FAQ
How do I turn on the Cooldown Manager in WoW Forever?
It is off by default. Switch it on in the options (Gameplay Enhancement or Advanced Options) or type /cdm. Since October 1 it works for Druid, Mage, Priest, Rogue, Warrior and Warlock, and for racial abilities.
How do I turn on the swing timer in WoW Forever?
Options, Advanced Options, Swing Timer. Then place the bars for main hand, off hand and ranged in Edit Mode.
Does WoW Forever have boss warnings like Retail?
No. The boss timeline of Retail is switched off in Forever, so DBM or BigWigs stay the source for boss timers.
Classic or Enhanced preset: which should I pick?
Classic keeps the old look: SD models, no quest markers, separate bags and transmog off. Enhanced turns on HD models, quest markers, the one-bag window and transmog. You can change it later in the options.
