What it does
IceHUD follows older HUD addons such as DHUD and MetaHUD. The idea is to keep your eyes in the center of the screen where your character is, with health and mana bars, the cast bar, pet bars and target info all placed there.
Bar shapes, patterns, positions and text can all be changed. There are class modules too, for example combo point counters for Rogues and Druids, Slice and Dice timers, a Druid mana bar while shapeshifted, and a Sunder counter for Warriors.
You can also build custom bars and counters that track buff or debuff stacks on any unit, spell cooldowns, or the health and mana of a unit you specify.
Key features
- Health and mana bars for player, target and pet, plus cast and mirror bars.
