⚠️ PvP is not a target use case. Detection and tracking are tuned for PvE (Mythic+, raid, dungeons, open world). Arena- and battleground-specific mechanics — Precognition mirroring, multi-shaman Grounding Totem attribution, mind-control swaps, faction-mirror buffs — are out of scope. The addons still load in PvP instances; expect false positives and missed attributions there.
⚠️ Group sync limitation (ZaeUI_Interrupts) — Since the Midnight pre-patch (12.0, January 2026), Blizzard silently blocks addon-to-addon communication inside active Mythic+ runs, PvP matches and raid boss encounters. Cross-player sync for ZaeUI_Interrupts therefore does not work in those contexts — this affects every sync-based addon, not just ZaeUI. Everything still works in the open world, in dungeons before the keystone is activated, in raids between pulls, and in solo play.✅ ZaeUI_Defensives (v3+) works in every PvE context, including M+ and raid encounters: it infers group cooldowns locally from aura events instead of relying on addon messages. Only you need the addon installed.
All ZaeUI addons share a common settings panel under Escape → Options → AddOns → ZaeUI. A minimap button (provided by ZaeUI_Shared) gives one-click access to this panel; drag it around the minimap to reposition, or toggle it off in the Global section of the ZaeUI panel.
