WoW Forever Battle Shout reminder without WeakAuras

Updated 2026-11-03

To track Battle Shout in WoW Forever, use a buff reminder add-on such as Opcow's Buff Reminder or Thanks for the Buff, and treat it as a reminder between pulls rather than a live combat tracker. The old approach, a WeakAuras icon, isn't available, because WeakAuras has no Forever build.

We haven't tested these with Battle Shout on the live client, and neither add-on's description names it. Check that your buff is covered.

The options

Add-on What it says it does Forever
Opcow's Buff Reminder Reminds you when buffs have expired or are about to Ships a Forever file
Thanks for the Buff Click-to-cast reminder for missing buffs, plus thanking players who buff you Ships a Forever file
TellMeWhen Icons you set up yourself Ships a Forever file, with limits in combat
BuffReminders Points out missing buffs No Forever file when last checked

The combat limit

Blizzard's combat rules, written for Midnight, let add-ons display combat information but not read it or act on it, and Forever appears to follow them. TellMeWhen's changelog says its original buff icons don't work in combat as a result.

So an icon that reliably lights up mid-fight when the shout drops may not be possible. A check before each pull is the safer plan. Test yours on a training dummy or an easy fight, and let the buff run out to see what happens.

Without an add-on

Put the shout on a key you press out of habit before pulling, and keep it in view in the default buff row. In a group, ask who's covering it, as this kind of buff is easy to double up on.

Other warrior add-ons are on the warrior page, and other classes are in WeakAuras by class.
