DungeonGuide

A smart, role-aware Mythic+ guide that shows the most important boss mechanics exactly when you need them.

After running a lot of low-level PUG Mythic+ dungeons since I started playing WoW in Dragonflight Season 4, I realised something: even with all the amazing video content out there, many players still struggle with the key mechanics for their role.

This addon is designed to help developing players by surfacing the most important information for each boss — right when they need it.

It’s not a replacement for learning the dungeons, and I highly recommend checking out the fantastic video guides listed below to get fully up to speed. But if this helps remind players of what to watch for in the heat of the moment, I’ll consider it a win.

DungeonGuide is a smart, role-aware Mythic+ companion designed to give you just the right information at the right time.

🧾 In-Game Editor

Starting in v1.3, DungeonGuide includes a full in-game Editor — designed to give you complete control over your guide content without ever leaving WoW.

Whether you want to tweak the text of a mechanic callout, change a role tag, hide an outdated note, or just reorder entries — you can now do it all from within the game.

It’s fast, intuitive, and built to support real Mythic+ gameplay.

🧠 What it’s for

  • Fixing or adjusting guides to suit your group’s strategy
  • Hiding entries you don’t care about
  • Editing text for clarity or personal reminders
  • Reordering mechanics to match your preferred flow
  • Adding new guide entries from scratch

🛠️ How to access it

  • Open any guide using the usual Guide button
  • Click the ☰ hamburger menu in the top-right
  • Choose Editor from the dropdown

📋 Editor features

  • 📝 Edit the text, type, role, and visibility of each entry
  • 🔢 Reorder entries by editing the ORDER field
  • 🎨 Edited rows are highlighted in blue and saved on Save
  • 🧼 Reset an encounter to revert all changes
  • 🎯 Only changed entries are saved — if you undo a change, it’s auto-cleaned

✏️ Editing Encounter Guides

  • Use the left pane to select a dungeon and then an encounter.
  • The main panel will display all guide entries for that encounter.

Each row includes:

  • ORDER - Change the order of entries by typing a new number.
  • TYPE - Set to Call, Interrupt, Position, or Mechanic.
  • ROLE - Choose the role this entry applies to: ALL, TANK, HEALER, or DPS.
  • GUIDE - Edit the guide text shown in the dungeon.

🪄 Jump Feature (New in v1.3.2)

Jump entries are a powerful way to streamline your in-dungeon navigation experience. These special guide lines act like smart bookmarks — clicking one will immediately switch the Guide panel to a different section of the same dungeon.

📌 What it’s for

  • Quickly navigating between trash pulls and boss fights
  • Creating clear breakpoints between major segments
  • Linking back to key fights for reuse or emphasis

🛠 How it works

  • Jump entries appear in your guide like any other line, with their own row and type: Jump
  • Clicking a Jump will immediately load the target guide section
  • You can add or edit Jump entries in the in-game Editor just like any other guide row

🧭 Tips for using Jump

  • Use Jump entries at the end of intro sections to link straight into the first boss
  • Add a Jump after key trash packs to send players to the next boss
  • For longer routes, chain Jumps to help your group stay on track

🧰 In the Editor

When editing a Jump entry, a new TARGET field appears. This must exactly match the name of the section you want to jump to (e.g., "Captain Dailcry"). If the target doesn’t exist or is typed incorrectly, the jump will silently fail.

📎 Jump lines are fully customisable

  • Set their ROLE (ALL, TANK, HEALER, DPS)
  • Use clear, concise text (e.g., “Boss Fight: Captain Dailcry”)
  • Reorder them anywhere within the guide

🧼 Like all other guide entries, Jumps can be edited, hidden, reordered, or deleted — and they persist across sessions.
