With the Midnight pre-patch on the horizon, the time has come to say goodbye. Hekili development has officially ended and there will be no future releases. I've been proud to help people learn the game, improve their damage throughput, adapt to changes, and analyze their performance. The philo...
2025-11-18 05:31:00 +0000 UTC View PostAloha,
I wanted to confirm for y'all that as of v11.0.0-1.0.0, Hekili supports all classes and specializations for The War Within -- all DPS, all tanks, all healers. Keep in mind that simulations (SimulationCraft/Raidbots) are constantly being revised, and there are always bugs to squish, ...

Did you think we'd make it? I wasn't sure.
I just built v9.0.1-1.0-alpha53, which is going to be v9.0.1-1.0 tomorrow, assuming nothing explodes before the servers go down for patching. I think we'l...
2020-10-13 05:04:50 +0000 UTC View PostDocumentation hasn't been the strongest part of this addon's life cycle. Aside from Installing and Getting Start...
2020-05-31 14:55:08 +0000 UTC View PostHey Patrons!
With 8.3 out and a new raid coming very soon, I wanted to check in with you all about our priorities for this addon going forward. (Priorities, get it? I'm funny. I'll assume you laughed.)
As always, I will continue my effort to keep the default prioriti...
2020-01-18 15:16:32 +0000 UTC View PostAloha all! I hope y'all are enjoying WoW in patch 8.1. My personal opinion is that the game is improving a fair amount but that 8.2 is going to be the real gamechanger when we get a new Azerite system that is hopefully more interesting and engaging. As for 8.1, a lot of specs go...
2019-01-02 02:44:13 +0000 UTC View PostAloha all,
Thanks again for your continued support. It has been a very busy time in terms of keeping the addon up to date, and your support and feedback is pretty much all that makes it possible.
In terms of workload, I have released 33 full versions of the addon since BfA launched and...
2018-09-18 17:57:55 +0000 UTC View PostAloha all,
As always, thanks for your support and interest with regard to this addon. I am hoping my recent efforts make you feel your investment is worth your while.
Current Status - DPS
The only remaining DPS specializations that are not supported are Mages (al...
2018-08-05 22:25:52 +0000 UTC View PostHey all, as you may have noticed, I credit my patrons in the Hekili UI and I want to be sure that I don't miss anyone.
Because I credit you by your Discord name, only folks who have claimed their reward and signed into Discord will be listed. I update the list periodically, and I'm a few wee...
2018-07-23 13:58:33 +0000 UTC View PostHey patrons, thanks again for all your support. Thanks to your contributions, we start BfA in a much better place than we started Legion. You may recall that Legion began with a few WeakAuras written for a few different specializations, while folks waited for the addon itself to be ready...
2018-07-20 03:39:10 +0000 UTC View PostFirst, as usual, thank you all for your support. I've been squeezing in more time for spec development to be ready for the 8.0 pre-patch.
Feral Druid, Windwalker Monk, and Unholy Death Knight were added in the last few alpha builds. My plan is to continue work on existing specs and the...
2018-07-02 05:38:24 +0000 UTC View PostFirst, as usual, thank you to my Patrons for your support and encouragement. Preparing for Battle for Azeroth has taken a lot of time, and involved taking on some long-standing issues with the addon, and I'm happy to have taken steps toward making it much easier to set-up going forward.
I went ahead and compiled the comments and likes on each spec in the poll, and the results have Demonology in the lead, with Assassination and Fury close behind.
So, after Enhancement, Retribution, and Beast Mastery are fully functional in the new specialization system (they almost are!), those wi...
2018-05-27 20:46:18 +0000 UTC View PostHi all,
I've made a lot of headway with separating out specialization modules and swapping appropriately when you change your specialization. However, each specialization will have to be rebuilt from the ground up, with Enhancement, Retribution, and Beast Mastery coming first.
What wil...
2018-05-21 15:01:05 +0000 UTC View PostHey everybody! I just wanted to get a brief post out to y'all that has some updates with regard to what my priorities are in preparation for Battle for Azeroth. I want to have all the major feature changes locked in by July 17, as I am anticipating that the BfA pre-patch will hit around ...
2018-05-14 23:42:36 +0000 UTC View PostAs promised, here is the official vote on which new specialization I will build this weekend. The spec with the highest number of votes wins. You can vote for multiple specs, so feel free.
In the event of a tie, I'll make a judgment call... Votes will be accepted til about 1...
On the weekend beginning March 16, I will build a new specialization module from the ground up. And since y'all are my Patrons, you get to choose which spec it will be!
Post a comment with a spec you'd like to see added to the addon and I will post a formal poll next week with all of ...
2018-03-08 23:33:49 +0000 UTC View PostToday, I'm going to break down a lot of the plans that I have for Battle for Azeroth. Some of the changes will actually be completed prior to the next expansion, while others will be reserved for BfA's launch. Changes that will impact your current Hekili profile (move your displays, brea...

2018-02-01 16:49:02 +0000 UTC View PostIn my last post, I focused on the end of the year updates to the addon's main engine and classes modules. In this post, I'll explore the addon's displays, how it shows you its recommendations, and some upcoming customization options that will be available for testing soon.
This is Part One of a two-part series.
First, thank you to all of my patrons, supporters, and contributors this year. Both financial support and feedback are greatly appreciated, and resulted in some significant improvements and changes to the addon this past December. Additio...
2018-01-03 23:52:07 +0000 UTC View PostAntorus opens today, and in preparation (and postparation, I guess), I've updated most of the addon's class and specialization modules to support the updated items and action lists and gear.
Update 1: Trinkets and Gear
One exciting update is that I've added support for a ...
