Does WeakAuras work on WoW Forever?
Short answer: ❌ No. WeakAuras had no Forever file on 25 Oct 2026. Forks by other authors and the built-in Cooldown Manager fill part of the gap.
| Option | Forever? | Note |
|---|---|---|
| WeakAuras | ❌ No | Newest file lists Classic only |
| ForeverAuras | ✅ Yes (1.0.2) | Fork by another author |
| Musca Auras | ✅ Yes (1.14.0) | Fork with class HUD presets |
| ⏱️ Cooldown Manager | ✅ Built in | Options > Gameplay Enhancement |
| TellMeWhen | ✅ Yes | Icons for cooldowns and buffs |
Why it broke
Forever runs on the modern client, which hides much of the combat data from addons and blocks the combat log. Aura addons have to be rebuilt around those limits.
What the forks can and can't do (per Musca Auras)
| ✅ Works | ❌ Doesn't |
|---|---|
| Your buffs, debuffs and cooldowns in combat (Aura (Modern) trigger) | Combat-log triggers |
| Health and power alerts | Other players' casts and enemy IDs in instances |
| Your own DoT timers | Old custom code that uses removed functions |
⚠️ Forks aren't made by the WeakAuras team. Check the author, the date and the readable source before installing.
