Staff's Avatar by Staff

Patch 11.1.5 is releasing on April 22, and one of the most-anticipated features is the Cooldown Manager, a new UI element that lets you efficiently track class ability cooldowns. Here is Blizzard’s official preview of the feature.


NEW COOLDOWN MANAGER

Players can enable a new Cooldown Manager within their UI by opening the Game Menu (Escape), selecting Options, then opening Advanced Options.

Enable Cooldown Manager: Toggle on to view important cooldowns and buffs in separate customizable HUD elements for the selected specialization.

Cooldown abilities will show up automatically in the center of our screen and include a visual countdown of when your ability is available to use again.

To customize the Cooldown Manager, open the Game Menu (Escape), select the Edit Mode to access the HUD Edit Mode, then select Advanced Options. You can select “Cooldown Manager” from the options then adjust the Utility Cooldown Options bar, Essential Cooldowns bar, Tracked Buffs bar, and Tracked Bars by clicking on them and adjusting their visual elements to your preference.

Blizzard also released a video that showcases the feature in more detail.

Are you looking forward to using the new Cooldown Manager?
