Hey everyone,

I wanted to share a new addon I just released called ResourceArchitect.

It is a resource bar replacement that works for every class and spec out of the box. It auto detects your primary resource (energy, rage, fury, insanity, maelstrom, etc.) and your secondary resource (combo points, holy power, runes, soul shards, chi, arcane charges, stagger, soul fragments, maelstrom weapon stacks, and more), then renders both in one clean frame.

Here is the quick breakdown:

Smart Display Mode:
An auto mode figures out which resource actually matters for your spec. Ret Paladin? Shows holy power, hides mana. Warlock? Shows soul shards. Rogue? Shows both energy and combo points. You can also force it to always show both or only the secondary.

Per Spec Profiles:
Settings are saved per character and per spec automatically. Swap specs and the bar reconfigures itself. Log onto an alt and it loads that character's setup. No manual profile switching needed.

Secondary Resource Support:
Combo points with charged CP coloring, holy power, chi, soul shards, arcane charges, DK runes with per spec colors and recharge visualization, brewmaster stagger as a proportional bar, and aura tracked stacks like maelstrom weapon, icicles, tip of the spear, and whirlwind. It also tracks Devourer soul fragments both in and out of Void Meta, including Soul Glutton cap changes.

Layout Options:
Secondary indicators can span the full bar width or use fixed size blocks. Position them above, below, or at a custom anchor. Set direction, spacing, and use advanced grouping to visually split blocks (e.g. 3+3 runes).

Full Customization:
Textures, colors, sizing, smooth animation, spark, border, resource text with font and outline controls, threshold markers at ability cost breakpoints with spec aware defaults, and visibility modes (always, combat, target, hide while mounted, fade in/out).

Live Preview:
The settings panel has a live preview with spec aware animations so you can see exactly what your bar will look like before you lock it in.

It also handles Druid form tracking, so the bar switches between energy, rage, lunar power, and mana live as you shift.

If this sounds useful or would like to check it out you can do that on CurseForge here: https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/resource-architect-resource-bar

Check out the attached images to see it in action.

Let me know what you think, and if you run into bugs or have feature requests, drop a comment!
