QuickBuilds vV5: cleaner UI, Icy Veins support and more!
Hey all,
I’ve been working on a pretty big update for QuickBuilds, my World of Warcraft: Midnight addon for importing talent builds, checking stat priorities, and viewing quick rotation guidance in-game.
The goal is simple: reduce alt-tabbing, reduce manual string copying, and keep build choices easier to access inside WoW.
What’s new
Cleaner UI
QuickBuilds now has a much cleaner dashboard-style interface. Sources, actions, and build types are grouped into a compact panel, with a darker modern look that fits better beside the Blizzard UI.
More build sources:
Current sources now include:
- WoWhead
- Archon
- Icy Veins
- Murlok for PvP builds
PvE sources show Mythic+, Raid, Raid AoE where available, and Delve builds. Murlok is kept PvP-focused so it does not clutter the PvE options.
Icy Veins support is back!
I had removed Icy Veins previously because updating strings manually was a pain. This update restores Icy Veins as a source and adds updater support so strings can be refreshed automatically outside the game.
Updated Builds tracker
There is now an Updated Builds button that shows what changed during the latest refresh. It lists the class, spec, source, and build type for updated strings, plus the last refresh time.
Stat priorities cleaned up
Stat priorities have been refreshed and cleaned so they only show secondary stats:
- Crit
- Haste
- Mastery
- Versatility
No more primary/base stats mixed into the display.
Rotation helper improvements
The rotation window has had a visual refresh too. It is still movable, resizable, and scrollable, but now it has better spacing, a cleaner frame, and is easier to read in-game.
Small quality-of-life fixes
- Murlok only shows PvP builds.
- Updated-builds popup now opens on top of the main window.
- Close buttons and action buttons are visually consistent.
- Build buttons now align properly.
- The QuickBuilds talent button has been restyled to better fit the updated UI.
A quick note: WoW addons cannot pull website data live while you are in-game, so source refreshes are handled externally via weekly app updates. The in-game addon then shows the latest refreshed data and highlights what changed.
I’m still testing and polishing, but the addon is feeling much nicer now. Feedback is very welcome, especially around UI layout, source behavior, and whether the rotation helper is useful in real gameplay.
