[Addon] xCT+ Remastered (2026)

[worador2k]

Yo guys,

Just wanted to drop this here because I finally found a version of xCT+ that actually works properly on 3.3.5a. Most of us are probably still using that old Barsoom backport which is, let's be honest, kind of a buggy mess (missing icons, totems not showing up, etc.).

I stumbled upon this remaster on GitHub by a guy called Hypopheria. I've been testing it for a few days and it's legit. He fixed the annoying Healing Stream Totem bug (now shows the player name instead of just "Totem") and fire totems actually show up in the damage frames now.

Best part: He added a working Overkill indicator like in modern WoW. Looks pretty clean when you land a big crit.

It’s a drop-in replacement, so if you already have profiles for xCT+, you can just overwrite the folder and keep your settings.

The config menu is also cleaned up and it has English, German, Spanish and Russian locales included. If you’re tired of the old version’s Lua errors and missing icons, give this one a try.

Cheers.

Hey everyone, Hypopheria here.

A friend pointed me to this thread (thanks to worador2k for sharing!), and I wanted to drop by and give you guys a major update. I’ve spent the day performing a complete technical audit of the code to make this the most efficient combat text addon available for 3.3.5a.

What's new in v3.8.5-remaster:

⚡ Performance Boost: Reduced CPU usage by ~30-40% through Table Recycling (reuse) and Upvalue-Caching.

🚫 Lag-Fix: Removed manual collectgarbage() calls that caused micro-stutters during combat.

🩸 New Features: Added Overkill and Overheal tracking (toggleable in Special Tweaks).

🌍 Localization: Added support for Chinese (Simplified), plus updated Russian and Spanish.

🐛 Bugfixes: All totem issues (Fire/Healing Stream) and double-text bugs are resolved.

The remaster is 100% compatible with your existing xCT+ profiles. If you want a smooth, lag-free experience even in 25-man raids, give it a try.

Thanks for the support and the first Star on GitHub! Feel free to report any issues directly on the GitHub page.
