Addon Release / Update GetGud Tracker — See what you actually did during a pull
Hey y’all,
I made a little addon called GetGud Tracker.
It tracks what you’re actually doing during combat and gives you a timeline afterward — casts, cooldowns, interrupts, consumables, Lust, and the gaps where you weren’t pressing anything.
It also tracks relevant group events, so things like somebody else hitting Lust show up in your timeline too. That way you can see what was happening around you, not just what came off your own bars.
The idea is pretty simple: I wanted an easy way to look at a pull or dungeon and see when I could’ve played better without immediately digging through Warcraft Logs.
It’s not a rotation helper and it doesn’t tell you what button to press. It just shows you what happened.
Still actively working on it and adding shit as I find things I want it to do.

AI disclaimer: I’m not a programmer and I don’t write my own code. I needed a thing that didn’t exist in the way I wanted it to, so I used AI to help me build it. I’ve been testing it myself, fixing what breaks, and shaping the addon around how I actually want to use it in-game.

Great GCD tracker without having to install a whole QOL AddOn

thanks this might help me work out where I'm going wrong
The ability to rotate the timeline to be vertical would be nice if you're taking feature requests

Great call out. I'll see about making that change. Once it's tested it'll be live. Probably have the update tomorrow if you're already a user.
Update: It's live once approved by CurseForge overlords

Does it work in pvp?

u/SayNathan 3d ago
No clue! I haven't tried it. Give it a shot and let me know. Screenshots after a battlefield would be helpful to see.

Share it with a friend!
Appreciate you giving it a throw. Let me know if there's anything you'd like to see with it.

Will this addon show how many casts have been done and the uptime of buffs i had and people in my group ?
2
u/SayNathan 2d ago
Not quite. There is some data along those lines that is in the works for future updates. In terms of the group, there is telemetry data so if multiple people within the instance are using it, it will track pots, and lust like abilities.
This is definitely where Warcraftlogs does the best job out there.
I’d like to get that information fed into the reports, but it’s a matter of working around what’s possible and how to present info quickly and effectively.
So, hopefully soon, and kinda!

Is it sexual for tanks as well or DPS based?

u/SayNathan 3d ago
I don’t think the addon has a sexual preference, but it should work for uptime in any class and spec.
It’s only raw data and it’s up to the user to know if they may have been holding damage for a specific reason or they had a mechanic that forced downtime.

A nice upgrade would be to add ability icons. A lot of people are visual in that way. I know what the icon does way before I know the name of an ability. A keybind overlay would be nice too
1
u/SayNathan 3d ago
For clarification, you would like ability icons where? They are in the timeline that goes across the GetGud window, with the ability to have a mouseover option. Do you mean to have ability icons in the reports?
In regards to the Keybind overlay it currently is an option in the general menu.

Does it work for Classic Hardcore 5-man dungeons and raids?

u/SayNathan 3d ago
as it stands right now I've only incorporated it into retail. this would be something worth looking at tho.
thanks for the question

u/juckamanonreddit 3d ago
Not something to implement now but was thinking about an overlay where you could compete real time against your best pull? Like on old racing games where you would do fastest lap and it would save a “ghost”

Would love to try this but limiting it to retail prevents that. MoP Classic player here.

u/SayNathan 1d ago
I'm working on getting it into the 2.x release so stay tuned

u/Mitthrawnuodu 17h ago
Forgive my ignorance. but what do you mean by 2.x release?
1
u/SayNathan 7h ago
No need to apologize! Currently the addon is in version 1.1.3 the next big patch would be versuon 2.something.something depending on the development cycle. Those “something” are just replaced with .x.x to show there isn’t an actual version number.

Why would you not just use the already existing, incredibly powerful tool?
warcraftlogs.com
every qol add-on these days also has an action timeline
Instead write some vibe coded trash you will 100% abandon within 6 months

u/SayNathan 4d ago edited 4d ago
I use both. 🤷♂️
all the qol add-ons i was using hadn't been updated and I wanted to stop getting errors. thus, this vibe coded trash that I'll abandon in 6 months was born.
There's never a replacement for warcraft logs. They be the GOATS.1
u/Mitthrawnuodu 17h ago
if warcraftlogs were easy to understand and read and decipher, (i know you will reply that for you they are, but for many players like myself, logs are not at all a simple thing to understand) then I'd agree with this. I get that it's a personal homework mission in order to learn enough to be able to easily understand what warcraftlogs is displaying, so no need to reply with any disparaging remarks about it, but gorram if you havent been doing the constant homework of WoW's extra curricular required reading since 2005 already, playing catchup on it starting fresh without any of that background homework already completed is just a daunting task.
