BlizzardSince the launch of Midnight, we’ve continued to iterate on the addon-related changes introduced in the Midnight pre-patch. In the 12.1 Curse of Ula’tek update, we are pleased to be taking the next major step in that work. This work reflects the insights and feedback shared by our community, with a focus on auras, commonly referred to by players as buffs and debuffs.
These changes focus on preventing auras (whether on the player, enemies, or party and raid members) from leaking important combat information that can be used for combat automation. At the same time, we want addons to continue being able to show auras in a variety of custom ways.
To support that goal, Curse of Ula’tek will introduce new APIs that allow addons to display filtered sets of auras in customized ways, without exposing the underlying aura information that could be used for automation. Addons that currently display auras will need to be updated to support these new APIs, and we’ll be working directly with addon authors throughout the Curse of Ula’tek PTR to help them adapt to these changes and gather feedback during testing.
