Wotation - Rotation Helper
Every spec plays differently, and no two players treat their cooldowns the same way. Wotation - Rotation Helper for World of Warcraft hands the control back to you by turning Blizzard's Assisted Combat suggestions into a movable, keybind-ready display that follows your rules instead of generic defaults. If you have ever stared at a suggested spell and thought "I would never press that there," this addon is built for exactly you.
Why a Customizable Rotation Helper Matters
Blizzard's built-in Assisted Combat highlight is a useful starting point, but it does not know your preferences. In an arena you want single-target pressure; in a dungeon you want spreading AoE. Wotation - Rotation Helper lets you dictate which spells may appear at all, then brings useful abilities into view with your own conditions. The base engine stays Blizzard's, and your profile supplies the priorities.
Replace Unwanted Suggestions
- Exclude a spell in PvP, PvE, or both with one setting.
- When Blizzard suggests an excluded spell, Wotation searches your profile's priority list for an eligible replacement.
- Keep single-target priorities in PvP while filtering unwanted AoE suggestions in arenas and battlegrounds.
- Automatic context switching applies your PvP or PvE rules without manual toggling.
Add your own spells and trinkets as main or secondary icons: defensives, crowd control, offensive cooldowns, or equipped on-use trinkets. Set reminders based on time since your last cast, with interval, combat, target type, and active proc highlight conditions. Do you always forget Hamstring? Wotation will not let you.
Save Setups per Specialization
Keep an Arena setup and a Dungeon setup for the same spec, then switch in settings or with /wot set <name>. The live explanation in settings tells you why a spell is displayed, identifying Blizzard's suggestion, a replacement, or one of your added spells. Exclude that AoE suggestion for PvP, arrange your single-target replacement priorities, and Wotation can show an eligible replacement in the large icon while you decide separately whether to exclude it in PvE.
Clear Icons and Practical Extras
Move, resize, and lock the display to sit exactly where your eyes need it. Customize keybind labels, including size, color, and position. Keybind support covers the default bars, ElvUI, Bartender4, and Dominos, with manual label overrides for anything unusual. The main icon carries cooldown information, proc highlighting, and range or usability feedback whenever the game exposes that data, while smaller icons show additional eligible spells and reminders.
Presets are included for 40 specializations across DPS, tank, and healer setups. Treat them as starting points and tune them for your talents. Reapplying Recommended settings can replace existing preset-related settings, so adjust deliberately. English and French interfaces are included, and three built-in PvP guides cover Retribution Paladin, Arms Warrior, and Assassination Rogue with practical notes and copy-ready macros.
If you prefer one-click convenience, the foxygame.net launcher bundles Wotation - Rotation Helper into its addon catalog, so you can install and keep it updated without leaving the app. Whether you grab it through CurseForge or want to download Wotation - Rotation Helper another way, the launcher tracks version compatibility across recent World of Warcraft releases.
Compatibility Across World of Warcraft Versions
Wotation - Rotation Helper for World of Warcraft adapts across the game's different eras. Retail gets the full Assisted Combat integration, while Classic, TBC, WotLK, Cataclysm, and MoP remain covered for players who want rotation guidance in older content. Addon compatibility stays flexible, so keybind overrides work whether you run default action bars or heavier UI overhauls.
How to Install
- Download Wotation - Rotation Helper through CurseForge or your preferred addon manager and enable it for your character.
- Turn on Blizzard's Assisted Combat highlight in the game's Combat options and keep your preferred spells on your action bars.
- Open /wot config or use the minimap button, review your specialization's settings, position the display, and lock it.
- Open /wot extras to customize added spells and reminders.
Useful commands: /wot config, /wot extras, /wot guide, /wot set <name>, and /wot status. Make a habit of running /wot status if something looks off; the addon is designed to surface what is happening.
What Wotation Does and Does Not Do
Wotation displays suggestions; it does not cast spells for you. You press your own spell keys. If you compare it to Hekili, the prominent spell icon and smaller icons look familiar, but the recommendation comes from Blizzard's Assisted Combat engine rather than an independent simulation. Small icons show eligible spells and reminders, not a guaranteed sequence of future casts. Timed reminders use time since your last cast rather than live aura tracking on each target, so they do not detect dispels or decide when a tank needs a defensive. When the game restricts resource information, a replacement may show up before you have enough resources, and excluded spells are never restored as a fallback. Use the presets, tune them to your spec, and let Wotation - Rotation Helper make every suggestion one you actually want to press.
