness, Barbed Shot and Kill Command charge caps, and Kill Shot availability. A Fire Mage sees Fire Blast and Phoenix Flames charge caps plus Meteor readiness. The addon automatically switches its alert set when you change your specialization, so there is no manual configuration needed when you swap from Frost to Unholy on your Death Knight.
One important note is that cooldown and recharge tracking is limited to 60 seconds or less. This keeps the addon focused on the most impactful, frequent reminders rather than long timers you can manage yourself.
Single Alert Mode and Customization
Too many alerts can become noise. That is why Nem: DPS Alerts includes Single Alert Mode. When enabled, the addon displays one eligible alert at a time in a shared position. The current reminder stays visible until it clears, then the next one appears. You can turn this off to show multiple alerts with their own vertical offsets, giving you a full picture of everything coming off cooldown at once.
Every alert is fully customizable. You can change its wording, color, sound, and position, or disable it entirely. Visual alerts and sounds have separate controls, so you can have text only, voice only, or both. The addon also manages voice playback with a priority queue, ensuring spoken cues never overlap and talk over each other.
Language and Interface Options
Nem: DPS Alerts supports 11 interface and voice languages: English, German, Spanish (Spain and Mexico), French, Italian, Korean, Portuguese, Russian, Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese. It follows your client language by default, or you can pick one in the settings. The addon also offers bundled fonts, LibSharedMedia choices, adjustable text size and outline, plus static, fade, and pulse presentation styles. You can style it to fit your UI perfectly.
Combat Only and Event-Driven Updates
By default, Nem: DPS Alerts is set to Combat Only. This keeps gameplay reminders quiet outside of fights, so you are not bothered while running around town or fishing. The addon uses event-driven updates that respond to game events and known cooldown expiries. If the game cannot provide a readable state for a particular ability, the affected alert simply stays hidden rather than showing incorrect information.
Profiles and Sharing
Nem: DPS Alerts includes shareable profiles. You can create, switch, copy, export, and import complete configurations, with separate alert settings for each spec. This is perfect for players who run multiple DPS specs or want to share their perfect setup with guildmates.
Options Panel and Slash Commands
Open the options panel with /nda. Four tabs keep everything organized. The General tab enables the addon, sets Combat Only, and chooses font, text size, outline, and language. The Audio tab selects the output channel and configures each alert's sound with previews. The Visual tab chooses animation style, toggles Single Alert Mode, and adjusts individual alert text, colors, and vertical positions. The Profiles tab manages and shares complete configurations. Bottom buttons provide Test, Unlock Frame, Center Position, and Restore Defaults. Test mode spreads alerts out so you can preview each one, even when Single Alert Mode is enabled.
Slash commands include /nda to open options, plus /nda on|off|toggle, /nda test, /nda unlock|lock, /nda center, /nda status, /nda reset, /nda resettext, /nda debug, /nda version, and /nda help. Aliases /nemdps and /nemdpsalerts also work.
