AiB LuraHelper v2.0.0.0 — Changelog & Feature Overview

Icon Setup — Required for All Users

The addon uses custom rune icons for both the in-game panels and the action bar macros. All users must install the icon files — without them the rune icons will not display correctly anywhere in the addon.

After downloading, put the .tga files from the addon's Textures folder into the following folder inside your Retail WoW installation:

\World of Warcraft\_retail_\Interface\ICONS

You might already have files with this exact name in there, in which case you need to fully replace them.

You might also have to restart your game after doing this.

What It Does

AiB LuraHelper is a raid coordination addon for the Death's Dirge memory mechanic on L'ura (Midnight Falls) in the March on Quel'Danas raid. One caller watches L'ura's rune sequence, clicks the icons in order, and every raider instantly sees where to stand — no voice callouts needed.

How It Works

Out of Combat The caller uses the clickable panel (/lura caller) to input the rune sequence. Each click broadcasts the sequence to all raid members via addon messages. The viewer panel opens automatically for everyone and shows a compass with the boss at center, tank north, and the 5 rune positions around the ring.

In Combat SendAddonMessage is blocked during encounters. Instead, the caller only needs action bar macros created by /lura macros. Each macro sends a single /raid message per rune — no yell spam, no throttle issues. All other raiders just need the addon installed and do nothing — their viewer updates automatically when the caller presses a macro. Undo is handled via /rw undo which requires the caller to be raid leader or assist.

Auto-Timing The addon detects Death's Dirge automatically using ENCOUNTER_TIMELINE_EVENT_ADDED — the same reliable API used by BigWigs. The viewer opens 4 seconds before the cast, and a spoken audio countdown plays timed to each rune reveal so the blind side of the room always has an audio cue. After the last rune the viewer auto-clears after 15 seconds — no manual Clear needed.

Mythic CW/CCW direction tracking alternates each cast automatically. The caller panel has a toggle button and the viewer shows the current direction for all raiders.

Who Needs To Do What

Role	Setup needed
All users	Install icon files (see above), install addon
Caller (Tank / RL)	Additionally: run `/lura macros`, drag `AiBL_R1–R5` + `AiBL_UN` to action bar, be raid leader or assist for Undo
All other raiders	Icon setup + addon install — nothing else needed
