WarriorCombatManager is a lightweight timeline helper for TurtleWoW (SuperWoW supported setups) that helps you plan and execute cooldown stacking on boss fights.
It combines:
- Boss kill time history (via BigWigs BossRecords when available),
- a live prediction adjustment based on the boss HP% drop rate,
- and a clean timeline UI that shows when to press key cooldowns and usable trinkets, with an optional Execute-phase zoom.
This addon does not play the game for you. It just makes it harder to mess up your cooldown timing, which is apparently a full-time hobby for most humans.
- Prediction baseline from BigWigs history (average of last kills).
- Fallback prediction when no history exists (default: 120s).
- Live prediction adjustment that continuously refines the predicted kill time using boss HP% drop rate (smoothed and rate-limited).
- Timeline bar that represents the fight duration.
- Ability and trinket icons placed on the timeline based on cooldown schedule.
- Highlight logic:
- Bright icon: press now
- Semi-bright: coming soon
- Dim: not relevant yet
- Optional Next Action icon (always on top) for the most important press “right now”.
- Execute detection based on boss HP% threshold (default: 20%).
- Optional behavior:
- Turn the bar red during Execute phase.
- Zoom into the Execute window so icons do not overlap and the timeline becomes easier to read.
- Automatically reads your equipped trinkets (slot 13 and 14).
- Displays trinkets only if they have a Use effect (detected via item spell or tooltip scanning).
- Uses inventory cooldowns, so it stays accurate even if your trinket cooldown differs.
- Optional “Lock to boss” mode.
- Prevents adds from hijacking prediction or execute detection by locking sampling to the engaged boss (by name and, when possible, GUID).
- Movable and scalable timeline bar.
- Options window:
- Movable
- Always on top
- Close button (X) and ESC support
- Auto-hide out of combat (optional).
- TurtleWoW client
- BigWigs recommended (for best predictions), but not required
WCM will still run without BigWigs. You just lose the history baseline and rely more on live prediction.

- Locked
- Locks the timeline position (disables dragging).
- Scale
- Changes bar size in real time (no reload needed).
- Position X / Y
- Sliders + edit boxes for pixel-perfect positioning.
- Auto-hide out of combat
- Hides the bar when you are not in combat and WCM is not running.
- Enable BigWigs integration
- Uses BossRecords history if available.
- Lock prediction to boss (ignore adds)
- Locks sampling to the boss (recommended for fights with adds).
- Live prediction adjustment
- Updates prediction as the boss HP% drops, with smoothing and warmup.
- Execute threshold (%)
- Default: 20
- Execute zoom enabled
- Zooms into the execute window for better readability.
- Zoom by execute percent
- Zoom window is derived from the execute threshold percent.
- Execute makes bar red
- Visual cue for execute phase.
- Strict final stacking window (last 30s)
- Prioritizes a “best use now” during the final window.
- Show Next Action icon
- Displays the top-priority press as a large icon on top of everything.
-
When a boss is engaged, WCM sets an initial predicted kill time:
- If BigWigs history exists: average of recent kills.
- If not: default fallback (e.g. 120 seconds).
-
During the fight, WCM monitors the boss HP% drop:
- After a short warmup and minimum HP% drop, it estimates total fight duration from the observed slope.
- It then smooths the predicted value so it does not jump wildly every update.
-
In Execute phase (based on your threshold), WCM can zoom into the last part of the fight for clarity.
- Make sure BigWigs is enabled.
- Make sure the BigWigs BossRecords module is present.
- Run
/wcm diagand checkhooked=true.
- Turn on Lock to boss (ignore adds).
- Live prediction needs a few seconds and a few % HP drop before it stabilizes.
- Extremely phase-heavy fights can still cause changes. That is not magic, it is reality.
- WCM only shows trinkets with a Use effect.
- Some items are “equip proc” only and will be intentionally hidden.
- If the item is a Use trinket and still not shown, try:
/reload- unequip and re-equip the trinket
- check that it is in slot 13/14
- Position is stored. If your UI scale changed, positions can shift.
- Use Options Position X/Y to correct it, then it will persist.
- Per-boss profiles (optional), to account for forced downtime phases.
- Better “status indicator” (locked boss found, adjusting, frozen, etc).
- Settings reset button.
- Trinket use caching (performance improvement).
Built for TurtleWoW warriors who like big numbers, clean cooldown windows, and fewer mistakes.
